Bude Castle. Built in 1830 by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney to prove that a substantial stone building can be built on a sand dune. Grade II listed and home to a delightful cafe and museum. #Bude #Cornwall

Watching a programme on channel 5 about Longleat and its connection to the Tower Of London. They’re using AI generated imagery and honestly it’s boiling my blood! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Been sorting my bedroom recently and found this! A face screen. These became popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. They were used to protect a lady from blushing or their make up from running when sat near a fire. Now on display in my museum. #History #Museum #Heritage

The capstan in Sennan Cove, Cornwall. Built in the mid-1800s to protect the large capstan that was used to haul ships up the slipway. The upper floor was used to store nets and ropes. Some of the winches survive to this day (middle photo). It’s now an art gallery. #Cornwall #History
