Another pic from our LD group, hosted by Pennine Heritage. At the end of last year, Trustee Judith helped us plant some bulbs. Nice to see them starting to flower in the spring sunshine.

An undated but early 20th century view of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, before it was quite the seaside destination it is today. Oysters, fresh from the beds anyone!? Image from the South Pennine Archives, hosted by Pennine Heritage.

It’s pancake day at LD club. We didn’t have the right equipment or even the right ingredients but we muddled through and ended up with an approximation of Yorkshire puddings. Might not look like it but they were very tasty.

Great panel on art and creativity at #WhoCares2025. Papers by Rachel Wilson and Fabienne Moine. This slide from the latter maybe of interest @valbold.bsky.social

I co-authored a short piece in this with lit scholar, Dr Iona Murphy, and three of what turned out to be my final, final-year undergrad cohort at UoH. We reflected on our motivations for being involved in a public history of Learning Disability. Looking forward to seeing the full copy.

Usually post the image at this time of year. I was lucky enough to work on a project with Leeds Mencap a few years ago and we found this Christmas card in a box of old materials. Very Christmassy!

If you're interested in the history of mental health and psychiatry, this series is the place to start. Many of the books and edited volumes are open access. If you can't afford one that isn't ask your library to order it. link.springer.com/series/14806

Festive fun with @mctom.bsky.social and the rest of LD club at Pennine Heritage today. Christmas biscuits, crafts, and tree decoration, all inspired by history and heritage. Nice to welcome back old friends and see new ones for the first time.
