A secret underground factory in a Tube station???

When researching The Blitz Bus, I discovered that part of the Central line in London (between Leytonstone and Gants Hill) was turned into an electronics factory in WW2. That part of the Tube wasn't finished at the time... 🧵1/2

Hugely enjoyable Daylight Music show at St John's in Leytonstone. Wonderful performance from Faith Eliott, beautiful, wry, deeply affecting songs, far to say I absolutely adore them. Dryas is a truly brilliant LP. Fell were great and Owen & The Eyeballs the party band I didn't know I needed.

I believe she is sitting on eggs in a nearby tree but came down for a couple of minutes for a stretch and to collect lining for the nest. I am guessing she wants a more comfortable seat. #birds #nature #photography
