Some up and some down days, but after yesterday’s reflections on Dr. Ravi from the Letby case I woke up a little down, but grateful at the same time for my nephew who built me up and also the RICS yet again, it is nice that they keep platforming me, I never knew to be a member would have this impact there is no one else like me.

It’s our birthday! ✨ 185 years ago today, Sir George Cayley opened the Polytechnic Institution at 309 Regent Street in London.

Since then, our educational institution has secured its reputation as a place for firsts:

⭐️ We were the first polytechnic in London and one of the first in the UK (1838)

📸 We opened the first public photographic portrait studio in Europe (1841)

📽 We hosted the first public moving picture show in the UK, organised by the Lumière brothers (1896)

🏃 We organised the first marathon race (at the London Olympics) over the now traditional distance of 26 miles, 385 yards (1908)

🎓 We offered the first degree courses in Photographic Science, Photography, and Media Studies (1960s and 1970s)

Here’s to another amazing 185 years!

📷 Thank you to artist Christian Coop for capturing the building where it all began, our iconic Regent Street Campus, so beautifully in your paintings! 👏
