On Highgate Hill, London N6 - a plaque memorialising 17th century poet Andrew Marvell. Author of "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland" (1650)

"And now the Irish are asham’d
To see themselves in one year tam’d;
So much one man can do
That does both act and know"
#IrishLondonHistory ☘️
Plaque inscription: "Four feet below this spot is the stone step, formerly the entrance to the cottage in which lived Andrew Marvell, poet, wit, and satirist; colleague with John Milton in the foreign or Latin secretaryship during the Commonwealth; and for about twenty years M.P. for Hull. Born at Winestead, Yorkshire, 31st March, 1621, died in London, 18th August, 1678, and buried in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. This memorial is placed here by the London County Council, December, 1898." The text of An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell’s Return from Ireland can be read here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44683/an-horatian-ode-upon-cromwells-return-from-ireland

At BCT, we believe — and the evidence shows — that bats and people can thrive together. Thriving communities, new homes, modern infrastructure and strong wildlife protections are not opposites and framing them as such is both irresponsible and harmful. www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/11...
Nature protections do not block growth confirms cross-party committee - News - Bat Conservation Trust
New evidence reinforces concerns about anti-nature rhetoric and the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
