Appleby Castle
https://justin-farrimond.pixels.com/featured/appleby-castle-justin-farrimond.html
The beautiful Appleby Castle in Cumbria, Northern England. During the 12th century King Arthur stayed here before defeating some French people in Torquay. It's said that when lightning hit the castle on July 20th 1969, disrupting the wedding of Billy Bremner to a horse, that it was a meteorological issue and unrelated to the moon landing.

Gujar's #expertise is in #shisha embroidery, also known as #MirrorWork . This #ancient #technique was originally the domain of poor #artisans who mimicked the bejewelled fashions of the wealthy.

A quotation from Tolkien, J.R.R.:
«««««
I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects.

Bien évidemment il faut abolir l' #héritage, ou au moins le taxer à 90%, c'est l'une des plus importante source d'inégalité. Déjà que les rejetons des classes aisées ont bénéficié des meilleures conditions d'éducation (héritage éducatif).

The conservation of religious heritage still in use poses a number of very complex problems: "Conservation of Living Religious Heritage" (Nicholas Stanley-Price Robert Killick Herb Stovel, 2003).

"Sometimes the conservator’s instincts (to preserve material fabric and to minimize change) run counter to the religious community’s interest in continuity and renewal. The traditional desire of resident
monks to renew painted surfaces can sometimes conflict with official conservation policy, as has happened at the World Heritage site of Dambulla in Sri Lanka. At Anthony Island on Canada’s West Coast, also a World Heritage site and home to the last surviving in situ cluster of Haida Indian totem poles, the choice of ‘continuity’ as the primary conservation goal has meant allowing poles to decay, while resisting calls from conservators to have them removed to museum environments".

The relationship between false memories, the construction of historical narratives and the creation of heritage (among other topics) has been studied by Lowenthal in his fascinating "The Past is a Foreign Country".
"National efforts to fashion praiseworthy pasts resembled individual needs to construct viable life histories".
"And the fictional past has another advantage: because it is contrived, it must make sense. Contrariwise, history must in part baffle".
"Everyone revises the past to make it theirs. Retooling the past to our needs and desires, we merge into it, conform it with ourselves, and ourselves with it, matching our self-images and aspirations".

A few very well-known views from the approach to the castle and surrounding cliffs.

The house was purchased by Motamedi #family & recently opened to visitors after several years of reconstruction.
A popular #tourism attraction, it’s registered as a #national #heritage site

A misty afternoon at Dunnottar Castle on the Aberdeenshire coast just south of Stonehaven.
There's been something here since the Early Middle Ages, apparently:

Why every single statue should come down (Gary Younge 2017).
"Statues are symbols of reverence; they are not symbols of history. They elevate an individual from a historical moment and celebrate them. As such, it represented a sanitised, partial and selective version of history, based less in fact than toxic nostalgia and melancholia. It’s not history that these statues’ protectors are defending: it’s mythology".

Another petition. But the grand Victorian Liverpool Street Station needs saving from insensitive development that will ruin its heritage. Petition 3000+ short of 15000 target.
Tradition? 🤔
"Spain bans decades-long tradition of ‘dwarf bullfighting"
"Dwarves in Spain have long dressed as firefighters or clowns to chase bulls without killing them, at public spectacles designed to be humorous. The tradition stretches back decades, but has declined in popularity".

“ ’the names of places’ presents a research-based mapping of Aboriginal massacre sites across the country. A significant aspect of the project is an invitation to the Australian public to contribute their own knowledge of any such massacres, to be incorporated into a database and website that form part of the evolving project. ‘the names of places’ creates a space where anybody can contribute their knowledge of massacres of Aboriginal people in #Australia, so that the places, names and details of such events can become part of our collective consciousness…”

