iPhone 11 Pro & HDR shots of Wapping Road First School & Swimming Pool & next door (on the same site) Wapping Road Boarding School, Wapping Road, Bradford.
Wapping First School was the country's first school with a swimming pool & the pool is (argued to be) the first swimming pool to be built in the country (if this is not the case, it’s certainly one of the first 5). Wapping Road School opened in 1877. The historic pool, which can still be seen fully intact today, although in the basement of an extremely derelict site, measures 14 metres x 5 metres, shallow end 2ft 6 & deep end 3ft 6- so not very long & incredibly shallow, (as can be seen in my photos) & was used by children from schools across the Bradford district who were bussed into Wapping to learn to swim. Wapping School aimed to cater for the educational needs of a close-knit but poor neighbourhood and went on to receive commendation from HM Inspector of Schools.
The school created national & international headlines with the help of education campaigner Margaret McMillan & her partner (LGBTQ+ friendly here!) & her push to improve the life of children in the education & state system. (I believe she was also the person who helped to begin free school meals, as well as kickstart the kind of scholarships that are available for students from families with smaller incomes, to enable them to attend a grammar/ boarding/ elitist school/ college/ university, without having to pay their massive fees).
The Grade II listed building closed as a school in August 2000 & was badly hit by vandalism including a series of fires, with the roof being damaged & most of the interior features destroyed over the years. Many floors are completely destroyed, the roof is non- existent over most of the building & much of the building is now a shell, where there were once multiple floors (basement/ pool, teaching areas & (depending on which building) dorms (for boarding) or storage areas, all the floors are fully exposed, ie, stand at the exterior looking in, you can look down through the ground level to the basement & look up to the sky with nothing but interior walls (some places not even that) between. Much of the main timber support beams have fallen & the interior brickwork warped at terrible (& dangerous angles), existing floors are either support beam only, concrete or just have a few warped floorboards only. It seems only the external stone still exists in much of the building, but to my (non expert) opinion, this is now heavily at risk. Sadly there has been much drug use in the area & especially the area around the exterior & interior of the pool are littered by used needles. (Being disabled I am always very careful, as well as dressing bright clothing, park directly outside & go in there in daylight & never alone, like to prove I am not adding to any antisocial activity in the property, nor do I want to come across any antisocial behaviour myself, especially not at night) I felt unsafe to enter most of this building. Now although I could’ve gone into to the swimming pool area, which being in the basement seemed intact floor wise (concrete & the tiles remained, for what I could see) unfortunately there were so many needles I don’t want to risk it, with it being so dark. There is also the upper floor caving into the pool badly & 1 massive wooden support beam that’s already fallen into the pool area- I don’t want to be in a building collapse! It looks like it would’ve been a terrifying place to learn to swim, with it being in the basement, so dark, narrow, shallow, no doubt freezing in winter & no doubt very echoey, as well as possibly being able to hear the active school day going on above your head! I just hope it was well lit!.
In 2004 plans to convert the building into apartments were approved, but work never began, being Grade II listed but then so badly damaged, most want to demolish & rebuild on the site. I’m led to believe it’s now owned by the neighbouring Life Centre (formerly known as the Abundant Life Church) who would love to make it into teaching areas & accommodation for their ever- growing college education centre, for pastoral studies.
The school building is a big part of Bradford’s Victorian heritage, it was also one of the earliest Board Schools after the 1870 Act. So I do hope they at least managed to save the exterior & the pool areas, there aren’t many pools now that are in basements (or with anything built overhead), but this could work for apartment or a halls of residence type building & the basement location & it’s small size would be more relative to a pool for this purpose & not get overcrowded. I drive by this location twice daily, 6 days per week, (taking Andy to work & bringing him home) so any changes & I can keep you all updated!

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!

More shots from last Saturday at Barnes. This Little Grebe with one of his chicks was so happy to pose for us. He even seemed to be trying to communicate with us by nodding... (in this shot and the one before he's looking at me, such an amazing experience, in the others he's nodding at Gary (ggwildlife) and then to his own chick)

Lasst flickr mal graue Haare wachsen!- Let's make flickr GREY !
Der Protest gegen das selbstherrliche Auftreten von flickr und yahoo ist in dieser Woche sehr erfolgreich verlaufen. Wenn die Protestaktivitäten jetzt nachlassen würden, wäre das ein völlig falsches Signal.
Vorschlag:
Nachdem sich die zunehmend phantasievollen und sehr kreativen Protestbilder einen festen Platz in flickrs werbewirksamen Aushängeschild Explore / Interestingness erobern konnten, könnte nun ein schlichtes, monochromes Grau folgen. Es wird nochmals stundenlanges faven, notes schreiben und kommentare verfassen erfordern, aber alleine die Vorstellung, flickr den Content für eine Weile zu entziehen, der die Seite zu dem gemacht hat was sie ist, sollte eine neue Runde wert sein......
Bitte übersetzen! Und teilnehmen!

**********************************************
The protest against flickrs and yahoos' narcistic behaviour during this past week, has gone a very successful way.
If the protest activities would fade by now, it would be amassive rongly taken signal.
Proposal:
After the accordingly phantastic and very creative Protest- pics were able to claim a safe playe in flickrs promotionally affective "Explore/ Interestingness" feature- sign, now there could just follow a mellow, monocrome grey.
It will - once again- take hours of faving, tagging, writing notes and comments-
but just the imagination of taking the content off flickr for a while, which made the Site to all it is right now, should be worth a second round......

Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

This is doing my nut in.
More specifically, this is the display window on a Roland VM-3100 which was a very early digital mixing console from about twenty years ago.
It usefully provides phantom power, and it was something that we've used in the past to run simple live events in work, but it's always a pain in the arse to get going.
I decided to bring it home to try and finally work the bloody thing out.
I'm struggling.
My boggle at the moment is that the fader for input 8 is controlling the input level on both inputs 1 and 8. The settings say that it shouldn't. When in doubt, reinitialise the desk. I've done that. Still odd behaviour. I've reset the mixer, the programme, the routing, the busses, yet still this oddity persists.
A little Behringer from Gumtree for £25 is starting to look appealing...
By no means a technically perfect image but it does show nicely the behaviour of Spotted Flycatchers. I think the bird being fed is actually the female and not a juv.
Anna Livia, locally known as The Floozy In The Jacuzzi, is a bronze statue now located in the Croppies Memorial Park in Dublin. It was initially located close to MacDonalds on O’Connell Street but in 2001 the statue was removed from O'Connell Street because it did not fit with the planned redevelopment of the area. In late February 2011, partly reworked and refurbished, the statue was relocated to the Croppies Memorial Park next to the Liffey, near Heuston station.
Eamonn O'Doherty's sculpture is based on the character of Anna Livia Plurabelle, who features in James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' as an anthropomorphic representation of the River Liffey. Eamonn O'Doherty said that although he had not wanted the statue removed from O'Connell Street he was pleased with her final destination "This little park is a perfect setting for her. She looks absolutely great," he said. Well I sure that Eamonn is going to be disappointed if he ever decides to visit his creation because the public now has no access to the park which has been closed as a result of anti-social behaviour.

I was up at one of our local churchyards for my walk this morning when I noticed this female Mallard.
She was quacking away and then flew up into a hole in a tree, if she's nesting there I worry about the babies when they hatch.
The pond is just across a fairly busy road if they try to get there.
As spotted in one of our local Morrisons. Little Thomas was desparate for a wiz, we opened the door with some trepidation, an had to fumble our way with a feckless dark blue strip light being less than useless.
I suppose, yes, one way of stopping 'unsociable behaviour' (take your pick) would be to turn all the chuffing lights out.
