Brilliant that plans are coming together for the unveiling of a blue plaque to commemorate the Battle of Holbeck Moor on 29th Sept 2024 - save the date!

#Goodnight with these two elegant Burmantofts candlesticks, courtesy of @LeightonHouse_ and @RBKC (they are actually in Sambourne House). We recently opened a new section on Burmantofts, introduced with an account of 1916: https://t.co/3EtPuPHEbn

Our rented flat has awful leaking which means every time it rains heavily, it rains indoors – making half our flat unliveable

If anyone has any general/legal advice on here would be much appreciated

The situation last night:

@pandop @fakehistoryhunt My grandad had a days of the week song he sang that had Monday washday in it. Worst day of the week apparently, cold late tea and a grumpy mother

[Caroline Newton @Cazzline]

@pandop @fakehistoryhunt It would have too! Imagine how cross you'd be if they bumped into your clean washing.
My grandma always said Monday was wash day, so maybe nothing could happen on a Monday?

[Caroline Newton @Cazzline]

@pandop @fakehistoryhunt When you see later pictures that must've been the case. Although most people didn't have cars till quite recently https://t.co/CzeA0tPbG5

Apart from areas of high unemployment, are prison populations, a group that was thought about in the 19c.

And the #1 skill here was impressive.

So many museums, so little time! Visited my son in Taiwan for a week and very much enjoyed what I saw.
The emphasis on conservation of collections, the digital interpretation and the interactives were very inspiring
