....I'm guessing it's probably a 1960's Holdsworth Claud Butler, haven't got a clue what model it is though. I'm led to believe that Claud Butler patented the short wheel base frame (curved rear seat post), would be interesting to know when they were produced from and to. Note the track style rear horizontal drop-outs, and I'm pretty sure it's not the original paint scheme.
The Edinburgh Botanic Gardens contain a number of sculptures.

Josephine Butler nee Grey (1828 – 1906) was a feminist social reformer. In the mid 1800s she fought for opportunities in higher education for women during the period she lived in Liverpool when her husband was the principal of Liverpool College.
Victorian Liverpool had a large number of impoverished women working as prostitutes near the docks and ale houses. Josephine Butler used her compassion and intelligence to contextualise these women's dire situation. She began a campaign for a more equitable socio-economic conditions in which no woman would sense a need to turn to prostitution to avoid starvation. To alleviate the immediate suffering she also founded refuges for their care.

Students from Butler County were among an elite group of 9th and 10th graders from throughout Alabama selected to attend the Alfa Youth Leadership Conference at the Alabama 4-H center in Columbiana April 29-30. The conference was sponsored by the Alabama Farmers Federation, Alabama Farmers Agriculture Foundation, county Federations and Alabama Farm Credit.

Church of St Peter & St Paul, Butlers Marston, Warwickshire. (Marston = a dwelling on marshy land), was occupied in the 7c by the Hwicce people who converted to Christianity about that time
It was held by Baldwin under Edward the Confessor before 1066, and given by the Conqueror with other estates across the Midlands to Hugh de Greatemisnil who gifted two thirds of all the church tithes on his lands to the Norman abbey of St Eroul.
The 1086 Domesday Survey mentions a priest here implying also a chapel which was probably the size of the present nave.. Soon after 1100 Robert Earl of Leicester acquired these estates from Hugh's son Ivo , and Marston was given to his butler Ralph de Boteler who gave the church to his newly founded priory at Alcester c1175. Thus the name changed to Marston Butlers or Butlers Marston.
Also c1175 a narrow south aisle was added which in 14c was widened and the chancel built on its present lines. Alcester priory paid for vicar's to the parish including Miles of Cirencester in 1306 and Philip of Warmington in 1349
The tower was begun c1450.
After the Mid 16c Dissolution of the priory the tithes , vicarage & advowson were in the hands of the Crown until 1553, when it was granted to Thomas Reve and George Cotton, who sold them on to local landowner Richard Woodward whose father John 1555 had already bought the manor.
Richard Woodward took up residence in the old parsonage house providing a home for the vicar in a much smaller property alongside. He and his descendants continued to enjoy the income from the tithes and to choose the vicars for the next 65 years. Richard died in 1602 a wealthy man, having moved to Stratford leaving his brother Thomas to manage the property . By c1615 the woodwards were accused of allowing 6 houses to fall into decay and converting 270 acres from arable to the more lucrative sheep farming. This boded ill for the village and the population dropped.
By 1616 the parishioners were complaining about the state of the vicarage and the smallness of the vicar's stipend paid by the Woodwards which had not risen much since medieval days.
By 1620 Richard Woodward's sons had more or less sold up, the new owners being the Abrahams who had married into their family. From them it passed again by marriage, to Thomas Newsham under whom things went from bad to worse. By 1674 the vicarage had been let to a "poor family" as no vicar could be found willing to serve for such a small stipend. Ten years later the vicarage was said to be about to fall down. In 1691 Newsham agreed to exchange the vicarage and its land with another cottage of far less value, restoring the old vicarage and land for his own use. He then moved to Warwick but still in 1719 was reported by the parishioners for failing to keep the church in good repair.
Help came with £400 from Queen Anne's Bounty to support poorer parishes in 1735 and another £400 by private donation in 1767. Even so the value of the living by 1782 was still ony £20. No resident vicar could be found and the vicarage was now a "ruinous thatched cottage" being let to tenants. Served by the vicar at Kineton, the lack of a resident vicar meant that many a Sunday passed without a service resulting
in the villagers flocking to the alternative Methodist chapel opened in the 1820s
From the 1760s Christchurch college Oxford had begun buying property in the village acquiring the tithes and the right to nominate a vicar. One of its owngraduates , Thomas Littlehayes became vicar and was provided with a new vicarage to live in, by 1839 he started to refurbish the church, doing away with te huge box pews & putting in benches for the poorer folk. He also started a Sunday School. In his zeal for the village's moral welfare he unsuccessfully attempted to prevent the opening of a beershop run by a known poacher and sheepstealer.
In 1866 another graduate George Fuller Thomaas arrived, who enlarged the vicarage , and during his incumbency of 20 years the church was restored by architect Thomas Naden which included entire reroofing, rebuilding the chancel arch, new chancel windows and the additions of a south porch and vestry. (The earlier steeper pitch of the nave roof can be clearly seen) The biggest change was the rebuilding of the nave north wall, thankfully keeping the 17c nave ceiling intact.
By this time only a third of the villagers were still attending the Methodist chapel.
His next 2 successors completed the work and funded the restoration of the tower
The extended vicarage proved to be too big and expensive for the next vicar Samuel Walton Kay who tried by forgery to augment his income , was stripped of his living and sentenced in 1898 to 12 months imprisonment
The tower has 6 bells; Two are medieval, one inscribed "Sancta Katerina ora pro nobis' ; One of 1662 given by William Loggin & William Abraham; Two where made in 1652 by Henry Bagley; . the tenor with a Latin inscription: 'Vox d[omi]ni ihū xp[ist]i vox exultacionis et salutis.' The most recent in 1947
The train stopped for five minutes at these rail yards. I started to wonder if this was Butler Station, and one guy walked up the entire length of the train, hitting all the door buttons trying to get out.
I went completely insane and decided to traverse the city's entire rail network (and the ferry) in one day. These photos are the result.
MAN/Marcopolo
Church Hill, Bentinck
A vehicle in the fleet of Butlers of Kirkby-in-Ashfield I had not caught up with up to this point was PN05CVB, which was new to Holmeswood Coaches. On 4th March 2025 it was seen climbing Church Hill towards Kirkby Cross having just left the company's Bentinck compound to work a contract for Ashfield School Post 16 students.
I took this photograph at a British Rail exhibition of railway engines at Exchange Station, Manchester in 1962. This is the Great Central Railway's 'Butler-Henderson' (named after Eric Butler-Henderson, a director of the company), the only remaining example of the Improved Director (11F) Class locomotive. It was given the number 506 when built at Gorton in 1920 and when the Great Central Railway was incorporated into the LNER in 1923 it was renumbered 5506 (later 2660), then when British Railways came into being in 1948 it was again renumbered as 61660. It is currently shown on their website as being one of the National Railway Museum's locomotives but as being loan to Great Central Railway, possibly at Barrow Hill Roundhouse.
On 11 June 2016, 323221 leaves Butlers Lane on the 0942 Longbridge - Lichfield City. The centre car carries a BTP promotional message.
This is the second time I've made this pattern. It fits like a dream. This time I used an invisible zip - ok - I got my mom to put it in because she was around...
