A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

From Richborough Roman fort
📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a hand-sized, jagged, fragment of Roman red clay tile. There is an impression of a dog’s paw pressed into the clay. The imprint shows four toe pads arranged in an arc above a central pad. Above each toe imprint there is a small indent made by the dog’s claws. The imprint was made when the paw pressed into soft clay when the clay tile was laid out in the yard before firing. The tile fragment is set against a blue display case background. Excavated at Richborough Roman fort. My photo was taken in 2020.

A look at some of the work that took place earlier in November to make vital improvements to the East Suffolk Line. This includes replacing worn out jointed rail and repairs to two bridges. The work continues at the weekend into mid December.

The cream of Cornwall - the Castle class HSTs retire next month, 49 years after High Speed Trains started work in the west. Three sets were operating yesterday. @gerbil1978.bsky.social @jedkendray.bsky.social @rangercaps66.bsky.social @thattallbloke.bsky.social @suffolkraider.bsky.social

It's verse than you think - only in Halesworth would someone compose a poem to lament the closure of the Coopers hardware store.

Happy 31st Birthday eurostar! On this day in 1994, the first commercial services started. 2 trains a day each way between London and Paris/Brussels back then.
A eurostar train from Waterloo passes Battersea Power Station in the mid 1990s.

Meet Pete the cat, my studio assistant.
According to him, he’s in charge of picking and packing, stocktaking, order wrapping and logistics management.
Pete says I’d be nothing without him. He might be right.

Autumnal scenes on @eastsuffolklines.co.uk around Halesworth Millennium Green and the restored (and disused) short stretch of the old narrow gauge Southwold Railway, which runs parallel to the main railway, just south of Halesworth station. See halesworthtosouthwoldrailway.co.uk for more details.
A grey Greater Anglia train, 755419, passes an oak tree as it enters Halesworth Millennium Green on the 11.16am Ipswich to Lowestoft service. In the foreground is a restored short stretch of the Southwold Railway, passing over a bridge. In the background, framed by trees, a grey Greater Anglia train, 755336, passes over a bridge on the 12.06pm Lowestoft to Ipswich. No trespassing is involved, as this is a public path in Halesworth Millennium Green. The stretch of relayed narrow gauge line, on the old track bed of the former Southwold Railway, covered with leaves.

Not sure where they were going. This will be a pond in a few weeks, but it's usually dry in the summer and fall.
