Fascinating how a whole field of ‘industrial archaeology’ was invented in postwar Britain as a popular reaction against the wilful destruction of the country’s industrial heritage (the book is from 1975)

Interesting map of industrial production in EU states in 2023 vs 2015 benchmark. A decade of industrial stagnation for major western European states while (most of) east-central and northern Europe grows. And Poland booms!

Every obscure 19th century academic has the most insane 'Early Life' section on Wikipedia

Just randomly stumbled across this in an article written in 1935! The author (an American linguist) was born in 1868 so not really surprising, but still quite amusing.

Europe's last Latinate kingdom was laid to rest in 1844, in a world of railways, steam engines, and revolutionary new ideas, things not usually associated with the long-dead Roman tongue. Me for @EngelsbergIdeas on the strange fate of the Regnum Marianum.
