The Picture Playhouse opened its doors to the public as a cinema in 1911 by Ernest Symonds, a local entrepeneur and film maker. It was converted from Beverley’s Corn Exchange which was built in 1865 and is situated in the Market Place at the corner of Ladygate. Originally seating 425 on a flat floor it now seats considerable less but has had raked seating introduced, apart from that, it is basically unaltered.
The Picture Playhouse was also a major venue for live music in East Yorkshire. It closed in September 1963 but was re-opened in April 1982. It was the only surviving cinema in the town, the 1916 Marble Arch Cinema and the 1935 Regal Cinema have both been demolished.
In 2002 it began to suffer from competition from Hull’s multiplex cinemas and closed in 2003. It was converted into Browns Department Store.
The Picture Playhouse is a Grade II Listed building.

Tewahedo (Te-wa-hido) (Ge'ez ተዋሕዶ tawāhidō, modern pronunciation tewāhidō) is a 'Ge'ez' word meaning; "being made one" or "unified"; it is cognate with the Arabic term توحيد tawḥīd, used in Islam to mean worshipping Allah alone. This word refers to the Oriental Orthodox belief in the one single unified Nature of Christ; i.e., a belief that a complete, natural union of the Divine and Human Natures into One is self-evident in order to accomplish the divine salvation of humankind, as opposed to the "two Natures of Christ" belief (unmixed, but unseparated Divine and Human Natures, called the Hypostatic Union) which is held by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on the Henotikon[4]: the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, and many others, all refused to accept the "two natures" doctrine decreed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, thus separating them from the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox — who themselves separated from one another later on in the East-West Schism in 1054, although not over Christological views.

...SOME of the (unknowingly global) audience is intrigued and even mesmerized, others, after a minute or two, irritated, descend across time-zones (but mostly PST, West Coast U.S) to multiplex lobbies to complain, demand an explanation, what'-s-this-TRAILER doing interrupting what-I-Paid-To-SEE, etc...

Class 43 HST 43465 Waiting to depart South at Northallerton Station
When Crewe Works built them the InterCity 125 units were considered to be diesel multiple units, and were allocated Classes 253 and 254 for Western and Eastern Region services respectively. The locomotives were introduced onto the Midland region later.
Until the HST's introduction, the maximum speed of British trains was limited to 100 mph (160 km/h). The increased speed, rapid acceleration and deceleration of the HST made it ideal for passenger use, and after deployment slashed journey times around the country. The prototype InterCity 125 (power cars 43000 and 43001) set the world record for diesel traction at 143 mph (230 km/h) on 12 June 1973. An HST also holds the world speed record for a diesel train carrying passengers. On 27 September 1985, a special press run for the launch of a new Tees-Tyne Pullman service from Newcastle to London King's Cross, formed of a shortened 2+5 set, briefly touched 144 mph (232 km/h) north of York.
During 1987, eight HST power cars were converted for use as Driving Vehicles with Class 91 locomotives during trials on the East Coast Main Line. The power cars were fitted with buffers and Time Division Multiplex equipment that allowed them to directly control a Class 91, and were moved over to the ECML where they were used on workings with Class 89 and then Class 91 locomotives from London to Leeds. After the Mk 4 stock had been delivered, the HST power cars had the TDM equipment removed, and then reverted to their normal duties. The power cars used for this project can be easily identified as they are still fitted with buffers. They were then transferred to Cross Country services, and put in storage when Virgin replaced their HST fleet with Bombardier' s Voyager. Grand Central purchased six of these to operate services from Sunderland to London.
After the privatisation of British Rail the locomotives continued to be used, and as of 1st Jan 2009 194 of the 197 units built are still in service.
GRAND CENTRAL
While at the works being re-engined, Grand Central added the orange stripe that appears on their Class 180 units, re-painted the front ends (this making them look more like the non-buffered HSTs), and re-numbered the power cars into the four-hundreds. These are the current numbers: 43465 (065)/467 (067)/468 (068)/480 (080)/484 (084)/423 (123). The re-numbering of 43123 was confusing to some enthusiasts, as they sometimes believed it was originally 43023 because 400 was added to the numbers of the other power cars, yet only 300 to this particular power car.