I'm a former National Park Service person - part of their climate change team - so want to add a note to this map and a caution about what it shows:
There are currently 423 units of the national park system. All of these are national parks. The units with the designation National Park (the 59 or so shown on this map) are by and large a function of history. "National Park" was used for units set up in the early history of the NPS, which is when many of the large parks known for their scenery were set up. Congress began to diversify national park designations - National Seashore, National Recreation Area, National Historical Site, etc. - in the mid-20th century. These aren't any less national parks, they just have more descriptive names.
Why recognizing this matters - the 423 units of the national park system cover many aspects of US history - and include many that are trying bring more balance and equity to national-scale stories - ex. Stonewall National Monument, Cesar Chavez National Monument, Rosie the Riveter National Historical Site. But none of these are named National Park. So when maps that show only National Parks are made and shared, they are cutting out major parts of US heritage that are also protected and important to see.
Thanks for the space to share this!

Dr. Kisha Supernant, who has become known for ground-penetrating radar work at the unmarked burial sites attached to former Indian residential schools, is a recipient of a 2023 Dorothy Killam Fellowship.
With the dedicated funding over the next two years, Supernant will work toward an important shift in the relationship between archaeology, Indigenous peoples, and cultural heritage management.
@Cherteapet @AbandonedAmerica Actually, for once the story has a happy ending! I tentatively clicked on Matthew's blog post, expecting the usual heartbreak, but it's slated to be refurbished! The project is behind schedule, but they've gotten some funding ($2 million... $58 million to go) and it even has a website (so that means it will succeed, right?). #preservation #urbanrenewal #heritage #supportthearts

I recommend reading this 1983 Cato/Heritage document, "Achieving a Leninist Strategy"
https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/cato-journal/1983/11/cj3n2-11.pdf
It outlines how to privatize Social Security (convince the public it is "going broke") but I see it as a basis for their entire attack on democracy. Convince the public democratic government doesn't work.
You see this strategy everywhere. The Palestine train derailment is a great example.

"Some experts have claimed that the law would make it so that government-appointed boards will ultimately be the ones operating these museums. For years, it has been archaeologists who have ran these institutions; now, these experts claim, the boards may no longer have to include experts in the field."

🏴 The Conwy Railway Bridge, in Welsh known as Pont Rheilffordd Conwy, and Conwy Castle (Castell Conwy) in Wales - a vintage photochrom print from the 1890s.
The bridge was designed by Robert Stephenson and opened in 1849. It's still in use and protected as Welsh heritage.

One innovative aspect of the #Architectural Ghosts exhibition--considered in the light of both general curatorial policy about the handling of original objects and questions about uniqueness, authenticity, and destruction or repatriation of #cultural #heritage, was the display of #3D-printed copies of some exhibition objects, with an invitation to visitors to touch, draw, comment, and reflect.

Just when you were thinking it was all going to be standing stones, this pic is of Dun Carloway, Isle of Lewis.
A distinctive form of dwelling from around 2000 yrs ago, found predominantly in northern Scotland, with an amazing architecture with double skin walls holding stone staircases.

St Mary’s Guildhall in Coventry. Augmented reality on a tablet let’s you see the newly discovered Medieval kitchens come alive (the finest example in the country apparently.) Both the intact medieval hall and its huge tapestry, made in 1510, were breathtaking! I adored this place- it’s so evocative. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here and Henry VI moved his court here for 4 years- effectively making Coventry the capital city. ❤️ Loved the marks etched on the walls to add protection from those pesky witches 🧙#history #heritage

🇩🇪 Stachus in Munich (also known as Minga or München) - a vintage photochrom print from the 1890s. Digitally enhanced to compensate for fading.
The official name of Stachus is Karlsplatz (Charles Square), but locals rarely use that name, as it refers to the unpopular Elector of Bavaria, Charles Theodore.
The square looks different nowadays...

I was intrigued by the headline of this article - but it is full of lazy assertions, and ended up with a totally different conclusion - that the headquarters of the moribund #GreatBritishRailways concept could 'save' #Doncaster, not #tourism.
This is a shame because Doncaster could still genuinely be a pleasant place that could attract visitors with a proper action plan for its #heritage.
30 or so high-level execs in the rail industry will not.
