The variety of buildings by Waterhouse I find astounding. Not only town halls & uni buildings but many domestic properties remain. The book is underway & the plea for donations for historic images is reaping a response. A plea to donate if possible all donations acknowledged.

Victorian Drinking Fountains Talk by Kathryn Ferry Kathryn Ferry will share the findings of her study of the public drinking fountain, found in almost every town during the Victorian era.

#victorian #drinkingfountains seem pretty niche now but if you lived in the 1850s, without access to piped water & only the pub to go to when you got really thirsty, they were an absolute marvel. As I'll explain @thevicsoc.bsky.social in #manchester next month

I like how the Kamloops airport has a little spot for dogs to take a shit, but with a privacy screen in case little Rover is shy

This makes me incandescently angry. A refugee from genocide, a vulnerable, nearly blind man in an unfamiliar country, just treated like trash.

Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail.

This is always so nice when you celebrate your colleagues ❤️

LOL...the one time you need an autocorrect to get it right. Luckily, I hadn't hit send.

On 26 February 1889 John Fletcher got into a cab at Manchester Cathedral with a young man. An hour later, he was dead and his companion had disappeared. The Manchester Cab Mystery was Detective Caminada's signature case and earned him the nickname, Manchester's Sherlock Holmes 🔗 tinyurl.com/2sfm7duc

In 1861 there were 11 Virginian colonels in the US Army. Robert E Lee was the ONLY one to join the Confederacy.

In this week's Untitled History pod, @pptsapper.bsky.social and I talk about the Virginians who didn't turn traitor. Including George Thomas. Great general. Awesome hat-wearer. #history

I loved writing this article about art deco, transports and the interwar years. It brings together some of my real passions!

I've been researching a 'new' Victorian criminal today: John Lee. He was convicted of the murder of Emma Keyse in 1885 and sentenced to death. Executioner James Berry failed three times to carry out the penalty due to the trap door getting stuck and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

I had a hilarious morning chatting about Victorian crime with Harry Hill and Sunil Patel, for Harry’s podcast. It was huge fun!

Something I note in this podcast episode btw is that elephants, like cats, are sensitive to barometric changes. Which is why elephants get the zoomies sometimes too.

Of course elephants are less suitable for maritime work. Which is why you tended to get ship's cats rather than ship's elephants.

I'm writing a piece on this, so if any astronomers want to give me a comment, even anonymous, about this SpaceX plan (🧪🔭), please DM me or email me (acarpineti @ iflscience.com)
