An passenger tunnel on the Underground, that has tiled walls.

That moment when you're on the Underground and find yourself completely alone down a silent tunnel that, without a doubt, must be haunted.

Poems on the Underground poster showing the following text:
Epitaph on a Tyrant
W. H. Auden

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

Saw this on the Tube this morning. Today marks 40 years of Poems on the Underground. You can see the archive @theul.bsky.social.

An excellent day learning about MDLS. Key takeaway for me was "meet people where THEY are" on using digital, and engage. www.goodthingsfoundation.org/policy-and-r...

You arrive too early for an event, go looking for a bench and accidentally find a portal to another land.

A studio portrait showing four generations of the Tysoe family, consisting of three men and one child. The photograph is listed in the Maddison & Hinde order book, and can thus be dated to 1898.  David Cozens, in his book "Huntingdon A Pictorial History" believed the family may have lived in Hartford Road, Huntingdon. Doc ref HA WH2/70
