@CAPittard Ah yes, Alice Lisle. I’m not so surprised. Growing up in Hampshire I remember Judge Jeffries still being a reviled figure, so it’s not just a West Country memory. But then Mica Clarke tells that story too.
@RWLDproject@CAPittard When you said railways, I imagined ticket punching. This is really impressive - an early experiment in decarbonisation. And many mergers and acquisitions later the company still has a presence in Staffordshire. The ears are magnificent.
A really interesting role here to build local engagement with a global project led by students involving thousands of young film-makers across the world. @Keele_MCC@ArtsKeele

@CAPittard It’s a better than usual TOTP night, culturally analysing each era from a sofa is more enjoyable than the sometimes forced hedonism of the day.
An important episode in an excellent series, providing a perspective on what many of us remember well - the deliberate widening of UK inequalities in the 80s, burying Britain’s greatest moment in history as the most equal country in the world in 1973. @DavidOlusoga@dannydorling
Really good to see Keele improving its already strong performance in KEF, and whine that brilliant to work with staff and students who are so passionate about making a difference.

Delighted with our outstanding @KeeleUniversity KEF3 performance announced today, which highlights our critical role and nationally leading contribution to driving local growth and economic regeneration in #staffordshire and #stokeontrent and the West Midlands @midsengine
@CAPittard@michaelredwood Late to the party on this one, but yes almost certainly early Huguenots - lots of intermarrying French families in the early records.
@CAPittard No you’re right, son of John (1706) and Elizabeth Crisshold. John’s parents were George and Susanna. I can’t get get any further than that, but then the Monmouth Rebellion had ripped the area apart 20 years earlier. 7x GF isn’t bad going for the labouring classes.
In just over a week since the preview, the #3counties2023 exhibition has welcomed around 500 visitors to Burslem School of Art!🌟Rain or shine, it's wonderful to see so many people coming to support #artsandculture in the city 🫶
