3 times a week I'm in the borough of Tower Hamlets in London, & visit one of their Idea Stores. Each includes a library & much more. They're magical places. If you're nearby, try one.

PS I'm currently sitting by a big heap of their books

Instant classic loaned this from WatneyMarket #ideastore. Includes (very piss-takey) chapters devoted to 'Chat Show Vampires' (ie, the #does_a_wankyre_walk_in_highgate hoax blokes) and the Whitechapel Anarchists vs the Jack the Ripper museum & Cereal Killers. Also Crowley, Machen, loads more.

Thank you staff at #ideastore, #watney_market, E1. Love the note. (please hurry up & open a bluesky account!)
Maria Marten, or the Murder in the Red Barn (John Lane, the Bodley Head, 1943), introduced & edited by Montagu Slater. Charming cover illustration depicts the dastardly Corder shooting dead his lover. Handwritten note from staff member reads: "Take care of this - it's from 1944!!!! Amazing!!!" Rest assured, I will.

Latest library loans, both terrific. Thanks, as ever, to staff at #WatneyMarket #ideastore WHO OUGHT TO HAVE A BLUESKY ACCOUNT. 🖤

Bing is not happy with #TowerHamlets' Bow #IdeaStore WiFi right now. It's ok using Safari but not Ecosia or Edge. Turned the WiFi connection off and it's now all hunky dory.

Their WiFi is weird. Or is it?

New #library_loan (thanks to staff at Watney Market #ideastore). Mike Hall, Lost Railways of Middlesex, 2003. Particularly liked chapter on the 'Hotelier's line' Stanmorevillage-BelmontHalt-Harrow&Wealdstone. Evocative photo's, though, sadly, ghost free.
Mike Hall, Lost Railways of London. Colour cover painting by Colin Doggett depicts a Directors Class Locomotive arriving at station unspecified. Advertisement for Pears Soap on fence. Final train arrives at Belmont Halt in 1964. 'The Belmont Rattler' was a notorious passion wagon in its day if local historian R. S. Brown is to be believed. Nearby roundabout haunted by either the Belmont ghost, the Belmont flasher, neither or both. #HauntedBenchProject. Only the really important local history for us. Shoreditch Station around the back of Brick Lane shortly before its closure in the 00s. Became a club/ rave joint for a bit, but seems to be shut just now.

.... As you're aware, when the ideastore opened, the grand old library building was absorbed into Whitechapel Art Gallery - which, for me, is at least infinitely preferable to having it converted into "affordable" luxury flats.
