@mcribbHistory An incredible piece of history @mcribbHistory 👏

The Temple of Mithras on Hadrian's Wall. A cult religious cult, popular with soldiers, the outer room was used for initiations, where they would undergo trials, to enter the sect or move up the levels. Also one of English Heritage's most recent acquisitions.

@BritishHistorym The amazing Alexander Flemming @BritishHistorym, a true life saver👏

#otd 28 September 1928 – Alexander Fleming notices a bacteria-killing mold growing in his laboratory, discovering what later became known as penicillin. #alexanderfleming #britishhistory

@ArchesGroup @ArchesLocal @futurechatham @createstreets Absolutely love seeing an old building remain in such similar condition, brilliant @ArchesGroup 👏

🔍 Heritage highlight: Former Little Crown Pub, High Street, Chatham. 🔨 It was built in 1892 and closed in 2017. 📷 Photo 2: Dover Kent Archives (c.1915), Photo 3: Medway Towns Heritage (year unknown).

@RochesterCathed Oh wow, such a fantastic shot @RochesterCathed 👏

Our friends at Rochester Bridge Trust have been sharing some great archive shots recently. Notice anything different about us? The postcard is dated to 1906 but the photo must be older than that our Spire went up two years earlier. 📷 rochesterbridgetrust

@hevercastle 👏 as ever @hevercastle

Hever Castle is looking radiant on this crisp autumn day 🍂
