@DFletcherArtist @thegentleauthor @PaintingsLondon Sad. I suspect it had even more hidden stories.

@Wiseworlduk @thegentleauthor @PaintingsLondon Pet shop next door is no more 😢

#OTD 1963 The Beatles release their first album Please Please Me. Eight of the 14 songs were by Lennon–McCartney and was their current live set. The album had been recorded within 13 hours on 11 Feb at EMI Abbey Road studios on a 2 track tape machine. youtu.be/jt8ehnFBxeM?si…

A lovely window into 1960s England.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Keith Relf 🥃🖤💔 #TheYardbirds

An advertising card for Simpson’s in the Strand shows some of the carvers who came to your table. The “youngest of them has served there for over a quarter of a century”.  More views of London Life in my post at alondoninheritance.com/london-photogr…

Whitelock's, Turk’s Head Yard, City Centre, #Leeds 🍻 Originally known as the Turk's Head, Whitelock's Ale House is so renowned that it features in guides to the world's greatest bars — and deservedly so. The pub was founded in 1715, and the Whitelock family purchased it in 1880.

RNAS Sick Bay, Dundee, Eric Ravilious, 1941. It was here Eric flew for the first time in a Walrus seaplane. The original artwork is in the collection of @I_W_M. #WW2

This 1965 footage discusses the "pub of the future" in Hackney. Quite clealry, and thankfully, this never took off. 🍻⏳️

It is #SaturdayMorning, once again, so here's our traditional start to the day & week-end. This is "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It was once owned by Sir David Scott, who was an avid art collector who owned 17 pieces of ELG work! #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

Good morning, Ton @TonEngels & thank you, somewhat belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. It is fascinating to see your archive photo because it shows a second lighthouse &, if one looks closely at Brynhild Parker's painting, one can see that she "painted out" the second one!

Good morning, John @JohnTizard & thank you, as always, for your kind words. The days seem to fly by so quickly at present so I'm glad that Brynhild's painting acts as a bit of an "anchor". Here's one that I haven't shown recently "Early Morning at Abbey Mills" by Elwin Hawthorne.
