@OzzyOsbourne Been a fan since 1976, a massive part of my teen and all later years - so saddened by this news. But so glad he got to do the recent farewell gig. I last saw @BlackSabbath on #TheEnd tour in 2017. Heartfelt sympathy to all Ozzy’s family and may he rest in peace

UPDATE: Sad news via @andybrammers, that the lovely 1923 Clough Williams-Ellis cottage in Oxford has now been demolished.

It was commissioned by the Canadian author and early 20th century feminist Lily Dougall, and her same-sex partner Sophia Earp.

C20 Society attempted to save the property back in 2022, but our application to spot list was rejected.

@PGJonesVenice Have a look at Bluesky - it’s like a breath of fresh air! Still in a nascent state but potentially a great alternative to this place. Here’s my one https://t.co/velGpR1mXk

@jpwarchaeology It would also be really great to meet you too, so I’m hoping that this happens! ☺️

I’m honorary librarian of the WAS so hope to see you at this, James!

Been talking w/ @WorcsArchSoc about these marks at St John's Worcester. Local stories refer to British Civil War soldiers sharpening pikes. My research suggests something very different! Looking forward to speaking for the society on 16 Sept. More info: https://t.co/3JsaZazgLw
