    Charles Bradlaugh, the atheist, social reformer and #Northampton MP, often challenged the accepted social, political, and religious norms of the 19th century. A tour of &amp;#39;Heretics Corner&amp;#39; in Northampton demonstrates that Bradlaugh was often closer to his opponents than is sometimes portrayed. #nonconformists #atheist #Bradlaugh https://edintone.com/charles-bradlaugh/

    #Surrey has a designated and well signposted #SurreyCycleway. It uses mainly quieter unclassified and B roads. Should #WestSussex have something similar? Are there routes you would include? It&amp;#39;s good for cyclists and it just raises the awareness of other road users there might be a few more cyclists about. Details of the Surrey one here (down the page and pdf at the bottom) #cycling https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/sustainable/cycling-and-walking/cycle-network
