This often-overlooked arcade in Hull is the only one in the UK shaped like this 🤯

More than 130 years on, Hepworth’s Arcade remains a small but important piece of Hull’s story - but what do you think of the Arcade?

From bustling medieval ports to Roman settlements, some of England’s once-thriving cities have shrunk or vanished entirely. In this episode of Ye Olde Guide, we explore the rise and fall of these towns - and what remains today. 🎧 #History #localhistory https://t.co/w9wxmfhYVT

Groundhopping isn't just about the 90 minutes!

It's about visiting places you'd otherwise may never visit, exploring what the local area has to offer.

Ipswich 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has an aesthetically pleasant centre dotted by a bevy of imposing Victorian and Tudor edifice, and a nice quayside.

Liverpool Lawn in Ramsgate, Kent, was planned as a gently curving crescent to exploit sea views from its site, which is set back from the seafront. 🌊

This speculative development was constructed between 1827 and 1836 by the Ramsgate builder James Crisford.

One of the joys of researching & writing my next book over Christmas is discovering research or designs that I would never otherwise encounter.
Look at this gorgeous & original 1948 design for a factory & warehouse in Ipswich by the great Raymond Erith. Regrettably, never built..

Arguably, this is why #Hull is here. The succession crisis and subsequent English invasions of Scotland meant Edward I needed a supply base and increased tax revenue, leading him to buy the small port of Wyke in 1296, making it Hull in 1299. @HullMaritime @hull_libraries

#OnThisDay - 2 July 1849, the first passenger train passed over the Chappel Viaduct. One of the largest brick-built structures in the country, it is 1066ft long, has 32 arches of 30ft span and over 6 million bricks were used in its construction.
