Reposted for the anniversary of the raid. The image remains its power to shock, all these years on.

I'm proud that @sthelenstownafc.bsky.social is associated with Hope United. They are a living example of football as a force for good.
What he said.
Freelancers are an important part of the heritage secor, & taking some of these points of basic fairness on board would go a long way. (I've sat on various groups often as the only person not either paid to be there as an employee or retired; I want to contribute but have limits.)
Thank you to our latest sponsors for #StHelens #BeatingTheBounds, coming up this Sunday - a 44 mile walk raising £ for the local branch of Mind. It is the 10th edition, so I think we've successfully recreated a tradition.

The view south to the #RiverIrthing from #Birdoswald / Banna. This was taken just a few yards from the fort's southern edge, and gives a clue as to how much of the broader site may have eroded down the cliff over the centuries.

Rustic simplicity at The Masons, #Billinge - my favourite pub, & where we will end this Sunday's #BeatingTheBounds walk. Thanks again to Dan and family for hosting us there, and generally supporting our efforts. We appreciate it.

Detail from a window at St. John the Baptist Church, Nash, south #Shropshire, commemorating the relationship between the church at the National Association of Boys Clubs Training Centre at nearby Nash Court, which ran from 1949-77. I like it.

Can someone tell #EnglishHeritage they'd better close #Lindisfarne Priory early today, please? Or at least get Terry Butcher in as security?

The 'Domesday Stone', an early 9th century grave marker found on Holy Island, perhaps recalling the infamous Viking raid of 793. On display at the Lindisfarne Priory museum. #FindsFriday #Northumberland #Vikings #Museums

PLAYERS from several continents, but united by the universal language of football, will take to the field in St Helens as part of Refugee Week
The Norway Football national team photo, is probably the best ever👏👏😂
I've been plugging away arranging book tour dates. I have 46 confirmed, which is pretty good as I don't have an agent. However, I keep encountering event organisers who assume they do not need to pay authors on a book tour... and I want to discuss that in a thread 1/🧵

Did you watch ‘Kevin McCloud’s Listed Britain’ last night, visiting Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Notts? The last coal-fired power station in the country, it closed in 2024 and now exists on borrowed time.
