The success of the North Pier prompted the formation of the Blackpool South Jetty Company one year later in 1864. Impressed with the construction of Blackpool Pier (North Pier), the company hired the same contractor, Richard Laidlaw and Son of Glasgow for the project. This time, however, the company used the designs of Lieutenant-Colonel John Isaac Mawson rather than those of Eugenius Birch. When the pier was opened on 30 May 1868, it was 503 yards in length, 131 yards of which was a landing jetty for use at low tide. The first manager of the pier was Robert Bickerstaffe, coxswain of the first Blackpool lifeboat. Blackpool's lifeboat station is located next to Central Pier.
From the start, the new pier's emphasis was on fun rather than the genteel relaxation provided at North Pier. In the early days fun was provided mainly by dancing facilities, but in the 20th century, roller skating was introduced along with fairground rides and amusement machines. Steamboat excursions departed from the landing jetty as they did from North Pier. The dance halls became less popular after the Second World War and the facilities were adapted into a theatre, bars and amusement arcades by the 1970s.
The pierhead theatre was modernised in 1986 and became known as "Peggy Sue's Showboat". A striking addition came in 1990 when a 33 metre high Ferris wheel was erected, a half-scale reference to the Victorian attraction that had been part of the Winter Gardens complex a century earlier.
The pier now known as South Pier was built 30 years later.

Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...
Happy Miniature Sunday!
From ori-decorating the Buddhist temple in the miniature twin town of Toy-kyo we are traveling back in time to our spring Toy-ronto :-)
It's getting warmer here and I think we'll continue casting spring spells on the miniature level to summon the new season!
So I thought I will add a little bit more white blossoms to the charming miniature Magnolia tree with my magic brush :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is on the way - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)
Prompt:
The image presents a stylized portrait of a woman with futuristic, cyborg-like features against a dark teal-blue backdrop.
The most striking element is the transparent, helmet-like device partially enclosing her head. It's rounded and appears to be made of clear plastic or glass. Inside the helmet, visible mechanical components in a metallic olive green are attached to the back of her head, suggesting technological integration. These components include what looks like wiring, small cameras, and other indeterminate parts.
The woman's skin and lips have a glossy, almost plastic-like sheen with a matching green hue. This unusual texture reinforces the impression of artificiality and possibly modification. Her eyes are also highlighted, adding to the surreal quality of the image. Thin golden lines or wires extend from the helmet down the side of her neck, appearing integrated with her skin. Fabric-like material in a similar transparent green extends from her shoulders and trails off to the right, blending somewhat with the background.
The lighting emphasizes the woman's features and the technological elements, contributing to the overall otherworldly and technologically advanced aesthetic. The backdrop is simple but creates a sense of depth and mystery. The overall impression is one of a futuristic being or a human enhanced with technology.
Promptly triggered by the truth?
Precise reality can be harsh for the feeble, frail, weak minds.
I can't find more dignified adjective to describe the uneducated
that want to remain ignorant and missing the essence of the truth.

Visit The Beast Forest.
For the first churchly visit of that November 2023 trip to the southern French provinces of Roussillon and Languedoc, I will treat you to a truly unique place, the so-called “priory” of Serrabone, which features an absolute world-class masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture: its tribune.
I said “so-called” above because a priory, in the genuine acception of the word, is a secondary monastery established by an abbey. It is populated by monks sent by that abbey. Those monks are led by a prior, whose superior is the abbot of the founding abbey. In the case of Serrabone, there first was a late Carolingian parochial church established in this mountainous locale and first mentioned in writing in 1069. The walls of the nave are, for some part, still those of that ancient church.
It was then, at a time when local lords used to meddle more and more in the affairs of the Church (which was one of the reasons that prompted the coming of the Gregorian reform), that the viscount of Cerdagne and the local lord of Corsavy installed on the Serrabone mountaintop an unusually mixed group of canons and canonesses to live in accordance with the Augustinian Rule.
A new college church was built (mostly by enlarging the previous one) and consecrated in 1151. Its architecture is harmonious but very simple, as one would expect: in the Middle Ages, those mountains were populated (hence the creation of the parish) and did feed their inhabitants (serra bona in Catalan means “good mountain”), but there was precious little commerce with the outside world and the locals had nothing of real value to export. Therefore, the local economy was pretty much a closed circuit and money was far from flowing in abundantly. The style of the church, even though there were donations from the aforementioned lords, reflects this paucity of financial resources.
It is therefore a total mystery how the magnificent sculpted tribune, which would have cost a veritable fortune, was funded, and by whom. Nothing has ever been demonstrated in that matter, although many have conjectured in various directions. The only certainty we have is that it was built around the time when the church itself was completed, i.e., the mid–1150s.
The culmination of the “priory” did not last very long: canons and canonesses are not monks and nuns, their commitment is found throughout history and places to be much less strong, and by the late 1200s they had already broken communal life and begun to live in their own separate homes. Decadence went to such extremes that the “priory” was secularized by the pope in the 16th century and made a dependency of the chapter of the cathedral of Solsona. The last “prior” died in 1612 and the church returned to its simple parochial status.
The place was progressively abandoned as people left the mountains to go live easier lives in the valleys. It was almost in ruins when it was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1875 and the restoration began. Fortunately, the tribune had been protected and its capitals and columns hidden by the locals.
Those of you who will say “We have already seen this one!” like they spot twice-used footage in a movie are right, and I congratulate them for being so attentive!
I admit I unashamedly post a black-and-white version of an earlier color photograph of the underside of the Serrabone tribune —tell me which one you like best! Personally, I like both versions very much: the color version gives you additional information which is important and an integral part of the experience, but the black-and-white one retains, I feel, more “mystery” and ambiance, leaving more to the imagination...

#DoodlewashJanuary2025 prompt: Popcorn.
January 19 is National Popcorn Day.
Did you know the first popcorn-popping machine was built in the 1890s by Charles Cretors, who then introduced the horse-drawn popcorn wagon? Before long, vendors set up in front of movie theaters, which is why you’ve spent many movie nights picking hulls out of your teeth!
