Here's the story of the Shrewsbury man who grew up in the house below, and was involved in Britian's deadliest airship crash. I wrote it up for the final printed edition of the My Shrewsbury magazine - here it is in digital form. view.publitas.com/my-shrewsbury-…

I listened to this last night. It was absolutely fascinating. The painting of the Minotaur below gives me the chills.

I loved blathering on about The #Minotaur on @HistoryHit's #TheAncients podcast. Here are some illustrations to go with it, including one by the amazing @flaroh who illustrated our new book #Pantheon! #Watts #Pasiphae #ToddlerMinotaur #Titane #Hybrids podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Charles Dickens came to Shrewsbury to read A Christmas Carol. It was cracking performace according this this account. Shame the venue wasn't up to scratch. The Music Hall @shrewsmuseum was described as a "wretched place" Shrewsbury Chronicle - Friday 13 August 1858. @BNArchive

The hat-trick hero! 🌟 Luis Diaz speaks to @alexaljoe after a sublime display in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Leverkusen 🗣️🇨🇴 #UCLonPrime


This was absolutely brilliant from @alexaljoe

What an impressive piece of interviewing this is from @alexaljoe To have the poise to speak in two languages simultaneously, remembering the answers and translating for the audience at home, all when live on camera is remarkable.



Did you know windscreen wipers only became compulsory on all cars in 1972? @nosuchthing @BNArchive Belfast Telegraph - Friday 29 September 1972

I'm shattered. I've done 54 of 100+ tour dates. Its taking a toll as the autumn run starts & stops. Going home is great but takes more effort to go back out every time. It would REALLY help if you could give me a support boost by coming to a gig: …iskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/mythbustingtou…

Henry Tudor Inn, Shrewsbury (formerly Trotting Horse & Lion Tap). With the earliest parts of this purpose-built inn dating to 1426 & 1430-31 this has a genuine and verifiable claim to be one of the oldest pubs in the country. Many others make such claims but few can back them up!

This is fun. At full council last month one of the junior architects on the original Shirehall design team in 1964 (into his 80’s now!) sidled over for a chat, he’d brought some original sketches and a bunch of info with him on the building. Will be tracking him down next week…

“Nothing is the same, everything is changed.” Florence Pannel, born in 1868, interviewed in 1977. What an incredible accent.


Looking like a rough couple of days here in Shrewsbury according to the BBC Weather app. Getting better at the weekend apparently.
