14th century blind arcade, executed in hard chalk, or clunch, now very worn but once of great status and beauty.
There has been a Church in Upchurch since about 1100 although the current building dates mainly to the 13th & 14th century. Sir Francis Drake's father was vicar here in the sixteenth century. The church is known for its odd shingled spire, a little like that at Bexley. It is four-sided to start with and suddenly changes into an octagon a third of the way up. It was once believed that the distinctive shape was chosen to serve as a navigational aid for shipping on the river, but as similar shaped spires are known elsewhere, far from rivers or other places requiring navigation aids, this is no longer thought to be true. There seems to be no structural reason for this change and it may purely be for decorative purposes.
Inside the church there is much work of the thirteenth century including three sedilia which, unusually, stand under the arch to the south chapel. The arch is finished by a very crisply carved head (possibly too crisp - it may result from Blomfield`s restoration of the church in 1875). Behind the sedilia, separating the seats from the chapel, is a charming wooden screen, with nine tall ogee-headed arches and a panel of pierced trefoils and quatrefoils. Both north and south chapels contain fragments of medieval glass while in the north chapel you may find a collection of medieval tiles, including one that shows a hunched figure with a staff and hat - possibly representing a pilgrim.
Under the church is a small crypt (a charnel house) where bones were kept when the churchyard was full. It was discovered in the late 19th century and the bones re-interred.
Hands up those who agree that this is silly, the idea is good but what use is it to point the receptacle towards the road, it wants to be pointing towards the pavement, to see it at the moment you have to be standing in the road, which is where I was when I took this image :-s
1942 Lincoln Continental Convertible
The Continental was the brainchild of Edsel Ford and the design was executed by Ford's chief stylist, Bob Gregorie. It was introduced in 1940 as an exclusive, luxurious, hand-crafted automobile for the status conscious consumer.
The 1942 Continental's front end design was a major design departure from the 1940-41 models. The model also got a larger 306cid V12 engine with 130hp which is 10 more than earlier models. 1942 is also the rarest of all Continentals; it was in production for only a few months due to the outbreak of World War Two, which resulted in a shutdown of the U.S. auto industry. Only 136 Cabriolets were built out of production that totaled only 336 units in all in the short year before civilian automobile production ended.
The early Continental was recognized by the Museum of Modern Art as one of eight automotive 'works of art' and by Time magazine as one of the top ten best-designed commercial industrial products of all time.
This very rare Cabriolet benefits from a recent thorough restoration and remains clean and kempt throughout. Painted a deep glossy blue, the interior is an attractive dark navy color that complements the tan cloth top. This low mileage example is furnished with white wall tires, matching tonneau cover, radio and heater. The 3-speed transmission is equipped with overdrive to lower engine rpm during highway driving. Recognized as a full classic by CCCA, an AACA first place winner! Here is a rare opportunity to own an absolutely gorgeous and accurately restored Continental; 1 of only 136 examples ever constructed!
* Thoroughly restored to show quality!
* Gorgeous hand-crafted styling!
* A very rare find!
This morning (Friday 23 August) police in Rochdale executed two warrants in the Freehold neighbourhood as they continue their relentless pursuit of those intent on causing harm to the local community.
Three men aged 14 – 54, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs. They remain in police custody for questioning.
Following a thorough search of the addresses, significant quantities of class A and B drugs were found, with an estimated street sale value of £51,000. We also seized several weapons, including two samurai swords, and several items consistent with a significant drugs operation.
This is the latest activity which comes under the district’s Operation Affect, the force’s latest Clear, Hold, Build initiative. Police are systematically dismantling and disrupting organised crime in the area, by pursuing gang members and criminals to clear the area, holding the location to prevent criminals exploiting the vacuum created by the original disruption, and working with partners and Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) to build a prosperous and resilient community.
So far, the team have made 36 arrests, secured three full closure orders on nuisance properties linked to criminality, and seized large quantities of cash, drugs, and weapons.
Building on a successful community event held earlier this year, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) are working with local residents and partners to design out crime in Freehold and rebuild a stronger community.
The overall investment is anticipated to be around £5M and will keep residents safer and improve the overall look of the local area, including providing higher quality common areas and improving the condition of the buildings.
Inspector Meena Yasin, who is leading Operation Affect, said: “Since launching this operation we’ve seen a real concerted effort to disrupt illegal drug supply in the Freehold area of Rochdale.
"From speaking with residents, we know that drug dealing, and anti-social behaviour has been a particular area of concern for them.
“The seizures this morning means we have been able to take tens of thousands of pounds worth of illicit and harmful products off our streets and dismantle a significant drugs operation which has been blighting our residents.
“Our officers remain in the area to provide a visible reassurance for residents. If you have any concerns or want to share information about suspicious behaviour in the area, please speak to them, they are there to help you.
“You know your community best, and your intelligence often forms a large and crucial park of our criminal investigations, helping us to remove criminals from the streets.”
Hayley Stockham, RBH Director of Neighbourhoods, said: "We have zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour and criminal activity in our neighbourhoods. We're very grateful to the local community for supporting our joint efforts to stamp out this behaviour.
“We will continue to work closely with our partners in the Police and at the Council, and we know that this is making a significant difference to the lives of local people. We encourage members of the community to continue to report crime and anti-social behaviour to RBH and to the Police.”
If you have any concerns about drugs in your area, let us know via our Live Chat function on our website, or by calling 101, so that we can take action.
Always dial 999 in an emergency.
Alternatively, you can report it to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

