Inspired by The Red Dress that was on display at b-side 2024 (see below) the Portland Dress collects stories of the Isle of Portland thread-by-thread. Co-ordinated by Antje Rook and Sarah Whiteside, some 300 island residents contributed small embroideries that were stitched into the final dress for b-side 2025.
In the foreground, a resident displays the dress whilst the actual dress is on a mannequin in the background.
I haven't uploaded any photos for ages:-( When I attempted to resubscribe my pro account somebody tried to 'piggyback' to my card which resulted in rather unpleasant experience of having my bank account blocked off. Well... as you can imagine it put me off a little.
The exterior of the original Portland station, opened in October 1865 as the terminus of the Weymouth & Portland Railway. Naturally built from Portland Stone the building is seen here in 1969, shortly before its demolition to make way for a roundabout. When the line was extended to Easton on the top of the Island under the auspices of the Easton & Church Hope Railway in 1902, trains to and from Easton had to reverse in-and-out from the original terminus station here, until a new 'through' station was opened on the Easton line on 7th May 1905. The original Portland station then served as a goods depot, until total closure of the line in April 1965.
The Portland Bill lighthouse was built in 1906 and is 35m tall. To the left is the Trinity House Obelisk, which was built in 1844 to warn of the presence of a low rock shelf. I confess that this one is a bit of a tourist shot!

Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway, Alna, Maine. This two-foot gauge line is built on the right-of-way of the original WW&F and runs from Sheepscot Station over three miles of track (with more opening in August 2022). The star attraction is 0-4-4T No. 9, built by the Portland Company in 1891 for the Sandy River, and later used by the WW&F until its abandonment in the 1930s. The railroad is an incredible time machine into the past. You won't find radios - all moves are done with whistle signals and hand signs.
Portland Head Light, is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.
