Intoxicating Spaces

We’re a @HERA_Research project exploring the impact of new intoxicants (🍫, ☕️, 🚬, opium, and sugar) on urban spaces in Europe, 1600–1850.

[Intoxicating Spaces @intoxspaces]

Our virtual exhibition is now live! Imagined as a digital scrapbook, it brings together nearly 1,500 exhibits relating to new intoxicants in Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, and Stockholm, 1600–1850. We hope you like it and find it useful! https://t.co/zqDXXC0lBu ☕️🌿🍫💊

New project! Building on insights developed within Intoxicating Spaces, Place, Craft, and Alcohol in Historical Perspective is exploring artisan brewing and distilling in Sheffield with a wide range of partners. Find out more on the project's website: https://t.co/0IoJsRvJ8H 🍻🍸

I've been chucking my recent clay pipe finds (#found #mudlarking on the #thames) into this glass box over the last few months.
I tend not to take pictures of them on the #foreshore as I get lost in the moment - plucking them like flowers from the #mud. 1600s-1700s #claypipes

My collection of weird intoxicating tales is almost a reality. Been checking galleys this week so nearly there. I hope you guys enjoy it. Will let @DrinkingStudies and @drughistory know when it's out 🍷👻

Anchovy ice cream? Sign me up!🍦

I had a great time writing this piece for @ConversationUK about historical ice cream, leisure, and food in heritage properties. Whether the flavours are tantalising, or best left in the past, is up to you...

[Urban History @UrbanHistoryCUP]

"the study of the city as a space can now be more fully understood by a more nuanced account of the city as a changing configuration of places or the urban as a process"

@JamesKneale @HauntedLscapes This looks amazing (both your paper and the conference)! Intoxicants and the supernatural definitely seem ripe for further investigation; there are some preliminary and inchoate thoughts on our blog: https://t.co/pbwEjS9xkV 🥃👻

2024 will be 70 years since Terry’s discontinued its ‘chocolate apple’ - the counterpart to its ‘chocolate orange’. I’m so curious to find out how it tasted. Come on @Carambar_France, limited edition anniversary run!? 1/-
