Happy Birthday from me and the moggies
16.07.2025 09:48 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I remember EH being described to me as ‘the Landlord of Last Resort’ when I joined in 2003. The sites are a hugely important part of history but most will never be commercially successful. As someone who was made redundant just before split it’s sad to hear the place is still toxic.

Open the Box- an ERO project supported by The NLHF has officially started! Over the next three years, they will work with communities and groups under-represented in the archive. To start they need to hear from current users via this short survey tinyurl.com/EROSurvey

Stained glass windows in a church
A museum interactive showing a two stroke engine
Viking reenactors in a battle
By way of introduction- I’m a freelancer working in the heritage/arts/culture sectors mostly involved in evaluation, audience development and learning. I love the variety - in the past year I’ve worked on a Viking festival, with churches engaging with their wider communities & various museums
