With all eyes on Westminster, I thought I'd offer you a view of London in June 1841 before the Houses of Parliament were even built. I've cleaned-up this old salt print photograph taken 183 years ago by William Fox Talbot, from the window of his flat in Cecil Street. The original old parliament buildings had burned to the ground in 1834 and construction of the current Houses of Parliament had not yet started. This view along the busy working wharves is amongst the very earliest photos of the City and you can see Westminster Abbey in the distance, towering high above all its neighbours.

This Parisian autochrome was taken 109 years ago this very afternoon! It was photographed in colour by Georges Chevalier on 18th July 1914 (10 days before the outbreak of WWI), showing the entrance to Cairo Passage at 33 Rue d'Alexandrie. To the right is the contemporary view.

Des's youngest daughter here, just popping on to say a Happy Birthday to the man who made everyone feel like his best mate and who never failed to make me giggle, even now. Here's one of my favourite sketches, it was one of his too (with the wonderful Jack Douglas).

Thank you to everyone who has supported my map illustrations this year. As a small thanks I'd like to give one person a map print of their choice from the selection available on my website. Simply RT if you'd like to take part, and I'll pick a winner at random on New Years Day 🗺️

The Shirley Bassey Show (10th November 1979). Les Dawson gives some of his favourite jokes another airing whilst Shirley attempts (and fails) to keep a straight face.

This whips so hard. There’s even some Freebird sounding licks in there.
