Share Your View of Historic Places by Adding Your Story to the Missing Pieces Project

Add your piece of the story

All over England are places with stories to tell: from buildings to battlefields, some on your doorstep, others just a day trip away. Their stories are still being written – and they won’t be complete until you share your side. 

Your view of a place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the picture.

And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special. No single person or organisation knows the whole story of a place. Everyone who visits a place or lives nearby has their own unique piece of the picture. 

There are thousands of unique buildings, monuments, gardens and other places to discover – so wherever you live and wherever you travel, you’re bound to find somewhere nearby with a story to tell. 

Whether you have a connection to a place already or you’re discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture. From phone snaps to scans of vintage photos and architects’ drawings, from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about grand openings and transformations, your story helps us to understand what makes these places special and significant.
