Heart of Albion
Bob Trubshaw
Full name: Robert Nigel Trubshaw
Born: 1954 in Leicester
Since childhood I have been interested in photography and all aspects of landscape, especially geology and archaeology. I graduated as an industrial designer and worked in various aspects of the plastics industry from the mid-1970s until 2001. In 1986 I returned to Leicestershire and became deeply involved in various aspects of local history and folklore.
The online Art of Albion gallery includes over 600 of my photographs; others can be seen on the Charnwood Arts Webworks Gallery.
Heart of Albion Press started in 1989 to publish my research into aspects of Leicestershire and Rutland local history &such as holy wells, standing stones, ancient crosses, and medieval church carvings. Fairly quickly this led to publishing books and booklets for other authors – this on-line catalogue of Heart of Albion titles reveals how the range of titles has evolved.
