The lone Grade II listed bottle oven in an advanced state of disrepair dates back to 1832 and is said to be the oldest still standing in the Potteries. It was refurbished in 2007 following a grant of £300,000 from English Heritage and is part of the remnants of the Top Bridge pottery works built in 1773 by Edward Bourne. The history of the three adjoining C18th pottery works (or 'potbanks' as they are referred to locally) the Royal Bradwell, Longport and Top Bridge works is quite complicated and mirrors the histories of most of the manufacturers in The Potteries. The three potbanks on this site were built at different times and evolved organically along the Newcastle to Burslem road, with wharfage at the rear on the Trent & Mersey canal. Small pottery companies have existed in the Brownhills area at Trubshaw Cross, Staffordshire for 350 years or more. The origins of Bradwell Pottery can be traced back to the Elers brothers who brought over the salt glazing process from their native Holland in the C17th. Another family dynasty which lasted right up to 2003 was founded by Ralph Wood who was apprenticed to Master Potter John Astbury in 1730 at the age of 15. Ralph Wood's great nephew John Wood established his own pottery at the Bradwell Works in 1787 and contemporary news sheets reported that his son Ralph Wood III 'continued the firm after his father's murder' - dangerous business, this pottery thing! In the C19th the Wood family were in business as Capper and Wood Ltd at the Royal Bradwell Pottery producing teapots. Arthur Wood became sole owner in 1904 and took over the rest of the Longport Pottery works in 1924. It had been established in 1772 by John Brindley, younger brother of James Brindley Engineer who constructed the Trent & Mersey Canal which opened from Burton-on-Trent as far as Stoke in the same year. The Top Bridge and Longport works were both acquired by John Davenport in 1794 specialising in the production of creamware, later introducing bone china and glass blowing on the same site. John Davenport's sons continued the business until 1887 when the Longport works was sold to Thomas Hughes who already occupied Top Bridge next door and he renamed it Unicorn Pottery. In 1896 Top Bridge was purchased by Price Brothers Burslem Ltd, in turn becoming part of the Arthur Wood Group in 1934. Three years later Arthur's son Gerald Wood bought a controlling interest in Kensington Pottery Ltd, Hanley and moved production into Top Bridge Works alongside Price Bros. In December 1961 the two occupants of the site were amalgamated as Price & Kensington Potteries Ltd and concentrated on the production of tea and coffee sets, renaming the works 'Price's National Teapots'. Changes in lifestyle and foreign competition saw a decreasing demand in the 1990's and unfortunately the Arthur Wood Group went into Receivership in 2003. The brand passed to Rayware Ltd who continue to use the name today on product made in China. The site with the three adjacent potbanks was acquired by Middlesex based property developer Charles Lewis & Co. The historic site has been allowed to progress to a state of terminal dereliction; a process accelerated by a criminally negligent owner, arsonists, petty thieves stealing the fabric of the building brick by brick and capped by Stoke City Council which demolished the main part of Price's National Teapot Works despite the Grade II listing, over a weekend in 2019 because it was deemed unsafe.

PRICE OF COAL
They were carried here
The dead , dying and injured
Then gently washed and tendered
Walls still whispering
With soft voices of nurses and doctors
The brave cries of wounded men
In ----- the medical room

BIG PIT , Blaenavon , South Wales
In this room was a bath, with a sling –where the men were washed , before treatment.
Sights and sounds ,here must have been harrowing at times.

The 45-story Icon Las Olas with a total of 272 units will be constructed at the site of the former Hyde Park Market. When completed this building will the the tallest in the city of Fort Lauderdale.
Of course, for a project that had its original roots in 1999, there have been changes along the way. While originally intended to open as a condo, it may ultimately become high-end rental apartments. Depending on market conditions, Related Group may convert them to condos at a future point.
Fort Lauderdale had approved the project way back in December 2005, even when the housing boom was ending. The next door historical Stranahan House supporters weren't ready to accept the project as a neighbor, pursuing contrarian legal action to convert the site to a national park. But they didn't get to cover much ground; the case to convert was dismissed by an appeals court in 2011, and the project stalled during the housing market collapse.
When prices bottomed out in 2012, the market took a turn back toward increased construction. And Icon is now benefitting from the latest building boom. And from the conditions in Miami.
The Miami-Dade market is starting to get tapped out," said Peter Zalewski, head of CondoVultures consulting firm. "When Related goes [into Fort Lauderdale], other developers realize the game is on. Related also announced plans to turn the former Ireland's Inn on Fort Lauderale beach into more condos.
So the market has opened the path back to development. Are the community struggles (a.k.a. the tug-of-war between Stranahan and Icon) laid to rest, too?
The waters ahead look calm. The Sun Sentinel reports a response from Leo Hansen, president of the Stranahan board: "any animosity from the long legal battle has disappeared." Old and new can live together peacefully, right? Hansen believes so, saying that "our goal is to be good neighbors."

