Fans of #Victorian #design will want to get this beautiful book by Olivia Horsfall Turner published by V&A Lund Humphries. Considering his importance there should be multiple books on #OwenJones but there aren't. Hopefully this is the beginning of a long overdue revival of interest🤞

Delighted to see this published. I described Owen Jones, I think fairly, as “largely forgotten” in #NoFreeParking (and described his St James’s Hall as “a rich cake”) Marvellous to see celebration of his polychromatic & eclectic design

So two weeks after a developer bought Crooked House pub (which would be worth far more as building land) it catches fire. Two days later it is bulldozed before any chance to see if building can be saved. Was the JCB booked before the fire?

Every year, we put a shout out for our missing room, in case a new friend to these pages recognises the fireplace and panelling of Gwydir’s missing C16th Oak Parlour. It was sold in 1921 to William Randolph Hearst (aka #CitizenKane) who assembled it in his apartment in New York.

Let's remind UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 that the demolitions are within the parameters of Historic Cairo, which is indeed a world heritage site, also protected by national listing. Yet they are still being destroyed.
