The first building on the site was a simple little two-roomed thatched cottage erected by a French lady, Sarah Couchet, widow of Guillaume du Toit. She built her cottage after the disastrous Stellenbosch fire of 1710. Just a bit of our history! #eendrachthotel #bitofhistory

My dad loved his time in the navy and especially on HMS Hermes. I wish I’d found this old light from the grey lady before he died, he would have loved it. I miss him so much but know he is my guiding light 💖 #hmshermes #daddysgirl #missmydad #navy #bitofhistory

Although ISSNs have been assigned since 1971, on this day in 1976, the 1974 agreement between @UNESCO and the Government of France officially took effect, and the ISSN International Centre became a fully independent and operational IGO. Happy 45 to us! #throwback #bitofhistory

“Recovered from Lough Derg, near Curraghmore in Co. Tipperary in 1988, this sword comes from the heart of Brian Boru’s power base. The hilt decoration suggests a date about 50 years after Clontarf (1014AD) but Brian and his nobles could have had elaborate swords such as this.”

@carlbrown5 If anyone was an engineering apprentice, they used to get them to make a lot of their own tools, and they’d have a few bits like the drill too. You may occasionally see pattern makers rulers, which had the shrinkage factor added for whatever metal they worked with. #bitofhistory
