@LondonTommy66 Lapidos and Hefeld certainly fired a lot of bullets. I doubt if they were all collected up, or that people counted how many times they re-loaded. There is no evidence they got to a cache of ammunition during the chase but perhaps that possibility cannot be entirely ruled out?

For a whole year I shared a riverbank with a male mute swan

Everyday on my walk we conversed without a word being said

Every day I hoped he found the partner he craved

This year he brought his new family to see me

Aerial photographs are great for looking at buildings hidden from view behind walls. This example from 1933 shows HMP Manchester, also known as Strangeways, including its exercise yards.

@Matt_Pinner Hi

[Historic England @HistoricEngland]

The Dover Pharos in Kent is the most complete standing Roman building in England.

Built in the early 2nd century AD, it is also one of only three lighthouses to survive from the whole of the former Roman empire.

Is it the oldest building in England? ➡️ https://t.co/hzF5rGRmZu
