Egyptian-inspired architecture reached Yorkshire in the 18th–19th centuries, fuelled by “Egyptomania” and new archaeological finds. It appears in industry, estates, and cemeteries. The most well known is Temple Works in Leeds, a Grade I-listed flax mill modelled on the Temple of

A massive explosion in 1684 destroyed the roof, floor and central pillar of Clifford's Tower, leaving only the walls intact.

A painting titled Knostrop Cut, Leeds, Sunday Night by the Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, created in 1893. The artwork depicts a tranquil, industrial canal scene in Leeds, England, during a golden sunset. Grimshaw was renowned for his nocturnal landscapes and urban scenes, particularly those featuring docks and canals. The painting captures a rare moment of calm in a heavily industrialised area, showcasing the atmospheric light for which the artist is famous.

Just a hyacinth appreciation post 🪻

Hyacinths serve as a vital early-season source of nectar and pollen insects as they emerge from hibernation. Grape hyacinths are especially loved by bees, so add these to your borders for a wildlife-friendly garden.

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Unicorn DESCRIPTION: A purple dappled horse with flowing purple-to-blue main and tail looks out with a slightly empty-brain look. She has a purple-to-green spiral horn sticking out of her forehead. Her legs fade to a darker purple and end in purple feathering. She walks on a sparkling green grass, and is surrounded by pink sparkles. JOKES: - Imagine going through life, asking at every meal, “COULD IKEBAB THIS?” - Teeth are perfectly straight. (Because magic is the ultimate orthodontist.) - Her muscles are purely decorative…and disintegrate upon any actual labor. - 90% of her waking hours are spent prancing. - (pointing to her horn) Enclosed bounce houses are a nightmare. - Her mane has more volume than all the hair-metal bands of 1989. - That ain’t sparkly magic. That’s crippling dandruff. - Has a highly curated playlist for walking slowly through backlit mist. - Thinks horses are “total uggos” —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?
