In a red brick arch under a bridge, a middle-aged blond man receives the ministrations of pigeons.
I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

Join the pledge to strike today and, together, we'll end the failure of private water 👉 takebackwater.uk
HOLY SHIT! This might be the coolest thing ever.

We are creating a resource pack to help workers take action over the climate crisis within their own workplaces. We'd like to hear people's ideas and experiences taking collective action over environmental issues to help us develop this resource.
Illustration commemorating the 100th anniversary of the General Strike from 1926 to 2026, featuring a group of people marching with banners and flags, set against a collage background with historical and modern elements. Logos of sponsors like the National Coal Mining Museum and Working Class Movement Library are displayed at the bottom.
We are delighted to be a part of the #GeneralStrike 100 anniversary national partnership with other museums, libraries, archives and groups.