We had a trip to Prague in January – for Jayne’s birthday - we don’t buy Christmas or birthday presents, we travel instead. We left snowy England for a very, very dull and grey Czech Republic. Yet again I was on a photographic downer looking at the weather forecast, grey is the colour that haunts me. Fortunately it was dull grey and not burnt highlight inducing bright grey.With the grey sky acting like a big diffuser I was going to have deep shadow and contrast to deal with. We had three very short spells of broken cloud which gave us a bit of sun and colour, which I managed to more or less anticipate so we managed to be in decent locations every time – generally somewhere high.
We had been upgraded to a five star hotel, apparently our original choice was flooded. We got compensation and five star hotel upgrade– a first for me. The Art Nouveau Palace has a beautiful interior, with beautiful rooms, the breakfast room was fantastic, as was the breakfast it has to be said. We were able to have an early breakfast so were out on foot just after eight. It was very cold – and dull! We spent the whole week well wrapped up. It drizzled for a day, but never really wet us, it snowed for a day, again we didn’t get wet and the snow didn’t settle. We walked 65 mile, spending plenty of time checking buildings and their interiors out – and coffee shop and bar interiors it has to be said. Although it was dull and sometimes wet I decided that the Camera was staying in my hands for the whole trip. Whenever I put it in my backpack for one reason or another I regret it.
Again, I didn’t look at any photographs of Prague before we got there, I like to just walk and discover, with the DK guidebook in my pocket (which is full of photos it has to be said). We like to get off the beaten track and see the grittier side of the places we visit – within reason! Prague has an incredible tram network, over 1000 trams – with many of them Tatra Eastern Bloc machines. The system seems chaotic but in reality it is incredible with one of the largest networks and highest usages in the world. The trams and cars frequently share the same road space with very little in the way of drama, none of the inexplicable and pathetic constant horn blowing one finds in many countries. Once it became apparent that buildings with a grey blanket as a background were going to be a bit un-inspirational I decided that the trams would be a good focal point instead. Where I have photographed one of the older trams against a background without clues it is easy to imagine that the photos were taken fifty years ago.
The train network also provided photo opportunities. The rolling stock ranges from old Eastern Bloc to very modern double decker’s and pendolinos. There are three stations although we visited the main station and Smichov. The main station interior is art deco and has been renovated by a private company. The exterior and the platforms are very rundown with a grim eastern bloc 1950’s feel –but it works! We discovered to our amusement that we could just walk across multiple lines, no health and safety, just keep your eyes open and don’t walk under a train – you’ll make a mess. Smichov station was grim, it didn’t help that it snowed all day and was grey and bitter. We felt like we were in a 50’s film set in Russia, broken concrete platforms and dereliction. With both stations there was another world underneath them. The underground Metro is running seamlessly and efficiently away beneath your feet. I didn’t have any problems taking photos anywhere but I was very open and obviously a tourist, I didn’t act covertly or suspiciously. There was only one occasion I was stopped and that was in a shopping centre – full of CCTV cameras filming everyone else!
We discovered old and beautiful- and very large- shopping centres hidden away in quite a few places. Brass framed windows and doors, shops thriving, there was a massive camera shop with thousands of second hand cameras, too much to look at. Many of the landmark buildings prevent photography, some make a small charge, some encourage it, the DK guide book gives a good indication regarding camera use. Nothing stops many people though, they just shoot away regardless, usually wanting a picture that includes their self. Prague is surrounded by low hills and has a fair few towers that you can pay a few pounds to go up, so viewpoints are plentiful. I think we visited most of them. I read about the Zizkov Tower, which looks like a Soviet rocket on the horizon and we headed straight for it - after crossing the rail lines! Set in a quiet residential area, there wasn’t a soul about. Two beautiful girls on reception and we parted with a few pounds, into the lift and were on the observation deck with no one else up there. There are fantastic views over the city, but! It is through two layers of not very clean glass so you go for the view rather than sharp panoramas. Still a fascinating place, with a nice café bar and very clean toilets – there are toilets everywhere, usually manned with a fee. Places are well staffed compared with home were three students are supposed to run a 20 screen multiplex cinema.
