Anyone remember Panda crossings in use between 1962 and 67? Here are some images from @UkNatArchives to jog your memory. They were an attempt to add light controls to crossings on busy roads where the traditional Zebra crossing wasn't as effective. #Panda #RoadSafety
Fabulous plans of the Cape Pembroke lighthouse on the easternmost point of the Falkland Islands from @UkNatArchives. This 1905 version replaced the original structure built in 1855 following the loss of 15 ships nearby. #archives #lighthouse
The Empire Marketing Board records @UkNatArchives contain work by many artists - here are 2 posters by Clare Leighton, who specialised in depicting rural life, usually in wood engravings. I particularly like the shepherds with their obedient dog ignoring the lambs. #arthistory
Love these pen wash sketches by Hugh Casson found in the 1951 Festival of Britain records @UkNatArchives The vision of modern living that could replace war ravaged Britain is so enticing. It looks so clean, bright and peaceful. #1950s #architecture #archives
Four designs for stained glass from the British and Foreign Glass Co., 45 Enoch Square, Glasgow, 1900. I think my favourite is No. 152 but I'd love any of them in my house. From the copyright registration records @UkNatArchives #archives #Glasgow #glass
George Hutchins Bellasis sketched St Helena in 1804. When Napoleon was exiled there in 1815, the sketches were etched and coloured using the aquatint process by Robert Havell for a book. These images are from Colonial Office records @UkNatArchives #arthistory #archives
Charles Sykes designed the 'winged lady' Rolls Royce emblem. He also painted promotional material featuring the car. These 2 were registered for copyright protection in records held @UkNatArchives from 1909 - Arrival at the Opera and Arrival at a Country House #art #archives
These are images from an 1873 court case where a man claimed to be Roger Tichborne, long lost heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. Dramatised in a 1998 film with @stephenfry. He lost and served 14 years for fraud. A new twist on Who Do You Think You Are? #photography #archives
And you wonder why people have a phobia of clowns. Come and see us? I don't think so. From the copyright registration records @UkNatArchives Ref COPY 1/67(422)
