Today, we have been cataloguing 'The Daisy No.2 Sweeper', vacuum cleaner about 1914.
It wouldn’t have been out of place in Downton Abbey. Perhaps Daisy, the maid would have used a ‘Daisy’ vacuum cleaner?
It's from one of our School Loans box H173 #FridayFinds Museum Object number: 2008.148.1

Have you ever tasted medlar fruits? They are ancient sweet tasting fruits, that need to soften before eating. Not as popular nowadays, they were brought to Britain by the Romans.
This medlar fruit stone was discovered at the Roman town near Silchester. 1934.114.3.586 Reading Museum
