I didn't know this was out - Into The Vortex, a new complete guide to every TV Doctor Who story from the makers of DWM. I wrote a load of Hartnell, Troughton and Capaldi ones, and a bit of Tom Baker and David Tennant. Plus how to watch Daleks and comedy: doctorwhomagazine.com/bookazines/d...

Just in time, a September blog from me: I went to Wallington, a National Trust property with links to slavery (though you wouldn't know it from visiting), John Ruskin, and the coal and iron wealth of Newcastle. Of course I spotted a Victorian camera, too. 🗃️📜📷📸🎨 christinariggs.com/2024/09/30/t...

Detail of an oil painting showing activity on the banks of the Tyne at Newcastle in 1861: rolled sail on a ship beam at top, a wooden hut with a man seated inside, advertising cart transport, coal and coke, and Rotterdam hay, and a mix of figures at work or rest - including a photographer under the dark cloth of a sterescopic camera. By William Bell Scott, at Wallington house, National Trust, near Morpeth, Northumberland.

Reading on others' posts that WH Smith have closed their branches at King's Cross and Charing Cross main line stations in London. Another part of my internal map of the world erased by economic blitz.

WHS King's Cross is closed and boarded up, which means a station with 23 million people passing through it every year has nowhere selling newspapers. Amazing.
