On this day:
In 1865, the great English novelist and Poet Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born. He was, like many great britions of the 19th century, born in India: Bombay, to be exact.
After an early career as a local Jornalist, Kipling would go on to write many greatly loved and admired pieces of English Literature, including but not limited too: The Jungle Book duology (The Jungle Book, 1894; The Jungle Book 2, 1895), Kim (1901) and The Just So Stories (1902).
He also merits a prominent and everlasting place in the history of English poetry. Penning such great poems as Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), The Gods of the Copybook Headings (1919), The White Man's burden, and If- (1910).
Let's hope that his memory remains immortal; just like his wonderful works.

This Haute design right beside BoroughMarket is a stunning townhouse which was once part of the former #Anchor Brewery which once sat behind the Anchor Bankside (@ABankside) pub. Today it sits proudly, despite it's surroundings.

It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.

On this day:
In 1757, Robert Clive (also known as Clive of India) successfully captured Calcutta. The settlement had been Seized by the Nawab of Bengal, who imprisoned 146 British soldiers in the infamous 'black hole'. Only 23 soldiers survived. Clive, after regaining Calcutta and defeating Nawab, established the military and political supremacy of the East India Company in Bengal and also the wealth that followed for the British crown. Together with Warren Hastings (the first Governor-General of India), he was one of the key figures in the creation of British India.

This amazing hand-made model was bought by my father years ago & eventually left at my grandparents house. It depicts a residential/rural scene in #China which I've spent many an hour staring at throughout my life. I'll post more images below, time cannot damage true art.
