Friday already? Where has the week gone? Still buzzing from the excellent @hrballiance#BigUpdate proving that the historic environment is hugely important to well being and communities, and that churches have a role in the future.
With an early start this morning, I thought I'd post an image which might be appropriate. This is "Essex Landscape, Early Morning" by Walter Steggles from 1938. It was one of the headline images from our recent exhibition @BeecroftGallery in Southend which closed on Sunday at 5pm
The next #HeritageChat (19 April, 1-2pm) will focus on *Places of Worship*. You can add the questions you would like to discuss here: https://t.co/gKFTp3D5rF
Still time to ask questions!

Wondering what to do at the weekend? #Essex has so much to offer, from the oldest church in Europe, miles of coastline, and the best surviving WW I aerodrome in Europe. (With the addition of wildlife, great coffee and cake!) And its free! Where? @StowAero https://t.co/jH1DQEIsMy

Stockport Plaza, where I performed last night, is a right looker of a theatre. It lay empty for years, like many old, derelict theatres across the country but it should be an inspiration for how great buildings can be saved, restored and returned to the heart of their communities
