It put me in mind of the asbestos board that the GPO used in telephone boxes to mount the phones. Naturally, youths gleefully carved their names into them freeing all those lovely lung-killing fibres.

P. - much like my secondary school - they were happy for generations to run about there but when it came time to demolish it - suddenly all the builders were dragged up like Neil Armstrong.

Snapped earlier today while I was in the town, a large honey bee on a wall in St Austell Cornwall made up with glazed tile, the artwork is around 30ft wide and 20ft tall.

#talesofgovanhill @Blademonkey - Easter occurs on the Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox - an ideal time to nail soft toys to a wall - I can't imagine the trauma of the children? - I.

I'm sorry, I didn't take proper photos. I just pulled my phone out and snap snap done. This shaving bowl was in the British Museum.

"Tin-glazed earthenware shaving bowl painted with instruments in the centre and on the rim the legend SIR YOUR QUARTER IS UP
London, probably Lambeth, about 1700

The legend refers to the custom for gentlemen to pay their barber's bill quarterly."

Edit: I don't know the best place to post this, it's not really what this thread is for... ‍

It looks like a bloodletting bowl. A task barbers could perform up till around the 17th Century.
