Eco-friendly Midlands Co-op supermarket at Oakham, Rutland- they harvest rainwater, use special refidgeration units which use a lot less power (and use the by-product heat to warm the building), gross grass on the roof to insulate, use computer controlled ventilation (all natural where possible), even the lighting is automatic and only operates when needed (computers monitor light levels and open/close blinds on the windows where needed).

Looking across the bus station at the Airedale Shopping Centre, 24th April 1989. Taken from the multi-storey car park after the glass-ceiling covered walkways have been completed. Shops include H. Samuel's, Co-Op Foodstore, Gas showroom and Bradford and Bingley Building Society. The Westgate Gardens flats can be seen in the distance. The crescent-shaped Omnibus Station is on the right. Photograph taken by Roy Dean Willoughby.
Roy Dean Willoughby was born in Keighley on 1st February 1932, and lived most of his life in East Morton. He wanted to be a cabinet maker but his father was a fishmonger, with a shop in Bingley, and Roy followed in his footsteps. From the late 1960s, he owned and ran the fish and chip shop at 253 Bradford Road (now Stockbridge Fisheries) up until 1983. There are tales of him giving the leftovers at the end of the day to those who were struggling or homeless. After he retired and sold the business he went on to work with his son at Studio 127 on East Parade. They were signwriters and made posters, producing shop signs for businesses in Keighley. He was passionate about photography and he took thousands of photographs throughout his life. Some of his photographs are believed to have been used by Keighley News. Roy passed away on 7th May 2012. Many of his photographs have been inherited by his grandson, Billy Stride, who took it upon himself to scan all the negatives and slides that his grandfather had taken. "I feel it is my duty to do this as I want these memories to survive and to be looked back on. I want his name to be remembered and for his view of Keighley and the world to be remembered too." Some of the images were shared with Keighley and District Local History Society in October 2020.
Original photograph scanned by grandson Billy Stride and copy donated to Keighley and District Local History Society in January 2021.

An array of satay sticks on display at a food stall on the historic Yangshuo West Street. Detailed notes about the Yangshuo West Street appear in detail in previous captions. There was a young girl at the stall doing what all young girls love to do- texting. When I asked if I could photograph her stall, she agreed readily and moved out of sight, and then went on texting. I could make out sausage, shrimp and a host of other unidentified meats. I'm not much of a meat eater nowadays and therefore decided to pass. (Yangshuo, Guilin, China, May 2017)
The new Northbrook Freshmart was built by Richard and Olive Hook in 1985. The original store built by Lulu & Casper Thompson. Richard & Olive Hook purchased the original Thompson store from Ron and Shirley Sedore in 1979 and operated it as a Lucky Dollar Foodstore under the store name of Delibrook. The Delibrook was eventually demolished with the building of the new Freshmart in 1985. Tracy Hook (Hook's Homes) sold the Nascor insulated walls for the Freshmart and helped his father build the new store. When the Freshmart opened Richard & Olive Hook sold bread at the special price of $.65/loaf.
The Freshmart was later sold to Bob and Marg Glecoff in 1988 for an IGA and later Foodland.

Note the shark fin available for sale. Disappointing to see this still the case in 2010 given the precarious state of shark populations around the world.

The previous Jewel at this location was a smallish, 1960's era box with a parking lot at its north end.
You can bet that Jewel went through many, many neighborhood meetings before they arrived at this block-long, two-level megastore, with its indoor parking garage.
The original Osco, which was sold, along with the rest of Osco's freestanding locations, to CVS several years ago, still stands across the street as a CVS.
It's rare enough to see any bank in a town centre these days let alone three in a row. Nearest to the camera is the Halifax bank which used to be a building society. Next to that is Lloyds and furthest away is Barclays. What used to be a common sight is pretty unbelievable now. There is a lot of money in Alnwick and this part of Northumberland with a number of Waitroses and Mark & Spencer foodstores always being a good indicator of the local wealth so probably if one of the banks opts to close first there will be a mass transfer to the other two.
Rosario's recently restored animated pig neon sign. The pigs jumping into the grinder come out the end to spell out the word Sausage. See video elsewhere in this photo stream...
8611 South Pulaski Road. The animated neon pig sign to the left has undergone a recent restoration. Rosario's was going to close in 2012 but stayed open after so many complaints from loyal customers...
Rosario's closed for good on December 31, 2016
Here's a video of the sign in action. flic.kr/p/7gGieg
Update: The neon / plastic signage was removed from the building around February 2019. The Building is up For Sale. The pole mounted sign in the parking lot is still there.
The title is not an unkind reference to anyone in the shop, just mentioning that there is a barbequed pig face available for sale to the next hungry customer. Taken in Bangkok's Chinatown.

