Simon Inglis / Played in Britain
@playedinbritain.bsky.social
Writer/lecturer/campaigner on sporting heritage/architecture + works of Archibald Leitch; erstwhile editor for Played in Britain + SGSA. Villa fan since 1962. Current professional status: 'semi-required'.
What a challenge (and not only to my shaky memory). My eight most memorable goals (mostly, but not all @avfc-official.bsky.social ) accompanied by eight tracks, and a good deal of verbiage on the side. Thanks to TheoDelaney #UTV theodelaney.com/life-goals-l...

For all you aquatic aesthetes, Splash! @designmuseum is a quirky fun take on swimming lives & styles - Roger Deakin's Speedos, Jelly shoes, Terry Towelling robes, some great short films & a history of cozzies... dare one say, a veritable lucky dip... on till Aug 17.

I do love a turnstile block - from #TunbridgeWells this is for entry to the magical highrocks.co.uk/attractions/...
Late Victorian, Edwardian?? Couldn't get close to panel to identify maker. Ellisons? Baileys? Stevens? Any takers?
