Great that you had some too, they are wonderful and it is so interesting to imagine all the transactions that took place and what kind of people held them. Trying to explain cryptocurrency to a Victorian would be fun and take a long time I imagine 🀣
I found these very old Victorian Pennies in a charity shop yesterday a small bag full. The paper tells you what they are. I was happy to find them ☺️

Cryptwork #17:

"Simply To Thy Cross I Cling"

West Norwood Cemetery, 2010

Apparently the cemetery has catacombs πŸ¦‡ It would be wonderful to get inside and photograph these at some point πŸ–€

Cryptwork #16:

Ironwork hinge, West Norwood Cemetery, London. Nov 2010.

Some of the most beautiful artwork lies in details.

Cryptwork #15:

Cloister, Brompton Cemetery, London. This shot is taken from the entrance to the crypt that runs underneath the cemetery.

I wasn't able to gain access to it, but maybe one day?

Tagging @samstrzyga.bsky.social since I know she loves this place πŸͺ¦

Cryptwork #14:

#gothicadvent is sadly over but I've still a wealth of photography that hasn't been shared to re-tag!

This Celtic cross is from Abney Park, maybe the most 'gothic' cemetery from London's "magnificent seven". It's no surprise that a rock band in the USA used the name πŸ–€ #photography

Victorian and Edwardian statues in my hometown of Leicestershire

1 - A statue named the Leicester Seamstress. Rather than being of a particular person, it represents the city's hosiery heritage.