Graffiti was prominent, no matter how grand the monument, some moron would have daubed it. How do they get away with it in a 24 hour city centre with a strong police presence? The place is very clean, constantly being swept. What did surprise me, was that many buildings, that looked grand and built of stone, from a distance, were actually rendered with very low quality brickwork concealed. When restored the building look very impressive, others are missing the outer render from ground level to a fair height.
I need to cut this short really, I like to put a background story to the photos and although it would be better to individualise it to a specific photo or group of photos I don’t have the time to do that. I do try to give specific detail in the title bar after I have uploaded, this is time consuming enough although I’m pretty proficient at it by now. There are many things I would like to write that should be of interest to anyone thinking of going to Prague but I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking. As usual I am unlikely to be selective enough with my uploads, I’m not very good at leaving photos out so I just upload and be damned.
The Woolloomooloo finger wharf is the longest timber-piled wharf in the world, more famed for celebrity residents, expensive apartments and restaurants with $200 steaks than its storied past as Sydney’s main berth for cruise ships before the overseas passenger terminal was built at Circular Quay.
Some who bought into the building include actor Russell Crowe, who combined four apartments into one with his then wife Danielle Spencer for about $14 million in 2003. He was said to have refused a $25 million offer for it and a 35-metre marina berth back in 2017. Other residents have included singers Delta Goodrem and Marcia Hines, radio broadcaster John Laws, one-time corporate raider Rod Price and property entrepreneur Ian Gowrie-Smith.
The finger wharf was built by the Sydney Harbour Trust between 1911 and 1915 and designed by the Trust's Engineer-In-Chief Henry Walsh, for whom Walsh Bay was named, for moving freight. It had two long sheds with four berths - 6 and 7 on the east side and you can see the numbers 8 and 9 on the west. Australian troops were transported to the Middle East and Europe by ship from here during the World Wars.
The original central roadway was well lit through glass skylights, sunk four feet below the floor level so heavy cargo could be easily moved from truck or dray to the cargo bays. When cargo shippers found cheaper facilities at Darling Harbour, ocean liners started docking here in the 1930’s. But ships became too big for the berths, and by the 1970’s roll-on roll-off needed much bigger facilities, and the wharf fell out of use.
Many people wanted it destroyed as a horrible eyesore - which it was at the time - but it was saved by public interest and its unique heritage. Plans for a 440-berth marina and 14-storey, 424 room hotel were quashed in the late 1980’s. After more than a decade of political machinations, a design was agreed in the early 1990’s and after several changes, design architects The Buchan Group, engineers Robert Bird & Partners and developer Multiplex completed the restoration over the 1990’s, with the then W Hotel at the Cowper Wharf Road end opening July 2000. There's an Ovolo Hotel there now.
The NSW government's deal to allow low-rise development of the nearby Wharf 11 and the new apartment building at the north of the wharf paid for most of the Federation style restoration. The property is owned by Transport for NSW.
Although a short walk to the NSW Art Gallery and the city, it’s also right next to Woolloomooloo’s public housing area on the other side of the road. And if you can't afford Kingsleys' steak there's always the pie option from Harry's Cafe de Wheels around the front. The tall building in the background is the Harry Seidler-designed 43 storey Horizon apartment tower.
The Arduino is sending commands (PPM-encoded series of servo-position pulses) to the RC transmitter (a Multiplex Royal Evo 12, in this case), which mixes them with manual input and radios them to the radio-controlled model.
You can see on the transmitter's display that channels 1, 2, 4 and 5 are broadcasting values while the sticks are centered. If I had video, you could see them change over time under the Arduino's control.

