@caitlinrgreen There's a nice blogpost by @lidongni on antiquarian recordings of the Newport arch here: http://www.thecollectionmuseum.com/?/blog/view/antiquarian-recording-of-lincolns-newport-arch …
@amelia_dowler @lidongni Yes, it's well worth a read! I partic like sketch w/ former medieval arches in evidence :)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/618743406769127424 …
@caitlinrgreen @lidongni The tiny horseman on the second Stukeley is my favourite!
@amelia_dowler @lidongni Yes, that is fab! Also really like the 18thC Nathan Drake painting :)

@caitlinrgreen loved the Victorian batman spring heeled Jack illustration
@T3_Stephen me too! :)
@caitlinrgreen I've never seen this before - I adore it! Methinks the artist was more concerned with drama than historical accuracy though!
@lidongni I loved it as soon as I stumbled upon it! And yes, suspect so!
@caitlinrgreen I take it that Jack was a cat burglar? It looks like both of them missed.
@GeorgeRick1 Of a sort, it would seem, though he seems to have become something of a folkloric phenomenon!
@caitlinrgreen that Jack got about a bit! :)
@CatherineEsse he did indeed! An intriguing tale!
@caitlinrgreen @bexhillmuseum I had a set of these as a child in the 60's. You couldn't even jump on a chair, let alone onto a bridge...
@ScroogeDLWP2015 @bexhillmuseum Hah! Good to know! I've never tried them, have to admit!
@caitlinrgreen @bexhillmuseum It was a terrible disappointment! The box clearly showed a boy leaping a tall building at a single bound...
@ScroogeDLWP2015 @caitlinrgreen Aww, you thought you'd be Superman. :-)
@bexhillmuseum @caitlinrgreen Was that too much for a 6 year old to expect - I think not!
@ScroogeDLWP2015 @caitlinrgreen Hee hee, absolutely right. :-)
