Ending the year on a high by eating literally all of curator Clare’s mince pie pastries in one sitting.

Fun fact! Shoes didn’t have lefts and rights for a really long time ????

Who knew.

(Shoe historians, presumably)

These ones are from the 1780s-90s, and live in our artefact store at Leeds Discovery Centre.

Asked our curator Kat what was being photographed here and she said:

‘A cash register from 1900-1920. It’s so hot.’

And that’s the kind of thing you get emailed when you work in museums.

Anyway, we’ve had a gorgeous day taking photos - and taking photos of taking photos - of objects heading for our Money Talks exhibition @LeedsCityMuseum this February ????

Also pictured is a Chinese sword charm from 1880-1910, used to deter evil influences, and an English tally stick from 1706. Transactions were recorded as notches, and they were used up until the early 1800s.

(Much) more on those later.