This morning (Thursday 29 May 2025), our Challenger Team in Bolton executed four simultaneous warrants as the crackdown on drugs and anti-social behaviour continues.
Officers from our Specialist Operation department such as the Tactical Aid Unit, Drone Unit and the Stolen Vehicle Examination Unit joined district Neighbourhood officers as they descended on addresses in the New Bury area.
Strikes were conducted at properties on Fairfield Road, Moorside Avenue, Parkfield Avenue and St Gregory’s, with three people – two men in their 50s and 30s, and a female in her 40s - being arrested on suspicion of drugs offences.
While searching these locations, we recovered a quantity of Class A, B and C drugs, a number of stolen vehicles and multiple electronic bikes.
Challenger is Greater Manchester’s partnership response to serious and organised crime. It is made up of a variety of agencies that work together to disrupt and dismantle individuals and networks from committing serious crime.
This includes those who run drug lines, exploit people for financial gain, those who buy and use firearms, and launder money they make from their criminality.
PC Gregory from the Bolton Challenger Team said: “This morning our officers executed four warrants at separate addresses across Bolton as part of our ongoing commitment to tackling drugs and anti-social behaviour in our communities. These coordinated operations demonstrate our continued determination to disrupt criminal activity and send a clear message to those involved in the drug trade.
“We take drug dealing extremely seriously because we see firsthand the devastating effects these substances have - not only on individual users and their families, but on the wider Bolton community and Greater Manchester as a whole.
“We will pursue every line of enquiry vigorously and relentlessly, our message to drug dealers and those involved in related criminal activity is clear: we will not stop until we get these offenders off our streets and into our custody cells where they belong."
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

Today (Friday 10 November), Operation Vulcan executed warrants at premises on Bury New Road, shutting down and seizing half a million of pounds worth of counterfeit items.
Police warnings seem to have fallen on deaf ears for some counterfeit operations in the area. Attempts to re-open and profit from the Christmas sales however continue to be detected and swiftly shut down.
Thanks to intelligence from the Cheetham Hill Neighbourhood Team (who remain in the area with the Vulcan team and conduct daily patrols in the community), Operation Vulcan were able to execute these warrants just days after witnessing customers walking down Bury New Road with bags of fake goods.
Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers, said: “These results today demonstrate just how important it is that Operation Vulcan remain in the area. The criminals operating here are so brazen, the minute they think they spot an opening, they’re back up and running as though it’s business as usual. We’re here to show them that this isn’t the case, and we will not stop until these illegitimate shops are eradicated and those responsible are locked up.
“I hope this is a warning that no matter how many times you try to reopen, we will continue to seize your belongings and profits, making sure none of this money can make its way back into the criminal market.
Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council said: "Over the past 12 months we have achieved a great deal through Operation Vulcan. Through our partnership with GMP gangs have been run out of Cheetham Hill and people have been allowed to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.
"But the work will go on. We know these gangs are tenacious and that criminals will always find ways to circumvent the law. The Council's Trading Standards will remain vigilant throughout the Christmas period to make sure that dangerous or harmful goods do not make their way in the hands of the public."

I began to execute this for inclusion in Harry's Christmas Colouring Competition grope (sic) I executed the execution for the sake of my own sanity.
I started off thinking I would do a Damien Hirst (reg T M) style spot (or dot) picture (copyright). I may still cut one in two and put it in a tank of formaldehyde.
My other idea was to put it onto the side of one of my photographs of tents from my Waxham sets but I need to first canvas opinion about this.

Theory Of A Deadman - The Last Song
The light that's in your eyes, like everyone wants it to be
Well can't you see that it must be this way
Who knows who's wrong or right, just as long as you're here tonight
Just like my mother, always taking my likings away
When nobody's watching us
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there
I miss the love, I miss the holidays
I miss my best friend, cheap cigars, stupid kids and movie stars
And just like my father, always taking my likings away
When nobody's watching us
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
Why does it feel like this world is just not for us
Why does it feel like this world's all they've got for us
Why does it feel like nobody's watching us
I missed her sweet smell, I miss it everyday
I miss my best friend, cheap cigars, stupid kids and movie stars
And I missed the last song and I miss you
And this time this one's for us
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I missed the last song
I missed the last song
I missed the last song...

Built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the prison by the British and in 1923 by the Irish Free State. It is now a museum.

Dante's Divine Comedy has always enjoyed favor in the plastic arts. Ugolino, the character that galvanized peoples' fantasies and fears during the second half of the nineteenth century, appears in Canto 33 of the Inferno. This intensely Romantic sculpture derives from the passage in which Dante describes the imprisonment in 1288 and subsequent death by starvation of the Pisan count Ugolino della Gherardesca and his offspring. Carpeaux depicts the moment when Ugolino, condemned to die of starvation, yields to the temptation to devour his children and grandchildren, who cry out to him:
But when to our somber cell was thrown
A slender ray, and each face was lit
I saw in each the aspect of my own,
For very grief both of my hands I bit,
And suddenly from the floor arising they,
Thinking my hunger was the cause of it,
Exclaimed: Father eat thou of us, and stay
Our suffering: thou didst our being dress
In this sad flesh; now strip it all away.
Carpeaux's visionary composition reflects his reverence for Michelangelo, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism. Ugolino and His Sons was completed in plaster in 1861, the last year of his residence at the French Academy in Rome. A sensation in Rome, it brought Carpeaux many commissions. Upon his return to France, Ugolino was cast in bronze at the order of the French Ministry of Fine Arts and exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1863. Later it was moved to the gardens of the Tuilieries, where it was displayed as a pendant to a bronze of the Laocoön. This marble version was executed by the practitioner Bernard under Carpeaux's supervision and completed in time for the Universal Exposition at Paris in 1867. The date inscribed on the marble refers to the original plaster model's completion.

Visual projects executed by Vicenza High School students are on display near VHS teacher Lisa Balboni’s Honors 10 World History class.
This year’s Honors 10 World History class project was called The Swerve.
About 30 students working in pairs used different creative ideas to show how historical events tie into one other. The project started with Dark Ages and ended with the French Revolution, analyzing political, economic and social change from the 16th to the 18th century.

CEA Project Logistics recently executed a project for the Nissan Motor Company which involved the transportation of factory parts with a total weight of 5,200 tons.
The factory parts arrived by ship at Laem Chabang Port and were unloaded by the vessel onto the dock below. Two CEA 50 ton cranes were then used to lift the parts on to three different types of trailer Flatbed, Lowbed and Multi Axle, this was due to the cargo being oversized and varying in weight. All cargo was secured with ratchet straps and transported to the CEA yard in Laem Chabang for two weeks storage until delivery date.
Upon delivery date the same configuration of trailers made the 82km journey to the Nissan facility in Samut Prakan. As these parts were oversized cargo CEA employed the services of the local Highway Police for a full escort to ensure safety to all road users.
La fontaine de l’Encelade fut exécutée en plomb par Gaspard Marsy entre 1675 et 1677. Le sujet en est emprunté à l’histoire de la chute des Titans, ensevelis sous les rochers de l’Olympe par les dieux qu’ils avaient voulu détrôner. Le sculpteur a représenté le géant Encelade à demi englouti sous un amoncèlement rocheux, luttant contre la mort et dont la souffrance se traduit par le puissant jet qui s’échappe de sa bouche, comme un cri. Le dessin du bosquet, dont le pourtour est scandé par des pavillons de treillage reliés par des berceaux, a été totalement modifié en 1706 par Jules Hardouin-Mansart qui transforme cet espace fermé en carrefour ouvert en supprimant les treillages, les petits bassins et la dénivellation d’origine. Un programme de restauration mené de 1992 à 1998 a permis de restituer à ce bosquet son aspect d’origine. (Source : les Bosquets - château de Versailles)
The Enceladus Fountain was made of lead by Gaspard Marsy between 1675 and 1677, and was inspired by the legend of the fall of the Giants in Greek and Roman mythology. Punished for trying to climb Mount Olympus to dethrone the gods, they were buried under a heap of rocks, as illustrated here by the figure of Enceladus, whose suffering is conveyed by the powerful water jet gushing out of his mouth like a cry of pain.
Early yesterday morning (Tuesday 8 April) officers from our Operation Vulcan team executed a warrant in Derker as they continue to tackle crime in the area with their dedicated initiative.
As police searched the house, they recovered around one thousand pounds worth of cannabis.
In the garage, police also located two off road bikes and a surron bike which will be seized as they continue with their relentless pursuit of tackling crime and anti-social behaviour which is being committed using the e-bikes.
A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs. He remains in police custody awaiting questioning.
The problem-solving approach by Operation Vulcan is seeing us work collaboratively with partners, act on community information to reduce crime, and tackle the root causes to prevent further harm.
Since launching the operation in March, the team have made almost 30 arrests,
seized a dozen vehicles and e-bikes, and busted drug lines.
Sergeant Joseph Dunne from Operation Vulcan said: “Throughout the day officers will remain on patrol to offer a visible reassurance to residents. They will also be conducting a traffic operation in the area to target anti-social driving and vehicle crime, and a knife arch will be stationed at the Derker tram stop.
“We hope that residents are already seeing and feeling a difference in the area, and our proactivity will not stop. This is another great result for the local operation, and I am sure plenty more will come thanks to the intelligence we are receiving from the public and our partners who are fed up with criminals operating in the area.”

Sanford executes the Firefly Pose, or Tittibhasana, considered to be one of the more difficult poses to master. Later he would break his leg while pushing his body too hard.
Grilles exécutées par Jean LAMOUR ( Nancy 1698 - Nancy 1771 ), serrurier de Stanislas Leszczynski qui utilise l’ancienne église de la Primatiale comme un vaste atelier de forge pour réaliser, en collaboration avec l’architecte Emmanuel Héré, les magnifiques grilles rehaussées d’or de la Place Stanislas à Nancy.
Manually executed algorithmic procedure: using a simple L-system to generate a tree structure, I drew the tree structures as nested rectangles and then pruned certain "branches." The code was run in my head, so to speak, but that was part of the process of moving it over to Processing.
This carefully executed head is of greatest interest for the headgear. The familiar helmetlike cap has on it the body of a bird. The animal's head is just above the man's forehead, the wings extend to either side, and the tail ends just before the projection at the top of the cap. In ancient Greece and Cyprus, the integration of whole animals or expressive parts into dress or armor was a frequent occurrence. Herakles with the lionskin is perhaps the foremost example. The priest, 74.51.2466, has a bull's head at the top of the cap. One wonders whether the individual depicted here was mortal or whether, conceivably, he might represent a special variant of Hermes, the messenger god whose travels were expedited by his winged shoes and cap.
Mary, Queen of Scots (born 8 December 1542) was executed at Fotheringay Castle, Northamptonshire on 8th February 1587 (new style). (At the time of the execution England used the Julian Calendar so the date was 8th February 1586 for those that lived at that time. This is because New Year’s Day used to be 25th March. The first time that the 1st January was a New Year’s Day in Ireland, England or Wales was 1st January 1753.)
Mary’s body was brought from Fotheringay in a securely sealed lead coffin under cover of darkness. She received a State Funeral according to the Rites of the Church of England on 1st August 1587. The funeral was unusual in that no comment was made as to how Mary had happened to die.
In 1603 Elizabeth I died. Mary’s Son James VI, King of Scots became James I, King of England & Ireland.
In 1612 James VI & I ordered that his Mother should be exhumed. Mary was then taken and re-buried in a tomb in Westminster Abbey. Mary shares her tomb at Westminster Abbey with her niece Arabella Stuart and around 40 of her descendants including Prince Rupert and 10 of Queen Anne’s Children.
Every Monarch of Scotland, England, Ireland and latterly Great Britain and the United Kingdom crowned in Westminster Abbey since 1603 has been, presently is and is likely to be into the future a direct descendant of Mary, Queen of Scots..
On the 30th January 1649, King Charles I was led onto a scaffold erected outside the Banqueting House on Whitehall to be executed.
For over 50 years, on the last Sunday in January, the soldiers of the King’s Army, the Royalist part of the English Civil War Society, have commemorated this event. The soldiers you see today are all volunteers, and members of the King’s Army, which exists to re-enact the wars of King Charles I and Parliament during the years 1642-1649. Tragically, Charles was eventually defeated and after detention and a show trial, put to death. A black mark on the clock above Horse Guards at 2.00 pm remembers the time of the King’s death.
The Army formed up on the Mal,l and made its way, in funeral order, down the Mall and onto Horse Guards, following Charles’ last route. On Horse Guards, a religious drumhead service was held, a colour was trooped and blessed, the Oath of Loyalty was administered and awards and commissions were presented. The wreath, which ‘Remembers’ His Majestie’s horrid murder, was then trooped around the whole army, before being taken by the honour guard through Horse Guards Arch, and across to the Banqueting House, and laid where the Horrid deed was carried out.
Whilst this takes place the Army removed their funeral dress, and resumed a martial order, before retracing their route back to St James’s Palace with drums beating and colours flying. Here, with great shouts and acclamations to their King, they brave the rebels to come out of the city and fight them in the year ahead.

