It seems we may have started a trend. Fans of the The Archers have taken up the history in a 100 objects idea and are building a list on their message board for A History of The Archers in 100 objects. Nominations so far include, a jam jar, a blanket and a bed - I hope they aren't from the same storyline. There are also lots of mentions of Forsythia, which is clearly a small shrub of large significance.Meanwhile, beyond Radio 4 we seem to have inspired the Shedman at his blog to challenge his readers to come up with :
From Lao Tzu to Gillis Lundgren, the Abbé Marc-Antoine Laugier to the Unabomber, from the baby Jesus to Frank Whittle, let's have your suggestions for the sheds that have really had an impression on world history.
Magnificent stuff. in the series is in Norway - and I think it's still there because I seem to remember Ray Mears trundling around it in a programme about the heroes of Telemark. I'm not a shed expert but I'll nominate from where he gently warped the minds of at least two generations of delighted children - me included.
Are there any other historical hundreds out there?
