Sorry but I can't help roll my eyes at the tea-towel sepia with which the Kinder mass trespass is commemorated.

Organisations which wouldn't dream of supporting mass trespass themselves, let alone a trespass led by overt communists, claiming it as their heritage now it's safe.

Quite a hard (but brilliant) read about Birmingham from Nathalie Olah. Nathalie has got to the heart of our city's issues; neurosis, brilliance, modernity, culture, heritage and self-defeating sabotage. God, I love this city but it's hard > theguardian.com/culture/2024/a…

Nice article on the wonderfully wacky, feminist supporters of the National Trust, Ferguson's Gang here: tinyurl.com/5h5ctvxb I talked about them briefly in my Octavia Hill lecture tinyurl.com/tj5yhpwy
