A woman hanging out the washing gives the camera a glance in 1932 Millwall as a Finnish ship called Penang looms from a drydock in the background.

Little snapshot of a time gone by.

A beautiful antique Absinthe decanter..

Absinthe is a high-alcohol drink made of botanicals that became very fashionable in the Parisian art circles in the late 1800 / early 1900s.

Bet that would go for a few bob on Bargain Hunt.

Does it get any better than this?

One of these planes was - at one point anyway - the future. The other made sure we had a future.

A pretty badass statue found in the Roman city of Lanuvium, not far from Rome. It dates to around AD120-140. Archeologists reckon it might have been a very elaborate table holder-upper, presumably one at each corner, the table resting across the wings?

Love the big doggy paws!

@milly_87 @thehistoryguy @Nat_Mem_Arb @BBCOne Hard to imagine what that just be like. I've had really bad years. But I can't get my head around being a POW in WWII Japan. Respect 💜

@Orkat3 Now I would feel very special having a wee in those! 😮

Ever seen a Grade II listed urinal before?

This 1880s one in Allison Street railway arch, Birmingham holds such protection.

A show-stopping 1960 Cadillac Eldorado apparently parked at a murderous farm of death from some horror movie.

Would love a big chugger like that, but on British roads I feel that it looks a bit over the top unless you're a tattooist or something.

In some ways the 1950s was a pinnacle in glamorous culture.

This Samsonite luggage set could belong to Marilyn Monroe 💚

The USS Constitution, launched in 1797, is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat. Beauty.

A student from Wimbledon School of Art wardrobe department mimics Catherine Parr at the National Portrait Gallery, 2000.

I love anything that brings history to life.

B-17 Flying Fortresses used to fly over these Suffolk fields from a nearby air base.

Two local farmers have drawn the sillhouette of one in a field using the GPS in their tractors.

Flipping massive.

I like this view of the Colluseum because it's got lots in it, not the usual view.

Love to wonder those streets.. ❤️
