Really annoyed I couldn't get down to the market today to meet Tony after the help he's given with the research. Bloomin' sniffly cold 😫. Definitely worth a visit though - development of last year's project with more context re opposition and ideas that didn't happen.

If you're at a loose end in Leeds this Thursday, I'm giving a free talk on the Northern Star and the Chartist movement for the Ford Maguire society at the Swathmore, LS3 at 7pm. Free entry, all welcome! drvicclarke.co.uk/2025/02/24/e...

Interesting to see this display in Leeds Central Library with lots of info about things to do in York, while Leeds City Council propose closing down one of the best museums in Yorkshire (Abbey House in Kirkstall) due to lack of visitors.

Misguided, shortsighted, unfathomable! A true community museum displaying the objects of Leeds Social History - everyday life in context. Also actively engaged in contemporary collecting from the community it represents and lies within. LCC should be shouting about it, not closing it down.

Please please sign and share this petition against the closure of the wonderful Abbey House Museum by Leeds City Council. Social history of Leeds in context, plus toys and games, and great temporary exhibitions. We can't let this happen! www.change.org/p/halt-leeds...

Farewell Mishal. Glad I'm not listening on the bus this morning 😭😭😭 #R4Today
