It’s Special Collections Sunday this weekend. If you are in Bristol and fancy seeing some cool old books - head to Central Library for a bloomin’ marvellous afternoon. Sunday 22 June 2-4pm.

It was the first Bruce album I listened to - I knew every word. I was far too young to understand what it all meant.

Creepy or cute??

It’s a lie Carole, don’t believe the fake news 😂

Yeah I just read that and went back for another listen. Pretty cool indeed 😊

Is that Jeremy White singing or is it real Bruce? If it’s White -Wow!

I’ve been working on the next Special Collections Sunday display. The theme is Animals in old books - and this is by far my favourite animal in a book.
Come meet this guy Sunday 2 March anytime between 2-4pm at Bristol Central Library

Well this is very cool 👏 👏

Damn! I missed International Zebra Day … a day late but here’s a C19th prancing Zebra.

How well do you know Bristol? Can you help identify these streets? 📷
At Bristol Libraries we are sorting through hundreds of old slides from the Local Studies Collection. They are a great snapshot of the city in 60s, 70s and 80s but many are not labelled!

Beautiful! I must ask 👀 did her hair get a deep clean too?

Here’s a blast from the past!

Thank you David. The flag is my fav theory too. I’ll take a closer look at any other images we have - see if we can glean further info. There is also a debate about the name of
the street - but that’s for another day 😉

One possibility is from the constellation Cetus, made up of 14 stars. Or perhaps it was a nod to the new country across the Atlantic, America, and the 14 stars on its flag. Or maybe it was just bigger than the Seven Stars around the corner in Thomas Lane?

Engraving of an old building. Fourteen Stars pub.

What’s in a name? Tomorrow’s Special Collections Sunday at Bristol Central Library is all about old pubs of Bristol. If you are in town pop in between 2-4pm. One of the pubs highlighted is the Fourteen Stars (demolished 1857) - but we aren’t sure how the pub got its name. Can anyone help? …

Tashe-tactic! 😊

In need of some Christmas gift ideas?

Triptych. Dog stubbornly refusing to go for a walk.

A very humorous scene made of Lego. Featuring Bert (standing with arms raised up) and Ernie being blown away into a tree as he holds a balloon. There is also a dog in the tree - must have been blown there!

Ok Bert, that’s enough, cut it out!

If I could time travel for one day only, I’d go to 18 November 1975, Hammersmith. 🤔
Where would you go?

Bwrw Eira! ❄️

A book shelf on my bookshelf.
🤔

They getting rid of the route? That’s a great route. Bristol has terrible bus routes 😢
