Love Island's Jessie Wynter passionately kisses boyfriend Will Young as she makes her first public appearance since being rushed to hospital King Charles was 'hard to pin down' on whether Meghan and Harry would be invited to the Coronation, Omid Scobie claims in new book Green, a historian and author specialising in the history of the capital, takes his reader on a tour of eight communities that fell victim to forces of nature, changes in economic circumstances or deliberate destruction, as in Capel Celyn, Wales – drowned beneath a reservoir – and Stanford, Norfolk – requisitioned by the military as a training area.

Omid Scobie insists Harry and Meghan didn't brief him for book - but admits there are 'plenty of people around them' who DID' Netflix deliberately dropped its trailer for Harry and Meghan's series on same day as Prince William's Earthshot Prize, Omid Scobie claims This is a fascinating series of stories about rediscovering Britain’s lost past by recounting the discovery of vanished villages, towns, and cities throughout the British Isles. Why did they disappear? How did they disappear? The answers are as varied as the towns themselves. Some were covered in water; others were buried in sand. For some, the land on which they stood eroded causing them to fall into the sea. Some were abandoned due to the plague, others were taken over by the military for urban warfare training, and one was even unearthed by moles.In all there are seven towns, villages and tiny clutches of long-ago houses which are put under the searching microscope of Matthew Green. Some of the villages he highlights are still with us today, one being the village of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, a much reduced but still extant village which salutes the pride of hanging on in there. The village still shows the outlines of forty peasant dwellings, some showing visible doorways and rooms, having been laid out between 1166 and the thirteenth century.

The mundane details of everyday life were recreated, right down to the call to prayer playing out from the mosque, and the synthetically recreated smell of Afghan cooking. ‘We’ve replicated everything except for the desert heat,’ said an MoD spokesman, ‘but there’s not much we can do about that in Norfolk.’ He details the political battle to save the chapel-going community and sketches the psychic harm wrought by creating the dam at Tryweryn, not least the pupils who attended the single class of Capel Celyn’s small school: But the problem is urgent and widespread: 800 buildings in England and Wales could be under water in 20 years, and London by the close of this century. Disney star opens up on his very racy cameo in Troye Sivan video where he gets a lap dance from the singer who is dressed as a womanReputations are besmirched and there are accusations of fakery, with some going as far as to invoke the name of Heinrich Schliemann, the irresponsible archaeologist who blew up some of the remains of Troy with explosives.

Written by a historian, although at times the writing seemed to be more enthusiastic amateur, with the disadvantages that the book can veer off into purple prose (The top of the pines floated in the wind, lofty and conspiratorial, the faint paths pathetic against their might”), peppered with fragmented personal descriptions, reminiscences or suppositions (regularly using modifiers such as “likely”, “say”, “it is even possible”). A series of essays about a selection of British towns and villages abandoned due to economic change or lost to environmental changes (loss to the sea or changing river access). I found the book interesting, but too uneven in tone, insufficiently detailed and fragmented. I learned some fascinating facts, but was dissatisfied with the book as a whole.
