This is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.
The museum was established in 1975, and the first buildings moved here in 1976. Since then a 26 acre site has been developed, with the unique conditions of living and working in the Black Country from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.
It is off Tipton Road in Dudley.
Last part of the Canal Village.
Cobbled road / path past the cottages.
People were playing with those metal rings.
On the left is the Station Road Cottages.
These two cottages are replicas of a pair that still stand on Station Road, Oldhill, probably built in 1848, and are typical of workers' housing of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century in the Black Country.
Originally, each house consisted of a single room and pantry downstairs with a single bedroom upstairs. This would have meant extreme overcrowding for large families.
The left hand cottage was extended in the 1860s and the right hand cottage was extended at the turn of the nineteenth century to provide two bedrooms in each cottage.
The cottages are displayed as they would have looked in 1910 when two branches of the Newton family occupied them.
In the left hand cottage lived Edward Newton described as a ‘coal heaver’ with his wife and family. Edward’s brother, Thomas, a nail maker, occupied the right hand cottage. His wife ran a sweetshop from the front room, which now houses the Cobbler’s Shop.
Ironmonger's Shop on the right (corner with Canal Street).
Nash’s ironmongery was established in 1860 in Oldbury supplying both domestic ironmongery and works trade.
The shop has been recreated, as it would have been in the 1930s, within part of the Pipers Row premises.
They sold every conceivable commodity needed by householders and businesses in the area from nails, nuts and bolts, roofing felt, chicken wire and chain to candles and paraffin.
In the office at the back they cut keys and mended locks.
Nash’s watchword was ‘customer service’ and they would stay open until 9pm at night if there were still customers to be served.

This is The Village Centre at the Black Country Living Museum.
It has been built on the low ground at the northern end of the museum site which is surrounded on three sides by canals.
This is the Hardware Shop.
The original building came from Piper's Row in Wolverhampton and was built in the first half of the nineteenth century.
The hardware shop sold everything for the home, particularly products like tin baths, enamel-ware and lamps made in the area and in traditional Black Country style the exterior of the shop is festooned in merchandise.
The premises now act as an extension of the ironmonger’s shop next door.

I finally got around to photographing the Heller I've thrifted over the last several months. I was inspired to do so after I found the "Nuts and Bolts" cologne bottle at an estate sale last week.
The estate sale was full of pickers muttering to each other about being sure there was something wonderful hidden somewhere.
Thankfully we all have different ideas about what constitutes a treasure!
As per the name of the album I'm putting this in, I felt this was a great "writing prompt" photo. In English/Language Arts classes (at least in elementary and middle school), students are sometimes given a "writing prompt" - a picture that inspires them to write a story about it. Over the years, I have taken a number of photos that I thought would make great writing prompts. This is one of them. I finally decided to create an album of my "writing prompt" pictures.
Regarding this photo, I was walking out of the doctors office. My car was parked in the lot, which was in the back of the building. As I was walking down the side of the building, I spotted this little pile of nuts and washers. I thought to myself, "There's a story there. Not sure what it is, but it's kind of fun to make up a story about it." And that compelled me to take the picture.

Ashford United vs. Littlehampton Town, 9 December 2014
I don't often photograph evening fixtures, but as Littlehampton were the Sussex County League's only surviving club, and had fought back to earn a replay I felt compelled to go. It was never really my intention to photograph the action at a typically bleak and windy Homelands ground, but was pleased with this one, particularly as his anorak matched the Ashford colours. As I was composing this and waiting for some action in the distance, I was thinking to myself: "Don't turn around. Don't turn around".

Uses coarse grinding paste or stick - The tool is a broom handle turned at the same diameter as the bore you want to polish - the cut with a hacksaw and a self tapper - or screw inserted to provide an adjustment
You have to be careful that the drill doesn't snatch when it breaks through into the pre-cast slots.
The lathe is set to a low speed and the work moved along the the tool - tightening the screw a little at a time use oil or grease as a lubricant. see:
Used a bit of aluminium scrap to turn up a spigot to hold the cylinders, for milling and drilling. Just using a dial gauge indicator to get everything central.
I wasn't happy with the way that the big end bolts fitted, they were allowing the big end sections to move relative to each other, so I'm fitting big end location tubes to maintain the fit and the bolts just tighten the assembly
I named him LEGACY since that is what fit the best out of my stash of car emblems! The head I don't know what it is, got it in the dump, the shoulders are the cover over a old clip on your headboard type light. Body is a jewelry type box, wood, and lighting parts of his hips,legs and parts of furniture legs. The base is an upside down metal dish. Arms are from some things I got at the state sale and the arms are part shoe stretcher parts and erector set parts. Hands are broom holders. Knobs are faucet handles, and other odds and ends.
Left hand is the machined but not polished assembly - the right is polished. The bolt in the front of the assemblies is in fact a made up top hat tapping tool
Schnell, of course.
Someone had been having fun with spare material. When I saw it, I thought of Werner's smiles.
