Reform is led by Londoners who haven’t had a lifetime of using railways in the North. So I suppose it’s no surprise that they think it’s fine for us to be stuck with a second-class railway while the south gets modern, high-speed lines.👇🏻 We have higher ambitions for the North.

Wigan’s Gaudi Can anyone help to save this important surprising and endangered wonder of folk art by the lovely late Kevin Duffy @RawVisionMag @LaticsOfficial @WiganWarriorsRL @visitwigan @WiganCouncil @ThePortico @WiganMuseum @WigToday

Kevin Duffy was an eccentric who sculpted everything from a mini pub to a lion’s den to a Tudor village. But after his death, the future of this outsider artist’s work is in doubt

Whitsuntide, the week following Pentecost, was for centuries *the* season of the year for holiday-making and summer festivities - a time for fairs, plays, games, dancing and parades. Celebrate the lost holiday of Whitsun Week:
It's Whitsun, Pentecost, the summer festival when the Holy Spirit descends with fire. In this Anglo-Saxon image the flames touch the lips of each apostle, and even the sky has turned a fiery red. 'Tongues of fire they had, when with love they preached the glory of God' (Ælfric)

**Drumroll please** I'm so excited to announce that mine & @odavies9 book 'Folklore: A journey through the past & present' will be out this September! 'The book's key message is that folklore...is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political' https://t.co/6u5y4DotPR

Thoroughly enjoyed relinquishing control and trying out some surface rubbing techniques à la Max Ernst. Brilliantly led by @AnnaFCSmith. 1. Dark WWII motifs appear. 2. A forest 3. A mythical owl with sellotape head. 4. Galleon ships. 5. Moving landscape from a train.

In Somerset, a giant science experiment to tackle flooding began 10 years ago. Rather than trying to resist the sea, a large tract of land was surrendered to it. Lots of people were opposed. The local MP called it “an extravagant, ridiculous scheme”🧵
