Dermot Kennedy Caught the train up from Birmingham to the Red Lion in Erdington, mainly to see the magnificent ceramic bar counter. It was made for the pub by Craven Dunnill in 1899 and it's one of only 14 left in the UK. I think I have a photo of most of them now so maybe it's time to get them together in a post!

Churchill County Museum Camels originated in North America about 44 million years ago. Around 6.5 million years ago, a population crossed into Eurasia & later evolved into modern day camels. Two camel species once lived in Nevada. We have 3 of their bones on display, and some cuddly friends for sale at the museum store!
Cory S. Sheffield 🇨🇦🐝🌺📸🎸🎨 It is a cold day in southern Saskatchewan. I am afraid this #bumblebee, Bombus huntii, missed out on the chance to find a wintering site and will not become a queen next year. A late seasonal record for the province, so perhaps ending up in our museum collection is a suitable fate
NPicts For our Professional Archaeology fieldwork course we are out at Sands of Forvie nature reserve looking at a series of shell middens - previous examples we dug here have turned out to be Pictish in date. We’ve found associated fire pits and some animal bone including red deer antler. Weather ☀️❤️
