In 1911, the family was living at 85 Arthur Street in Derby, with Benjamin working as a gas office clerk.

“John Dunn. The first religious service was held in Mr. Dunn's hut and the first Sunday-school in his mill. The first church in Mount Barker was built of slabs. It had earth for a floor and bags for windows. The dwelling was also used for a store. At the opening service, conducted by a Primitive Methodist minister.” [Aust Christian Commonwealth 10 Nov 1911]
“There is under actual engagements and to be finished immediately, a neat brick chapel for the Primitive Wesleyan Methodists, a house for the minister, of the same material; and the Rev. Mr Storr is to reside there, and make it a branch mission station.” [Register 27 Jan 1847]

My DVD collection is a shrine to comedy. I have some wonderful shows with stars such as Sir David Jason, Ralf Little, Matt Lucas, Will Mellor, Ricky Tomlinson & David Walliams. But none can hold a candle (four perhaps?) to the late great Ronnie Barker. From the stuttering Arkwright to the cynical Norman Stanley Fletcher, his work is timeless, brilliant and deliriously funny. God bless him!

There is a old photo of the Fire Station at the site. The indented rectangle was where the bell hung. Just above the inscription about D H Barker were the words " Fire Station "

Mr. Barker rests in a beautiful cemetery in Sewanee, Tennessee, on the grounds of the University of the South.
Interesting grave marker, isn't it?
I don't remember whether that's natural rock under the metal marker, or the base of a prior destroyed headstone that was surmounted by the metal. Memory gaps happen when you have a really large backlog of cemetery photographs to process and post *sigh*
I made a memorial for him on Find A Grave:
Gran - Elsie Barker aged 9.
Taken in Southport on 25th August 1895.
I Think this type of picture is a tintype.
The only video footage I took yesterday - I had big plans of shooting a bunch of stuff with both my camera and the iPhone... yeah... that's all I got.
You can tell the craziness - Ouzo was still dry and desperately searching for a ball while attempting to mark as many places in the shortest time possible.
Those colored backpacks are the goody bags everyone got after paying $6/dog entrance fee. Bit annoying to carry around but I just managed to swing mine behind my camera backpack and then forgot I was carrying it.
