The Postcard
A postcard published by E. T. W. Dennis. The road in the photograph is actually Charing Cross Road -- St. Martin's Lane is the smaller road on the right of the photograph.
The card was posted in London W. C. on Wednesday the 6th. September 1905 to:
Mr. Norris,
41 Norwood Grove,
West Derby Road,
Liverpool.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"We are here for 8 days,
and enjoying ourselves
splendidly.
We made up our minds
all at once to come here
for a holiday.
Kind regards from
J. Gillespie".
The Edith Cavell Memorial
The island in Charing Cross Road is where the Edith Cavell Memorial was built after the Great War. It was unveiled by Queen Alexandra on the 17th. March 1920. It is Grade I listed.
Edith Cavell was a British nurse from Norfolk. She was matron at Berkendael Medical Institute in Brussels when the Great War broke out. In addition to nursing soldiers from both sides without distinction, she assisted some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium.
Edith was arrested in August 1915, court-martialled, found guilty of treason, and shot by a German firing squad on the 12th. October 1915. Her story was used in British propaganda as an example of German barbarism and moral depravity.
Her remains were initially buried in Belgium, but returned to Great Britain after the war in May 1919 for a state funeral at Westminster Abbey, before she was finally buried at Norwich Cathedral.
Although Cavell's sister suggested no monuments should be erected, funds for a public memorial were raised by a committee chaired by Viscount Burnham, owner of The Daily Telegraph, together with the Lord Mayor of London, the Bishop of London, and the chairman of the London County Council.
Sculptor Sir George Frampton accepted the commission in 1915, but declined any fee.
Description of the Memorial
Frampton adopted a Modernist style for the memorial, which comprises a 10 feet (3.0 m) high statue of Cavell in her nurse's uniform sculpted from white Carrara marble, standing on a grey Cornish granite pedestal.
The statue stands in front of a larger grey granite pylon which stands 40 feet (12 m) high and weighs 175 tons. The top of the block is carved into a cross and statue of a mother and child. The whole memorial is elevated on three steps.
On the pedestal beneath the statue of Cavell is an inscription which reads:
"Edith Cavell
Brussels
Dawn
October 12th. 1915
Patriotism is not enough
I must have no hatred or
bitterness for anyone."
The last three lines of the inscription quote her comment to Reverend Stirling Gahan, an Anglican chaplain who was permitted to give her Holy Communion on the night before her execution. These words were initially left off, and added in 1924 at the request of the National Council of Women.
The University of Kansas School of Medicine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on Wednesday the 6th. September 1905, the University of Kansas School of Medicine opened its doors for the first day of classes.
A whopping 125 physicians, working generally on a voluntary basis, were available to teach KU's enrolled medical students.

This is my first picture i have had published and I'm absolutely oven the moon, really, no pun intended.
I can't even begin to explain how happy this has made me, I'm a total amateur, I'm not a professional photographer, i just like to get out there and take some pictures purely as a hobby when I have a spare 5 minutes, i only just bought my first DSLR 2 months before taking this picture on it.
I was paid for the picture, but the money actually means very little, what I'm really ecstatic about is the fact i now have a free copy of a magazine that has one of my pictures in it, money can't buy that.
3 years taking pictures when i could as a hobby and now i have a picture Published, need a say more ? I'm just so happy.
I don't necessarily agree with black & white photos and especially not night photos, but they paid for it, so the can use it how they like.
The original picture is here.

All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.

