- Bomb damage from The Second World War on the west side of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The brickwork and Portland limestone cratered from shrapnel. The museum still stands and bares it's unrepaired scars.
- Is that the Henry Cole Wing?
- I don't know, it's the western facade on Exhibition Road
- Follow along for three weeks of training excavations at the Wonderful Greenwich park.
- Day 1 at Royal Parks Greenwich is go! With students and staff from the @ucl.ac.uk IoA and UCL @archsoutheast.bsky.social it’s our 3rd year working with the awesome Royal Park’s Archaeologist Andrew Mayfield! What will we find this year??? #LocalAndGlobal
- Great to join our @uclarchaeology.bsky.social students for their graduation today at The Royal Festival Hall. I got to my annual chance to go Tudor in @archsoton50.bsky.social colours. So good to see our MSc PaPa students celebrating and to meet their families!
- @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @mattpope.bsky.social The most important section of a magazine's offices. E. T. Reed, Punch, 1905, Volume 138, page 303.
- So prevalent they needed an entire department!
- A round barrow, just on the flank of Perching Hill. Not on the highest part dominating the landscape, but rather there for anyone taking the old trackway connecting the Weald to the sea. We stick activate its primary function everytime we pay it attention. #TombTuesday🏺
- I am fairly certain that the overseas healthcare professionals staffing so much of our NHS and care organisations are not the problem. The Labour Party diminishes itself today.
- For #MosaicMonday, the fine Victorian entrance mosaic of the Wenlock Arms, Hoxton, London. Known well to many a London archaeologist. 🏺🍻
- Out running through very arid chalk Downland. Seeing soil and crop marks everywhere due to the dry conditions. I wonder how much areas this is putting on wildlife and agriculture right now.
- areas = stress?
- Yes!
- If you like gardening then stop using whatever it is you are using and invest in a Niwaki Hori Hori knife. Its really a gardening trowe, it's so useful for weeding and planting I can't imagine not having one again. 🌻🌺🌷🪻🌸🌽🍅🥕🫑 www.sotogardens.com/products/niw...
