@emw_marginalia Thanks for sharing this. Have you noticed any patterns relating to a person's religious commitments/denomination? Is this more common among certain groups?

We often see ownership marks that end with prayers, or prayers that turn into into assertions of ownership. #herbook

Is it a book? Is it embroidery? It's both!
This rare and large embroidered binding shows the "soft self-wounding pelican", an emblem of sacrifice, wrought in beautiful silver thread. (E185 1629 [**]) #TextileTuesday #rarebooks #bookbindings

@BetterStsNewham @NewhamLondon @RBKC @CamdenCouncil @JamesAsser It's very good news. And then Balmoral Road/Katherine Road can be pedestrianised!
English
@mtwht @NewhamLondon @RBKC @CamdenCouncil Absolutely!! We have been pushing for boroughwide 20mph for some time & are more optimistic on this than we have been previously 🤞 @JamesAsser
English
Proposals for a new LTN are welcome. Next: a borough-wide 20mph speed limit as a necessary part of creating a healthier urban environment in @NewhamLondon - including Romford Road! It's working in @RBKC, @CamdenCouncil etc
Better Streets for Newham@BetterStsNewham
If you live in the area covered by the proposed Woodgrange & Capel LTN & you didn’t receive the information booklet yesterday, please DM us!
