For around one hundred and fifty years Long Eaton, Derbyshire was a major lace manufacturing centre and Harrington Mill was the largest of the lace mills in the town. It is still standing and now used by other businesses and is seen here on the 12th February 2019.
In 1885 local building contractor Poxon and Rice won the tender for the building of the first phase of the Harrington Mills in Leopold Street, Long Eaton. It opened for business in January 1887 with the second phase of the building completed by Wheatley and Maule in 1888. The large mill was 550 feet long and four stores high, containing over one million bricks. The semi circular turrets along one side housed the staircases to the landings of the various lace manufacturers who occupied the building. At its peak Harrington Mill contained standings for 255 lace machines and was the largest of all the tenement mills in Long Eaton. The standings were rented out, allowing smaller enterprises to flourish and at one point Harrington Mill housed 26 separate lace manufacturing companies.
A woman who weaves fabric like in old times. Only with hands to turn the thread on a spindle and with the feet will be set the wheel in motion. As a rule, 10 hours are worked here every day.

a monument to the New Year?? … hopefully not a false one, but this is the shadow of my phone whilst welcoming in the New Year up on Sharpenhurst Hill … fireworks all around … very nice to see … and warm enough to be only wearing shorts and a t-shirt!! :-)
Manufacture des Gobelins
Depuis 1662, année où Colbert décida de regrouper les ateliers parisiens en un même lieu, la Manufacture des Gobelins, célèbre dans le monde entier, n’a cessé de marquer de sa signature l’histoire de la tapisserie.

The T40s (or Trekkers) were a product of precision Swedish engineering. Manufactured in droves for the purpose of large scale geological surveying. They would be sent out in packs to scout Northern Sweden for adequate drill sites and military installations. It’s signature processor and odd central hub design was widely perceived as impractical by the military world. But the large hub made space for many compact systems, including remote 3D remodeling, geological surveillance systems from radiation recording, density sensors and ore locator interfaces, creating the perfect surveillance drone. These small Trekkers roamed the cold north in a semiautonomous mode, navigating with their own AI interface, then remotely controlled from a central command station for vital operations or at important locations. After roughly 5 years of constant service, these drones were overworked and many simply malfunctioned in the field do to being in poor care for such harsh conditions. In an attempt to utilize these drones past their seemingly expired service days, the Swedish government utilized them and their navigational functions to service city workers and the elderly. Many were stolen very easily during this time. Mostly by militias who gave these drones the attention they deserved, many of these eastern European militias were able to turn these small bots into weapons of precision. Their wide bodies serving as blank templates for armaments and repurposed transportation. The perfect companion in this day’s dangerous environment.
A small holiday historical recreation project: photographs from a short holiday in Normandy taken with very similar equipment to Robert Capa's. The camera is a Soviet Kiev 4M produced in the 1980s - Capa took photos with a Contax, and the Kiev is a copy of it. The most important thing is the lens: a real original CZJ Sonnar manufactured in 1941 in Nazi Germany - perhaps identical to what Capa used. Finally, the film - Kodak Double-X: probably the closest chemically, still currently produced film material that can be compared to what Capa used.

"The most interesting feature are the serial numbers, which are out of usual Fed-2 numbers range. Although at least 25.000 copies of this type were manufactured till year 1966 (appr. range #5640.000-#5665.000), Fed have started with numbering #6600.000 in 1966 again!

Locomotive 44 158 is passing the pre-signal of the station of Kurilo with one of the morning passenger services from Mezdra to Sofia.
Behind the loco is a crazy mixture of passenger cars starting with a Bmpz car refurbished in Septemvri, an ex-DB By car, another ex-German Bimz-class car and a Dryanovo-manufactured Bmp-class carriage at the end.
Close to Birmingham City Centre, an image from a lesser recorded view point from the central-reservation. The West Midlands buses are on High Street, Deritend travelling towards Digbeth into the city centre.
Passing the Irish Community Centre on the corner of Stone Yard, is WMPTE 2832, a Daimler CVG6 built for Birmingham City Transport in 1952. There is still an Irish community centre on this site, but if it is this building, its been heavily rebuilt and expanded. The bus remained in service with WMPTE until April 1976.
Behind 2832 is the GKN - Haddon & Stoke factory, known for the manufacture vehicle transmissions. This factory is long demolished, the Bullring Trade Centre currently standing on the footprint of the former GKN plant.
The 90 route was a cross-city bus service that ran from Hall Green, a district South of the city, to the Pheasey Estate, to the North of the city. The 90 serving the city centre in both directions.
Well - I just met M. Duane Rollo Renaud for coffee at the famous Yreka Bakery, right on the harbourfront here in Monte Carlo. It was quite a revealing encounter!
Before the meeting, I was instructed by another intermediary - none other than Pancho Biddlecome - that there would be a call and response style password, to make absolutely sure that I was the real Lady Rebecca Lyndon - as M. Renaud had never met me before. The two-part password went like this:
M. Renaud: "Girl, bathing on Bikini, eyeing boy, finds boy eyeing bikini on bathing girl."
Lady Rebecca: "You can cage a swallow, can't you, but you can't swallow a cage, can you?"
After this solemn tomfoolery had been completed, Renaud explained that, although he works for the 'Radar' Private Detective Agency in Montreal, he had been hired in this case to represent the Wassamassaw Mining and Manufacturing Company - a wholly-owned subsidiary of my late husband's global business empire.
"You are the sole heir of your husband's vast fortune, Lady Rebecca, but your husband suspected that - in the event of his sudden death - his fortune would be tied up in probate and probably in legal challenges to his will, that might last a very long time. He therefore seeded very substantial funds within the Wassamassaw Mining and Manufacturing Company, of which you are the sole shareholder and Chief Executive. You may draw almost unlimited funds from the Wassamassaw Company, via a numbered account in Zurich, which is ultimately registered under the name of Edna Lala Lalande, a name which you must use from now on in any communications with me - or anyone else who is from the Wassamassaw Co., or who is representing it.
"Leaving aside the almost unthinkable wealth that you will eventually inherit from your husband, you are now an extremely wealthy widow. And I mean: extremely wealthy."
"That's very comforting news, Monsieur Renaud. Perhaps - with all this new wealth - I might now treat you to a crêpe suzette at the Café de Paris?"
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to all my Friends and Fans!

Diamond Match Factory, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, South India, 23rd of August 1979. I digitalised my black and white photo by photographing it again. One of the best-known bhajans of the 16th century saint-singer Meera Bai of Rajput was addressed to Krishna: "Oh Lord, take away the pain from mankind."
The water mill is long gone but was apparently quite large with two wheels and powered by the River Cole and Chinn Brook which merge a hundred yards or so from the site of the old mill.
The mill originally produced flour but eventually was converted to manufacture pen nibs. The only surviving mill on the Cole is Sarehole, a mile downstream and now a museum. It has a certain amount of fame as Tolkein spent some of his childhood in the area on which he supposedly based Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings.
Cast iron, single stall urinal from the Maryport & Carlisle Railway ex Curthwaite Station, believed to have been manufactured by George Smith & Company, Sun Foundry Glasgow, c. 1870-1890.
Before the 1890s most trains lacked toilets, so providing facilities on station platforms was essential and ‘comfort breaks’ were built into timetables.
