Visit on March 10, 2012 to the recently refurbished "Driving America" transportation display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The 999 was built by Henry Ford and Thomas Cooper to gain public recognition and attract investors to Ford's new company by building the world's fastest racing vehicle. This was Barney Oldfield's first race car and he broke several records with it. 1902 Ford 999

Carte de visite by L.I. Prince of New Orleans, La. A saddler and harness-maker before the war, Ohio-born Charles O. Oldfield (1834-1920) began his military service in April 1861 as a corporal in Company A of his home state's 20th Infantry. He spent his three-month enlistment in western Virginia. Afterwards, he married Sarah Armstrong and then, in July 1862, returned to the army as sergeant in the 96th Ohio Infantry. He and his fellow Buckeyes spent much of the rest of the war in the Department of the Gulf. Oldfield is pictured here as a second lieutenant, a rank to which he was promoted in January 1863. Oldfield served in this capacity until July 1864, when he advanced to first lieutenant. He mustered out a year later with the survivors of the 96th. Back in Ohio, he and Sarah started a family that grew to include six children. Following her death in 1879, he married Nellie A. and had three more children with her. Oldfield died in 1920 at the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Sandusky, Ohio. He was 85.

Alleyway linking Oldfield Road and Stoke Newington Church Street, London N16. Both photos above are looking north towards Stoke Newington Church Street.
The alley comes out near the entrance to The Auld Shillelagh pub in Church Street.

_____________________
I like alleys. Show me the entrance to an alleyway and usually I want to explore it. (There are exceptions.)
This liking and curiosity may go back to my primary school days. Finding a new route to walk home from school was then part of having more independence. A way to open up and learn our local neighbourhood and enlarge my mental map. Plus saving a few old pennies (the bus fare) to buy something I chose.
But - as I learned in my twenties from reading Jane Jacobs - it's far more than that. Going down the same roads, especially long streets without alternative routes, can get monotonous and boring.
"... it is fluidity of use, and the mixing of paths, not homogeneity of architecture, that ties together city neighborhoods into pools of city use, whether those neighborhoods are predominately for work or predominately for residence."
— (Source: Jane Jacobs - The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Chapter 9 "The need for small blocks". "Most blocks must be short; that is, streets and opportunities to turn corners must be frequent."

§ Why We Love Alleys article by Benjamin Grant, 16 May 2013.
All of us have a child inside but we don't remember when we locked up our child into our inner prison. Take a glance into child's eyes, they are wet, the baby is sad...what are you waiting for open the door?
Listen (please): The inner child, Mike Oldfield
Tots nosaltres tenim un xiquet dins. Ja no recordes quan vas tancar al noi dins la teva presó interior. Mira fixament als seus ulls: està n humits, el xiquet està trist...¿a què esperes per a obrir-li la porta?
Escolta (please!) The inner child, Mike Oldfield
Todos nosotros tenemos un niño dentro. Ya no recuerdas cuando lo encerraste dentro de tu prisión interior. Mira fÃjamente a sus ojos: están húmedos, está triste...¿a qué esperas para abrirle la puerta?
Escucha (please) The inner child, Mike Oldfield
Dedicada a tots aquells que, com jo, heu decidit no tancar-li mai la porta
Dedicated to people like me, who decided to keep the door opened
Dedicada a todos aquellos que, como yo, decidÃsteis no cerrarle nunca la puerta
The Postcard
A postally unused cartolina postale that was published by Vitove of Verona. The card has a divided back, and the image is a glossy real photograph.
Verona Arena
The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra in Verona, Italy built in 30 AD. It is still in use today, and is internationally famous for the large-scale opera performances given there.
It is one of the best-preserved ancient structures of its kind. In ancient times, the arena's capacity was nearly 30,000 people. The stage for concerts and opera performances decreases the available places to a maximum of 15,000.
It will be used as the closing ceremony venue for the 2026 Winter Olympics, and two weeks later will be used for the Opening Ceremony for the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
The Amphitheatre
The building itself was built in AD 30 on a site which was then beyond the city walls. The ludi (shows and games) staged there were so famous that spectators came from many other places, often far away, to witness them.
The round facade of the building was originally composed of white and pink limestone from Valpolicella, but after a major earthquake in 1117, which almost completely destroyed the structure's outer ring, the stone was quarried for re-use in other buildings.
Nevertheless, it impressed medieval visitors to the city, one of whom considered it to have been a labyrinth, without ingress or egress. Giovanni Antonio Panteo's work De Laudibus Veronae (1483) remarked that it struck the viewer as a construction that was more than human.
The Arena as an Opera Venue
The first use of the arena as an opera venue began during the Renaissance. Some operatic performances were later mounted in the building during the 1850's, owing to its outstanding acoustics.
In 1913, operatic performances in the arena commenced in earnest due to the zeal and initiative of the Italian opera tenor Giovanni Zenatello and the impresario Ottone Rovato.
The first 20th.-century operatic production at the arena, a staging of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida, took place on the 10th. August 1913 to mark the birth of Verdi 100 years earlier. Musicians Puccini and Mascagni were in attendance.
Since then, summer seasons of opera have been mounted continually at the arena, except in 1915–18 and 1940–45.
In modern times, at least four productions (sometimes up to six) are mounted each year between June and August. During the winter months, the local opera and ballet companies perform at the Teatro Filarmonico.
Admission tickets to sit on the arena's stone steps are much cheaper than tickets giving access to the padded chairs available on lower levels. Candles are distributed to the audience and lit after sunset around the arena.
Every year over 500,000 people see productions of the popular operas in the arena. Once capable of housing 30,000 patrons per performance (now limited to 15,000 because of safety reasons), the arena has featured many of world's most notable opera singers.
In the post-World War II era, they have included Giuseppe Di Stefano, Maria Callas, Tito Gobbi and Renata Tebaldi among other names. The official arena shop has historical recordings made by some of them available for sale.
The opera productions in the Verona Arena did not use any microphones or loudspeakers until a sound amplification system was installed in 2011.
Other Uses of the Arena
In recent times, the arena has hosted several concerts of international rock and pop bands, among which Zucchero Fornaciari holds the record of the highest number of concerts in the location, 38 from 1989 to 2017.
Other performers include Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, One Direction, and Simple Minds (whose concert film Verona was filmed at the venue during their Street Fighting Years Tour on the 15th. September 1989).
The list also includes Duran Duran, Deep Purple, The Who, Dire Straits, Mike Oldfield, Rod Stewart, Michael Flatley, Sting, Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney, Jamiroquai, Whitney Houston, Mumford & Sons, Kiss, Spandau Ballet, and Evanescence.
Barney Oldfield (1878-1946) was an American race car driver. He was the first person to drive a car 60 miles per hour.

On a cold grey Sunday 12 February 2012, GWR King Class 4-6-0 no 6024 King Edward I running around 50 late due to signalling problems between Didcot and Swindon with the 1Z29 London Paddington to Bristol, Cathedrals Express passes under Brougham Hayes Junction Road bridge and accelerates towards Oldfield Park Station following its scheduled stop at Bath Spa.
Multi-instrumentalist musican and composer.
He is posing in front of 'Tubular Bells III' which, whilst not the best of his albums made the best backdrop. He is stood on 'Tubular Bells II' which is, in my opinion, one of his best and is one of my Favourite Albums Of All Time. Indeed I'm listening to it as I type this ...
This used to sell Texaco, Changed to Total and back again to Texaco in 2014 . Now selling Jet petrol.
Couldn't resist it.
Passing under Brook Road bridge and it's fine display of Buddleja davidii, 57305 Northern Princess at the rear of 1Z22 Manchester Victoria - Bristol Temple Meads Northern Belle luxury excursion seen hammering through Oldfield Park station, 57312 Solway Princess was up front.
At the time the luxury rail service was still operated by Direct Rail Services (DRS), or Direct 'ail' Services as can just be seen (under magnification), the gold vinyl lettering and logo under the cabside metal number plate.
For a better view of the missing 'R' (there's an oxymoron surely Pete, you can't view something that you confess is missing, mmm, naaah) check out the inestimable Glen Batten's page, Glen (who gets far too many mentions around here...apparently) got a good piece of the return working at Bathampton junction later that afternoon.
To the right of the frame, (probably) stage and screen royalty in the form of the wonderfully talented Ian McDiarmid, in a career spanning over 50 years the Scottish-born thespian is undoubtedly best known for playing evil Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars film franchise. I noted that my fellow enthusiast had chosen to video the working and as he passed me to leave the platform I quipped that I thought that I may have got a pretty decent photo to which he replied 'Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!' - he'd obviously seen my Flickr page already, still a bit harsh.
