Reredos at St Marnarch Lanreath. #Cornwall dedicated in 1915. Designed by R.F. Wheatly. The centre panel is based on a cast by Desiderioda Settignano. Carved by Violet Pinwill. Memorial to Rev. John Buller Kitson. Pinwillsisters.org.uk

In 1890 there was a huge landslip on the north coast of Cornwall. This cliff fall was so dramatic, so catastrophic that it literally changed the face of the coastline and became known locally as ‘The Earthquake’.

Adam and Eve at St Botolph, Hardham

When I first saw these I thought they were painted on the wall, but they're actually painted on the back of glass panels.

🚨 Police have released an image of a suspect in their investigation into the homophobic stabbing of two men in Clapham.
They say “it is vital that we identify and locate him as soon as possible”
Please share.

I've spotted what I think is a new #ghostsign on the back of the building on the corner of Ferndale Road and Nursery Road in Brixton. I can only make out one word: 'Steam', but there is more.

In 1919 this was a David Greigs and in 1939 was Inzani & Leccacorvi, dining rooms.

One of my favourite places in #Cornwall . . . Do I always say that??😁
