Nice project for someone here - 36 acres in the Lakes, £795k - a site in need of a saviour. @SAVEBrit
Hearing about the work on heritage at risk in Somerset West & Taunton. Interesting to hear that the Wellington Monument, removed from the at risk list last year, is the world’s largest 3 sided obelisk. @SAVEBrit
Great points being made here about the truly catastrophic carbon impact of the demolition rather than repair of industrial & other buildings at risk. Reuse is the way forward for the environment as well as heritage. @SAVEBrit

Elizabeth Frood talks about the colourisation process of Tutankhamun in Colour & creation myths flagged by @photograph_tut in retellings of the discovery. Nothing surpasses an encounter with the objects themselves - & there are so many stories we will explore today #PerformingTut
Next @RichardParkins5 talks about @bodleianlibs#ExcavatingtheArchive exhibition - moving beyond imperial nostalgia & the ‘Downton Abbey’ popular gold approach. Looking at the archives. Shifting the paradigm from treasure to a much more complex historical process. #PerformingTut
