@IslingtonWalks Thank you! (These are four cracking fire stations at Hampstead, Whitechapel, Bishopsgate and Gt Marlborough Street)

@HistoryOfStokey It means a ladder on wheels! These were kept at strategic points around towns and cities during this period.

@alisonmkrae @CharterhouseEC1 At the Barbican we thought about the architect’s clever handling of contrasts.. hard/soft public/private light/shade under/over… one I hadn’t considered was Barbican/Morris dancers 🤣🤣🤣

@HistoryOfStokey Yasss! It’s so great how listening to someone talk knowledgeably on a different subject changes the way you look around 😊 Thank you for opening my eyes to old road signs!

@createstreets (Technically, this example *reinstates* a vista lost in mid C20th redevelopment.)

@__Dor__ Whosagooddog?

[BillyHR @InspectorBilly]

@2for1_pizzas Fabulous.

[Sophie Linden @SophieKLinden]

Come on Hackney - we so have the best logo. Get voting! (Sorry Camden love you really).

[BillyHR @InspectorBilly]

@JennyMulholland @openhouselondon Brent made a valiant effort, but at the end of the day their logo looks like hangar lane gyratory took an acid trip. Camden is much more classic. (But not as good as HACKNEY! Bring on the final!!)

[Open House Festival @openhouselondon]

This is it. You've seen them sparring before but now it's a place in the final to play for. Hackney's logo vs the City of London's logo. Vote in the poll following this tweet.

[Hackney Archives @ArchivesHackney]

@hackneycouncil Here are a couple of examples from our wonderful LBH public service posters from the 70s & 80s

Its immediately recognisable and wonderfully versatile - even holding together a tent!

@openhouselondon How is Co-op on pride weekend still in this competition?
