On 07 June 2020 #blacklivesmatter protesters in Bristol toppled the statue of the C17th slaver Edward #Colston.
#Colston became rich from the enslavement and brutal oppression of more than 84,000 black people.
No monuments to slavers should stand.

Something else I did in London… visited this exhibition Rooms Through Time. It’s a poignant recreation of a 1950s London-Irish experience in @museumofthehome. Created by @davidpkellyfilms #emigration

In the 1970s, every home in the UK had that garden parasol and matching garden furniture.
As seen at the @MuseumoftheHome
(yes, even flats and bedsits, nowhere was safe from the dominance of the brown floral print garden parasol)

Rebecca Solomon died #OTD 1886. Interesting life as well as some fascinating genre painting focusing on women, outsiders and class in Victorian Britain. She's getting some recognition, finally, esp championed by London's #MuseumoftheHome Find out more: cmillerartlife.blogspot.com/2022/11/rebe...

Looking back at a shoot I was lucky enough to do a couple of years ago @museumofthehome
All the rooms were decorated for Christmas in historically appropriate style. The regency room being particularly understated, included only a few sprigs of fir and a very grand cake
