Powerful story telling at its best by @clean_air_book. The stories of women in history are just as important but often overlooked. I loved hearing about their community and their tenacity. Not a dry eye in the house!
Such an amazing tale of tenacity, passion and people power! Jennie’s story reminds us that ordinary people can do great things. Thank you @clean_air_book for sharing your grandma!! Tears in the room right now 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love the playfulness of Lampounette a permanent installation for the @lumieredurham with @artichoketrust proud to have been involved!
We called it first - #Durham's next most photographed spot, right there! 📸📍
Paying homage to the iconic office desk lamp, but GIANT size. The permanent installation of Lampounette will transform this of corner of #Durham. And we love it!

Big milestone 😊
The Tyre Shop restoration #hswsunderland has been a battle. There is a huge sense of relief as we become watertight. The future looks bright.

If you are fortunate enough to have historic timber windows, do not get rid of them. Here’s why: hullworks.com/wood/ Valid for US and Europe.

If buildings could talk…..she would have some incredible stories to tell….
Lovely to be in @StMarysHeritage today for a quirky meeting about pubs, methodist churches, sign posts, redundant co-ops, air raid shelters, stone walls, iron age settlements...
We need to attract more people to this fabulous building.
