Hi, does anyone know what happened to historyofwallasey.co.uk? Seems the hosting expired 12th of March this year and hasn't been renewed. There's no obvious way to ask the owner if they need help as the only contact email is hosted at the domain. Nominet reveals nothing as the owner enabled privacy via their host QIQ.host - seems a shame as a lot of work went into the site. It's still kind of accessible via a snapshot on web.archive.org taken late last year.

I'm concerned about Paul, its proving very hard to track him down, I thought I had a means of contacting him but that has fallen through. Let's hope he his ok.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Dunno, I contacted someone who I was 100% convinced was him but he outright denies it, perhaps he just wants to walk away due to circumstances or whatever, some of these things start off as an interesting project but gradually become a burden.

I'm not looking into it any further.

Most of the links didn't work last week. It must have been a work in progress because the majority of the site is back up and running now.
