What do this chair, David Bowie, the Royal Festival Hall and H. Stain Jewellers have in common?

They all inspired the design of our recent local history project, The Towers: A History of Summervale and Crossbank!

Our recent Design Diary #3 blog post explores all of the intricacies of our design process, and how we chose to display a whole bunch of interesting, yet super different, stories together.

Over the past year, we’ve been working with residents and neighbours of Summervale and Crossbank towers in Oldham, to capture their stories of what it was like to live and work in and around the towers. The result of that work is finally public, and you can explore it by going to https://towersoldham.uk!

There's history everywhere, incidental to everyday life. Sometimes all you have to do is look.

This memorial to Thomas Ferguson was originally built in the middle of Russell Street in Melbourne's CBD.

After being partially destroyed by a truck in 1947, its remaining granite base was moved here to University Square in Carlton.

In today's video, we'll be looking at Melbourne's drinking fountains, including this one, and how they came about

Just watching The Repair Shop & hearing a proper Black Country accent just like my Nan & Grandad. I love hearing it but It’s becoming so rare now, & you hardly ever hear the dialect. It’s so complicated because as an adult I feel it’s really important that such an old dialect should remain yet my Nan was so insistent that neither my Mum or I should speak with that dialect or accent. She wanted us to sound ‘educated’. It’s history that’s disappearing & it’s sad.
