@NottmGirlsHigh Will all the NGHS accounts be moving over please?

[Polly Schomberg @bramblescram]

@sarfrazmanzoor Yeah, the algorithm figured out my work was connected to the culture wars and now it feeds me a toxic diet of the worse of humanity and I can’t really look at this app any more.

@sarfrazmanzoor I just knew Layla really wanted to and hoped you made it!

@GrudzinskiRg Ooh, amazing - is this their permanent interpretation do you know? @leedscastleuk

[Polly Schomberg @bramblescram]

Two questions please amazing Twitter heritage people...

1) What heritage days out exist for a family to immerse themselves in women's history? There are plenty of places with a strand of their story about a historical woman, but is there anywhere where is it the main story?

[Polly Schomberg @bramblescram]

@AileenPeirce I got:

Royalty:
KP - Queen Vic
Hever - Anne Boleyn

Writers:
Jane Austen House
Brontë Parsonage
Hill Top - Beatrix Potter
Greenways - Agatha Christie
Monks House - Virginia Woolf

Other:
Shibden - Gentleman Jack
Sissinghurst - Vita Sackville West
Hardwick - Bess

[Polly Schomberg @bramblescram]

@AileenPeirce Thanks @AileenPeirce - my instinct and googling so far suggest there are very few...would you agree? Even in the NT following the work to amplify women's voices in 2018/9, they are still an add-on or a sub-story.

Thank you brilliant people.
