June 6 - the birthday of John Trumbull (1756-1843)- an American artist of the early #independence period, notable for his #historical paintings of the #American Revolutionary War, of which he was a veteran. Trumbull's Declaration of Independence (1817), one of his four paintings that hang in the United States Capitol rotunda, is used on the reverse of the current United States two-dollar bill.

Durham's stunning Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens is well worth a visit at this time of the year, especially as the gardens burst into a riot of rhododendron blooms.
The former Catholic seminary is now a heritage and cultural tourist attraction, known for its Georgian and Victorian Gothic architecture and listed nineteenth-century chapels.

The Grade I listed Prebends Bridge, built at the request of the then Dean of Durham Cathedral for the private use of the Dean and Chapter to gain access across the River Wear to the cathedral via the Water Gate at the South Bailey.
It was designed by George Nicholson with building work completed in 1778.
It replaced an earlier wooden bridge that crossed the river just a few metres further upstream.

As a teenager, I spent a summer working at Lincoln Log Cabin State #Historic Site. I've since returned there from time to time to revisit the places where I worked with animals and helped maintain things the "old fashioned way" in the blazing summer heat. It's nice to see this place is still maintained and open to the public.

Tomorrow, all being well, I shall be #routemaking along a number of potential off-road routes between #Ashbourne and #Ilam in #Derbyshire to see which one I prefer to include as the best walking path for my #GrandTourOfDerbyshire. (Derbyshire-ish - I will wander into neighbouring counties to pick up the good bits whenever I'm near)
And yes, I know #SlowWays are "already doing this", but they're not. SlowWays goes from #town centre to town centre as a walking alternative to conventional travel. My routes go along the spaces between towns, and avoid going through towns as much as possible, creating unique (or rediscovering #historic) #greenways that cross the #British #countryside linking places of interest to me without relying on road or town networks.
It's an interesting exercise, and it took me a while to get my head around it. We tend to think in terms of town to town when travelling, but there's no need when #walking.
Definitely coming into peak daffodil season across North East England just now and with sunshine featuring in the forecast in the coming days, hopefully they'll help brighten up the new season even further.

Mind-blowing to think these ‘cup and ring marks’ were created by people between 6000 and 3500 years ago.
A form of prehistoric art found across the Atlantic seaboard of Europe, but similar features have been found in many other places such as Australia, the Americas and Pacific Islands.
These stones are incredibly hard and so you have to really admire the effort that must have been applied to create the designs.
Spring is in the air (from 21.42 GMT today to be exact).
Good to see daffodils flowering just about everywhere, like theses at the romantic ruins of Gisborough Priory, North Yorkshire, Founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by Robert de Brus, the priory went on to become one of the richest monastic foundations in England until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540.
The property is in the care of English Heritage.

Just a few miles downstream from the historic city of Durham, the romantic ruins of Finchale Priory.
The priory is associated with St Godric, who lived on the site as a hermit from 1112. The actual Benedictine Priory was established some years later in 1196. The remains are today in the care of English Heritage.
It's such a beautiful spot, even on an overcast day like today.

Heeelllppp this came with my Uncles new house. There are #furniture pieces that stay with the house no matter who owns it. It's in a nationally registered #historic town.
Anyone know for sure what model this is? The needle needs replaced and I'd like to surprise him with a new one. But the internet is a large mysterious place 😂 #Antique #Music #Phonograph

Since Brasília has been in the spot lately, I felt like sharing some of my favorite photos of it, taken by Marcel Gautherot during construction of the city in 1959 and 1960, during more hopeful times. #photography #photojournalism #architecture #historic #brasilia
Apropos of @AbandonedAmerica podcast on abandoned #churches (PT; I look forward), there is an organization in the UK devoted to the issue:
Over the centuries, churches have fallen out of use for many reasons.But we believe that these buildings represent the spiritual & artistic investment of generations, that they belong to all of us, & should be preserved for the future. We currently care for 60 places of worship in England & Wales

Here’s my #introduction to what I hope will be a place to lust over — or plot revolutions over — luxury #homes and share everything from strange floor plans, wild #housing policies and #urbanplanning, #historic buildings, #TV and #movie set locations and more to do with housing and living
My job occupies a historic jail, so I'm interested in prison architecture. I got a chance today to get pictures of the RI Maximum Security Prison, which put my little county jail out of business in 1957.
The architecture is very forceful, reflecting the 19thc belief in the power of institutional reform.
Interestingly, I was not interrupted while photographing.

Time for another train post.
In 2017 I revisited Porthmadog, Wales, a small town with three (!) railway stations: the mainline one, and two belonging to tourist railway companies.
The most notable is Porthmadog Harbour Station, home to the Ffestiniog Railway, the world’s oldest continuous railway company - it’s been in existence since the 1830s.
In addition to the Ffestiniog trains which head into the mountains of Snowdonia, the company also runs the Welsh Highland Railway, a route pieced together from former narrow-gauge railways. @NarrelleMHarris and I jumped aboard on a sunny September day to enjoy a ride through the Welsh countryside to imposing Caernarfon Castle and back. Great day out.

America has a powerful way to reduce #ChildPoverty & the pandemic's large-scale social experiments proved it: Expanding the #ChildTaxCredit (an advance of approx $300/month) in 2021 was the lead reason US child #poverty reached #HISTORIC lows that year.
It expired in 2021 & #Dems are fighting to save it but the #GOP has made it clear they want business #TaxCuts only, no talk of the CTC.
This is what happens when you demonize the poor.
Want to reference #historic #science diagrams instead for that 19th-century aesthetic? Nicholas Rougeux put together an interactive collage of Sowerby's #mineralogy that allows you to scroll through and interact with old-school #mineral specimens.

Sowerby's been in the grave for a hot minute, so this is solidly in the public domain.
Greetings, #Histodons, friends, & sundry.

@alfiegoodrich Love it @alfiegoodrich - that pop of yellow road paint just adds a nice finishing touch. Wonder if it would've worked with a Ford Fiesta instead of a supercar? 😂
Here's my yellow car offering then, a Trabant by one of the remaining stretches of the Berlin wall, two icons of that remarkable city
