The sigh of relief upon completion of this Bronze-Age beaker, with decoration requiring around 2400 individual tool impressions. #Archaeology 🏺The burnishing on the surface is just the result of turning it round in my hands while decorating it.

Archaeology often challenges assumptions about listed buildings. This Leicestershire house was thought to be 17th century until a survey revealed evidence that it was mediaeval.

I have a soft spot for the architecture of Stockport. This is the Market Hall, designed and built in cast iron by the ironfounder James Heywood Jr. of Derby in 1861. St Mary's overlooks the marketplace and has a mediaeval chancel but is mostly a rebuild of 1813-17 by Lewis Wyatt.
