Last 11 weeks of rainfall. That’s a lot of red! Last widespread wet weather was over 2 months ago. Exceptionally low river flows widely across northern and central England.

Died #OTD 1701, Charles Sedley, MP for New Romney for much of the late 17th c. Known for his wit, Sedley gained a reputation for debauchery in his early years, but after entering Parliament in 1668 he lived a quieter life. Read about his career here: ow.ly/HV5x50FGZ1T

In summer 1663 Sedley and Lord Buckhurst engaged in a "drunken and licentious frolic on the balcony of the Cock tavern which shocked Samuel Pepys" among others. Sedley was fined 2,000 marks and got a week in gaol for his trouble. #HistParl #twitterstorians

Hoiho here is crossing his flippers for the #EURO2024 final.   Penguins know all about teamwork, huddling together to look out for each other. We’d love our 80-strong team to waddle in on 22 July on the back of a victory tonight.   Check out this football-themed sneak peek! 👀🐧

In England, we sometimes see these corrugated brick fences. And as curious as it may seem, this shape uses fewer bricks than a straight wall. They're known as crin­kle-cran­kle walls, and many fine examples survive in #Suffolk. – at Bath, England

Sunday afternoons are made for browsing bookshelves. Do you have a favourite second-hand bookshop?

Heenan & Froude whose HQ moved to Worcester in 1903 made all sorts of mechanical items. Apart from #BlackpoolTower they are most well-known for their dynamometers & rolling roads as shown by this drawing of a #EYASmall dynamometer at Ref 705:411 10826.31.viii #ExploreYourArchive
