At Lancaster University for the launch of Richard Brook's brilliant book on postwar Manchester architecture and planning.

that dotty black rectangle that breaches the 'boundary' road but not included in the key - is that an existing something? Very stylish plan!

This is our Bulk store, where we keep our non-metal artefacts. It takes 2 hours and 9 minutes to hoover, thanks for asking. 🧹😩

My alma mater! I wish I could see the exhibition - but at least I can follow all the on-line podcasts. Can't wait!!

doi.org/10.1093/ref:... David Lambert's insightful account of Mavis Batey's extraordinary life at Bletchley and her second flowering as garden historian, campaigner, activist, conservationist, author, teacher, colleague and friend to many at the Garden History Society - an inspirational woman !

This 1947 model was made by Leslie Thorp to be presented to the House of Lords to illustrate Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's plans for the new Bankside power station. In the foreground, vacant plots mark buildings destroyed during WWII.

The label suggests this was not actually made by Thorp, perhaps photographed by them in their studio, but a stunning illusion nevertheless, with a model neatly merging with a painted backdrop. The M74 motorway in 1968.

what did people think of it at the time it opened? when and why did we fall out with this style? it is beautiful (if there is space) and gutsy and where the receptionist/warden/bursar sits where the opening /transaction space is carved out of the wall (it seems) is so clever and simple thank you

'The Flower Walk, Kensington Gardens,' (1897) is such a beautiful vignette of late Victorian England; painting the London parks preoccupied Paul Maitland for the last decade and half of his career.

Congratulations to @themerl.bsky.social public programming and front of house team. Kudos to the folks who our led public-facing work in the past. Thanks to 7 decades of Museum-goers.

Amazing KINDER RISING swim trespass today attended by hundreds - remembering the unfinished business started by the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass in 1932, & calling on Labour to make history again by passing a Right to Roam Act. Great speech too by Labour MP @philbrickellmp.bsky.social!

The GLC maintaining those earlier conventions at Drummond House, Hackney, built by the London County Council in 1950.

Have been so impressed with the traffic reduction in Paris. Only one lane for traffic here - including buses. Most of the street dedicated to walking and cycling. Side streets just for walking and cycling but also with trees, public toilets and benches.

More to come but @joebeale.bsky.social @garrypogson.bsky.social Wall on the wall With white stag SW corner of #blackheath. Seems settled. Just so you know. #butterflies @ukbutterflies.bsky.social 1st one in 36 years of being here. Very 😎😎
