I know flowers alone aren't the answer to creating vibrant #highstreets - but blimey, when they're as gorgeous as these ones in #Durham city centre today, it certainly can't do any harm in helping make a place feel attractive and cared for. Whether you're a business looking to…

Cleethorpes back on the cultural map! I love seeing festivals and indie food breathe new life into our historic seaside towns—feels like the coast is having a real renaissance.

In praise of seaside B&Bs and guest houses. A great example of a row of well preserved Victorian houses, in Llandudno, that are now B&Bs or guest houses There is something homely and traditional about them that hotels never replicate. @seaside_network @HistoricEngland #Wales
Shown below, courtesy of @Kentishtrivia, is Detective Inspector Edmund Reid who lived at Hampton-on-Sea from 1903 until coastal erosion forced him to move in 1916. He was head of the Criminal Investigation Department in the @metpoliceuk at the time of the Whitechapel murders.
No idea where he was married, but I believe he ran a pub in Herne for a year or so, before opening the Hampton-on-Sea Hotel selling postcards and refreshments.
The #BritishSeaside explained for our friends across the pond by @suyinsays Loads of great photos too, including this one from my new book cnn.com/2025/07/22/sty…
Blackpool’s seafront is lined with promenade shelters, most of which have stood for more than 100 years. 🌅 These rare Edwardian cast-iron shelters retain much of their original design. 6 were relocated in 2005, while others remain on the North Promenade.
A small space, filled to the brim with interest! Soane’s Little Study, depicted in this 1822 watercolour by Gandy, was a very personal space, where Soane would have worked on architectural designs, preparing for meetings with contractors & students. But what is on display?⤵️
Incredibly frustrating to see this playing out at Smithfield. Yet again art/culture slips off the planning agenda. We have the chance to be Birmingham’s Bilbao and a gallery of national importance could transform the city. When will we learn? birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
We had a fantastic time (ahem) in Liverpool, exploring some of the city's best buildings & hearing about #SAVEcampaigns over the last 50yrs, from the Lyceum to Albert Dock and the Welsh Streets Thx to everyone who joined us - and 👏 to our expert guide Jonathan Brown #SAVEis50
Recommended #summerreading ⛱️😎 If you're going to the #BritishSeaside my new book tells the history of the buildings you'll find along the seafront. Get the book, buy yourself an ice cream and indulge in all the picture postcard illustrations 🍦 shop.c20society.org.uk/products/pre-o…
