Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool's Herculaneum Pottery works: Toxteth Park. The date c.1815. Opened 1793/4 and closed in 1841 - to later become the site of Harrington Dock. The work is in part based on material in the excellent blog of Jim Kenny. wp.me/p2XyHv-2AF
This is a watercolour reconstruction of iverpool's Herculaneum pottery works. An aerial view, it shows 7 bottle kilns, buildings, workers, a dock and the River Mersey with ships

This 3D image of the #York # Anglian helmet is currently on display @TheWorldofGlass in #StHelens. An unexpected treat.
Ste Lingard@stelingard30 Oct 2019
First visit to @YorkshireMuseum on Tues. Top class #Roman & #medieval collections. My favourite item was the 8th Anglian Helmet, one of only three from that period to survive complete. Such a blend of display and practicality. It was found in #York in 1982.
