Last night I found my first wig curler on the Thames foreshore!

This little clay object - sadly not complete - was designed to be heated to give wigs their distinctive curls, and dates to late 17th or 18th century.

Congratulations, Roy!

A special find at the weekend on one of our foreshore walks: fragment of a Liverpool Defltware char pot. Maybe next time we’ll find the fish’s head…Keep a look out @thisisyogic Reference: https://t.co/avXEnYo0Rd

“Libraries’ value could equate to six times their running costs.” Great to see the publication of the University of East Anglia report, commissioned by @libsconnected⁩. In the words of our CEO ⁦@HunterIsobel⁩, this should be a ‘game changer’. https://t.co/2zPGDJX3YA

A great afternoon with the amazing Mike Webber, archaeologist, searching on the Thames foreshore for traces of the London Delftware potters or, more accurately, gallypotters, active 1660-1750. Some great finds.

One of my all time favourite set of Roman objects are these wonderful body part shaped hot water/oil bottles recovered in the 1960s at the Asklepieion of ancient Nea Paphos and now displayed at the refurbished Paphos a archaeological Museum. They really should be better known!
