A wonderful visit to @ChartwellNT yesterday. It’s always clear to see why Winston Churchill loved this place. The house always feels homely and welcoming, and the gardens and grounds so beautiful. @katieculture#veday80thanniversary
Final conservation completed to a compressed air cannister from our 2018 V1 flying bomb excavation near Ashford Kent. Our article describing the study featured in Issue 5 @IronCrossMag (2020). Images of recording and cataloguing taking place today (3.2025) #archaeology
Continuing to catalogue the conservation to date of our September 2024 V2 rocket excavation at Westerham. Item being photographed is a burner cup with the remains of the central liquid oxygen diffuser #Archaeology
@BelmontHseGdns So sorry that the storm has caused this damage. Glad everyone is safe though, and I’m sure everyone will understand why you have to stay closed until things are safe.
THE SERVICE OF YOUTH: #ww2 was not only won by adults. Through numerous youth organisations, children played their part on #britain's #HomeFront. Using rare artefacts, I tell the history of these forgotten groups only in the current @britainatwar magazine
