We absolutely love this photograph of a Shredded Wheat van from 1930! It shows the factory at Welwyn Garden City where it was produced until 2008 - lasting 73 years! Do you remember the smell that used to fill the air? #ExploreYourArchives #Travel #WGC100 @wgccentenary

A rather fine Anglo-Scandinavian (Viking settled in England) chape, to protect the end of a sword scabbard. One side shows the Christian Tree of Life, the other shows the Norse Yggdrasil. Perhaps they were hedging his bets about which religion to follow. #MuseumFromHome #hitchin

We often have photographs in our collection with very little information. This beautiful house is labelled “Piper’s Farm” and the picture dates to 16th May 1902. Our catalogue entry says it is in Caddington but can anyone provide any more information for us? #photography #history
