Howdy,
the picture was taken last weekend when the PI (principal investigator)
of our lab, Tobias Egner, invited all of the lab members over for dinner
at his beautiful home in Mebane. After enjoying his home-made lasagne
and excellent Margaritas prepared by his wife, who works at Duke
Hospital's General Surgery, and a few appetizers that the lab members
brought, we did some pumpkin carving. That might not be that special,
but like a lot of other research labs here at Duke, ours too is a rather
international crowd, and for 2 of us the carving was a "first",
including me. Thus, we were extremely proud with the results which are
shown in the picture - and in the background you cam see a few dark
spooky faces of the contributors a.k.a. the Egner Lab.

I am unable to find the exact date for the Estate, but Bagshawes engineering closed in 1972, and the front building burned down in 1978. So 1980's would be a good guess 32 years later it is being demolished for 200 homes.
I surpose they are going to need someone to use the 'Waste Of Money' busway. dunstabelle.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/waste-of-money-busway....

Memorial to HRH Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900) and HRH Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-1884) By HRH Princess Louise (1848-1939).
Erected by a sorrowing sister to the memory of her two beloved brothers Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh & Saxe-Coburg and Leopold, Duke of Albany.
On 23rd January 1874 Alfred was married in St. Petersburg to Marie, only surviving daughter of Alexander ll of Russia and his wife, Marie of Hesse Damstadt. Thls was the only wedding ceremony of one of her children that Queen Victoria did not attend, and she did not meet the bride until a couple of months after the marriage. Marie was the only Romanov to marry into the British Royal Family.
Leopold suffered from haemophilia and went to the south of France on doctor's orders in February, 1884. He died a month later of a cerebral haemorrhage.

30th July 1900
Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, second son of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, died of throat cancer at the age of 55 at Schloss Rosenau in Coburg, Germany.
On 23rd August 1893, Alfred’s uncle Ernst died, and he became the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He reluctantly had to give up his successful career in the Royal Navy - he was Admiral of the Fleet - to become Duke. He was able to retain his London home, Clarence House (now the London home of the Prince of Wales).
He is buried in the ducal family’s mausoleum in Coburg Cemetery.

He was the third of Queen Victoria's children to die in her lifetime. A fourth, her eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal, Dowager Empress of Prussia died six months after her mother.
"In the case of her youngest son Prince Leopold there was an element of tragedy. He had inherited the disease known as haemophilia or bleeding, so that the slightest little accident, slip or bruise prostrated him for some time. He was generally intelligent but had no particular talents. The Queen’s attitude towards him was one of apparent solicitude in his constant ever recurring illnesses, combined with thwarting and interfering with him when he was well. In 1877 when there was special anxiety about his health she was sympathetic so long as it gave her an excuse for remaining at Balmoral. But when the delay she considered had been long enough then she said: “He must be well enough to travel.” The question continually cropped up as to what he should do. The Queen wrote to her Private Secretary from Osborne, February 21, 1877 :
“Prince Leopold has been working very steadily. The Queen will send boxes down & Gen.Ponsonby will select what is of interest for Leopold to read & make abstracts of. He is getting much quicker at it.”
He took an intelligent interest in foreign affairs but was unfortunate and indeed became mischievous in some of his interferences in politics. So when the Queen told Ponsonby to give him work, he really did not know what to do because the Prince had no powers of concentration or of mastering any subject. But when Leopold wanted to do something himself he was often prevented. The Queen stopped him from being a captain of Volunteers in 1872 although the Prince of Wales was in favour of it. When in 1875 he agreed to receive the Freedom of the City, she wrote at once to the Lord Mayor to cancel the invitation. In 1883 the question arose as to whether Prince Leopold’s desire to go to Canada should be acceded to. Lord Granville wrote expressing doubt but asking what the Queen’s view was. Ponsonby telegraphed back : “ At first surprised and dead against it somewhat more softened now but by no means advocating it and stands entirely aloof”. Even in his private affairs, when the Prince wanted to shoot or to go about socially and have some fun, the Queen’s supervision stopped it. Sir Thomas Biddulph’s assistance was enlisted to lecture him. To this Sir Thomas very much objected. In June 1878 Ponsonby writes :
“It is awkward talking to Leopold in the sense the Queen wishes as I do not in the least agree with her. She has laid down absolute rules for what he is to do, coming such a day and going such a day never to dine out or to go to a club - to come to Osborne in July and leave it the day the - Regatta begins and all in that strain. I cannot support such a system and for one thing know it is useless to try it on. Will the Queen never find out that she will have ten times more influence on her children by treating them with kindness and not trying to rule them like a despot?”
That Leopold chafed under this treatment is not to be wondered at. He must have cursed the illness which tied him by a chain to his mother. In 1882 as Duke of Albany he married Princess Helen of Waldeck and Pyrmont, a sister of the Queen of Holland. She is the single instance quoted in the letters of a member of the family who refused to write to the Queen when there was any trouble, refused to send messages through an intermediary and insisted on confronting her face to face In one quoted instance the interview must have been lively as after it the Duchess of Albany did not appear at the Queen’s table but dined alone with her husband. When the Duke of Albany died in 1884 there was a great outpouring of grief and lamentation, in which can be detected the note of resentment at having another of her children taken from her. "
