A vintage photo postcard of Regent Street in Weston-super-Mare. Sent from Mary to her sister Gladys in Crickhowell. Does your family have roots or holiday memories in Weston-super-Mare?

@MartinSLewis Used your guidance to appeal a Council Tax review as our banding was put up. After a FOI request it was apparent it went up due to a neighbour appealing their tax band. Outcome of appeal-our house was misvalued in 1993.

Visited the old munitions factory at Rotherwas🏭Here’s a glimpse of the Grade II listed Picric Acid stores, used in WWI to store Lyddite shells before transport. Hereford Council has a great digital archive to explore.

Hereford Cathedral Chained Library ⛓️

The chaining of books was a widespread and effective security system.

Hereford Cathedral’s 17th-century Chained Library is the largest to survive with all its chains, rods, and locks intact.

@thebookseller So very sad to read of Malcolm’s passing. My children and were part of a very long queue at one of the 20th anniversary of performances of The Gruffalo. He was so wonderful in performing and entertaining all of the children and adults until the very end of the queue.

One of the oldest records in our collections: a charter of King Malcolm IV, circa 1161.

Charters were legal documents that granted or transferred rights, titles and lands.

This one is dated at “Castellum Puellarum”: “the Maidens' Castle”, an early name for Edinburgh Castle.

@findmypast The middle name Christie was given to all first born males on my paternal Wilson side and shared by my son. Traced back to my 2x great grandmother Margaret Wilson nee Christie (1820-1904).

Eliza Pughe was the only daughter of Elizabeth Pughe (née Williams) and David Roberts Pughe of Coch y big, Clynnog. She was born deaf. As part of her schooling at home, she created a pictorial dictionary to communicate with the people around her. This unique dictionary combines her drawings with English and sometimes Welsh words and is a thorough record of the surroundings of her day. The binding was produced by Eben Fardd (Ebenezer Thomas, 1802-1863).

You can find a digital copy of Eliza Pughe's pictorial dictionary on our website.
