[The Mary Rose @MaryRoseMuseum]

200 years ago today, a letter to the Royal Society announced the discovery of a large fossil reptile, which the author, Gideon Mantell, called Iguanodon. This was only the second dinosaur to be officially described.

The Royal Oak - Meavy, Devon

A 900 year old tree that is sadly in terminal decline

Whilst the bench is facing the wrong way 🙄 it faces the Royal Oak Inn that is yards from the tree it’s named after

People have admired the tree for six hundred years whilst enjoying a pint

I’m always pleased to drop by to see the oldest surviving castle doors in Europe, dating back to 1190. Chepstow Castle.

I liked this story. I always save mine to keep stuff like nuts and bolts in but a lack of kerbside recycling in Hampshire inspired this young chap to save these from going into landfill. Brilliant. 🙏
