1/20 Hello everyone. This thread is going to talk about a small community in West Wales (where I live), and efforts to reclaim various elements of its landscape, including a complex social history and rich archaeology which are usually hidden from view #HiddenLandscapes 
2/20 Silian is a dispersed rural community near Lampeter in West Wales. It is within the top 20% of Wales’ most deprived areas in terms of access to services, and has no local amenities. There is nowhere for the community to meet and little social interaction #HiddenLandscapes
3/20 The focal point was the church, school, pub & smithy. The last two closed in the 1940s, but life still revolved around school and church. More houses were built. At school, children jostled for a place near the stove and sang together around the piano #HiddenLandscapes
1/20 Hi! I’m Katy, a p/t PhD student with @SWWDTP @UniRdg_Arch. I’m taking this opportunity to reflect on my extended experience and the amazing people I’ve been working with, who have introduced me to different ways of thinking and doing archaeology. #HiddenLandscapes
2/20 My presentation includes #HiddenLandscapes of my archaeological research, but it’s more a personal reflection than a paper. Really, it’s about the difference between the idealised and real-world landscapes of doing research. I mean, whose project is actually like this? ⬇️
3/20 I’m researching the past use of #sarsen stone. You know: those really tall stones at Stonehenge and the lintels that go across the top. I’m interested in how people have quarried and worked the material for 5000 years and people’s relationship with it. #HiddenLandscapes
1/20 Hello, I’m a PhD student @UniRdg_History, @UniofExeter funded by @SWWDTP, researching the British mining industry, through oral history. I will discuss the ‘hidden landscape’ of the pit, how miners navigated this & how it permeated workers’ bodies & minds #HiddenLandscapes
2/20 In 'The Mineshaft' (1922) pitman poet A.E. Tomlinson described finding ‘Hell’s own image in a Durham mine.’ One saying was that God made the world but the Devil made coal, and hid it in the earth, to drive men mad seeking it #HiddenLandscapes
3/20 In 1929 Durham miner and author Harold Heslop wrote: ‘There is nothing so awful as the darkness of a mine.’ In the late 20th c. trainee miners would be told to switch off their headlamps so they could experience the total darkness of the pit #HiddenLandscapes
1/20 Hello, my name is Kerstin and I am a PhD candidate in early modern literature and animal studies. With the help of John Stow’s 1598 A Survey of London, my paper will take you to back to early modern London and reveal the City’s equine landscape. #HiddenLandscapes
2/20 John Stow lived in London all his life from 1525 to 1605. He was a passionate antiquarian who dedicated himself to charting the City’s rich history. He often visited archives for his research but also explored London extensively on foot. #HiddenLandscapes
3/20 Because Stow published the Survey in his later life (aged 73), his passion for London’s history has sometimes been considered as nostalgia for an idealised past and that consequently we cannot learn all that much from his Survey about early modern London. #HiddenLandscapes
1\Bore da @inthelandscape #HiddenLandscapes! Here’s my Twitter paper about a linguistic boundary in West Wales.

2\I’m a PhD student @ysgolygymraeg researching pronunciation in adult learners of Welsh. This paper looks at 1 focus area, Pembrokeshire. I aim to challenge the received & widely accepted idea Pembs is neatly linguistically divided a long an invisible line #HiddenLandscapes
3\Positionality statement! Welsh-speaker raised in N Pembs to 🏴 parents, attended Welsh-medium primary & bi-ling secondary schools. Grandma from S Pembs. I consider Pembs as home & my connection to the county to be an important aspect of my identity #westisbest #HiddenLandscapes
We chose the subject of this symposium, hidden landscapes, in the hope that it would appeal to researchers in all the varied disciplines covered by the DTP, which include literature, archaeology, cultural geography and history. #HiddenLandscapes
The concept of a landscape is not just expressed in the physical world but can also be created by a variety of influences. Landscapes can be given meaning by personal viewpoints, emotional response, or literary associations. #HiddenLandscapes
Hidden landscapes are defined by the presenters in various ways: shaped by shared memory or different ideologies, the physical landscapes of mining or quarrying hidden underground or as lost from view, or forgotten, like the former presence of horses in London. #HiddenLandscapes
Welcome to #HiddenLandscapes, the @SWWDTP’s ‘Figures in the Landscape’ Research Cluster Twitter Conference! We have a fascinating morning of research for you from some of our current PhD students who are working in diverse subjects including linguistics, history and archaeology.
Presentations by @jackpulsla @KerstinGHope @EPeirsonWebber me and @oldchurchlover are grouped into two sessions. Q&A gives us some space to start the conversation, but this is Twitter, you can catch up any time and ask us your questions about our research into #HiddenLandscapes.
This is the first ever Twitter Conference for some of our students, and like most people we are working from home with varied IT access. Please help us by keeping questions on point, be generous with comments/re-tweets, and patient in the face of IT gremlins! #HiddenLandscapes