Gaochang (Chinese: 高昌; pinyin: Gāochāng), also called Karakhoja, Qara-hoja, Kara-Khoja, or Karahoja (قاراغوجا in Uyghur), is the site of a ruined, ancient oasis city on the northern rim of the inhospitable Taklamakan Desert in present-day Xinjiang, China. The site is also known in published reports as Chotscho, Khocho, Qocho, or Qočo. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, Gaochang was referred to as "Halahezhuo" (哈拉和卓) (Qara-khoja) and Huozhou.
The ruins are located 30 km from Turpan. The archaeological remains are just outside the modern town of Gaochang, at a place called Idykut-schari or Idikutschari by local residents. (see the work of Albert Grünwedel in the external links below). Artistic depictions of the city have been published by Albert von Le Coq. Gaochang is considered in some sources to have been be a "Chinese colony", that is, it was located in a region otherwise occupied at the time by West Eurasian peoples.
A busy trading center, it was a stopping point for merchant traders traveling on the Silk Road. It was destroyed in wars during the 14th century, and old palace ruins and inside and outside cities can still be seen today. The ruins are located 30 km southeast of modern Turpan.
Near Gaochang is another major archeological site: the Astana tombs.
HISTORY
JUSHI JINGDOM AND EARLY HAN-CHINESE RULE
The earliest people known to have lived in the area were the Gushi (or Jushi). The region around Turfan was described during the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) as being occupied by the Jūshī, while control over the region swayed between the Han-Chinese and the Xiongnu.
Gaochang was built in the 1st century BC, it was an important site along the Silk Road. It played a key role as a transportation hub in western China. The Jushi leaders invited the Chinese Han dynasty to take over, and pledged their allegiance. In 327, the Gaochang Commandery (jùn) was created by the Former Liang under the Han Chinese ruler Zhang Gui. The Chinese set up a military colony/garrison, organized the land into multiple divisions and Han Chinese colonists from the Hexi region and the central plains also settled in the region.
After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, northern China split into multiple states, including the Central Asian oases. Gaochang was ruled by the Former Liang, Former Qin, and Northern Liang as part of a commandery. In 383 The General Lu Guang of the Former Qin seized control of the region.
In 439, remnants of the Northern Liang, led by Juqu Wuhui and Juqu Anzhou, fled to Gaochang where they would hold onto power until 460 when they were conquered by the Rouran Khaganate (which some scholars believe to have been the origin of the Avars).
ROURAN, GAOCHE AND GÖKTÜRK RULE
From the mid-5th century until the mid-7th century, there existed four independent statelets in the narrow Turpan basin. These were controlled by the Kan clan, Zhang clan, Ma clan, and Qu clan.
A the time of its conquest by the Rouran Khaganate, there were more than ten thousand Han Chinese households in Gaochang. The Rouran Khaganate, which was based in Mongolia, appointed a Han Chinese named Kan Bozhou to rule as King of Gaochang in 460, and it became a separate vassal kingdom of the Khaganate. Kan was dependent on Rouran backing. Yicheng and Shougui were the last two kings of the Chinese Kan family to rule Gaochang.
At this time the Gaoche (高車) was rising to challenge power of the Rouran in the Tarim Basin. The Gaoche king Afuzhiluo (阿伏至羅) killed King Kan Shougui, who was the nephew of Kan Bozhou. and appointed a Han from Dunhuang, named Zhang Mengming (張孟明), as his own vassal King of Gaochang. Gaochang thus passed under Gaoche rule.
