Fantastic Tim Burton exhibition at @designmuseum.bsky.social this weekend - old favourites and some additions to Ceinwen's 'must see's'...

Sad news that the Big Apple, Mumbles has been damaged by a car. A rare survival of a 1930s Cidatone kiosk of reinforced concrete, converted to an ice-cream kiosk. It's not the first time - the 2019 listing specified it was Ford Fiesta last time 😉 Hopefully support will be available to fully restore!

And apparently we are on to Easter...

And equally wonderful that the listing description for the Arts Building at Bangor has been upgraded to include the post-war additions - the Library Extension of 1963 and north-east range of 1968, both also Percy Thomas & Son.

I know there are worse results of #StormDarragh, but sad to see the damage done to Llandudno Pier by the winds today #Llandudno

Its been so important to have the opportunity to record the chapel before closure. Laser scanning, photogrammetry and photography at least mean the chapel is digitally preserved for the future, though that will never be a substitute for the real thing. #DigitalDocumentation

Going to auction today, Zion Baptist Chapel, Newtown; Grade II* & one of the most magnificent and important chapels in Wales (if not the UK), it would be so great to see a sympathetic community reuse - short blog about the chapel on the RCAHMWales website: rcahmw.gov.uk/closure-of-z...
#WelshChapels

And with some wonderful details

Very lucky to have been able to spend time carrying out recording work at Capel Jerusalem Bethesda recently. One of only 5 Grade I listed chapels in Wales, indicating both its architectural and historical importance at the heart of 19th century slate quarrying communities. #WelshChapels #CapeliCymru

I can only do #DogsAtChapels I'm afraid...

A beautifully curated exhibition of David Jones's work at Y Gaer Brecon last year - it was wonderful to see so many of his works in person

The absolutely amazing murals in Cwmbrân town centre by Henry Collins and Joyce Pallot depicting Monmouthshire history, commissioned by the Cwmbrân Development Corporation #Cwmbran75

Happy 75th birthday this month to Cwmbrân:The town where the future is happening now, the only Mark I Newtown in Wales and a wonderfully unique place! #Cwmbran75

Finally making the launch into Bluesky and hoping to refind the joy of community I've missed from other platforms! #hellobluesky
