On #June1st #InternationalChildrensDay
we remember the children of #Lidice, and countless others prior and since, who've been victims of atrocities

On 3 June 1942 a love letter was handed to the #Gestapo which would have devastating consequences for the Czech people.
It gave #KarlFrank an excuse to create a narrative linking the village of #Lidice to the murder of #Heydrich

Construction work on the #Lidice Rose Garden started on 14th March 1955. Brainchild of Stoke-on-Trent MP, Dr #BarnettStross, leader of the #LidiceShallLive movement, it was inaugurated on 19th June in the presence of a massive crowd @SoTCityCouncil @LidiceLives @UKinCR @UKandEU โ at Stoke-on-Trent, England

Burnham Street: resident estimates 15-20 lorries a day. Street seems to be sinking with the weight of onslaught. Mucky brown river of silt runs from the closed up entrance of Potteries Demolition down onto King Street, then along till it disappears into a drain @SoTCityCouncil โ at Stoke-on-Trent, England

Great to see the daffodils by King Ford in Fenton East coming up. More to come. @alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard โ at Stoke-on-Trent, England

Quietly optimistic about the response to an enquiry regarding expanding Fenton's Christmas lights more extensively across its 3 main thoroughfares - City Road, Victoria Road & King Street, making #Fenton feel like #onetown again. @alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard @FentonGlennLP โ at Stoke-on-Trent, England
The Boundary Works, built by Jacob Marsh (a potter of Toby jugs) in 1819, looks incredibly precarious.
If the city isn't watchful it's going to have yet another heritage disaster on its hands... @SoTCityCouncil @AbiBrown1 @Progthrust1 @fslconsult @alanjgerrard @KeithBrymer

The former hq of the Sentinel. How can such a significant building in Stoke-on-Trent's history be allowed to get into such a state? There's even a tree growing out of the roof.
I worked there in the 80s when sales of the paper were over 125,000 a day.

Missing my old mucka Sid today. It's been 5 years since the artist, famous for his deceptively evocative watercolour landscapes of mid C20th industrial Britain, left us, and he remains sorely missed by so many out there, at home & abroad.@ArtKirkham @TheartbayG @cheryl_gerrard โ at Yaiza, Spain
What a fantastic photo shared by Alan Amison. Looks like Crown Bank, Hanley c1930? Cappers would become George Mason's grocers, shop was rebuilt circa 1960. Views?
The old Goodwood furniture shop, Commerce Street Longton c 1950. The shop is now a take away. Photo unknown.
On 2nd January 1942, the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, Harry McBrine, opened a fund for the relief of the dependents of those who lost their lives in the Sneyd Colliery Disaster, the day before. Sneyd Collieries Ltd opened the fund with a contribution of ยฃ5000 @LidiceLives
