No prizes for guessing where this week's #ThrowbackThursday pic is - it's the junction of London Rd and Store St near Piccadilly, with a Crosville bus starting a journey to Macclesfield. Check out the tram tracks! The photographer couldn't have dreamed there'd one day be trams running here again.

We've passed the autumn equinox so I reckon that means it's YORKSHIRE PARKIN SEASON. Here's my recipe from all the way back in 2011 😲 britishfoodhistory.com/2011/11/04/y...
Yorkshire Parkin
God, I love Yorkshire parkin. If you are not familiar with it, it’s a strongly-spiced sticky gingerbread-cum-cake flavoured with treacle and dark brown sugar that is traditionally eaten …

Amazing TV, but I advise considerable caution if you are going to watch this for the first time.
Adrian Littlejohn@yorksfella59.bsky.social · 3w agoI just missed the anniversary... 42 years ago yesterday one of the most bleakly unsettling pieces of television I ever saw was first broadcast - the first time I saw @reecedinsdale.bsky.social at work. The whole programme is available on YouTube. This is the trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=4v0l...
Hello Holyhead! Croeso i Gymru Now just the A55, M56, M60, M67 and A57 to navigate home again
Dublin behind us, Holyhead somewhere out front On the way back home from a lovely couple of weeks in Ireland
The land withers. Autumn is told in both the fading scars of drought and the gathering mud. Hooklanders call this blurred border of days harbrim. A time whenthey know that mists are coming to eat certainty and monsters feast to fatten ahead of hibernation. – #DAKilroy, 1982
Short boat ride over the harbour to Sherkin Island - Inis Arcáin Nice walk to Horseshoe Harbour anc then along towards the south of the island. Found a very interesting art exhibition all based around geolocated old names for places and older residents memories of them
No money in Holy Well, probably trying to discourage much else as well
At the 1896 Olympics they had a 12-hour track race. The winner took a lap in the first ten minutes and then sat on for the rest of the day. Think about that next time you're watching an allegedly boring bike race.

In re-enchantment we stop dreaming of inevitable apocalypse and find the permissive space to tell stories of hope.
Got the radio on and keep hearing on the news how "AI" companies want to slow up because it could be dangerous. No suggestion, of course, that they're just saying this to distract from their complete failure to produce something that actually makes money, despite all the hype, theft and money spent.
With a meal in the Algiers Inn in Baltimore this evening, that's all the pubs of this little costal village visited now in this trip. We'll probably go round the corner to our favourite, Bushes bar in a little while. A lovely place to visit if you ever get the chance
Some debate about whether this could indeed have been a tank engine as in "toot toot", rather than "make gun go forward". Well...
RN ship losses@rnshiplosses.bsky.social · last mo.9 Sept 1943 // HM Drifter Noss Head became a total loss while alongside at Freetown, Sierra Leone, after a tank engine broke loose while being lowered into her hold and went right through her bottom. She flooded uncontrollably through the resulting large hole, and sank. #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory
