@buchanan.todayReposted by @tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialAre any of my academic contacts working in or around the British Library at present?
Iām hoping for a quick look up in Frank Miles āKingās College School: A Register of Pupils ā¦ 1831-1866ā - Iām looking to see if there are any Clippertons on the roll.

@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialYou can really get a sense of how small the venue was. But it also allows people to sit and reflect. While in some ways it is a simple memorial it is also a poignant, powerful and well thought out design. A fitting tribute.
@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialVisited Dromcollogher today to see the memorial to the victims of the fire. They are simple wooden benches laid out much in the same way as they would have been laid out on the night. Each one has plaque with the names of those that died.

@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialIn London for the @womenshistnet.bsky.social conference. I had a chance to visit @lselibrary.bsky.social exhibition marking 100 years of the Women's Library. The library proved invaluable in completing my PhD. Worth a visit if you are in London.
@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialGreat to catch in person. Enjoy Cork.
@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialThanks for an amazing key note. Good look with the research.

@tmartinwalsh.bsky.socialThere are a lot of stories like yours. People who at the last minute decided not to attend that night. It must have been hard for them afterwards.
