From the detailed Map of the Battle of Waterloo in the 19th century to Sir Robin Knox-Johnston's daring circumnavigation of the globe, this name is synonymous with remarkable journeys. In New York City, The Dolly Sisters captivated audiences with their enchanting performances, leaving a lasting impression on Johnston's vibrant legacy. Meanwhile, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, stands tall as a symbol of strength and leadership during his reign from 1814-1815. Travel back in time to Grey Gardens estate on Lily Hill Avenue circa 1914; a bench inside its gates whispers tales of elegance and glamour that once graced its halls. Journey further to Johnston Station in Pembrokeshire during the roaring twenties - an era filled with excitement and change.

Their stories intertwine with those who worked tirelessly at Hook Colliery Railway in South Wales - an emblematic testament to hard work and determination. Escape to Villa Doria-Pamphili nestled amidst Monteverde in Rome, Italy. Its timeless beauty transports you to another era entirely - one where tranquility meets grandeur.
