Bronze head of Claudius/Nero (argue away!) from the River Alde, photographed at auction in 1965 (a snip at £15,500), now in the BM. A good contender as Boudican war loot from Camulodunum. I tell the story of this remarkable artefact in Echolands. #FindsFriday #BoudicaFriday
#FontsOnFriday Returned recently w visitors to St James Piccadilly, and again bewitched by the incredibly lovely Grinling Gibbons 1686 marble font. Tree of life w Adam + Eve forms base. Baptism of Christ + 2 more scenes on bowl. William Blake baptised in the font 1757.
On this day 13 years ago the new railway bridge across Borough High Street was being moved into position
Two weeks ago I graduated with a Dphil in history....my wonderful daughter Eila with me outside the exam hall. I was told it was a day to be proud......I'm now into 80 job applications without any sign of a job ...I found it easier to find work without qualifications at 16
The same kind of strategy used in the first generations of "brick" housing in London, where for years full timber frames continued behind a fireproofing brick curtain. Mathematical tiles (hung to look like bricks) are another C17-18 English variation on that theme.
Big thanks to BBC Radio 5 and Stephen Nolan for inviting me to join their show about male childlessness. Pleased with the way it went and there was even time for me to mention my book. This is the link and my bit comes in at 42 minutes, 12 seconds! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Remembering 1961 and the construction of Rodney Graham's metal box at The Elephant, concealing an electricity sub-station. Originally Graham wanted a composite glass & steel box with an inverted glass pyramid, incasing glowing mercury vapour rectifers! 😮
A photograph of a policewoman peeping round the corner into New Bond Street from outside the luxury shoe and bootmaker F. Pinet on the corner with Maddox Street, in May of 1939. The premises are still there and are now occupied by the fashion accessory and leather goods shop…
The timber for this house in Stodman Street, Newark, was felled in 1452. Of the Wealden pattern, the part behind the door was a two-storey hall. Now the Prince Rupert, it was formerly the Woolpack. I like the way the curved timbers meet the roof.
New mythbusting blog article: "Ancient Pub-lore". This one looks at some of the rather outlandish claims made about ancient pubs. So much of what is relayed as "history" is in fact folklore, and the tales are often surprisingly recent in origin. …iskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/2024/04/17/med…

@lionelwright_ Thank you, I simply went by the nameplate on Restoration House.
At the corner of St Mary Axe and Bevis Marks, this overhanging gabled house was destroyed in 1882.
@lionelwright_ @VanishedLondon Thank for the information, I've often wondered about this. I was working at 5 Cheapside at the time.
#TerracottaTuesday A little patch of #Roman tesserae in the south choir aisle of @Southwarkcathed, set in #TilesOnTuesday. Origins are probably consigned to history/mystery, but Cathedral sits over remains of a thriving settlement, just over bridge from Londinium.

@hordeofduck Apparently Lutyens was inspired by the vernacular architecture of lifeboat houses.
@lionelwright_ @BeardyHowse This is a absolute master stroke! For those of us obsessed with architecture it is nice to see such an extrados of humor.
A commuter roller skates to work during the General Strike, taken in 1926.
@lionelwright_ Yes indeed. It was an excellent show (although unfortunately punctuated by the covid lockdown, from memory) with a superb catalogue.
@SteveDeparys360 If you gave us the context we could probably assist.
@bo66ie29 This is the new London Bridge which was officially opened in 1973.

@lionelwright_ Thanks for your, extensive, Very informative and interesting answer.
