Post Card of the Main Street in Morrisburg Ontario looking west. The photo was taken some time before 1910. The post card was sent on July 31, 1910 from Mr. Lawrence B. Smith to Rev. N. MacLeod in Brockville Ontario. It reads, "Dear Mr. MacLeod. I am here as you will readily understand. I had a good reception. I am going to hear Mr Cameron tomorrow, also to the Methodist Church. I hope to have a good time. With all kind regards, I remain, Yours Sincerely Lawrence B. Smith. P.S. I will try and bring that back that you told me to." Lawrence was staying at the home of George Deeks.
The caption on this post card reads: “Dixie Boulevard along the scenic Cotee River in New Port Richey, Fla. Photo by Ted Lagerberg.” The post card is postmarked Feb. 19, 1964. (149)
St Anne's Pier is a Victorian era pleasure pier in the English seaside resort of St Anne's-on-the-Sea, Lancashire. It lies on the estuary of the River Ribble. The pier, designed by A. Dowson, was completed in 1885 and was one of the earliest public buildings in St Anne's, a 19th-century planned town. The pier was originally intended to be a sedate promenading venue for the resort's visitors, but attractions were later added. Changes made to the estuary channels to improve access to Preston Dock left the pier on dry land and ended its steamer services to Blackpool and Liverpool.
A Tudor-style entrance was built in 1899. Early 20th-century additions included a Moorish-style pavilion in 1904 and the Floral Hall in 1910. The Moorish Pavilion was destroyed by fire in 1974, shortly after the town's centenary; the Floral Hall burned down in 1982. Originally 914 feet (279 m) long, the pier was reduced to 600 feet (180 m) by the demolition of the seaward end. English Heritage has designated the pier a Grade II listed building.
There was some delay in building the new pier because of an economic downturn. Engineers inspected the site in 1879, and construction began in 1880. The architect was A. Dowson. The pier is constructed of cast iron columns and lattice girders with wooden decking and intricate decorative iron-work on the deck. The columns were sunk to a depth of 50 feet (15 m) The original structure was 914 feet (279 m) long and 19 feet (5.8 m) wide. It included a band kiosk built of glass and iron.[12] Construction cost £18,000 and took more than five years. The pier was opened by Frederick Stanley on 15 June 1885, in a ceremony attended by local dignitaries, school children, the Preston Militia band, and the Order of Mechanics. The opening featured the launch of a lifeboat named the Laura Janet, whose crew was lost the following year in the Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster.
In 1891 a wooden landing jetty at the end of the pier was extended, in an L shape, by engineering and architecture firm Garlick and Sykes. The new iron extension was three storeys high and measured 120 feet (37 m) long by 90 feet (27 m) wide. After its addition, the pier was 945 feet (288 m) in length. The jetty was used for steamer services from Blackpool and Liverpool. The passing of the Ribble Navigation and Preston Dock Act of 1883 led to dredging of the river channels to improve access to Preston Dock. These changes to the estuary meant that the pier was eventually left on dry land, ruining the resort's steamer trade

What a walk this turned into. Each step through a good foot of snow up towards the river.

This is my post card for Susan for our swap....still in my palms and moons phase....I like this one...for some reason it reminds me of Morroco....even though I've never been there! *L*
The buildings on the left including "The Astoria" were demolished to build St Mary's Way, the main road to Burnley
Model shop was the electric showrooms
Some thoughts about how we could do post-up exercises:
1. They could be pre-drawn templates of characters we see all the time. Fill in the details in the session.
2. We might gain a lot by showing pictures of simple scenes (2 or more people) and asking people to tell us what they are saying/thinking.
When was the last time you received a post card???
Sending a postcard is much more intimate and meaningful than a plain old email from an Internet Cafe.
