I've worked at the Science and Industry Museum for 19 years and today was the first time I noticed this stamped onto a windowsill in the 1830 Warehouse.

I'm at the #TextileConf22 at the #ScienceAndIndustryMuseum today. First panel on the collaborative research project #GlobalThreads is fascinating.
