A fashion for unusual dials came into being in London, at the end of the 17th century. A popular form was the ‘sun-and-moon dial'☀️🌙. ⁠
⁠
This exquisite example was crafted by clock-maker Richard Colston c. 1675–1710.⁠

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.

#OTD in 1888 the match girls employed by the company Bryant & May in the east end of London went on strike.

These women were taking action based on their appalling working conditions, which were having serious health implications on them.

It always seems slightly ironic to me that the apprenticeship/journeyman/master system started with the crafts, yet the current UK system doesn’t support craft apprenticeships!

It was a pretty busy (and hot!) for the open day at Grandey's Place yesterday. Welcomed an almost constant stream of visitors between 10 and 5 to describe what we do and show examples.

Today I bring you the former German watch factory of Junghans, 1916-18. See how it climbs the hill. Light for every worker. Now a museum, which you *really* need to go visit
