Good news! 🙌 This rare Neolithic long cairn on Dudderhouse Hill in the Yorkshire Dales National Park has been granted Scheduled Monument status. The site offers valuable insight into the lives, deaths and beliefs of England's first farming communities.

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.

Welcome to The Swan, a stunning 17th-century pub in Suffolk where old meets new. 🦢 Following its recent restoration, it won the Historic England Conservation Award at this year's @CAMRA_Official Pub Design Awards. Cheers to this hidden gem! 🍻

This photograph shows the 16th-century timber-framed Old Dick Whittington public house at 24 Cloth Fair. It became a beerhouse in 1848, although later claimed to be the oldest licensed premises in London. The Corporation of London acquired the pub in 1916 and soon demolished it.

The Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, London, is the largest Hindu temple in Europe. Built between 1991 and 1995, the temple features an exterior of Bulgarian limestone with Indian and Italian marble used internally. Happy #SouthAsianHeritageMonth!
