A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.
Legal protection for heritage trees needed.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

First World War Christmas, number 15. This ‘Christmas Number’ of one of the popular illustrated magazines presents a rosy image of life ‘in the trenches’ in 1914. Though probably designed to reassure its readers, the presence of the ubiquitous ‘pud’ in the frontline was not actually exaggerated.

The Hadrianic period Roman fort sits on a spur of rock high above the Eskdale valley on the western side of the #LakeDistrict alongside the #Hardknott pass. The single track road can be driven today but is not for the faint hearted. This remote fort had a bath house and parade ground

A periodic appeal for a photograph of the entrance to Gordon Dump Cemetery as it was designed & built. The (pretty awful) entrance was built circa 1953.

Blauwerpoort Farm #CWGC Cemetery, near #Ypres.
At least 14 of the 91 burials here are 1915 men from 1st Bn, Norfolk Regiment.
The cemetery was begun by a French battalion of Chasseurs Alpins in November 1914, but the French graves were removed after the Armistice.

12:26pm, 25th Nov 1944. A V-2 rocket scored a direct hit on the busy Woolworths store in New Cross, south London, destroying it and much of the Co-Operative building next door. Amid horrific scenes, 168 people were killed and 123 injured, the worst single incident of the V-2 campaign against Britain
