Take a look at this 1978 image of the culvert & road at Begnagh, one of the many obstructions on the Royal Canal removed during its reconstruction. 40+ years later see how it looks now. #ArchiveExplored @explorearchives @HeritageBoats @royal_canal @royalcanal_rcag

Today we present an illustrated Circular of Travelling Criminals (Ref: HPF/H/23) from Herts Constabulary dated 1906. Some were convicted in Hertfordshire and many used an alias. The majority of people in the index committed theft or fraud #PastPolicing #Herts #ArchiveExplored

Here's a weekly 'wrinkle' from a 1923 Royston Crow Newspaper! It seems that this was a term for a recipe! It seems like a simple dish, we might give this one a try! Would you give this recipe a try? #Newspapers #Recipes #Potatoes #ArchiveExplored

What is this archival mystery? Looks like the interior workings of a #CoinOperatedMachine what could it have been used for? Give us your best guess. #ArchivalMystery #CoinOperatedMachine #ArchiveExplored #ExploreYourArchive #BlackAndWhitePhotographs #OldPhotographs

Grocery shopping is more peculiar than ever. Most items like masks, hand sanitiser and even toilet paper are more prevalent on our shopping lists. What are your shopping essentials? #ArchiveExplored #ExploreYourArchive #OldPhotographs #DailyLife
