Day 102 of #MuseumsUnlocked is all about cats🐈
This detail of a cat enjoying a bit of fish is from a copy of an ancient Egyptian wall painting, by Nina de Garis Davies. The original was found in the private tomb 52 of Nakht, a high ranking official of the 18th Dynasty.
We are disappointed but unsurprised by Kirklees Council’s decision today to grant planning permission to the Thandi Partnership to build a cafe/restaurant at Castle Hill, Almondbury. This decision was made in spite of very many objections to the proposals.
