One of the most important parts of the medieval Abbey was College Garden, which was used to grow food and medicinal herbs and was home to a fishpond and beehives. The gardener's expenses are recorded in these handwritten accounts in our archive.

Before 1960, The National Hospital for Nervous Diseases' logo showed just three of the four of the UK national flowers - rose (England), shamrock (Ireland) and thistle (Scotland). The Hospital is now called the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) and has all four UK national flowers, since about 1961.
The current logo of The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, which was introduced in around 1961, including the daffodil this time. It replaced the three UK flower emblem logo that was in use from 1860 to 1961.
Today’s images link Feb. and March’s #ExploreYourArchive themes, #EYAConnections, #EYAWildlife, and St. David’s Day.
After its centennial in 1960, the National Hospitals for Nervous Diseases (as known then), added the daffodil to its logo with the other 3 UK national flowers. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

A hand drawn card that says 'Thine till', a big red love heart and a skeleton running with an arrow in its hand.
As it is Valentine's Day, it is time to share this romantic (and definitely not creepy) card again, from our Munby Family papers collection (ref MFP/7/2/11, c.1805.)❤️

The Solway Viaduct from Seafield postcard. This shows a large bridge stretching across the Solway. This is a black and white postcard photo from years gone by.
Anyone heard of The Solway Viaduct? 🌉
Did you know that during WW1 this helped to supply H.M. Factory Gretna?🤔
The Solway Viaduct was a railway line and bridge that once connected England and Scotland.
