#Onthisday 24th May 1819 Queen Victoria was born. She was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Here is an 1855 Penny from our collection which shows a youthful portrait, with her hair in a bun with two ribbons. #QueenVictoria

If you are missing Richmond riverside today then here is a lovely colourful engraving from our collection (circa 1840) called 'Richmond Steamer Arriving'. Enjoy the subtle detail of the river's reflections, swirling steam and gliding swans. #museumfromhome #localhistory #richmond

After a sustained campaign by The Richmond Society, the 1887 Anglo Japanese-style Nightwatchman’s Hut in the Terrace Gardens on Richmond Hill has been refurbished. Kudos to Richmond Council @LBRUT.
