The famous twin-engined "Sunbeam 1000hp" that was also known as Mystery, and less pleasantly as The Slug, took the land speed effort up a notch.

In 1927 at Daytona Beach, Henry Seagrave drove Mystery to 203mph to take the land speed record.

Having sat in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu for decades, it has been subject to a nut and bolt restoration to full working order and, at the time of writing, to travel to the USA in August 2026 for the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and to celebrate the centenary of Seagrave's record, Mystery will perform a low-speed run at Daytona Beach on 29 March 2027.

I attended a tour of Halifax market which took in the Streets in the Sky above Halifax Borough Market, one of the town’s most unusual hidden histories. Halifax Borough Market was completed in 1896, after work began in 1892, and it replaced an earlier Georgian marketplace on the same site dating back to 1790. The terraced houses above the market were originally built for market traders and workers, so they could live directly above where they worked. Today, those houses are all vacant, which makes the rooftop streets feel even more like a preserved slice of history. If I had a Time Machine I’d love to go back 200 years to see what it truly was like.

The collection include photos by Magnum founders Robert Capa and David "Chim" Seymour. The exhibit was curated by Anna-Patricia Kahn.

Zwischen 1317 und 1340 wurde dieser Kreuzgang im gotischen Stil an die Kathedrale, die Sé de Évora, angebaut, um den Konvent zu vervollständigen, der auch an diesem Ort existierte. Dieser Blick aus dem Kreuzgang zeigt die Türme der Kathedrale.
