Ok #Railway peeps - a challenge, if you'd be so good! V interested in tracking down images of pre-1948 railway warning signs IN SITU! Ideally staff-focused, but public warnings ok too. Ideally copyright/permission free, but interested in all. These examples (c) @RailwayMuseum

Thanks Emma, very much something to keep an eye on. Great to see that all the Ridings of #Yorkshire have been surveyed. @YorkshireFHSs @My_Parish @EcclesHistSoc
This looks useful for both family and local history. Will be adding this to the recommended resources of my @PharosTutors course, 'Church & Community: Selected Records 1540-1800'.

Can anyone help out in transcribing this interesting resource?
I think it'll soon be 5 years since I started transcribing 1852 Flood articles and there are now over 556,000 words done! If you're interested in being involved in the Holmfirth Flood Project, please get in touch :-)

Perhaps I blinked and missed it, but was surprised the programme about Jodie Whittaker last night didn't mention that, after the New Inn Colliery closed down, the Auckland brothers opened the Savoy Cinema in Skelmanthorpe https://t.co/RYmVVUMW9H
