The Cornmill, Annalong, County Down Northern Ireland was in operation from the early 1800s until the 1960s,
After the sad closure of the village post office, Gourdon’s Harbour Bar have started running a combined pop-up post office and coffee morning every Friday morning. Wonderful!
Self portrait taken at the rather retro Harbour Bar on Scarborough's seafront. I've always wanted to try out a multiplicity portrait so here it is :)
I'd rather not explain the image too much - I think it's much better you look around and form your own ideas...just as you form your own visuals from a book.
In case you are wondering - the book in the photograph is '211 Things a Bright Girl Can Do' by Bunty Cutler.
There are more photos coming soon!
Prints are available of all my photographs but are very limited edition so please contact me if you would like to buy any of my work.
The King at Kingstown, the Stena Carrier at Dun Laoighaire port in April 2018 while the crew were on shore leave.
In the news this week was its sister ship the Stena Freighter which sadly is heading to the scrapyard.
The Stena Freighter had spent the last three years Port of Pensacola, Florida, US being converted to a landing platform ship ( LPV ) for Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket, 125 and 150 workers were employed at the height of the project for Offshore Inland at the port
Jeff Bezos visited Pensacola in December 2020 to rename the ship Jacklyn, after his mother, who christened her personally.
Blue Origin stopped works on Jacklyn in 2022, deciding to abandon the plan to use the ship as a landing platform completely, so it was towed by tug Julie F to Brownsville, Texas for scrapping arrived there 19th August 2022.

Went out to Bray Flea Market at the Harbour in Bray. This lovely chap whose name is Jack was selling wild salmon jerkey. After chatting with him for a while I plucked up courage and asked him if he would mind posing for a picture for me. I know that he came up with idea of the jerkey to try and get children to eat fish. Have to say that it was absolutely delicious
'Super Cooper's Mexico Spot Prize'
A photograph from the Harbour Bar in Kirkcaldy, Fife, taken in 1985. The front and back pages of the newspaper reported on very different stories of the day. The front page story of that day was the riots that took place in the Handsworth district of Birmingham. The back page, traditionally carrying the sporting headlines, was dominated by the success of the Scotland football team in their pursuit of a place in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the equalizing goal against Wales being scored from a penalty kick by the late Davie Cooper who came on as a substitute for Gordon Strachan.
Original photograph taken with a Canon AE-1 Program and FD 50mm f1.8 lens.
The 1951 Festival of Britain held against a back drop of austerity was a delight of graphic design and this included such things as lettering and signage that was very carefully considered. This page from a contemporary journal shows the styles and applications of signs and lettering seen on site. The designers include;
Gordon Cullen, Terence Bliss' George Subiotto, Milner Gray, Misha Black, Gordon and Ursula Bowyer and Fry Drew & Partners.
Alonzi's Harbour Bar right on the seafront, is a family business producing and selling ice cream opposite Scarborough's harbour since 1945.
This 1950s inspired venue sells knickerbocker glory, banana splits, waffles, tea coffee, milkshakes, floats and everything tasty and ice cream inspired - a must visit when in the Town.
Even the staff dress in 1950s style diner outfits to add to the retro atmosphere.
The Harbour Bar is a member of the Ice Cream Alliance and has won many awards, including the Silver Challenge Cup for the best ice cream in the UK and the Gold Award for 50 years of membership.
Giulian doesn’t advertise much. His dad always said: “The only thing that sells ice cream is good ice cream.”

Week #37 ~ Culture
Pub culture is strong in Ireland and the pub continues to be a place to gather, share stories and listen to music.... and of course, have a drink.
The decor in the Harbour Bar in Scarborough is pretty much perfect. Even the uniforms are co-ordinated. I loved this place.
Harbour Bar in Sandford Scarborough
Famed for serving some of the best ice cream in the country, Giulian Alonzi's Harbour Bar in Sandside, Scarborough is almost unaltered since opening in 1945. With decor described by The Times as, "a sunburst of yellow and white, a banana split recreated in Formica" the walls are lined with mirrors and slogans 'Get your vitamins the easy way', 'Eat ice cream every day.'"
Scarborough Harbour - the junction of Sandside with Eastborough. The Harbour Bar is a long-established ice cream parlour with a notable 1950's interior.

Patrons sit on red leather banquettes or on high stools at the half-moon, chrome-edged counter. Ice creams are mainly traditional – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, and lemon and blackcurrant sorbets – made from natural ingredients including Scottish seaweed instead of gelatine. The Alonzi's settled in Scarborough in 1896 and the old milk bar is thriving.
So much to choose from, so little time. I went for the classic knickerbocker glory. I think we will have to plan a longer holiday to Scarborough next time so that we can make multiple visits to the Harbour Bar.
