@findmypast Talk about taking “have your say” to a whole new level 😄 Clearly, she had words that needed said, so it's wonderful they've made it into archival collections.

@footprintsldn @YourLondonWalks @eventbritehelp Soho has such a fascinating history; it’s great to see the women behind it being celebrated! Taking history on a walk sounds like a brilliant way to spend a day.

@kent_archives @curious_kent @Kentishtrivia @BALHNews @kentlibraries @RamsgateTown @Kent_cc @ARASouthEast @UkNatArchives @explorearchives @ArchiveHashtag "A great golden cloud studded with rubies" What a beautiful way to describe it, and a look into how the past felt about things we still do today. Brilliant!

@BNArchive Congratulations, what a treasure trove of stories and history.

@BNArchive Really interesting to see how TV Times picked up on this back then. Feels like a reminder of how much has changed, and how much hasn’t. We've come across similar stories in our collections too 📺

[Bishopsgate Institute @BishopsgateInst]

@thegentleauthor What a treat; stories, cake and history all in one stroll. We love seeing London’s layers brought to life like this.
