Representing a humble duty sometimes performed by erstwhile 'front line' locomotives towards the end of their BR working lives, Bulleid 'Battle of Britain' Pacific 34070 'Manston' in workworn condition heading a small demonstration freight between Ropley and Alresford soon after sunrise. 34070 was officially withdrawn from BR service in August 1964 from Exmouth Junction shed, probably in a similar external condition to its presentation almost sixty years on, and just as remembered during my early-teenage years. A Matt & Warwick photographic charter on 24th February 2024.

Original/experimental panorama was color and 32,000 pixels on the long side. I made some adjustments and brought it down to this size. Stuff has been added to the original photo. It looks like a blast of starting fluid and it might light off. Don't forget to do your pre-trip.

Le port intérieur de Duisbourg (en allemand Innenhafen Duisburg) est un port fluvial situé sur le Rhin. D'une surface de 89 hectares, il était pendant la révolution industrielle allemande un centre important de la Ruhr. À la suite de l'arrêt progressif de l'activité industrielle (notamment sidérurgique et minière), l'activité portuaire a décliné à partir du milieu des années 1960.
En 1989 la reconversion commence avec la construction du Centre international d'expositions d'Emscher Park. L'espace disponible a permis d'autres projets architecturaux et urbanistiques.
Avec quelque 100 projets, l’Exposition internationale IBA Emscher Park — région de la Ruhr — a pour objectif de réaliser des projets modèles d’aménagement pour la reconversion des anciennes régions industrielles, dans le sens d’une « culture de construction » aux niveaux environnementaux, économiques et sociaux.
The inner port of Duisburg (in German Innenhafen Duisburg) is a river port located on the Rhine. Covering an area of 89 hectares, it was an important center of the Ruhr during the German industrial revolution. Following the gradual cessation of industrial activity (particularly steel and mining), port activity declined from the mid-1960s.
In 1989 the reconversion began with the construction of the International Exhibition Center in Emscher Park. The available space allowed for other architectural and urban planning projects.
With some 100 projects, the International Exhibition IBA Emscher Park — Ruhr region — aims to carry out model development projects for the reconversion of former industrial regions, in the sense of a " construction culture " at the levels environmental, economic and social.
Lately, I've been diving into 1960s and 1970's interior design. After looking at old family photos I created this vignette.
The Cadbury's factory bought this to handle wages etc. It was assembled from components weighing 5 tons. I suspect my cell phone can do more than it could however.
These are typical of many plastic brush rollers intended for overnight sets because they are easy to roller, and can be set securly with the included piks to keep them in place.
As with all the vintage roller types I am posting, it would be great to hear your experiences and memories if you ever use(d) these or similar rollers.
A 1959 Austin J2 12-Passenger Minibus; original six-character Yorkshire black plate registration “YWF 528” - first registered around October 1959. According to a local, this minibus was used as a local school and community bus in the 1960s. Spotted in the Driffield area, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Cambridge has to be one of the best places left in the UK to see large numbers of ancient sodium street lighting still in main road use. This elderly 1960s AEI 'Amber' sodium lantern, seen burning a 90w SOX sodium lamp and held aloft on an even older bracket, is typical of the many old street lights to be found in the City. Sadly, all of this will all soon be history, as the City is about to undergo a massive PFI funded street lighting renewal program.

GLC 392, a GP35 built for the Ann Arbor in 1964, leads a short OSTN north at Cohoctah, MI. There are not many places where one can find a locomotive plying the rails it was built for nearly sixty years later. There are even fewer GP35s remaining in 2020, which makes a consist like this a treat.

Apart from the ever present 500, and an occasional elderly 126, it can be quite difficult to see genuinely old cars in Italy, although ones that do linger are often in very original condition. This 1100 definitely looks like a car that has spent many decades near to the sea....
Easter 1975 saw a short break in Dorset and on the drive back to south Wales I called-in to the doomed Bridport station.
Opened in 1857 it was operated by the GWR and then the WR after Nationalisation in 1948. The early 1960s saw closure of the goods facilities and only the poor alternative roads prevented its closure during the Beeching era, but this would all come to an end less than 5-weeks after my visit. The branch joined the Weymouth to Castle Cary line at Maiden Newton and evidence of its existence remains at the junction even now.
This image was taken on Agfa CT18 film on 1 April 1975 and shows a single-unit railcar (Class 121, I believe) awaiting a morning departure back to the mainline, stopping at delightfully named stations such as Toller.
The branch closed on 5 May 1975 and the site is occupied by an industrial estate, I believe.
