Stumbled across the only surviving town gas works in England & Wales @FakenhamMuseum this weekend! Part of Fakenham’s very nicely done town heritage trail. A rich little seam of industrial history.

Any small museums out there using Patreon? I'd love to find out if it is a better/easier/more reactive model than a traditional Friends group? #MuseumTwitter

Here’s one from the MMU collection for @typejunky and @FakenhamMuseum - Norman Wilson’s work for the North West Gas Board hinting at dire consequences of not handing over the keys to your house during the conversion to North Sea gas…

A gasworks related thread - how industrial heritage weaves into our landscape history and human geography.

Imagine if you will, August 4th 1577 in Queen Elizabeth's reign. Bungay's church was filled with people at prayer when
"This black dog, or the divel in such linenesse...runing all along down the body of the church with great swiftness, in a visible fourm and shape..."

Sad to hear of the recent passing of one of NIAS founding members from 1970, Derek Manning.

Derek made important contributions to the conservation of the @FakenhamMuseum Gas works and he wrote many articles for the society's journal. He was made an honorary life member in 1995.

Just a reminder to our followers we are not *that* BM and as far as we know we do not have anyone else's marbles, nor has our Chair ever been Chancellor of the Exchequer. Thank you.

Why not head out into our fine city to discover the places that inspired John Crome on Nick Stone's brilliant new walking trail, that supports our beautiful new exhibition #CromesNorwich?

Firebrick and retort liner makers from Blaydon. Not just makers, also two Liberal MPs in the family.
