Archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the entrance to King Tutankhamen’s tomb on this day 1922. Manchester Museum had already embraced the Egyptology boom, adding a new wing. Margaret Murray in 1908 ‘unwrapped’ the mummified priest Khnum-nakt in a public demonstration.

I think you bring topics to the table that may not necessarily be brought by most of for fear of disagreement. What you do is open our minds to hearing and having opinions. I like how you handle the few who are just nasty buggers ( 🥴)Politics , religion and acting 😂 you’re ok me lad

This seemingly radical act of kindness.

Why is that not normal?

But it isn't.

And that's why I'm in tears

Vintage printed notice from Penistone Urban District Council Free Library warning that smoking or spitting in the rooms or on the premises is strictly prohibited. The black text on aged beige paper reads: “NOTICE. SMOKING OR SPITTING in these Rooms or on these premises is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. After this notice offenders will be prosecuted. By order of the Library Committee, CHAS. HODGKINSON, Clerk.” The typography is bold and formal, typical of early 20th-century public signage. Keywords: vintage library sign, prohibition notice, no smoking or spitting, Penistone Urban District Council, antique public notice, historical signage, library rules poster.

Useful advice back in 1910 when going to Penistone library

Oh Hal that’s was just so beautiful and so natural. I watched the video and it wrapped itself round me like a warm cosy blanket. The fears and worries of the day dissipated and I was at one with Vince,your Dad. His voice , his story, his warmth and love. The music and voices will resonate with me 🥰
