Ironbridge gorge museum 1980s. Caller: where do you want this canal bridge? Me: um….what ??? Big bits of engineering and even whole buildings were dumped on us. usually it was a condition of planning consent to ‘move it to the museum’ but no one ever asked us. So they rotted in the rain.

Welcome to the vortex! The next question is how long do I have to wait for an assessment- then the best one of all - how long do I actually have to wait for any support. I have omitted ‘what does this assessment actually mean? As there is no real answer to that…

Me too - when two of the earliest Australian women karate black belts came to teach at my school in the 1970s - but I stopped after school finished and only started again in my 40s . Still going!

Archaeology and heritage grapple with fakes and forgeries including objects and monuments - lots are not what they seem! And people are forever ‘restoring’ and moving things … www.sal.org.uk/2025/04/anti... www.ethox.ox.ac.uk/news/april-f...

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Maybe it is white people realising cultural heritage actually matters and is not just a minority thing? Erasing peoples stories has always been a powerful political weapon …

Wikipedia is brilliant for things you know nothing about and terrible for anything you do know something about. I adore it and support it - even more so after learning about some of the early history!

You can enhance the character of a place by doing new build well in good materials in the right place and keeping hold of important things like urban tree cover.Conservation always was about managing change well - and hopefully not building the slums of the future.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Cultural heritage won’t get us out of this mess, but can someone add sharing untold stories to those lists of local things we can do?