New Hall Hey Bryn Thomas crane
Hardman Brothers Mill chimney
Rawtenstall could be set for a new supermarket and restaurant as part of plans to expand New Hall Hey, creating 100 jobs.
Proposals have been submitted to Rossendale council for an Aldi supermarket, two other retail units and space for a restaurant on Swanney Lodge Road, next to the New Hall Hey retail park.
No tenants have yet been confirmed for the other units proposed, but the site developer has identified possible businesses as a coffee shop, frozen food store and a variety discount store.
In a design and access statement, The Harris Partnership Architects on behalf of Worthington Properties, said: “The proposed Aldi discount foodstore and accompanying terrace of retail units will represent a high-quality development and will promote a contemporary design to the benefit of the local and wider environment.” The proposals also include 224 parking spaces.

The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic. It is from its name in Italian ("ghetto"), that the English word "ghetto" is derived: in the Venetian language it was named "ghèto". The Venetian Ghetto (incidentally, the first Ghetto) was instituted in 1516, though political restrictions on Jewish rights and residences existed before that date.
Though it was home to a large number of Jews, the population living in the Venetian Ghetto never assimilated to form a distinct, "Venetian Jewish" ethnicity. Four of the five synagogues were clearly divided according to ethnic identity: separate synagogues existed for the German (the Scuola Grande Tedesca), Italian (the Scuola Italiana), Spanish and Portuguese (the Scuola Spagnola), and Levantine Sephardi communities (The Scola Levantina). The fifth, the Scuola Canton, is believed to have been either French, or a private synagogue for the families who funded its construction. Today, there are also populations of Ashkenazic Jews in Venice, mainly Lubavitchers who operate one of two kosher foodstores, a yeshiva, and the aforementioned Chabad synagogue.
In September 1938, the promulgation of the fascist racial laws deprived the Jews of civil rights, and the Jewish community entered a difficult period under the leadership first of Aldo Finzi and subsequently (from June 1940 onwards) of Professor Giuseppe Jona.
In September 1943, Italy changed from being an ally of Nazi Germany into an occupied country, and the Nazis started a systematic hunt for Jews in Venice as in other Italian cities. On 17 September, Professor Jona committed suicide rather than hand over to the German authorities a list of Jewish community residents.
In November 1943, Jews were declared 'enemy aliens' in accordance with the manifesto of the Italian Social Republic, to be arrested and their property seized. Although some Jews managed to escape to neutral Switzerland or Allied-occupied southern Italy, over two hundred were rounded up, most between 5 December 1943 (when approximately 150 were arrested) and late summer 1944. They were held at the city's Marco Foscarini college, the women's prison on Giudecca, the prison at Santa Maria Maggiore and subsequently at Fossoli concentration camp, before being deported, in most cases, to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. Those arrested later in 1944 included some 20 residents of a Jewish convalescence home, the Casa di Ricovero Israelitica (including Venice's Chief Rabbi, Adolfo Ottolenghi, who chose to follow the fate of his fellow deportees) and 29 from a Jewish hospital. Most of those arrested in the summer of 1944 spent time incarcerated at Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp, Trieste. Although a figure of two hundred and five Jewish deportees from Venice between November 1943 and August 1944 is often quoted, one source give the higher figure of 246, which includes those deported to Trieste, some of whom died there, and a smaller number of arrests after this point up until the end of the war. Only 8 Jewish residents of Venice emerged from the death camps. The 1938 Jewish population of Venice (2000) was reduced by the war's end to 1500, or in some sources 1050.
What was Europe's first ghetto is now a lively and popular district of the city where the religious and administrative institutions of the Jewish Community and its five synagogues still persist.
Today, the Ghetto is still a center of Jewish life in the city. The Jewish Community of Venice, that counts 500 people, is of such cultural vitality that it is often a centre for the cultural life of the entire city.
