The up Sunday Pullman leaving Bradford Exchange on 12 February 1967, D24 in charge.
Scanned from a 6x4.5cm size negative in my collection.
Terracotta panel on the Pacific Exchange building in Hull. The building accommodated brokers trading in oil seed because by the end of the 19th Century Hull had become the largest seed crushing area in the country. The architect for the building was B.S. Jacobs of Bowl Alley Lane, Hull. Above the lower left window is this shield with a date of 1899. However, the building was not open for trading until 1901. The 1899 could well be from when the Pacific Club was formed. I think the traders had to belong the club to make use of the trading floor.
The Exchange was called the Pacific it seems purely because London had the Baltic and Liverpool had the Atlantic Exchanges! Millers, seed crushers, merchants and brokers packed the trading floor, up to a hundred at a time. Traders on the floor wore their hats and none traders had to remove them. When telephones were introduced offers would come from London to 15 trunk phone boxes on one wall along with two others for local calls.
The sketches are about a trip in nord-east of Turkey that I have done last month following a group of photographers. It was really interesting to compare the ideas of pictures with them.

Not a smart move eliminating this crossing place when the area was re-signalled !

Built 1741-1743 by John Wood the Elder in Classical/Palladian style. It is the only surviving 18th Century exchange building in England. The frieze symbolises trade, the Royal Coat of Arms is set in the Tympanum. The clock was installed in 1822, and a second, black, minute hand added later shows Bristol time, about ten minutes later than Greenwich Mean Time /summer time which is shown by the original red minute hand. The distinction was necessary after the arrival of the railways, which had to run to a national "railway time". Four bronze tables on the pavement (one on the far right most visible), with raised edges to prevent coins rolling off, were for merchants to carry out their business. Thence the expression (disputed) "cash on the nail". Two oldest nails are said to be 16th centruy, two newer ones are dated 1625 and 1631. Corn Street, Bristol.
Taken at the entrance to Liverpool's historic city square of Exchange Flags.I thought that black and white helped to emphasize the architecture of this square in Liverpool.

This is a re-edit of a shot taken last year with the original in colour. This black and white style seems to suit the historic Multimedia Exchange building in Middlesbrough. It looks gothic and almost out of an old ghost story
