Happy 25th anniversary @MuseoGuggenheim Bilbao, a superb titanium covered museum by #thefrankgehry It helped rejuvenate the run-down port along the Nervión river, once a major steel making area - the majority of the low-phosphorous output was sent to Britain. #steel #artmuseum

Thought I'd join #PostboxSaturday with this rare Edward VIII postbox in #Wolverhampton Of the 271 letter boxes made during his 1936 reign, 161 were pillar boxes. This one is now listed.

In Spring 1977 the demolition of the Sunday School and Church of the Messiah built over the BCN main line canal in Broad Street #Birmingham was well underway. It took most of that year to remove the church - the Sunday school was famous for appearing in a #cliffrichard film!

Nice to see the new interpretation boards finally installed at Snailbeach Lead Mine. The old ones had been there over 25 years and were beginning to show their age! #Snailbeach