Later, Zhang Mengming was killed in an uprising by the people of Gaochang and replaced by Ma Ru (馬儒). In 501, Ma Ru himself was overthrown and killed, and the people of Gaochang appointed Qu Jia (麴嘉) of Jincheng (in Gansu) as their king. Qu Jia hailed from the Zhong district of Jincheng commandery (金城, roughly corresponding to modern day Lanzhou, Gansu) Qu Jia at first pledged allegiance to the Rouran, but the Rouran khaghan was soon killed by the Gaoche, and he had to submit to Gaoche overlordship. During Qu rule, powerful families established marriage ties with each other and dominated the kingdom, they included the Zhang, Fan, Yin, Ma, Shi, and Xin families. Later, when the Göktürks emerged as the supreme power in the region, the Qu dynasty of Gaochang became vassals of the Göktürks.
While the material civilization of Kucha to its west in this period remained chiefly Indo-Iranian in character, in Goachang it gradually merged into the Tang aesthetics. In 607 the ruler of Gaochang Qu Boya paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty, but his attempt at sinicization provoked a coup which overthrew the Qu ruler. The Qu family was restored six years later, and the successor Qu Wentai welcomed the Tang pilgrim Xuanzang with great enthusiasm in 629 AD
TANG RULE
However, fearing Tang expansion, Qu Wentai later formed an alliance with the Western Turks and rebelled against Tang suzerainty. Emperor Taizong sent an army led by General Hou Junji against the kingdom in 640, and Qu Wentai apparently died of shock at news of the approaching army. Gaochang was annexed by the Chinese Tang dynasty and turned into a sub-prefecture of Xizhou (西州), and the seat of government of Anxi (安西). Before the Chinese conquered Gaochang, it was an impediment to Chinese access to Tarim and Transoxiania.
Under Tang rule, Gaochang was inhabited by Chinese, Sogdians, and Tocharians.
Tang dynasty became greatly weakened due to the An Lushan Rebellion, and in 755, the Chinese were forced to pull back their soldiers from the region. The area was first taken by the Tibetans, then finally by the Uyghurs in 803, who called the area Kocho (Qocho).
UYGHUR KINGDOM OF QOCHO
After 840 it then became occupied by Uyghurs fleeing Kirghiz invasion of their land. The Uyghurs established the Kingdom of Qocho (Kara-Khoja) in 850. The inhabitants of Qocho practiced Buddhism, Manichaeism and Nestorian Christianity. The Uyghurs converted to Buddhism and sponsored building of temple caves in the nearby Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves where depictions of Uyghur sponsors may be seen. The Buddhist Uyghur kings, who called themselves idiquts, retained their nomadic lifestyle, residing in Qocho during the winter, but moved to the cooler Bishbalik near Urumchi in the summer.
Qocho later became a vassal state of the Kara-Khitans. However, In 1209, the idiqut Barchuq offered Genghis Khan the suzerainty of his kingdom, and went personally to Genghis Khan with a sizeable tribute when demanded in 1211. The Uyghurs thus went into the service of the Mongols, who later formed the Yuan Dynasty in China. The Uyghurs became bureaucrats (semu) of the Mongol Empire and their Uyghur script was modified for Mongolian. As far south as Quanzhou, preponderance of Gaochang Uyghur in Nestorian Christian inscriptions of the Yuan period attests to their importance in the Christian community there.
The Gaochang area was sieged by the Mongols of the Chagatai Khanate (not part of Yuan Dynasty) from 1275 to 1318 by as many as 120,000 troops.
BUDDHISM
Buddhism spread to China from India along the northern branch of the Silk Road predominantly in the 4th and 5th centuries as the Liang rulers were buddhists. The building of Buddhist grottos probably began during this period. There are clusters close to Gaochang, the largest being the Bezeklik grottos.
WIKIPEDIA
This is a book project titled "G.D Technology & Art / A story of innovation narrated by eighteen contemporary artists" that is published by Electa, the major Italian publisher for arts books, to celebrate the 85th year anniversary of an important Italian company, G.D.

