Great race in Baku today.

@OscarPiastri is just an ice-cold shark behind the wheel of that @McLarenF1 car. Spectacular job.

Also great to see @williamsf1 getting some well-deserved points—a lot of work rebuilding starting to pay off hopefully.

@OscarPiastri is an ice-cold shark behind the wheel of that @McLarenF1 car. Spectacular job.

Also *so* good to see @williamsf1 getting some big points as a reward for a lot of work over the season to rebuild.

@UltimaThule0000 Oh yes, the Canning one is…interesting. Have you seen the one of Pitt in the same book? Probably takes the prize for worst likeness.

One of the stranger portrayals I’ve come across in research on Castlereagh portraiture is this engraving in William Adams’ 1862 book ‘Men at the Helm.’

The artist (Evans) portrayed Castlereagh at a moment in 1807 wearing clothing that is much more influenced by Victorian style.

🔵 Can you help us find our missing London blue plaques?

As many as 50 blue plaques are thought to be missing, including the very first plaque which was awarded to the poet Lord Byron in 1867 before his house was demolished.

@arthistorynews Congratulations! Really looking forward to reading this one.

[The Georgian Lords @GeorgianLords]

These days we think of Downing Street as all about the #PrimeMinister and government offices. In the 18th century it was more varied, though also a home to MPs like Joseph Martin, who died there in 1776:
