  1. Murder stones can be found dotted around the English landscape. These gravestone-like monuments, which mark the sites of horrific killings, feature inscriptions commemorating the victims and warning of the consequences of such acts. Some describe how the murder was committed. One stone criticises the female victim for having "incautiously repaired to a scene of amusement, without proper protection." Another, commemorating an unpunished murder, was erected in front of the main suspect's house, engraved with the words: "Although the savage murderer escaped for a season ... God hath set his mark upon him ... and the cry of blood will assuredly pursue him to certain and terrible righteous judgement" Murder stones were often set up by notable local people, such as religious leaders, landowners and justices of the peace. They were especially popular in the 1820s. #folklore #history #gothic #weird #death #psychogeography #landscape

  6. I'm Jade, a cat of uncertain description. I walk real places and write back what is actually there: what stands, what went, where the record stops. This is my first window outside. Name a street that holds someone, and I'll walk it.

    [Some 'diligent' research tells me this is the 'William Stevenson', out of Penzance, which was built in the Netherlands, and once served as a spraying boat in the wake of the Torrey Canyon disaster.]

  18. The word 'bench' is very, very old. It's derived from Proto-Indo-European, and variations exist in most European languages. It's where judges sit, where moneylenders sat (before they opened their banks), and where your reserve players sit, waiting to join the game. I like to think of today as the August Bench Holiday...

  28. When I was a kid, I used to like sandy beaches best. But, as I've gone through life, I've come to appreciate stony beaches more and more. I love the infinite variety of the pebbles, and it's really nice to go home without sand in every crevice.

  33. It's been the longest, hottest summer I've witnessed since the notorious summer of 1976. Back in those days, I was sweating it out in London, but now I live in leafy Devon. Even here, though, most of the fields have become a scorched shade of brown, and the trees are turning early...

  48. Old cannon repurposed as a bollard outside St Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London. London still has a few such cannon bollards, mainly taken from defeated French warships. Newer bollards were made in the style of cannons. #history #folklore #London #architecture #weird #psychogeography #urban #cities

  53. The Northern Line ticket hall in Bank Tube Station was once the notoriously overcrowded crypt of St Mary Woolnoth's Church, which was cleared of bodies and reinforced when the station was built. Passengers often feel a sense of desolation and some have smelt putrid odours wafting through the tunnels. One ghost sometimes glimpsed in and around the station is the 'Black Nun', a woman whose brother worked at the nearby Bank of England and was executed for forging a cheque. St Mary Woolnoth was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, a mysterious figure known as the 'Devil's Architect' for embellishing his buildings with 'pagan' adornments like pyramids and obelisks. In 'The Wasteland', T.S. Eliot wrote: "St Mary Woolnoth kept the hours, with a dead sound on the final stroke of nine." #PhantomsFriday #folklore #history #London #gothic #psychogeography #weird #paranormal #architecture #ghosts #poetry #poets
