St Helen and St Mary, Bourn, Cambridgeshire
This is a huge, blockish cruciform church set in the grounds of Bourn Hall. Bourn Hall, you will remember, is where Patrick Steptoe created the first test-tube baby, Louise Brown, in the 1970s. He must be one of the very few people of the last fifty years of whom it may be said that he truly changed the world forever. Steptoe, who from all accounts seems to have been a thoroughly decent bloke, is buried next to the entrance gate.
The church imposes on its small graveyard in a spectacular manner, and its best feature, the 13th Century tower, looks powerful and mighty. It nods back reverently to the Normans while rejoicing in its Early English display. It is surmounted by, unusually for Cambridgeshire, a lead spire, and this is twisted as the wooden beams inside have succumbed to the centuries.
Architecturally, this is a spectacular church. The interior is restored in an urban fashion, but the view back to the tower arch complements the fireworks of the exterior, and to the east there are two fine windows by Ninian Comper of 1936 and 1947. As if that were not enough, the reredos is also Comper's. This is a grand church, greater than the sum of its parts, and it comes as a surprise to me when I look at my photos to see that really there wasn't a great deal of historical survival, but the overall effect is so powerful.
My great-great-great-grandmother Elizabeth Farrington was born in Bourn, an illegitimate child, in 1799. she was baptised in the font which is still in use. She married my great-great-great-grandfather William Huckle here, and my great-great-grandmother Frances Huckle was born and baptised here in 1824. I have a photograph of Frances in her old age. Her grandson Edmund was my mother's father. Poking about in the churchyard, I was pleased to find a row of Farrington headstones which I photographed for future perusal and interpretation.
It was time to turn back east, and return towards Cambridge by a different route. I cycled back past Caldecote to Kingston.
"Arriva Guildford & West Surrey Ltd" won't be the only legal name to be disappearing when Arriva Southern Counties rearrange the operating licenses. "Arriva Kent & Sussex Ltd" will disappear too, though this will be through a renaming to "Arriva Southern Counties Ltd" rather than the complete withdrawal of the Guildford & West Surrey license.
The New Enterprise depot, and Guildford, Cranleigh, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone depots will all be part of "Arriva Southern Counties Ltd".
Illustrating the Kent & Sussex legals is Maidstone park and ride bus 3969 (GN04 UGC), a VDL SB200/Wright Commander.
The changes were due to come into effect from today, 1st January 2012, but they were deferred at the 11th hour.

Successful: I think the typography is successful because the handwritten aspect gives a sense of personalization which makes Potbelly's seem more localized and refreshing. Additionally, I feel the type adds personality to the decor of the restaurant in that it has flare and appeals to a younger audience. Lastly, the red color in the design embellishes the type, making it eye catching.

Świnousćie railway station on the Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB). The railway stations on the UBB iin north Germany (with just one station, this one, just a kilometer from the German/Polish border in Poland), surely has some of the nicest station-name lettering in the entire world. You'd never get away with it in the UK because the Disability Compliance Police would be after you, and people with disabilities, they can't read typefaces with serifs dontja know. which is complete bollocks and a pity, means for style, we Brits have to travel abroad.