Kimchi squat - from the 'urban dictionary' :
"Military slang term for the way that 90% of the people of Asia sit. To properly execute the kimchi squat you must be able to touch your buttocks to your Achilles’ tendons while simultaneously keeping your feet firmly planted flat on the ground.
Most Asians can hold this position for hours while waiting on a bus, smoking a cigarette, shooting the shit, or just taking one. "
Officers from South Manchester Challenger executed multiple warrants at addresses across Manchester on Thursday 23 January 2025.
Officers were supported by partner agencies – Tactical Aid Unit, Regional Crime Unit, other Challenger Teams as part of the investigation into class A and B drugs supply across Greater Manchester.
A large quantity of drugs was discovered at several properties, as well as a loaded and viable firearm. All these items have been seized.
The investigation - which was also aided by intelligence passed to us by the community, alongside a meticulous investigation and proactive policing - has resulted in the arrests of five people.
Four men and one woman between the ages of 22 and 37 were all arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A and B drugs. They have all been remanded into custody.
Officers have also seized a large quantity of drugs and other items related to the supply of illegal drugs.
Detective Constable Helen Rutter, of our South Manchester Challenger Team, said: “Today’s warrants and arrests are part of an on-going investigation in relation to distribution and supply of class A and B drugs in and around the South Manchester area.
“Protecting our communities from such criminality means taking a stand against the supply of illegal drugs and firearms. I urge the public to continue keeping this open line of communication with police about criminal activities or expressing their concerns through contacting us directly via LiveChat, speaking to your local neighbourhood officer or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
“Every bit of information, no matter how small, contributes to our investigations across Greater Manchester and could support us in tackling vehicle crime at its root.
"If you have any concerns about crime come and speak to officers or alternatively report through 101 or via LiveChat on gmp.police.uk. Always call 999 in an emergency."
Prison Liaison Officers alongside colleagues from Challenger and Specialist Operations executed two simultaneous warrants in Little Hulton this morning (Thursday 12 December 2024).
The warrants at addresses on Captain Fold Road and Ordsall Avenue, were targeted after an investigation into drones flying contraband including drugs, phones, tobacco, and other illicit items into HMP Hindley, led officers to those properties.
The investigation began on Saturday 28 September 2024 after officers taking part in a proactive operation in Wigan, located a drone heading in the direction of HMP Hindley.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of conveying list ‘A’ items into a prison, however, no drone or contraband were recovered at the time of his arrest.
Officers continued to work through the information they had which led them to two addresses in Little Hulton this morning.
Although no arrests were made, officers did manage to seize a bladed article and a number of mobiles, thought to be in the process of being conveyed into prison.
Constable Fenney from our Wigan district said: "This morning's warrant is just one part of our sustained, strategic approach to combating drug drops via drones and throw overs at HMP Hindley.
“We've been executing targeted operations to dismantle the networks behind these aerial contraband and drug deliveries, but our work doesn't stop here. We're working closely with prison authorities, following up on leads and pursuing those who we believe are responsible for these drops.
“I would like to remind the people of Wigan to continue to report your concerns to us, as all credible reports of information helps us build an intelligence picture to continue with our work of conducting meaningful warrants.
“You can do this direct by calling 101 or through our Live Chat function at gmp.police.uk, or alternatively speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their website.”
