Linoleum
Tiles, wood, parquet, woven carpets and floorcloth were the most likely options for domestic flooring until the invention in 1860 by Mancunian Frederick Walton of the material that would become the world’s most popular floor covering until vinyl took its place a century later, essentially on the grounds of cost. The story as related by historian Pamela Simpson is so revealing of much of the…

I’ve been tracing my family tree on Ancestry and discovered I had family from Kirkaldy, Fife, Scotland in the 1400-1500s. The only reason I know anything about Kirkaldy is from watching “This Farming Life” several times through earlier this year. Life is mysterious and yet continuously proves to be interconnected.
Happy Birthday, Adam Smith, moral philosopher and political economist extraordinaire!

Kirkaldy’s Testing Works has been at 99 Southwark Street since 1874 and is now a museum, featuring David Kirkaldy’s original testing machine, used to verify the strength of iron and steel used in buildings and bridges all over the world.
Agent Hanna Kirkaldy senses trouble afoot, and produces a fucking rifle from his big coat. Because his coat is a tardis. #coat #tardis #hanna #kirkaldy

La Mclaren ha dichiarato ufficialmente il debutto della nuova 650S GT3 (che prende il posto della MP4-12C). E con una gara endurance come la 12 ore del Golfo (che andrà in scena il 12/13 dicembre), non può che essere una grande prova per una nuova vettura.
Saranno due le 650S che prenderanno il via a questa manifestazione: la #59 presenta tre piloti ufficiali…

Save The Kirkaldy Testing Museum!
Southwark is about to let another gem disappear.
The Kirkaldy Testing Museum is a museum which preserves a unique Victorian Materials Testing Machine in working order in the premises built to house it.
It also tells the story of the Kirkaldy family who ran the business for almost 100 years and the wider history of materials testing.
The Testing Works were built at 99 Southwark St and opened in 1874. Manufacturers sent materials from all over the world - they tested parts for everything from James Eads 1867 St Louis Bridge over the Mississippi River to the 1951 Festival of Britain Skylon.
There may only be 3 more openings due to an issue with their lease -unless the situation is resolved, the museum will have to close in June.
"The museum is run entirely volunteers. but we desperately need more help. At present we can only open one Sunday per month. More people to help means opening on more days and hence more visitor income."
