The Bargain Clearance shop. This Victorian shop used to be part of a row of shops on Stoney Lane at the junction with Stratford Road, the buildings on the right were demolished to make way for a new DIY store and appropriate parking. This is now a supermarket and customers are patiently waiting in a "Social Distancing" queue. This small segment of Stoney Lane became a dead end when more shops were demolished on Stratford Road and Highgate Road was continued to form a cross roads lined up with Walford Road. I well remember bus drivers on the Inner Circle 8 route heeling riight then left from Stoney Land across Stratford Road and into Walford Road.
The lady on the poster to the left proves it is impossible to give a "come hither" look whilst imitating a class 56 starting up.

I believe this exit was on the dividing wall, judging by the orientation of the ceiling tiles. But could also be that in the very back, Kmart had turned the tiles in another direction for some reason. I certainly should have paid a bit more attention to this part of the store!

Foto Leistenschneider on Rossmarkt in Frankfurt always has a bargain bin, normally well-filled with old cameras and gear. When I bought some rolls of film there recently, I saw this book and wanted to buy it, but they let me have it for free.
When I saw the book, I immediately wanted it. I mean, how charming is that cover illustration? Oh, and that camera doesn't look bad, either.

The Beano annual caught my eye, fond memories of reading the Beano in my boyhood...and that was far earlier than 1990!
But I reckon that doll is far scarier than the antics of Dennis and Gnasher...Why do some dolls look so sinister? This one looks positively EVIL !
I bought this model at a bargain a couple of months ago. The model was missing the front tender shell, but, otherwise in very good condition overall. It has tarnish that needs to be removed and a nice paint job would finish it. Because it would be impossible to find an original tender shell, I had two options, build my own from scratch, or use a metal cast tender from DJH Models. Normally I would take on the challenge and build my own, but, as it happens, I had a pile of DJH parts for an AD-60 model in my parts bin, so I decided to go that route. The DJH models are essentially glue together, even though they are made of medium temp cast metal. Rather than use glue on a brass model (a big no no in my book), I soldered brass brackets to the underside of the metal tender shell, Drilled and tapped for fastener screws. I still need to do all the clean up of the model to remove the tarnish, but, here are some progress photos of the work so far.
I have been struggling to give creative titles for my pictures recently. Maybe it was work-related as I found myself drained after a day of work lately.
If only I could be as creative as Pit Van Meeffe in naming my pictures!
Not sure why clothes have to have so many labels attached...but these did make me smile - am loving that red sticker...!
When the Cullen-Thompson Motor Company opened for business in 1926, Walter P. Chrysler himself showed up for the occasion. For more than forty years, the building at 1000 Broadway was Denver's source for Chryslers, Plymouths and Dodge. The showroom floor was even more elaborate than the model we have been sharing. Like our model, it has a fancy staircase leading to a mezzanine level where the offices were. It also has elaborate trim on columns and ceiling moulding, like the model. Each window arch has stained glass renderings of the Chrysler, Winged-wheel.
In 1971, the building became home to Gart Brothers Sporting Goods. It is under that name the place became a Denver legend as the "Sports Castle", complete with rooftop Tennis courts. A large part of that legend was built around the annual SNIAGRAB Sale, held every Labor Day Weekend. People camped out on the sidewalk, waiting to be among the first to comb through all the sporting equipment the Garts had collected for the sales event.
"SNIAGRAB" is bargains spelled backwards.
When the Gart family grew old, a group of Englewood, Colorado investors bought the business and it became Sports Authority. You may remember Sports Authority as the second sponsor name to be attached to Mile High Stadium, after the first company to buy the naming rights, Janus Funds, went bankrupt. It did not take long for the Mile High Stadium curse to catch up with Sports Authority and they were gone in July of 2016.
Since about 2019, three different developers have submitted plans for the location. Two backed out but there is still one plan to develop the parking garage, north of the Castle into a 16 story tower. It is unclear whether or not the castle will survive. A friend showed plans that would demolish the place. Hopefully those plans were from one of the companies that pulled out.
The fact that the building is vacant was a big plus for our work. No cars parked out front to worry about. We were able to make a safe place to work by setting up the tables between our parked cars. This helped get the real building close enough to our model building for the scaling to look right.
We were a bit dismayed to find the windows boarded up. We were able to work around that issue with careful placement of the streetcar and the cars inside the model showroom.
Here is hoping, whoever develops the place finds a way to save at least the facade of the building.

Went looking for some good deals around Spitalfield's Market recently without looking for anything in particular. I have found some great bargains in the past but was not so lucky today, still it was fun strolling around having a look especially as I was in a skirt.

Location: Serikin Weekend Market, Sarawak, Borneo
Serikin Weekend Market started in 1992 is located at the border of Sarawak and Indonesia (Kalimantan), Half and hour drive from Kuching City. Vendors from Kalimantan (Indonesia) cross the mountains on motorbikes to sell fruit, electronics, handicrafts, rattan furniture and clothes at this sprawling market, which occupies most of the otherwise quiet border town of Serikin.
Seikin is also known as Kampong Jagoi Serikin by the local.
