Embossed title of a book cover, 1850. So precise, apt, subtle.

Meet our Sunday volunteers. The group photo was our open evening for the local history group last night. Sue was a Wars of the Roses re-enactor before she moved to Knighton. Emily is our youngest volunteer and an illustrator of children’s books.

To all of you in the USA: Your President & his administration have become a joke and many of you know this but can’t admit it! Shame on you as a nation.😡 Thank God in Britain you would never see such childish idiocy from leading politicians… 🇬🇧

Something a bit different for #FindsFriday! ‘Peckham Rock’ hoax cave art with authentic-looking label, installed without permission in the British Museum in 2005, by the street artist known as #Banksy ‘Found’ 3 days later in the Roman Britain gallery! 😳 Marker pen on lump of concrete! 😁 📷 me

My photo shows a rock fragment with a fake cave painting of a figure pushing a shopping trolley and a horned bison (?) with two arrows piercing its hide. Known as ‘Peckham Rock’, this piece of hoax cave wall art together with an authentic-looking label was installed in the Roman gallery of the British Museum by the street artist known as Banksy. I believe ‘Peckham Rock’ is part of Banksy’s personal collection. He loaned it to the British Museum for their 2018/19 exhibition ‘I object’ which is where I photographed it.

Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?

The Chinese may have their century eggs, but move over—Britain just cracked the game with a 1,700-year-old Roman egg. 🥚🇬🇧 Forget preserved duck eggs, who’s ready for a truly ancient delicacy? #Archaeology #Eggstraordinary #AncientEgg #RomanBritain

Archaeologists Were 'Amazed' to Find That a 1,700-Year-Old Chicken Egg Still Has Liquid Inside

Discovered in England, the egg is thought to be the only one of its kind—and analysis of its contents could shed new light on its origins

Welcome to Kitsch Corner, at Tower House, next to the museum and home of the curator - me! The Boer War (?) prints were a donation to the museum along with two larger WWI prints which are now on display. Rather putting them into storage, we’re imitating the Royal Collection.

Collection of mainly Edwardian ornaments in the home of the curator of Knighton Museum.

With VE Day fast approaching, it would be interesting to find some recipes. Sandwiches made with tinned Spam from the US, margarine and the National loaf?
