Was a huge pleasure to work with our @VCH_Cumbria colleagues on this fantastic book. The very rainy February day I spent in Burton-in-Kendal will have been totally worth it when this 250th volume of @VCH_London arrives!

We've just approved the artwork for the cover label of our next #BigRedBook - our 250th, and our first ever publication for the county of #Westmorland.
Crop from the front cover of a book. The book is red with an off white label. On the label, in black, is a shield with three lions and the following text: The Victoria History of the Counties of England A History of the County of Westmorland Volume I Lonsdale Ward
