Really enjoyed the exhibition of William Morris wallpaper at #York Art Gallery. Made me think about wallpaper in a whole new way. Only on until end of next week!

The Huddersfield Chronicle reported that John Hetherington wore the first top hat on this day in 1797. The article stated that he was arrested for breach of the peace after ‘several women fainted at the unusual sight’. #FolkloreThursday #History

Hello 👋 Good to see you over here

Great book choices. Enjoy!

Such a chilly walk on the Westwood today. The Westwood was gifted to Beverley in the fourteenth century by the Archbishop of York. It’s still used for grazing cattle in the summer months. #winterwalk
