Actually two canals. In your first photo is Bar Lock Footbridge, in front of Gas Street Basin. This is Worcester Bar, where the Birmingham Canal Navigations Main Line meets the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Once physically separated by a lock to prevent water abstraction from one to the other.

When an object collection contains actual double decker buses, it has the added bonus of making an archive collection seem quite straightforward to accommodate.

Still in the game: restoring the Port Ellen distillery New life has been breathed into the celebrated whisky-making firm nearly 40 years after it shut

@melindahaunton.bsky.social @jtullock.bsky.social Good to see an archivist featured prominently in this story, and also a demonstration of the value of corporate archives. observer.co.uk/style/drink/...

We've had a great day @railwaymuseum.bsky.social with lots of engagement with archives.

Principal listed buildings would be another category. Although you'd have to draw a line somewhere quite high i.e. Grade I or II*.

Well, @lccmunicipal.bsky.social and I would say which boroughs they are in now vs which they were in before 1965, though this could be considered by some as excessively niche or not interesting.

I must have just missed seeing you there. It peaked at 2am and was even higher then.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at @sciencemuseum.org.uk as we’ve been putting the finishing touches to our wonderful new Space gallery. It opens on Saturday, and we’re celebrating with a weekend full of free space themed activities.

Are you aware of any best practice in guidance on cataloguing of and access (internal and external) to sensitive content? It's something we've been discussing recently.

It's something new for us to spot (see also tiled maps, weighbridges, etc).

Cubing again?

Surely you can do better than Costa?

Mayors of East Midlands, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire pave the way for a bold New Future for the Peak District - East Midlands Combined County Authority The Peak District is about to get a major boost. In a historic move, the Mayors of the East Midlands, Greater Manchester, and South Yorkshire are joining

@peaksandpuddles.com Did you see the prospect of "a shared cycling and walking strategy linking the three regions with the heart of the Peak?" www.eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk/news/mayors-...

It's the M&S Simply Food outside the barriers that swings it.

Hope it goes well. I did a live interview on BBC Breakfast (typical what do you want to study/ are exams getting too easy questions) before getting mine. A decade before I had any media training but both interview and results were satisfactory.

We were sad to learn of the death of astronaut Jim Lovell, who led the Apollo 13 crew to safety.

In 2013 we welcomed Jim to the museum to hear more about his remarkable achievements blog.sciencemuseum.org.uk/apollo-13s-j...

Braille 200 - National Railway Museum blog PhD researcher Tilly Guthrie highlights that this year marks not only 200 years of the railways, but also of the invention of Braille.

You've heard about Rail200 this year, but what about Braille200?

A new SHOPPING AREA has recently been built. It has a vertical concrete feature.*

Answered my own question using the NT Land Map: it's outside their boundary, which only extends slightly beyond the lodge.

Appears to be private, I wonder if NT owns it. www.findmystreet.co.uk/map?usrn=640...

I was in the library for an hour the other week (seen the museum before, and they were between exhibitions). It is a great venue for Brecon.

Now I've looked harder at the photo there's also something pretending to be a cycle lane that has a junction with a bus stop.

Not just @doublearrow64.bsky.social but @showmeasign.online. That black arrow is decidedly non-standard.

Also, there are no diagonals to get wrong.
