Learners Y Factor 2008 - Time Explorers.
Welcome to the Time Explorers Images page, part of our entry to the Learners Y Factor.
All of the images on this page were taken in Schome Park, and all of them have something to do with History or Archaeology. Some images were taken at student-led sessions whereas others are of buildings which are recreations of historical buildings.
