Here's a fascinating bit of local history (HT @philp-dimparcio.bsky.social) telling the story of the Ringway Estate in Neston, the Wirral - from temporary housing built for WW2 munitions workers to squatters' camp to a distinguished architect-designed council estate.

In his 60 yrs of performing, Bob Weir played nearly 5,000 shows. A truly legendary number that puts him up there with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan & B.B. King. Factoring in the length of his shows, mostly 2 sets & 3 hrs, he's was an epic live music road warrior.
Rest easy now Bobby.
