SIHG Talk: "It's All a Bit Heath Robinson - Re-inventing the First World War" (Zoom) by Lucinda Gosling
Events:
Groups:
Periods:
The First World War inspired Heath Robinson to dream up a series of increasingly outlandish and bizarre military inventions with which the opposing armies would try to outwit each other. From the kaiser’s campaigning car or a suggestion for an armoured bayonet curler, to post-war ‘unbullying’ of beef, his cartoons are a fantastically absurd take on wartime technology and home-front life.
SIHG: "Brunel, Engineers & Railways : a Tour of Kensal Green Cemetery"
Groups:
Periods:
Kensal Green Cemetery was London's first "garden cemetery". It was initiated by barrister George Frederick Carden, who was inspired by a visit to Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris in 1821. It was consecrated in 1833.
