Good to join @atwjackson & @TomOleary72 & colleagues @nationaltrust @Buzz_dont_tweet @HistEnvForum @f_ben87 to hear about #Superbloom at @HRP_palaces @TowerOfLondon - a new park for London & an appropriate, ecologically friendly & beautiful moat for our times. More pics 👇 ImageImageImageImage
Loving the colour mixes & the sculptures. There’s also a slide & soundscape. @TowerOfLondon ImageImageImageImage
One for #Frockingfabulous - the Queen’s garden for the #PlatinumJubilee was designed based on the Queen’s coronation dress. #Superbloom ImageImageImage
Various seed mixes add patches of different colour & height. #Superbloom ImageImageImageImage
Particularly loved the areas where small mounds added wave-like height & relief. #Superbloom ImageImageImageImage
A final visit also with the wonderful @f_ben87 who leaves @HistEnvForum this week - certainly a metaphor for the legacy she leaves with the team of a transformed new model forum. We will miss you Fran. #Superbloom @TowerOfLondon ImageImageImage

Good morning from an exciting day ahead celebrating architectural heritage from 1975 to 2025 & ahead to 2075. Hosted by @HTF_ @Historic_Houses @SAVEtoReuse with @ArchHFund Europa Nostra UK @KingsFdn & @Heritage_NGOs - our morning kicks off with Dan Cruickshank. 🧵 Image
Dan says 1975 was an astonishing year for conservation. Council of Europe statement & @SAVEtoReuse report on state of architecture. There were student led riots demonstrating against politics & the established order, big business, big development. General strike. Age of protest. Image
People mobilised around things they believed was right. This included buildings & places. Public support crucial in unlocking change. Battle to save Covent Garden. Both market & the working communities. Protests on streets. Success. Buildings are able to adapt. Look at it now. Image

Our keynote, shadow Heritage Minister, Lord Parkinson reflects on the need for more sense of history in decision-making. The departure to America of the Blue Boy in the 20s led to public emotion & 90k visitors to its farewell - there was a need to tackle the issue: Waverley Image
Part of the challenge - acquisition budgets to save items for the nation. Inventive thinking including recent sharing of a Reynolds will be needed in the future. bbc.com/news/entertain…

Out and about today for @Heritage_NGOs in Bath & Bristol. Our first stop of the day - @FairfieldHouse_ home to Emperor Haile Selassie I & now a lively, sacred & historic place of importance for many communities including Ethiopians, Rastafari & Bath residents. 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
We chatted to a local charity group who work at Fairfield each fortnight, sewing bags to sell for good causes. A great example of heritage hosting creativity & wellbeing activities. Also on site is the Windrush Centre with an exhibition of community donated items. Image
Image
Image
Image
So many fascinating connections from WW2 to Selassie to Pankhurst. @FairfieldHouse_ is gradually amassing collections including Selassie’s pianola Image
