Various seed mixes add patches of different colour & height. #Superbloom
Particularly loved the areas where small mounds added wave-like height & relief. #Superbloom
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

Good morning from the Albert Dock in Liverpool where I’m attending the @dannyinsteam Maritime Heritage Maritime Futures youth engagement event with @henryseasteam56
Hearing from @dannyinsteam following 1st yr of @HeritageFundUK programme on youth engagement. The Danny was at risk of being broken up & has been restored & used as part of a youth skills & training programme. Supporting confidence & community. Pride & interest generated.
“There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed…” an exceptionally moving blue plaque unveiling this morning for #GeorgeHarrison at his birthplace, with a speech from his wife Olivia. A once in a lifetime privilege. Well done @HistoricEngland Thread🧵👇
We began with a special tour of places associated with #GeorgeHarrison & The Beatles. There’s the pub associated with Ringo, John’s house (under renovation by @nationaltrust) & Paul’s house. Great to spend time with @Conservators_UK Emma, @Ecclesiastical Laura & @bernarddonoghue
Good morning from our @Heritage_NGOs member @DelapreAbbey who are hosting @archaeologyuk & @HistoricEngland #WellbeingandHeritage Conference. Follow along here for a few reflections on the day. Looking forward to hearing from lots of our members today throughout the programme.
Following intros from @DelapreAbbey CEO Richard Clinton & @HistoricEngland Linda Monckton we are hearing from @RedfernNeil on how we need to embed this into what our orgs do in the future. 80+ contributions. So much interest. Think about what we need to help our work thrive?
A real treat to visit @EastnorCastle today on a joint @Heritage_NGOs @Historic_Houses trip - huge thanks to James & the family for welcoming us & showing us round this extraordinary site. Come & have a look round… 👇
As the founder of the Heritage Fuels Alliance, a @Heritage_NGOs member, James has a couple of traction engines (early lorries). We chatted about issues with coal supplies for the tiny amount needed to keep these heritage vehicles running. The last mine in Wales is closing.
As a teen James started to restore a mill on the estate. With support from Defra & Natural England Funding around 2010 the workings were able to be restored & the mill is now beginning to be used to produce heritage flour. We met a farmer who brings grain to be milled.
Good morning from the @SocAntiquaries for the 50th anniversary of Protecting Wrecks with @InstituteArch @HistoricEngland @PlymUni @MSDSMarine - we are joined by @DCMS Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson
Lord Parkinson talks about the density of wrecks off our coast as an important part of our heritage & growing up fascinated by maritime stories in the North East. The 1973 Act alongside other designation options remains v important. Came from a PMB & now 57 wreck designations.
Christopher Dobbs talks to us about 45 years of wreck diving #POW50 & the human stories behind what is found. Mary Rose excavation included 500 divers. Sometimes threats are unexpected to wreck sites.
Our Chair Ingrid Samuel kicks off #HeritageDebate2023 posing the questions around heritage careers - what are the challenges & what do we do well? We want to hear about both. We have a great panel covering a range of angles.
We are taking a look at some of the great advice from the many letters that came in from heritage professionals to support debate theheritagealliance.org.uk/heritagedebate…
