I’ve come across a fair few of these, just recently on the side of a lock on the River Nene near Peterborough. What do you suppose this is next to the OS Benchmark on the Stroudwater Navigation though?

The top charity shop find, a Jaques Backgammon of unknown age, but they don’t seem to do them like this anymore. The shakers are possibly Boxwood. The counters similar. We have determined to re-learn how to play this game… #Backgammon #Games

A baby flask to add to the collection (these get used occasionally, not just for show). This was labelled as a chemists bottle by the dealer, but it is of course a Spirit Flask for taking a dram home from the pub. The pub in question was the Hop Pole, 66 Edgeware Road, Marleybone. #Pubs #PubHistory

That thing where you take a really great photograph, but on the first attempt you forget to extend the lens fully, and even then you have to guess the 1/4 second exposure whilst bracing yourself against a wall because… well, 1950’s manual cameras. Good fun though… #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm
