It's not every day that you discover a 200-year-old handknitted jumper...

Last week a vibrant Faroese-knitted jumper, fine stockings, coins and grain were found in a parcel from a cargo ship seized in 1807, part of our @Prize_Papers project

Someone’s activated the Woolwich forcefield again...

@mentionthewar I’m so very sorry to hear this - Jo’s infectious enthusiasm and collegiality made him great to work with. My thoughts are with all who loved him.

Where’s Woolwich: the Freezing Fog Edition

[Elizabeth Brunton @BethyBrunton]

@melindahaunton Italian Duolingo is great fun if you enjoy learning phrases like ‘I’ll love you until you die’, ‘he is the first to die’, and ‘a knife is missing from the kitchen’. Honestly, the Italian owl is scary.

@annaturley She came to speak to my politics A-level class at (what was) South Park Sixth Form in about 1996 and then arranged for us to go to Parliament for a tour etc. I ended up working in HoP in a couple of different roles and often thought how lucky I had been to meet her!
