In 1895, the first public women's football match was held at the base of Alexandra Palace (@Yourallypally) in London.
More than 11,000 fans travelled to watch the game between 'North' and 'South'. ⚽ #WomensFACup

For something slightly different here’s a pre-1904 stereo view of the Grand Menhir brisé (Men-er-Hroeck) in Locmariaquer (Morbihan) by Villard in Quimper. It uses a plate which I haven’t seen as a single view card but there might be one out there somewhere …..

There are many historic places in England that have been used as film locations. But today how could we not choose Greenham Common aka the Resistance Base in the Star Wars films VII and VIII?

We love this film. 🎥
It's a short history of Westgate Street in Gloucester, produced as part of our High Street Heritage Action Zone.
It includes the fascinating discoveries our architectural investigators have been making.
