St Nick would have been visiting this #chimney from about 1780 onward! This is the Charles E Ives Birthplace in its original location on Main Street here in Danbury. With the bit of snow and bare trees, the photo looks to have been taken on a wintry day like today! #ArchiveAdventCalendar

And then for today's #ArchiveAdvent - A Norweb 'Cook Electric' advert, which I can only assume is responsible for my mum thinking its okay to 'poach' fish in the microwave (it isn't, she's a vandal).

Our gift today is a Robin, taken from a beautiful Victorian scrapbook that we hold.
"Pretty bird! How beautifully dost thou sit and sing" wrote Bishop Joseph Hall in his 'Meditation on a Robin Red-breast' singing at his window.
