Fuji X-E2 plus pancake lens. These are just a few of these charming 1930s semi-detached homes. Millions, I would think, had been built. And I once lived in one of them - and did enjoy it. Yes, they were mass-produced and standardised, in that respect they are repetitive and predictable. Not predictable is who is living in these homes. Neither can you know whether there will be more of these 1930s on the left or the right of the image. Predictability has its limits.

Excerpt from jproc.ca/haida/40mm_bofors.html:
The Bofors 40 mm gun, is an anti-aircraft cannon designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. It was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II and used by most of the western Allies as well as some captured systems being used by the Axis powers. A small number of these weapons saw action as late as the Persian Gulf War.
These 40 mm, Bofors anti-aircraft guns were installed between 1946 and 1947, on top of the original twin 20 mm OERLIKON power mountings. This was an RCN innovation. The mounting operated hydraulically, with the fluid being supplied by the pumps forward of the after funnel on the Bofor deck, and aft of the helm at the Emergency Steering position. The mounting moved in response to the movement of the fire control "joystick". These guns used to have a Mark II Gun sight, but they are missing.
The design of the gun is such that it had a very high rate of fire due to the fact that the vertical block in the breech, opened upon recoil of the gun, so that the casing was ejected almost immediately after firing. This resulted in a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute. The rounds were loaded into the breech in "clips" of four and by a crew of four. They were: Trainer/Aimer, Breechworker, Layer, and Loader. The ammunition used was high explosive, and was not fused. The gun could elevate to 70 degrees, and could depress to 0 degrees which allowed it to be used against close in surface contacts which were below the arc of fire of the twin 4 inch guns. The Boffins was very useful in Korea for blowing up floating mines.
HAIDA was fitted with the Mk VII Bofors. In Wikipedia, Mk VII is defined as "a single barreled, hydraulically powered mounting that superseded the Mark III and entered service in 1945.
The house has been redecorated many times since 1937 but, behind the bath panel, a few flakes of original paintwork remain. Pastel shades clearly weren’t the fashion in 1937!
Thanks for looking.

Millions of these houses were built in Britain from around 1930. They were "modern" (the bathroom was inside) and usually had two bedrooms upstairs and downstairs lounge, reception and a small kitchen. They also came with a piece of garden. Getting one of these was a dream for many people on modest income. They still are attractive, particularly when modernised, and much preferable to some of the newly built houses. Sony A7iii.

Did an Urbex trip into Detroit recently.
4 years and counting, since this #cocacola ghost sign was revealed when the building next to it was torn down. I figured the sign was from the 1930s. Slowly the building is falling apart with graffiti showing up inside the structuring. Not sure what those red painted areas are, since they did not exist four years ago. Maybe someone painted over some offensive tagging.

Happy day-trippers from Leicester - including my future mother-in-law - ride on the 2ft gauge Lilleshall Abbey Woodland Railway behind steam-outline, petrol engined Baguley 1759 built in 1929.
"See Lilleshall and see the thrill of living."
That was the boast made in a brochure for "lovely Lilleshall" in the days in the 1920s and 1930s when Lilleshall Hall and its grounds were turned into a sort of cross between Trentham Gardens and Alton Towers.
The railway was shut down for the war in 1939 and never reopened. The loco languished in a shed until being bought in 1952 by Alton Towers, where it ran on the miniature railway there. No. 1759 was the second loco on the line & survives today on the Old Kiln Light Railway at the Museum of Rural Life in Surrey.

Twin-cam hemi-head engine with alloy pistons and rods and an output of up to 70bhp with an extra carburettor and raised compression, Made almost entirely in England and bodied by a variety of coach builders. Produced in separate batches of 25 to a total of around 250. The Sports model had a 2 inch lower radiator than the non-Sport. Originally the head lamps had a mechanical dip function on only one light with a fixed reflector in the other when the dip was used the other lamp switched off. The engine is not supercharged the apparent supercharger is in fact the Rotax Dynastart. Which is directly coupled to the crank and is always rotating at engine speed.