Cardboard, Dimensions variable.
Tobias Putrih, Slovenian, born 1972
Putrih, who studied physics before turning to art, draws inspiration from the pure geometric forms of modernist architecture. But among the challenges he sets for himself is "to make an object that expresses its own self–doubt, that questions its own existence."
Tobias Putrih's Macula Series A&L was on display in the special exhibition, Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now from November 21, 2007

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929 and is often recognized as the most influential museum of modern art in the world. Over the course of the next ten years, the Museum moved three times into progressively larger temporary quarters, and in 1939 finally opened the doors of its midtown home, located on 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in midtown.
MoMA's holdings include more than 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. Highlights of the collection inlcude Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Salvador Dali's The Persisence of Memory, Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiseels d'Avignon and Three Musicians, Claude Monet's Water Lilies, Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, Paul Gauguin's The Seed of the Areoi, Henri Matisse's Dance, Marc Chagall's I and the Village, Paul Cezanne's The Bather, Jackson Pollack's Number 31, 1950, and Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. MoMA also owns approximately 22,000 films and four million film stills, and MoMA's Library and Archives, the premier research facilities of their kind in the world, hold over 300,000 books, artist books, and periodicals, and extensive individual files on more than 70,000 artists.
Here's something that's been sitting around for a while waiting to be finished. A few weeks ago I finally ordered a big ol' enclosure for it and the tracking came through for that yesterday, so it's time to finish this thing up. It's an extremely complicated little beastie and I don't actually even know if it will work when I fire it up.
It's a 1776 Effects Multiplex Echo Machine delay. Those two 16-pin ICs are a pair of independent delay lines. This thing has a mode where it functions like the old Binson Echorec. Those things recorded audio onto a disc that looked a little like a CD (but was nothing at all like a CD) and then had multiple playback heads so you could "listen" to the signal play back from different places on the timeline simultaneously to set up syncopated delays. It was the, "Secret Weapon" of a few big names.
This box also has a Roland RE-201 Space Echo mode and an Echoplex mode.
Anyway, hopefully this little monster will work. The tiny PCB in the foreground is an optical modulation daughterboard.

Martin Kippenberger's Martin, Stand in the Corner and Be Ashamed of Yourself was on display as part of the special exhibition, Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now from November 21, 2007 - July 28, 2008.
Kippenberger made this sculpture after a negative review, as if he were scolded. He gave a photo of his himself to a craftsman and had him carve the head and hands, and then cast them in metal. Inside the clothes, the body is a metal stick figure.

A dream for electricians and mechanics has finally come true. Unlike most buses, the multiplex system must be accessed from the outside of the coach, normally in the nose or under the drivers' window, however this new system is much like a lunch pail - makes life much eaiser.
Pick it up right up and you have access to the whole electrical system on the coach.
The top picture shows the multiplex system with the handle open, while the bottom picture shows the 'pail' closed, which is the position it resumes while the bus is in motion.
New Flyer has once again answered the call with going above and beyond the industry standard.