Batman is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and debuted in the 27th issue of the comic book Detective Comics on March 30, 1939
Batman was originally introduced as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals, but evolved into a character with a stringent moral code and strong sense of justice. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth.
In the DC Universe continuity, Batman is the alias of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American playboy, philanthropist, and industrialist who resides in Gotham City. Batman's origin story features him swearing vengeance against criminals after witnessing the murder of his parents Thomas and Martha as a child, a vendetta tempered with the ideal of justice.

Dopo i successi estivi a Roma e Milano, il southern rock dei Blackberry Smoke torna in Italia per un unico appuntamento, l’11 marzo al Fabrique di Milano.
I Blackberry Smoke difficilmente riescono a stare con le mani in mano: il nuovo album “Like An Arrow” è uscito da appena tre giorni e la band è già pronta a presentarlo in tutto il mondo con una lunga serie di show, tra i quali la data italiana. Le canzoni di quest’ultimo lavoro dimostrano quanto quest’autentica rock band americana abbia una costante voglia di mettersi alla prova con nuove idee, suoni e territori musicali non ancora esplorati. «Siamo perfettamente in sintonia in merito a ciò che vogliamo esplorare», dichiara il cantante e autore Charlie Starr. «Non potremmo mai incidere sempre lo stesso album, nonostante ci siano fans che apprezzerebbero: sarebbe troppo scontato. Se i Beatles o i Led Zeppelin l’avessero pensata così, oggi non li ameremmo così tanto».
“Like An Arrow” prosegue il percorso iniziato con i due precedenti album, “The Whippoorwill” (2012) e “Holding All The Roses” (2015). Si apre col brano più heavy finora scritto dai Blackberry Smoke ed esplora il British rock prima di fare tappa in luoghi sacri come Macon, Woodstock, Muscle Shoals e Tulsa, con Starr e i suoi compagni impegnati a seguire le orme di pilastri della musica quali JJ Cale, The Allman Brothers Band e molti altri. Questa voglia di sperimentare pervade tutta la carriera del quintetto sin dal suo esordio, nel 2001. L’etica da classe operaia e l’attitudine alla jam session ha portato la band ad avere uno zoccolo duro di fan che continua a crescere concerto dopo concerto, con una media di 250 show all’anno.
I Blackberry Smoke sono Charlie Starr (voce, chitarra), Richard Turner (voce, basso), Brit Turner (batteria), Paul Jackson (voce, chitarra) e Brandon Still (tastiere).
All are attempts for water splash, I could not decide which one is the most fit to be published. So I will let you to decide.

Tre concerti italiani nel tour europeo della Dave Matthews Band; il 3 aprile sono al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano.
L’Italia sarà presente nell’itinerario con ben 3 serate che segneranno un ritorno molto atteso di una band che proprio grazie alle sue performance live ha saputo costruirsi una fan base molto solida anche nel nostro paese.
Nel lodare il loro recente show sold out all’Hollywood Bowl di Los Angeles Variety ha scritto: “Non c’e niente di simile di uno show della DMB… non vedrete mai due loro concerti che si somigliano l’un l’altro”.
Vincitrice di numerosi Grammy Awards, la Dave Matthews Band ha venduto più di 24 milioni di biglietti e più di 38 milioni tra CD e DVD. La lista di hits della band include “What Would You Say”, “Too Much”, “Everyday”, “American Baby”, “Funny The Way It Is” e “Crash Into Me”. Quest’ultima è tornata alla ribalta dopo il suo uso in due scene chiave del film Lady Bird che ha ottenuto 5 nomination agli Oscar 2017.
Con l’uscita nel 2018 di Come Tomorrow la Dave Matthews Band è diventato il primo gruppo nella storia ad avere 7 album consecutivi in grado di debuttare al n.1 della classifica di Billboard 200. Il New York Times nella sua recensione scrive “l’ottimismo riempie le canzoni di Come Tomorrow mentre il cinismo e l’ironia non sono a portata d’orecchio”. Rolling Stone ha scritto “Matthews è silenzioso, contemplativo e insolitamente dolce in canzoni che sono sia lussureggianti (“Here On Out”) che sognanti (“Black and Blue Bird”)".
Dave Matthews – voce solista, chitarra ritmica e acustica
Tim Reynolds – chitarra elettrica
Stefan Lessard – basso
Carter Beauford – batteria, percussioni, voce
Rashawn Ross – tromba, voce

Axell è nato in Senegal, ma a 12 anni si è trasferito a Torino nel quartiere Barriera di Milano. Parla francese e italiano, due lingue che si mischiano nelle sue canzoni e che gli danno un sapore internazionale, transalpino, ma unito alla fame, alla rabbia e a quel rap italiano che inevitabilmente ha assorbito nel quartiere torinese dove è cresciuto. Suona il pianoforte e la tromba, ama il rap, ma ascolta anche musica classica, la sua ultima canzone, Que Pasa, è stata condivisa anche dal calciatore interista Hachraf Hakimi. Le sue peculiarità artistiche hanno attirato l’attenzione di Ghali ed Axell ha firmato per Sto Records e ha pubblicato Que Pasa.

