What makes Portmeirion unique? I'll be exploring that question in my online talk on 17th June. The vision of its founder, Clough Williams-Ellis, was a determining factor. His use of colour, architectural salvage and carefully contrived views all make it stand out www.ticketsource.com/kathryn-ferry

Great talk by @seasideferry.bsky.social on the influence of the Festival of Britain on post war seaside architecture. Pleased to be see that Cleethorpes was one of the destinations of the Guinness Clock, and that a legacy of Festival architecture can still be found at the beach huts.

If you've got a sweet tooth you'll like Maynard's in #filey. The shop is more than 100 years old and they still make their own sweets - walnut whips a speciality! Their fudge is way cheaper than those chain places and I can recommend the banana and chocolate flavour 🍌🍫😋