Terrazzo entrance to the Fox Theatre, 1807 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, California. When the Fox Theater opened its doors in October 1928, 20,000 patrons thronged Oakland's newest movie palace to experience music on the Mighty Wurlitzer, a live stage show and one of the latest innovations, the "talkies" that were replacing silent films. But one of the biggest draws was the massive domed theater itself, an opulent and exotic mix of terra cotta tiles, dizzyingly detailed paintings and golden deities, reminiscent of a Brahmin Temple.
Even in the heyday of elaborate movie palaces, the Fox stood out. The architecture of the buff brick and terra cotta structure has long defied definition, being variously described as Indian, Moorish, Medieval and Baghdadian. At the time, the San Francisco Chronicle called it "different, novel and mystic," noting "its spaciousness, luxurious appointments and beautiful designs." Rich colors and gold leaf were abundant, including two bejeweled golden figures flanking the stage who were quickly dubbed Buddhas, though historians now believe they were designed as warriors.
For more than three decades, the Fox held its own as a first-run movie house in a bustling downtown entertainment and shopping district. But as the advent of television dealt a blow to the movie business and suburban malls and multiplexes began to lure people away from downtowns in cities nationwide, Oakland was no exception.
The Fox closed its doors in 1966. Downtown lost its theaters, its department stores and much of its vitality. The grand Fox, closed longer than it was ever open, escaped the wrecking ball more than once, but suffered fires, leaky roofs, decay and graffiti.
The Fox survived an arson fire in 1973, but its increasingly shabby condition led it to be derided as "the largest outdoor urinal in the world." Still, the theater escaped an attempt to raze it for a parking lot in 1975 and was named a city landmark in 1978.
That same year, Piedmont residents Erma and Mario DeLucchi bought the property at auction for $340,000 in hopes of restoring it and saving it from the fate of San Francisco's Fox Theater, which had been demolished in 1963. The couple had gone on Saturday night dates at the Oakland Fox as high school sweethearts in the early 1930s, Erma wearing the gardenia corsages Mario would bring her.
"We just loved it. It was luxurious and it was always a good movie," recalled Erma DeLucchi, an Oakland native. But Mario died soon after they bought the theater, and the project never got under way.
In 1996, the city, under the leadership of Mayor Elihu Harris, bought the building from Erma DeLucchi for $3 million. But still, nothing happened. After the wet El Niño winter of 1997-98, preservationists began pressuring the city to repair the Fox's roofs. Parts of the intricately painted walls and ceilings had been damaged by rain, and mushrooms were sprouting from the floor.
The Oakland native Phil Tagami, whose parents had their first date at the Fox Theater, had first approached city officials about restoring the theater soon after the city purchased it in 1996. "I felt laughed at," recalled Tagami, 42, a high school dropout who cut his teeth working as a laborer in the construction business before starting to buy and fix up old buildings, mostly in downtown Oakland.
But Tagami earned a good measure of credibility for restoring the former Kahn's department store across from City Hall — a long-shuttered but stunning piece of Beaux Arts architecture with its soaring glass dome — into the Rotunda office and retail building. Soon after the Rotunda opened, and the Fox sign was relit, an editorial in the Oakland Tribune urged someone to tackle the Fox. It suggested Tagami. Impatient with the glacial progress on the Fox to date, Tagami organized a meeting of interested parties and then took another plan to the city.
Tagami began searching for additional funding, leading to a complex financing and ownership structure that combines city redevelopment money with grants, tax credits and even billboard revenue. Years in the making, the project has gone through 28 public hearings, plus another three dozen meetings on community outreach and local hiring for construction.
Finally, after over 40 silent years, the Fox Theater has re-opened its doors as a live music venue, arts school, and restaurant - its aged and rain-damaged interior restored to its once-breathtaking beauty. The theater's opening finally anchors the long-awaited renaissance of an Uptown entertainment district of theaters, restaurants, and nightspots.
Several years ago, I saw this plant species growing in someone's garden. I thought it looked a fascinating flower and hoped to see it at the Reader Rock Garden some day, as it is included in their list of species for their gardens. When I called in on 6 May 2015, after a volunteer shift, there it was! I guess this must be the double version of the flower.
Just checked my photostream for Bloodroot and found that I had seen this plant at Reader Rock Garden before, on 11 May 2009. Have added a photo that was taken that day, in a comment box below. Shows a much nicer flower.
Boston, Savoy Cinema. The Savoy is a multiplex converted from a closed Co-operative department store in 2002. It was initially known as the West End, but was renamed in 2017 and has been greatly refurbished in recent years, including the introduction of reclining seats in two of the five screens. This is screen 4.

Forest Cinema, Walthamstow. Opened as the Empire in November 2014, this was the first purpose built complex for the circuit, previous sites having been take-overs. It was designed by Pollard, Thomas, Edwards Architects, who also designed the rest of 'The Scene' building. It has 9 screens, including an Impact Screen, and a large 309 seat auditorium (Screen 9) with a vast curved screen. The Empire circuit went into administration in 2023, and the multiplex was closed and became badly vandalised before a new operator (PD Management Ltd) was found. It reopened as the Forest Cinema in September 2024 and has proved very successful.

While waiting for my car to be serviced, I decided to venture out into an unpromising commercial area to see what was up photographically.
Nothing much was available until I saw the back of this person's coat as he moved along the side of a 10 screen multiplex theater.

Inside the new Hoyts multiplex on a walk around the city to catch up on what's happening while I wait for my car to have its WOF. March 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
With over 900 cinema seats, seven movie screens and 13 food outlets, central Christchurch's $50 million new Hoyts EntX multiplex.
The three-level complex has been under construction for a year and a half between Colombo, Lichfield and Tuam Sts, opened on September 28, 2019.
EntX will replace the eight-screen Moorhouse Ave facility which cinema chain Hoyts lost in the earthquakes. It will be the company's third multiplex in Christchurch and 11th in New Zealand, and the second in the country with large "xtremescreens", recliner seats and in-cinema dining.
