In town last night for the excellent David Gray concert. The old Gaumont site is looking fantastic, another piece of the jigsaw delivered in style. The new bar on the ground floor brings life to a previously stale link between Barker's Pool and Town Hall Square #Sheffield

John Farleigh’s magical cover for The Listener’s 25th anniversary issue in 1954. I adore it. Some of the refs to past times I can decipher: the 52 Coronation, the Festival Of London, the UN, the War, opening of Broadcasting House etc. But how brave to put them all in an understandably stormy frame.

A journey into a shared past at the Pete McKee exhibition at Weston Park Museum today. Anyone born in Sheffield in the 60s and 70s will find a connection to their own history here. I laughed and I cried. #Sheffield

My reading for #worldbookday - this 1971 issue of a lesser known Daphne du Maurier. It's got time travel, history, Cornish geography, trains. Midcenturyology agogo.