We went thrifting this weekend....
The little springy "boing boing" action of the tail is toooo cute! It was in near perfect condition too. Score!
Now I know many Aussies have probably seen their local petrol prices even lower than this, but I recorded this local servo on my afternoon walk recently as it seemed to me that the lowest prices in years could not last forever. With travel restricted and our pump prices loosely tied to the rise and fall of international prices, petrol prices in many of Australia’s larger cities at least go through cycles from highs to lows and back again on an all too regular basis. And not just small price movements either. We are often urged to buy now, it’s the bottom of the cycle.
Fuel companies are fairly well despised for the manner in which the saw toothed prices will go up considerably overnight. In Brisbane, which has one of the worst cycles in Australia, the highest price pre-coronavirus was normally $1.73.9 for standard 91 octane unleaded. It would then slowly fall over a number of weeks to about $1.29.9 before shooting up again. We are urged to use independents but most sell, in Brisbane for about the same price. One exception is a Puma station not that far from us at Northside Zillmere which usually has the best prices around.
The large supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths will argue that although these are their standard prices, customers can obtain fuel cheaper by using their docket discounts, usually 4c per litre and even more if you buy a certain amount of “grocery” items. Some independent stations also accept their dockets or give similar discounts if you show your local motoring organisations’s card.
The truth is, most believe, including the government and motoring organisations that most of the time we are being ripped off. Here’s another example. Just prior to the lockdown when we were at the Sunshine Coast, average prices there were 10-15c per litre cheaper than Brisbane. Consistently, not just at one station. And often the same applies once you cross the Pine River Bridge in metro Brisbane’s northern suburbs to Redcliffe where the prices will shoot up by a similar amount - just by crossing a bridge. They must think the public are suckers! They say it’s lack of competition.
The station photographed is a barometer of prices....it is consistently the first one to put prices up often a week or more before the said Puma goes up.
On yesterday night’s TV news, they announced the price had suddenly gone up round town. Strange, that coincides with the lifting of local restrictions on travel from this weekend to 50 kms. By my estimate, from what I saw, the price per litre increase was to about $1.19.9, still cheap but approximately 30c or more per litre, overnight. Is that same % reflected in the international oil price? Somehow I doubt it.
Unless we get a second wave, and travel is restricted again, which is entirely possible in my mind we won’t see prices this low again. So, this one is definitely for posterity!
In March 2022, the price per litre, post Ukraine had climbed to $2.19.9
The Birmingham Main Line Canal in Westside, Birmingham, West Midlands.
On 24 January 1767 a number of prominent Birmingham businessmen, including Matthew Boulton and others from the Lunar Society, held a public meeting in the White Swan, High Street, Birmingham to consider the possibility of building a canal from Birmingham to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Wolverhampton, taking in the coalfields of the Black Country. They commissioned the canal engineer James Brindley to propose a route. Brindley came back with a largely level route via Smethwick, Oldbury, Tipton, Bilston and Wolverhampton to Aldersley.
On 24 February 1768 an Act of Parliament was passed to allow the building of the canal, with branches at Ocker Hill and Wednesbury where there were coal mines. The first phase of building was to Wednesbury whereupon the price of coal sold to domestic households in Birmingham halved overnight. Vested interests of the sponsors caused the creation of two terminal wharves in Birmingham. The 1772 Newhall Branch and wharf (now built upon) originally extended north of, and parallel to Great Charles Street. The 1773 Paradise Street Branch split off at Old Turn Junction and headed through Broad Street Tunnel, turned left at what is now Gas Street Basin and under Bridge Street to wharves on a tuning fork-shaped pair of long basins: Paradise Wharf, also called Old Wharf. The Bir-mingham Canal Company head office was finally built there, opposite the western end of Paradise Street.
By 6 November 1769, 10 miles (16 km) had been completed to Hill Top collieries in West Bromwich, with a one mile summit pound at Smethwick. Brindley had tried to dig a cutting through the hill at Smethwick but had encountered ground too soft to cope with. The canal rose through six narrow (7 ft) locks to the summit level and descended through another six at Spon Lane.
In 1770 work started towards Wolverhampton. On 21 September 1772 the canal was joined with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Junction via another 20 locks (increased to 21 in 1784 to save water). Brindley died a few days later. The canal measured 22 miles and 5 fur-longs (22⅝ miles), mostly following the contour of the land but with deviations to factories and mines in the Black Country and Birmingham.
Over the next thirty years, as more canals and branches were built or connected it became necessary to review the long, winding, narrow Old Main Line. With a single towpath boats passing in opposite directions had to negotiate their horses and ropes. In 1824 Thomas Telford was commissioned to examine alternatives.
Telford proposed major changes to the section between Birmingham and Smethwick, widening and straightening the canal, providing towpaths on each side, and cutting through Smethwick Summit to bypass the locks, allowing lock-free passage from Birmingham to Tipton.
By 1827 the New Main Line passed straight through, and linked to, the loops of the Old Main Line, creating Oozells Loop, Icknield Port Loop, Soho Loop, Cape Loop and Soho Foundry Loop, allowing continued access to the existing factories and wharves.
A year earlier he had built an improved Rotton Park Reservoir (Edgbaston Reservoir) on the site of an existing fish pool, bringing its capacity to 300 million imperial gallons (1,400,000 m3). A canal feeder took water to, and along, a raised embankment on the south side of the New Main Line to his new Engine Arm branch canal and across an elegant cast iron aqueduct to top up the higher Wolverhampton Level at Smethwick Summit. The reservoir also fed water to the Birmingham Level at the adjacent Icknield Port Loop.
The Smethwick Summit was bypassed by 71 ft cutting through Lunar Society member, Samuel Galton's land, creating the Galton Valley, 70 feet deep and 150 feet wide, running parallel to the Old Main Line. Telford's changes here were completed in 1829.
By 1838 the New Main Line was complete: 22⅝ miles of slow canal reduced to 15⅝; between Birmingham and Tipton, a lock-free dual carriageway. It was also called the Island Line as it was cut straight through the hill at Smethwick known as the Island.
