The image is a vibrant pink poster with bold red text announcing the "1ST INTERNATIONAL GIRLIE EXHIBIT." The number 1, prominently displayed in large font at the top of the page, indicates that this event was first-time occurrence. Below it, the full title extends across almost half of the width, emphasizing its international nature.

The poster provides detailed information about the exhibit's location and date: "PACE 125 NEWBURY ST., BOSTON" with a specific time frame for attendance from "SATURDAY, FEB. 15-MARCH 11." The address is clearly marked at the top left corner in large white lettering on pink.

On one side of the poster, there's an illustration depicting a figure dressed as Cupid holding flowers and seated atop a barrel labeled with the word "GIRLIE," suggesting themes or exhibits related to this character. Adjacent to it, another flower is visible at the bottom right corner in red tones that match the overall color scheme.

The edges of the poster feature a decorative border with text repeating phrases like "DAZZLING GLAMOROUS CURVACEOUS" and "SUMPTUOUS DAZZLING," hinting at an exhibition showcasing extravagant and attractive displays. The background is primarily pink, while most text elements are in red or white.

The bottom of the poster contains a URL (https://images.loener.nl/LocGov/full/6726/6726107e89b10e7a26f3ed33.jpg), possibly indicating an online sou [...]

So #Newbury Museum most will tell you opened in 1904. It has been through numerous changes, today is West Berkshire Museum. However it has its origins much earlier as part of the Literary and Scientific Institution which is first (the museum) mentioned (I can find) in 1853.

Looking at the Belfast Telegraph 15 June 1872 via @BNArchive and it rightly has Mark Tuck (nickbits.co.uk/blog/2022/03/be) of #Newbury placed in the stocks. It says stocks not used for 26 years. Article even then was wrong. Got several uses in the late 1840s and 1850s. Indeed got a growing list around this time of those put in both #Newbury and #Thatcham stocks and a few in #Greenham and #Donnington and #Speenhamland.

A forum buddy has had his lovely looking Stooge Speedball stolen from #Newbury #Berkshire (UK) train station. Keep an eye out, yeah? #cycling #bikeTooter #mtb

I'm sad to hear the #newbury #hamradio rally has been cancelled this year. In my experience it was well organised and I always ended up buying useful :radio_tower: stuff. 🤞for next year nadars.org.uk/

Thomas "Berkshire" Blake was the last person to be placed in the stocks in #Thatcham, 1852. Mark Tuck was placed in the stocks in #Newbury in 1872 and was the last in the country - read the post - nickbits.co.uk/blog/2022/03/be

For those interested in the Roman Cemetery in #Newbury, Dr David Peacocks book is an excellent and up to date record, well worth a read.

Cover of the book, Newbury Roman Cemetery by Dr David Peacock.

The first #Newbury Horticultural Society appears to have been formed by 1828 but faded away sometime after 1836 but being restarted in 1848.

Hard not to wake up in the foredawn at Adso's so I got going up and early. Made sense to take a shortcut through the Old Forest, I knows a few paths there. Bloody great spiders but like most things if you don't bother them they won't bother you.

Made it to Newbury in Buckland, stopped off to tell Saradoc Brandybuck 'bout the troubles up East. Someone lost a sheep as I remember, wandering past the smials like it owned the place.

Les médias 🇷🇺 s'efforcent de relayer à grande échelle les accusations selon lesquelles « une unité des cyberforces 🇬🇧 » serait impliquée dans les attaques informatiques ayant paralysées des infrastructures en lien avec les activités de Rosnef & Lukoil afin, selon eux, de « saboter » les accords russo-américains. #uk #cyber #newbury #threats

In 1883 The Marsh in #Newbury was renamed the People's Park. And in 1897 it was renamed again to Victoria Park. Some of the facts in my Newbury 365 book (second edition in progress).
