A simple shot of the sun setting behind the Humber Bridge . It was taken on the North Bank of the Humber looking inland
Dedicated to Mr Albert Finney who recently died . A great English actor who in the 1960 film Saturday Night and Sunday morning finally busted the myth that we all talked like the cast of Brief Encounter . Finally the camera went into a place where people actually worked. Nottingham is not actually in the North but people in the south thought i it was and it looked scary.
I have no idea if “ Saturday Night and Sunday morning “ crossed the Atlantic it might have been a little too realistic in 1960 .
I attach a youtube video of the first two minutes of the movie . In them Albert Finney who was playing Arthur Seaton says two unforgettable lines
“ Don't let the bast**** grind you down “ and “ What I was out for was a good time all the rest is propaganda “
Goodnight Albert

It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.
The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.
The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.
To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.
Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.
Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.
Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.
Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.
Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.
Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.
Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.

‘Wideside’ was the equivalent of the ‘Fleetside’ designation utilized by GMC’s corporate cousin Chevrolet for their trucks.
The next vehicle over appears to have a load of hay in its bed.
Happy Truck Thursday!
The Bonneville nameplate was introduced as a limited production performance convertible during the 1957 model year, its name taken from the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah — an early site of US auto racing and numerous world's land speed record records.
Photos during a walk from Severn Tunnel Junction station to Chepstow on 30 April 2024.
This is the newest (1996) crossing of the Severn Estuary linking Wales with England, on the far bank.
The first crossing was completed in 1879, a rail bridge between Lydney and Sharpness (both in Gloucestershire, England), but this was demolished in 1967 after severe damage in 1960.
The second crossing was the Severn Tunnel of 1886, whilst the third was the road suspension of 1966.
The bridge shown was named the Prince of Wales Bridge in 2018, a calculated insult to those in Wales who object to rule by the English. The so-called Prince of Wales is English!
At the front, the double-rounded headlights were separated by a wide, pined-out, chromed grille. The sculptured side panels featured chromed slats emphasizing the sporty look of the car.

Mid 1950's Simplex Automatic
Simplex was founded by Paul Treen (father of United States Congressman and Louisiana Governor David Conner Treen) in New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 1920s with an initial investment of $25.00 Treen had been a dealer in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had pitched them the idea of making a lightweight motorcycle for young riders. When Harley-Davidson rejected the idea, Treen decided to enter the market himself and designed his Servi-Cycle. The Simplex Servi-Cycle was introduced in 1935.
Although Simplex Manufacturing Corporation produced motorcycles for over 20 years, the last Simplex Automatics looked almost the same as the company's original 1935 Simplex Servi-Cycle motorcycle. Paul Treen would often visit the factory's tool shop and work with the engineers on new ideas himself, resulting in continuous improvements to Simplex products instead of annual new model introductions.
The two-stroke engine had a rotary valve and an "overhung" crankshaft with only one main bearing. A kick-starter was added by 1953.
Western Auto sold Simplex motorcycles under the Wizard brand in the mid-1950s.
Simplex's minimalist philosophy was maintained throughout the company's history, whose designs changed little after 1935. By the 1950s Simplex's designs were primitive, leading to the end of Servi-Cycle and Automatic production in 1960. Simplex continued to make minibikes and karts using proprietary small engines until 1975, when Simplex went out of business. Treen had sold the company three years earlier, in 1972
This beautiful red 1960 built MG A 1588cc sports car was originally left-hand drive and exported to California. The car later came back to the UK, switched to right-hand drive and registered FSK 302 in January 1991. Seen today at the Classic Motor Hub during a driving and camping tour of the Cotswolds. The boot is packed with camping gear!
