OVERLAND COTTON MILL
1314 W. Evans Ave.
National Register 4/3/2001, 5DV.2458
"The 1891 building operated as Colorado’s only successful cotton mill until 1903. Utilizing load-bearing masonry walls to maximize natural illumination, its layout and fenestration typify large industrial buildings of the late nineteenth century. At its peak, the mill’s annual production reached 12 million yards of cloth in a variety of types and patterns. The mill also played a brief but important role in local labor history, particularly in relation to children in the work force. Operating as a munitions factory from 1941 to 1945, the plant was so important to World War II production efforts it was immediately repaired and restored to full operational status after a devastating fire in 1942." --Description from the Colorado Historical Society Website.

Afghanistan: October 1968
This is a 1948 Maudslay bus (JXM 563) I was co-driving from London to India; in this shot we'd pulled up on the deserted road from Herat, about 90 miles from Kandahar, and from nowhere appeared an Afghan soldier, accompanied by a little man in a suit (on the right) who was offering to change money. The weather was still fairly hot; the front windscreen opened to let even more hot air into the bus – plus even more dust.
On the front of the vehicle, its destination indicator still said, 'Ramsgate' – the nearest we'd been to Ramsgate was catching a cross-channel ferry at Dover. On arrival at Delhi, we had driven about 6,000 miles and taken five weeks to do so. At Delhi I left the bus and travelled to Calcutta by train; from there I flew to Bangkok, because in those days Burma was still closed – foreigners were not allowed to travel through the country. After a series of train journeys down through Thailand and Malaysia, I eventually arrived in Singapore, where it was impossible to find a cheap way to get to Darwin, in the north of Australia. By then I was well and truly skint: I had to bite the bullet and send a telegram to England for £50 to be wired to a Singapore bank, so that I could buy a plane ticket to Darwin. When I arrived in Australia I had just AU$2, and a year later when I boarded a ship bound for Los Angeles I had more money than I'd ever had before. This was the late 1960s and in Oz the lower cost of living meant I could save money, whereas in England, it was very difficult.
After I left it in India, the bus was then driven by its owner, back across Pakistan to Afghanistan – where it was sold – to begin its third career as a local bus operating in the Kabul district.
