🎩🧐Did you know? In Belfast in 1847, a Mr Grant
took it upon himself to make an enormous Christmas cake which weighed 4480lbs (2 tonnes, or 2032Kg)!
It was “studded throughout” with 100 gold rings 💍
manufactured by a "respectable local jeweller". #VeryHeritageChristmas 🏛️🎄✨
FUN FACT:
John Marshall (1765-1845) married in 1795, Jane Pollard (1770-1847) from Halifax. They lived in Leeds and then Hallsteads. Jane was a lifelong friend of Dorothy Wordsworth's, but I haven't seen any evidence Anne Lister knew or mentioned these women in her journals.

Happy Birthday to Bram Stoker (Nov. 8, 1847 to April 20, 1912)! Your creation #Dracula may owe #Spike 11 pounds, but #vampire lore and #Buffy owe you a much greater debt. #BTVS #BOTD #BuffyTheVampireSlayer #BramStoker #Angel #Buffyverse

#BramStoker, author of #Dracula, was born on 8th Nov 1847 in Dublin. He spent most of his life in England & a holiday in #Whitby proved his inspiration. Part of his novel is set there - it is where Dracula lands. Images: views of Whitby by Atkinson Grimshaw, late C19th. #Gothic
Musique du soir. Le 4 novembre 1847, disparaissait le génial Mendelssohn. 38 ans, et des œuvres fabuleuses. Comme cette ouverture évoquant la grotte de Fingal aux Hébrides, peinte ici par Thomas Moran en 1884
