Welcome back to No Heathen Land.
My guest for Episode 6 is my most treasured Librarian pal, Rhian Isaac. Rhian is Special Collections Librarian for Leeds Libraroes and I'm happy to say a good friend of mine too.
Rhian's dedication and enthusiasm for her work is admirable and I really think she has such an exciting job and she brings a personal passion to it!
In this episode we discuss notorious highwayman Dick Turpin, fron his beginnings to his frankly horrifying deeds across the country and his ultimate execution in Yorkshire. A fascinating story indeed!
As mentioned in the episode I will be sharing some of the images we discussed including those of Turpin on the Twitter page @noheathenland
You can find Rhian on Twitter @rhianisaac1 and her dedicate special collections instagram @rarebook_rhian
