Ohh interesting, don't think she worked in that part, I would've remembered her mentioning that.

I'll have to ask my family but I suspect she worked in the Victorian building from my scant memories.

Alas I can't ask her anymore. But I remember her saying she liked the staff/patients. She didn't have many photos but there may be some of her colleagues and her outside . Will have to have a root around and see if I can find any. Your posts sent me down a quick rabbit hole of family history! ❤️

Just read your email. I’d pledged but when I heard the news about Unbound, I thought about your income and work. All the best and hope to see it published (love The Guide to Modernism in Metro-Land)

I walk past Bradley's/Hanway Street often and always think about what I'd say if I saw you (it's usually something related to transport, history, cats) but I'd be a ball of anxiety so I'd probably just blurt something unrelated out instead and run away in a panic.

Do you know if companies are legally allowed to have A-boards in the middle of pavements? Happy to speak to companies when I see this and ask them to move it!

Thank you! Very interesting (and thanks for all the updates, I’m really enjoying it). Let’s hope they make a more sensible choice tomorrow 😂

Re: the panting - is this a negative sign or just normal given it was warm today? Tomorrow’s going to be hotter so wondering if they’ll be ok (presumably they’re hydrating through their pigeon meals!)
