Melanie Backe-Hansen -- House Historian.
I have over 12 years’ experience as a specialist researcher in the history of houses and streets throughout the United Kingdom, with particular focus on each house's social history.

Through comprehensive research of archival records and historic documents I unravel the hidden history found behind the front door to reveal, not only the house’s history from before it was built to its more recent history, but also the stories and intrigues of the former owners and residents who lived within its walls.

I have written two books which are full of stories found during my research of houses and streets, and I regularly contribute articles and guest blogs. I also regularly engage with the media on the history of property and local areas, and give talks and lectures on researching the history of houses, along with other subjects relating to property and the history of the United Kingdom.
