Somehow the sender address makes it even worse! Luckily we found a decent box for this customer order!

It’s a dull day but we’re brightening it up as a box of old brass full of weird and wonderful stuff has just arrived!

#BTPosse #NotTerrierTuesday What fresh hell is this?

Debbie’s done another great job with the Xmas windows this year! #christmaswindows #christmas

In 2009 Cockermouth was badly flooded. This was how the shop was left on 20th Nov 2009. 😬 We lost almost all our stock and is one of the reasons why we diversified to selling old tools.

Mystery item here that even Ken had to google. Can anyone get the correct answer? #oldtools #mysteryitem

We’ve been getting ready for Xmas with some cute stocking fillers. First up these paper weights made by a firm down in Yorkshire.

What's the point of temptation if you dont occasionally give in to it - BE NOSEY! BROWSE! #moonsbookshop #booksky #bookshopsofcumbria #bibliophile #whitehaven

This week we’ve been busy doing our yearly stocktake. Yes, we do count everything in the drawers and boxes and we smashed it by finishing it in two days!

It's dry in the bookshop! #bookshopsofcumbria #antiquarianbookshop #booksky #moonsbookshop

Rivers are rather high in #cockermouth today.

Got some new walking boots yesterday so tested them out round Wythop with Seymour and mini-boss.

A gorgeous dusk here in Cockermouth.

A rare date night with husband at the Smugglers Cove in #maryport. Cheese and cocktails!

okay who did this?

It’s beginning look a lot like… …autumn. 🍂 You thought we were going to say Christmas? No it’s too early for that. 🎅🏻 🎁

Boney M has had a great first morning! #cockermouth #halloween #museum

Staff are getting as old as the shop now! #cockermouth #halloween

Found a museum study from 2012 and love this comment. ‘Keep the smell’! #museum

An oldy but a goody for #terriertuesday #btposse

The first of our new loan boxes is heading to a school today! We really hope the class enjoy exploring our Changes in Living Memory (Leisure) box. 😁 We have 8 loan boxes, filled with objects, photographs and documents, which are designed to support history in school. Find out more: buff.ly/Z9Wicrw

Autumn called. It brought scones. Carrot cake scones. Try them in our cafés where every bake directly supports our work looking after the places you love.

The things I do so Deb has a decent Halloween window! #halloween

Step back in time at J. B. Banks & Son Ltd in Cockermouth – a traditional ironmongers trading for almost 200 years with a free heritage museum full of antique tools, locks & local history. A true Cumbrian gem! 🔩🕰️ 👉 www.cumbriaguru.com/places/j-b-b... @jbbanks.bsky.social

Popped up in my memories, when Seymour was promoted to head of customer service back in 2018. #btposse

Brilliant. But now I want a podcast about the railway paralysis poisoner!

Sometimes it pays to have a ratch through the drawers. Seems like in 1890 someone decided to use this newspaper as a drawer liner!

@jbbanks.bsky.social You're in Cumbria Magazine this month!

Had a retired engineer donate some of his items to the museum today. He kindly labelled the more obscure tools! #oldtools #museum

Rather cloudy today but one of the most beautiful bus journeys. #lakedistrict

Seymour had great fun running around the new dog park at our local West Cumberland Farmers! #btposse

#onthisday, 5 Sept 1884, #Whitehaven #TurkishBaths opened—the 1st in the world to be lit by electricity using Swan's Incandescent Lamps as in Armstrong's nearby #Cragside. 3 hot rooms, salt water plunge, needle douche, shampooing & cooling-room. www.victorianturkishbath.org/_6DIRECTORY/... 🗃️ #C19th

We don't know why, but we can't help thinking this bird is on its way to a nightclub. We also think it might have taken something. 😬 #MosaicMonday

We went to Maryport’s Senhouse Roman museum today and spotted a picture of one of Seymour’s ancestors! #btposse #maryport

Here’s a wonderful selection of artwork from two lovely local ladies, Jill Davies and Magda Brugier who have been sketching items in our museum. This is a small sample of their art. #cockermouth

Their relationship is slightly one sided! #terriertuesday #btposse

Sometimes #oldtools are like buses. We’ve had no compass planes in for about a year and suddenly I’ve got two! #jbbanks #vintage

He’s more hair than dog so booked Seymour into the groomers! #btposse

Kiddo is back at school so doing admin in a silence with only coffee for company.

It is time to announce the semifinalists for the Small Spec Book Awards. Thank you to our readers, who worked diligently to assign ratings to all books. The competition was close. Authors, we hope you are proud of your stories because we are. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Can anyone help @arch-mais.bsky.social find what they're after? 🚙 #TerrierTuesday #Travel #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #TravelTuesday #BTposse

Seymour hates going in the car! #terriertuesday question for #btposse, we’re getting a new car soon, what’s the best dog car seat to avoid all the hair? Going to try and keep this car clean!
