From great port to tiny hamlet in 700 years, this is the story of erosion and decline. A small museum with a big story, it’s well worth the visit.

On this Election Day, here’s
the by-election from Blackadder for the seat of Dunny-in-the-Wold, clearly inspired by the Rotten Borough of Dunwich. youtube.com/watch?v=Tkb9SIe4…

Rotten boroughs - featuring our very own rotten Borough of #Dunwich. @Dunwichmuseum has a small Rotten Boroughs exhibit on display.
Rotten boroughs, anyone? Satirized by Blackadder, rotten boroughs (pre-1832) were 'constituencies in which very few voters resided, yet two MPs were still returned to the House of Commons at each election'. for more info, see here: ecppec.ncl.ac.uk/features/ro…

White Admiral butterflies from Dunwich Forest today (25th June 2024), showing their beautiful underwing patterns. The first of the summer for me, and mostly a bit distant, but more to follow I'm sure!

2024 is the 80th anniversary of the #DDay landings at Normandy. Radar, & technology used to jam it, played a decisive role.
Developed by Joan Curran, 'chaff', also known as 'window', was dropped by Avro Lancasters over the Straits of Dover to confuse German...
