- Hello all. Back from holiday in Cornwall, and appear to have returned with six small ambrotypes. Always nice to bring back souvenirs! #

- @MarDixon ah, I've been away, and madly busy, but that's a timely reminder (but also out tomorrow night!) in reply to MarDixon #
- @MarDixon @CultureThemes here's a sweet little Edwardian image of Museum IV at Kew Gardens on #historypin – http://t.co/w7fkh1j in reply to MarDixon #
- And continuing the museums theme, here's Museum I at Kew Gardens on #historypin a view that has barely changed – http://t.co/9RWsIkM #
- As pretty as a postcard – #historypin shows that Trevone Bay in Cornwall is just as picturesque now as >100 years ago http://t.co/nvTXRED #
- A "Kodak Moment" @kewgardens, 1933. 80 years on you'll see folk strike the same pose at the same spot http://t.co/sJdktTn #historypin #
- An eternal favourite on #Flickr Commons "Girls skipping at an athletics carnival" from @phmuseum http://t.co/eMCmsko #
- I've just been madly uploading images to #historypin as it's the last day of the @CultureThemes event. http://t.co/hXEcLJd #
- Some #historypin matches with modern Street View images are uncanny, like this cottage – http://t.co/PjotISp (use fade bar at bottom) #
- Other locations simply don't have Street View, like this one of Makai Gate in Aurangabad, Maharashtra – http://t.co/07yzZ9N #historypin #
- Even closer to home, this part of Preston at Harris Museum is now pedestrianised so no Street View – http://t.co/RvHtjf9 #historypin #
- This evocative winter night-time image of Notre Dame, Paris is a personal fave – http://t.co/Y0u1UCo #historypin #
- Again Street View doesn't really align with this row of old buildings in Margate – http://t.co/DYSgwIt (but it's a great story) #historypin #
- But this last one aligns perfectly, including the road layout and buildings – Deauville, France – http://t.co/yjT1Day #historypin #
