The oldest human footprints outside Africa are on a beach in Norfolk. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

In May 2013, a rough tide stripped the sand off a slab of ancient estuary mud at Happisburgh, and uncovered footprints. Human ones. Pressed there between 850,000 and 950,000 years ago.

About 5 people, adults and children, walking south beside an ancient river, back when a fertile plain still joined Britain to the continent. No bones were found, only the trace they left in the mud, so nobody can say who they were. Only that they were here, nearly a million years before the Romans.

The same sea that revealed the prints was already destroying them. The team had a fortnight. They recorded every print between the tides, then the sea took the page back. The prints are gone. The record survives.

History like this is washing off our shores faster than we can save it. We read these pages before the tide does, and give them back, free, to everyone.

Back in 1922, Science and Invention Magazine predicted what “television” might look like, and now we’re closer than ever to making it a reality.

You are watching the first images produced on “television.”

Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrates his new invention, the “televisor”, for members of the Royal Insistution and a reporter from The Times at his London laboratory.

This “television” technology can display film at a rate of five frames per second.

A moving dialogue from the late Ian Richardson that would apply to so many of us today. Ian, upon reaching the summit of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, reflects on the past and his place in it. Today, such reflections are more depressing than ever. Our purpose is to live in the knowledge that we're leaving behind a better world which is why so many good people today are dying with broken hearts.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been confirmed at commercial poultry premises in Suffolk & Lincolnshire. All bird keepers should remain vigilant & follow stringent biosecurity measures to prevent future outbreaks. See https://t.co/Ei44zogGSt: https://t.co/kVC5W69sVS

How beautiful it would be to have seen the nightlight of 30s London. Especially if the war that never needed to take place, never took place.

@ThangamDebb @edbookfest If you don't agree with a historical statue, how do you stand ethically by possessing a peerage, albeit merely a political life peerage, which has a direct lineage to feudalism, the Norman conquest of England and oppression of people? I look forward to your response. C Moffatt

@corinne_fowler @BBCHistoryMag Hello, does this include feudal bondage and suppression of inhabitants of the British Isles... for eg Romans, Viking and Normans? Chris
