@RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMailStamps Hi. If I'm sending a parcel using stamps, should I use your standard or online price guide? If the latter, why I am paying more to use your stamps?!?

Super excited to reveal the cover of my new book! It's out in May next year but available to pre-order now. Thanks to @C20Society and @BatsfordBooks for making it possible. Can't wait to see the finished product 😊🏖️🩴🌊🍦🎠

(I’m convinced that this goes some way to explaining how and why coastal communities were so easily overlooked in the public imagination and by policy makers in the later part of the twentieth century)

British soap operas have taken audiences to many postwar landscapes. From the brick terraces of an northern industrial town (Coronation Street, 1960-date)…

[Adam Coleman @ajc1001]

We did briefly meet Brits in a coastal town in the early 1990s, but like the tourists who fled the British seaside, we went abroad to the Costa-del-Sol (Eldorado, 1992-93).

Labour Party election poster, 1945. Absent from most imagery of postwar reconstruction, peace-town-on-sea sits in a chalk valley packed with detached homes and guarded by confident balconied flat blocks. Not a pier in sight. #seasidearchitecture

I’ve had a sneak preview of this book and going to be GREAT! Important work by @SeasideFerry enriching our understanding of #seasidearchtecture. Bravo @BatsfordBooks.

[Dr Kathryn Ferry @SeasideFerry]

Wahooo! I've submitted the manuscript of my new book on 20th century #seasidearchitecture! Out this time next year, published by @BatsfordBooks with lots of lovely postcards for illustrations.

Learning from five BRILLIANT young people from @TheWarrenYP who told us what they need from @ace_national. They were clear, brave & generous. Arts Council is privileged to have been invited to fund them.

After the UK's last coal power station closed last week, the Twentieth Century Society has selected seven projects that demonstrate how the under-threat cooling towers at these "cathedrals of industry" could be reused.

Design for hovercraft port at Felixstowe, by C. D. Gibb, 1965, third third thesis at the Southend School of Architecture.

There are more *important* things (I write words for a living)

But the point remains - Save Our Cooling Towers, guys 🤓

#LookBackInAnger at the @AlmeidaTheatre is a hard watch. It’s one thing to study it (as I did 20 years ago) but another to endure the company of Jimmy Porter. His violent misogyny & the toll on Alison feels shocking to now, so must have utterly floored audiences in 1953.
