Perhaps this is the most unusual war memorial in our book 'To Our Brothers' War Memorials in British Schools. It comes from Leighton Park School who are a Quaker foundation. They were unable to use religious or militaristic imagery so they commissioned this remarkable sundial.

In the 1960s the @LPSchool glider received Royal approval from #PrincePhilip on a visit to #Lasham. He clearly was relaxed talking to the boys & their teachers.

For an #Easter #PhotoFriday... an #EasterEgg machine from 1938! [MS 466/41/Box 4a/81]. You can find out more about the @LibraryofBham #Cadbury #Archive in our online catalogue: ow.ly/2BvJ30rDaLq
Black & white photograph of an Easter egg machine. It has 2 metal arches under which are what look like metal claws, each gripping a foil wrapped Easter egg. There are more than 40 eggs visible that look like they're going to be conveyed somewhere at a great rate...

Ahhhhhh I can’t quite believe it but our short film “Better” has been nominated for Best British Short film at the @irisprize (which also means we now qualify for a BAFTA 😱) and if you’ve not seen it yet will be screening on @Film4 and will be on @All4 for a year from November!
