Duke Givens is years into and still passionate about an interesting, community-oriented photography project. From what I saw, he gets his subjects to let him into their lives for intimate portraits. (Unfortunately my snapshot was not well-timed and is not too flattering!)

The decaying ediface of the old Duke of Bridgewater Inn on Newcastle Street in Longport, Stoke-on-Trent.
Sitting close to the Trent and Mersey canal, the pub name honoured the pioneer of canal construction in England the third Duke of Bridgewater. His original canal to ship coal was overseen by James Brindley who then went on to design the Trent and Mersey canal.
This building dates back to the early nineteenth century and was originally home to the master potter of the Bottom Bridge Pottery (New Bridge Pottery) George Phillips. The potbank was located to the right of the house where the entrance to Steelite International can now be seen.
When the potbank was taken over by William Davenport the house became vacant and its use switched to that of a public house replacing the original which was situated beside the canal to the rear of this building, this occurred in the late 1850's.
The potbank was demolished in the 1960's.
This has been vacant for some time now.
This building is grade II listed.
Both the Trent and Mersey canal and the Newcastle Street area are covered by the English Heritage at risk register:

First-year medical students visit the galleries as part of a program co-sponsored by Duke’s School of Medicine and the Nasher Museum. The museum visit is part of a required course called “the practice course,” focusing on doctor-patient relationships. The goal is for students to build their visual and communication skills and learn how to better understand their patients and themselves. Photos by Dr. J Caldwell.
Duke Farms is the estate of James Buchanan Duke, of Duke Power and American Tobacco Company, and inherited by his daughter Doris Duke.
Located on 2,700 acres (11 km²) of farm and wood lands in Hillsborough, New Jersey, the property was opened to the public on May 19, 2012 by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation as "a model of environmental stewardship in the 21st Century and (to) inspire visitors to become informed stewards of the land."
Robert Huber delivers a pitch against UNC Greensboro April 19, 2011 at Jack Coombs Field. As the starter, he went 6.2 innings and gave up two earned runs for a no decision in Duke's 5-4 loss.
Running over half an hour late and in grim conditions for photography, BR 8P "Pacific" No.71000 "Duke Of Gloucester" accelerates northwards through Stafford with the "Salopian" railtour, en-route for Shrewsbury on 5/3/11. Stafford is familiar ground for this loco and it would have been a regular here during it's short career in BR service.

Duke Farms serves as a model of environmental stewardship and inspires visitors to become informed stewards of the land. It is a place of education, enjoyment and research that enhances the environmental health of the region.
These are pictures and examples of my DIY ringflash.
I used a large white plastic bowl, posterboard, some tinfoil on the inner ring, a fluorescent light diffuser and some packaging tape.
I made it very big so that it would work with my Sigma 10mm. It is fired remotely. Most of these shots were at 1/4 power or lower.
Standard Pacific 71000 Duke of Gloucester receives its final overhaul in Crewe Works on 24 September 1961. The loco was the only one of its class as a result of impending dieselisation and destined for early withdrawal. That came over a year later in November 1962 and the loco was stored at Crewe for the next five years for official preservation which never materialised. Sent to Barry scrapyard, preservation did happen and the loco worked on the mainline. Below are some photos of the loco at various stages in its life.

My Misty Blueberry bush hasn't produced any berries since I planted it 4 years ago so I decided it was time to replace it. I went to Flower World and picked up a Duke blueberry bush.
A series of photos taken in the autumn of 1986 at Loughborough of no 71000 Duke of Gloucester.
This was after the restoration of the loco from scrapyard condition whilst being steamed to haul its first passenger train since withdrawal from BR, a special for those who had contributed to the loco's restoration. As I was a student in the area I bunked off with one of the college's Praktica 35mm SLRs and some Ilford 400.........
Duke Street forms one of the main access routes into the town centre from the A590. The buildings to the right are built out of red brick, the first floor windows are proportionately larger than the other floors, these windows also dressed with stonework. Built during the 1870's when the docks and shipyards were growing and expanding. Duke Street is more than likely to have been home to the insurance brokers and associated companies who would have had some connection with Barrow's primary industry.
If you ignore the Town Hall, I think this looks the spitting image of Argyle Street in Birkenhead. Both towns are built on the same industries, and are just as old.
