Don’t look so worried Sherlock... we know who the perpetrators of #FakeHeritage are. My new book is all about motivations to reconstruct the past - not a Whodunnit but a Whydoit

Today climate change & heritage is on the agenda
Blackpool’s piers were a @WorldMonuments 2018 Watch site, selected because such structures are on the interface of land & sea - ‘canaries’ - the first historic structures to feel the impact of coastal climate change

Today: St George’s Bloomsbury London
Look up if you pass this eccentric church
The lions & unicorns on the tower were part of Hawksmoor’s 1711 design (& are on Hogarth’s Gin Lane), but were replaced by the Victorians - too racy!
@WorldMonuments put them back
If you’re ever wandering Bloomsbury’s streets look up...
Hawksmoor’s St George’s (1731) has lions and unicorns chasing each other around the spire (a reference to England & Scotland) with George I looking down
It’s depicted in Hogarth’s ‘Gin Lane’
Restored by @WorldMonuments
Tyger, tyger burning bright...
The extraordinary William Blake @Tate Britain
