@TessaBoase @WhitworthArt @mcrartgallery Usually I'd love to talk about this! I'm just about to start maternity leave though. I'll have a think about fellow victorian park geeks for you

[Dr Ruth Colton @rcolts1]

@OnceaLibrarian @PankhurstCentre Thank you so much! I really hope that we can welcome you through the doors again soon. The building that you saved inspires me and many others on a daily basis

Overjoyed that today the magnificent @PankhurstCentre reopens to the public and with an epic new exhibition 'At Home with the Pankhurst Family' (booking essential https://t.co/VpfBTxmTQV). We are proud to have played a small part in its story 💚

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

@Abi_Gilmore @Mag_PlattHall @LoveExploringHQ @OurStoriesHrtg @PlattFieldsPark @UoMCreativeMCR So great to see this come together! Really loved being part of the team. Can't wait to have a go at the digital trail!

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Wow! 19 million views!! Keep going!

Working TOGETHER we have sent a powerful message to UK media that if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for his relentless lying we will damn well do it ourselves!

UK news shows cannot ignore this forever!
