Happy Spring Equinox/ astronomical spring!
Here’s a beautiful clockwork model of the Earth, Sun and Moon. It was made around 1888 in Sheffield by Benjamin Gorrill, who worked as a saw-piercer and silversmith.

Putting away some #Sheffield views that were on display in our Rivers exhibition- here's the Plan of Sheffield from an Actual Survey by Ralph Gosling, 1736. Lots of recognisable places, streets, path of the river Sheaf, gardens and orchards...

To start me off here! 🤓
This is for anyone who rediscovered their hot water bottle recently - no, not a rock-hard loaf of bread, but a foot warming brick! Probably about 120-150 years old, from one of the last back-to-back houses in Walkley, Sheffield.
