1346AD, 26th August, Crécy, France. Edward III has selected the best site to do battle with the French, between Crécy and Wadicourt.
England and France have been at war since 1337 (this war is now know as the 100 year war). In July 1346 Edward III landed at Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, France and marched through the Cherbourg peninsula. After taking the town of Caen and Lisieux the English are stopped from taking Rouen as the bridge over the River Seine has been destroyed. The river is crossed at Poissy over a rebuilt bridge. The English then marched north, prevented from joining their Flemish allies across the River Somme due to the French destroying the bridges over that river as well.
Edward is told of a shallow crossing near Abbeville, which he crosses and then finds a place to engage the French army. The English army now wait for battle. Some men sleep, getting as much rest as possible following the tiring march. Others play dice to help past the time. Some of the archers inspect the arrows, discussing their quality and the best way to make a bow. Others, bored, go and dig more pits - the pits are placed to slow down the expected charge by the French Men of arms on their horse's.
And so the 10,000 to 15,000 English force wait for the first attack from the French army of 20,000 to 25,000.
Number 3 slip at Chatham Historic Dockyard. One of the most amazing wooden buildings I have visited. When it was built in 1838 this was Europe’s largest wide span timber structure.
I was persuaded by my better half to leave the colour in this (despite a strong temptation to go mono). Apparently the warmth of the wood shines through. Hope the red fire extinguisher is not too distracting though :)

--Matthias Church--
-In the late nineteenth century, architect Frigyes Schulek is credited with largely restoring St. Matthias Church to its original splendor. Schulek, who also built the nearby Fisherman's Bastion, adhered to the original thirteenth-century plans for the church and also uncovered a number of original Gothic elements lost for centuries. He added magnificent diamond patterned roof tiles and gargoyles, which visitors can still admire today. The reconstruction was completed in 1896.
the overnight North Star between Chicago and Duluth crossed the Mississippi River departing Minneapolis at 820 AM on April 20 1981 on what was the old Northern Pacific double track passenger line Third Terminal Subdivision between 35th Ave in Northtown and 1st Street North in Minneapolis. It later became part of the Burlington Northern Minnesota Division Fifth Subdivision and was used by Amtrak as a through route until April, 1981 when their trains to Midway Station were rerouted via Park Junction.

Ex-Metropolitan Railway E Class 0-4-4T L.48 at Neasden Works, on a sunny winters day in November 1961. The loco had entered service in 1901 as Metropolitan Railway No 81, and was renumbered by London Transport to L.48 in 1933, and was withdrawn in 1963, and scrapped.. One member of the class has survived – Metropolitan No 1, which was renumbered when the A Class loco with that number was scrapped after an accident, and which later became L.44.…
The power station closed down in 1968, and the demolished remains were taken away by LT departmental freight trains to Croxley Tip – steam-hauled until 1971, and battery-electric after that..
Neasden Works is still in use today (2025) but has been substantially rebuilt..
Restored from a faded original..
