Stepped out for a morning walk… didn’t expect to stumble into a whole movie scene. Nature really knows how to set the vibe.🌤️😊

Knowing today would be a washout, we went for a walk in the cemetery yesterday. The last remaining leaves clinging to the trees but not for much longer. #cemetery 📷 #photography

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

#OnThisDay 49 years ago York Road Curve connecting the East Coast Mainline and the 'City Widened Lines' towards Farringdon closed, when services were diverted over the Great Northern & City at Finsbury Park. Image from when Robin Morel (shadowy figure) very kindly gave me a tour.

#OnThisDay 76 years ago, Bow Road (GER) station closed, not to be confused with the Underground station of the same name or the adjacent Bow NLR station which it shared an interchange walkway with. Today the building is a William Hill. Images / more info: buff.ly/BoQWu1c

The world's largest surviving tidal mill is at Three Mills Island, on Bow Creek, London. The 18th century House Mill on the left is Grade I listed. Everything from flour to gunpowder to gin has been produced here.
