Just heard my 101 y/o ex Geordie mum has died. Peacefully this morning with people around her. Typically she rode out the world wars, a Pandemic and Phil-the-Greek. Typical timing :/ Whoever gets her spirit next will be feisty & earn respect. “Love” would be a bonus.

Small circular early #medieval fortress in Łęki Wielkie is an example of so called Tornow type strongholds typical for vast areas between Lusatia in eastern part of Germany and central part of Poland in 9th and first half of 10th c. #HillfortsWednesday

#OnThisDay 2nd October 1452 was born Richard, youngest son of Richard Duke of York and Cecily Neville at Fotheringhay Castle. Dismantling began in the early 17th century. So little now remaining to mark such a momentous event. #RichardIII #WarsoftheRoses

U is for Union Workhouse This is Worcester's Workhouse, Tallow Hill, on an 1901 OS map. We have various records for the Poor Law Unions. Unfortunately details of those admitted, which is often what people want for family history, haven't always survived #ArchiveZ

@OffasDykePath @howardmrw @ODCollaboratory Nowhere near enough mentions for @ODA_outreach @OffasDykeYAC or #OffasDyke - come on folks More than academia and feed us @CoSMMOut and the young with your enthusiasm ;)

@YEARCentre @SmithsonianChan @MaryAnnOchota @exarc_net @UoYArchaeology So sorry to hear that ...

Sculpture sitting on a base plate without damaging below ground archaeology. If you're going to site an artwork on a Scheduled monument then that's the sustainable way to do it!
