Never realised it was set in 2022.

Local ephemera finds - The Floyd bits are rare as the gig didn’t happen (They played Hyde Park instead!)

‘Akerbladh’, apparently. I know because I wondered if a print was available - the licencees (Kirklees Council), have licensed no less than 3 other views of Richmond Bridge, none of them this one!

You could contact KC and ask for a high-res image from the digital archive which any print shop could print and frame if you wanted.

I looked as well, and liked " Lady Arranging Flowers", but no prints available.
I have emailed the holders of the original, Folkestone Museum, to see if it was possible.

I’m intrigued. What bridge?

Probably a Wheatsone Bridge :grinning:

You know you need a Strain Gauge Cart!

Which one do you want?
