Last year @allcollcare & I made an appeal for help with translation of 1940s letters & diaries written in Latvian. It ended in a journey to Riga, some unexpected discoveries/connections & an #archive gift to @Pulvertornis & Latvians Abroad Museum. More to come #writing #research

A fashion for unusual dials came into being in London, at the end of the 17th century. A popular form was the ‘sun-and-moon dial'☀️🌙. ⁠ ⁠ This exquisite example was crafted by clock-maker Richard Colston c. 1675–1710.⁠

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.

#OTD in 1888 the match girls employed by the company Bryant & May in the east end of London went on strike. These women were taking action based on their appalling working conditions, which were having serious health implications on them. 📷: WikiCommons

Did you know that there is a shortfall in traditional skills in the heritage sector? Some of the crafts on the ‘endangered’ list include flintknapping, certain types of thatching and lead-working.

It always seems slightly ironic to me that the apprenticeship/journeyman/master system started with the crafts, yet the current UK system doesn’t support craft apprenticeships!

It was a pretty busy (and hot!) for the open day at Grandey's Place yesterday. Welcomed an almost constant stream of visitors between 10 and 5 to describe what we do and show examples.

Today I bring you the former German watch factory of Junghans, 1916-18. See how it climbs the hill. Light for every worker. Now a museum, which you *really* need to go visit
