Incredible object and archive
On this day in 2013, an artist called Audrey Amiss died alone in her south London flat, aged 79.
She documented the last day of her life by pasting some food packaging into a scrapbook, and recording the things she noticed in her final hours.
ALT Alt text: This photograph shows one half of the last double-page spread from Audrey Amiss' last scrapbook. It shows a Cornetto wrapper and a cut-out from a box of Sainsbury's fruit pudding, stuck into the scrapbook with some annotations in Audrey's handwriting.

This year is 250th anniversary of the first black British vote by Ignatius Sancho, first person of African descent to vote in a general election in 1774. Sharing on our GE eve. I've put the date in my sculpture commission of Sancho.
