It’s more important than ever to protect historic buildings and landmarks. Research shows the deep cultural and emotional connection people across the UK have with their historic landmarks, which are central to their sense of place.

The Palladian Bridge at Prior Park at golden hour, its grand stone columns lit in the evening sun over dark water beneath, with the foliage of green trees framing it in the sunshine.

Find of the day: 1960 letter advising that someone was not to be sent to negotiations with Keighley Council because of, "his vagueness and canvas- topped shoes"

Mary Delany transformed ordinary materials into extraordinary, inspirational artworks. At Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire, discover the The Botanical World of Mary Delaney Exhibition and explore the intricate detail of this new photographic display presented in partnership with the British Museum.

An exterior shot of Beningbrough Hall. The front of the hall is visible from a slight angle, with the lawn in the foreground. The Hall is bathed in the dying light of a setting sun.

Couldn’t notice or report it any harder than I have but a lot of this is quite technical. In the abstract even I would admit it can be a hard sell. Where the rubber hits the road is when a mayor outside London says “I don’t agree, Doncaster council, that nuclear power station is going there”

Fishbourne Roman Palace @romanpalace.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Come on people... we thought we'd had this conversation...

It's a meme. Robin says, "Fishbourne roman vill..." and batman whacks Robin around the face while saying "We're a PALACE". We're hoping the person we're re-posting with this meme doesn't take offense. It's all done with a big smile and a hug.

Getting back into posting on social media after many months away feels like strapping my boots on for a game and being surprised I now have the touch of the bag of cement. Need to get match fit again

"Lady knight"? Always a touch of the 1950s to the Yorkshire Post, but usually confined to the letters page writers complaining about peat-free compost

'Escape room' game acquired from charity shop. Open box, read premise. Jewel theft from British Museum. Plausible. Entire collection audited overnight? Suspension of disbelief shattered. Back to charity shop
