I was wondering what to do for this theme and as I walked down the road, there was my answer … the speed limit signs on either side of the road :))
the founder of Canadian Club Whisky built Walkerville, which became part of Windsor in 1935.
People gather in front of the Crown Inn just before the start of Jane's Walk through this former town on May 2.

Excerpt from windsor.ctvnews.ca/bronze-statue-of-hiram-walker-unveiled...:
It’s been nearly 206 years since the birth of Hiram Walker and the community came together Saturday (July 2, 2022) morning to get a glimpse of the monument where a young Walker stands mounted on whisky barrels overlooking the town he built.
“He literally built the buildings and infrastructure that serviced his businesses and in so doing, he built a community,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens.
Hiram Walker lived in Detroit for many of his early business ventures, but took an interest in the region in the mid 1800s, establishing a distillery, farm and flour mill in Canada. He later founded the area now known as Walkerville, which amalgamated with Windsor in 1935, years after Walker’s death.
The monument cost $400,000, half of which was offset by private donors and partly funded through the City of Windsor public art endowment fund.
Artists Mark and Laura Williams were tasked with depicting a younger Walker his in 50s based on a picture supplied by the Canadian Club Brand Centre. That’s how old Walker was when he saw opportunity in southwestern Ontario.
“He’s carrying a set of blueprints of Walkerville, and he’s walking out to make sure everything’s going correctly,” Mark said.
The monument stands at a new parkette named for Walker at the corner of Devonshire Road and Riverside Drive, a stone’s throw to his old distillery and the historic Walker power building.

Day 25 and in 2019 M&Co was one to the top 25 big companies to work for ... so says The Sunday Times.
I didn't have to do any lurking in shadows for this, as I spotted this lady in her Micky Mouse sweater walking towards me, and I had a bit of a rush to get in place.
Excerpt from www.waymarking.com/waymarks/wm10HHX_Canadian_Imperial_Ban...:
The building dates to the early 20th century, when it was a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada. It served Windsor's Distillery District and later Ford City until 1961, when the parent company merged with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, thus becoming a branch of the newly-minted Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
Banking services remained in operation until 7 April, 2017 when all services were shifted to a nearby CIBC branch.
The building currently sits vacant.
Of note is the ghost sign for the old IBC once again visible over the front entrance.

More Music (Devonshire Hall Music Hall), Morecambe. Opened as the Devonshire Hall in 1899, a flat floored music hall with 600 seats in the stalls and 200 in the balcony. The auditorium was at 1st floor level with retail units on the ground floor. The stage was suited for variety - small with no flying - and there seems to have been a first door scene dock door at the rear. After closure the theatre part was converted to a snooker hall, with a false ceiling (possibly the balcony was removed at this point as there is no apparent trace of it now), but has returned as a live music venue. The stage however has recently been removed to create a wide open stage, more suited to the bands. Above the false ceiling, the original roof and part of the proscenium wall survive.

The Millom defence deals unceremoniously with a Skirlaugh player attempting to run the ball out his 25 during a Division One clash in amateur rugby league's Kingstone Press Cider National Conference League. The Hull-based visitors overturned a 16-10 half-time deficit at Devonshire Road to beat Millom 42-28. The game was won and lost between the 45th and 68th minutes, during which period promotion-chasing Skirlaugh, now up to second, ran in five tries. The Woollybacks, with just two wins in 13 league outings this season, remain deep in relegation trouble. Only Halifax area team Elland are below them in the table. Millom, founded in 1873, are the oldest amateur rugby league club in the world.

The Midland Tavern, just on the city centre side of Romsey Town's Mill Road bridge, was a wonderful haven for someone in their late teens in the late 1970s. The room out the back was a pumping reggae disco where I discovered Johnny Osbourne, Prince Far-i, Doctor Alimantado and the Tamlins for the first time. It would cost me a fortune in twelve inch singles over the next few years. Famously described as a sordid Rastafarian den in one pub guide, it retains its Reggae tradition in its current incarnation as the Devonshire Arms - although less sordid today, I understand.

Looking south towards Leicester city centre on the abandoned trackbed of the Great Central Railway Devonshire Road overbridge still stands clear of the sprouting weeds. Beneath Leicester Central's armless Outer Home (?) signal gantry the beginning of the long stretch of viaduct into the station can just be seen.
The line closed to through trains in 1966 & to all trains in 1969 so at this time the trackbed had been disused for 7 years. 36 years later all signs of the railway has been swept away but the industrial building on the left & the houses on Exmoor Avenue on the right remain to locate the scene.
Scroll down on Nigel Tout's excellent website www.gcrleicester.info/html/leicester_demolition_1.html to find a photo of this bridge (& others) being demolished in the late 1970s.

Episode: Diamonds are for Heather (1982 Xmas Special)
Date visited: 2009
Notes: When the episode was filmed, the newsagents was one of a rank of shops (even no's 130-148) in Devonshire Road. One by one, during the last 35 years, they have been converted to domestic accommodation, and there are no shops left now. However the distinctive pillars (with three circles in the middle) between each property survive.

.... this weekend the main shopping road in our town has been closed to traffic and an Anglo-French market has been set up there instead. Sadly the weather has been rather grim with strong winds and heavy rain. I went this morning during a brief sunny spell but was still caught in a downpour !
Such a shame for the poor traders who come over from France for these events and certainly the number of shoppers seemed to be down today. There were lovely fruit and veg stalls like this, cheese and sausage stalls, bread, crêpes made on the spot, tartiflette, olives, jams, etc, etc.
I came home with some beautiful French cheese and a fresh baguette still warm from the trader's mobile oven to finish off our lunch today ..... yum !