from the London County Council Survey of London, Volume XXII published in 1950:
“The name Cardinal’s Hat (or Cap), for a house on the site of the present No. 49 Bankside, and for the narrow alley which runs down beside it, dates from at least the time of Elizabeth and perhaps earlier. The suggestion that it was named in compliment to Cardinal Beaufort is attractive but untenable, for Beaufort died in 1447, and the original Cardinal’s Hat was not built till many years later.
The site was described in 1470 as “a void piece of ground”. It is possible that it was named after Cardinal Wolsey who was Bishop of Winchester from 1529-30, although no buildings are mentioned in a sale of the site from John Merston, fishmonger, to Thomas Tailloure, fishmonger in 1533. Stowe lists the Cardinal’s Hat as one of the Stewhouses but he may possibly have been mistaken, including it only because it was one of the more prominent inns on Bankside in his day.
It is shown in the Token Book for 1593 as in occupation of John Raven and as one of a group of houses which in the book for 1588 is described as “Mr. Broker’s Rentes”. Hugh Browker, later the owner of the Manor of Paris Garden, was in possession of ground there in 1579 and it seems likely that he was responsible for the formation of Cardinal’s Cap Alley if not for the building of the original house.
Thomas Mansfield was the tenant of the inn when Edward Alleyn dined there with the “vestrye men” of St. Saviour’s parish in December 1617.
A few years later John Taylor, the water poet makes reference to having supper with “the players” at the Cardinal’s Hat on Bankside. Milchisedeck Fritter, brewer, who tenanted the house from 1627 to 1674 issued a halfpenny token. He was assessed for seven hearths in the hearth tax rolls.
The freehold was sold by Thomas Browker to Thomas Hudson in 1667. The later died in 1688 leaving his “messuages on Bankside” to his sister Mary Greene, with reversion to his great nieces Mary and Sarah Bruce. It was at about this date that the older part of the present house was built. During the 18th century it was bought by the Sells family who both owned and occupied it until 1830. in 1841 Edward Sells of Grove Lane, Camberwell, bequeathed his freehold messauge and yard and stables, being No. 49 Bankside, then in the tenure of George Holditch, merchant, to his son, Vincent Sells. The house is now owned by Major Malcolm Munthe. It has previously been occupied by Anna Lee, the actress.”

Hitchcock mosaic panel - ‘The Wrong Man’ - with Hitchcock playing his cameo role in the middle background.
The Wrong Man is a 1956 American docu-drama film noir directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Henry Fonda and Vera Miles. The film was drawn from the true story of an innocent man charged with a crime, as described in the book The True Story of Christopher Emmanuel Balestrero by Maxwell Anderson and in the magazine article "A Case of Identity", which was published in Life magazine in June 1953 by Herbert Brean.
It is one of the few Hitchcock films based on a true story and whose plot closely follows the real-life events.
The Wrong Man had a notable effect on two significant directors: it prompted Jean-Luc Godard's longest piece of written criticism in his years as a critic, and it has been cited as an influence on Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
Alfred Hitchcock appears on screen to tell the audience that the film's "every word is true".
Christopher Emanuel "Manny" Balestrero (Henry Fonda), a down-on-his-luck musician at New York City's Stork Club, needs $300 for dental work for his wife Rose (Vera Miles). When he visits the office of a life insurance company to borrow money against Rose's policy, he is mistaken by the staff there for a man who had twice held them up.
He is questioned by the police, who call him "Chris" rather than Manny, and tell him that they are looking for a man who had robbed the insurance company and other businesses and that he might be their man. Manny is instructed to walk in and out of a liquor store and a delicatessen which had also been robbed by the same man. He is then asked to write the words from a stick-up note used by the robber in the insurance company robbery; he misspells the word "drawer" as "draw" – the same mistake made in the robber's note. After being picked out of a police lineup by an employee of the insurance company who had witnessed the robberies he is arrested on charges of armed robbery.
Attorney Frank O'Connor (Anthony Quayle) sets out to prove that Manny cannot possibly be the right man: at the time of the first hold-up he was on vacation with his family, and at the time of the second his jaw was so swollen that witnesses would certainly have noticed. Of three people who saw Manny at the vacation hotel, two have died and the third cannot be found. All this devastates Rose, whose resulting depression forces her to be hospitalized.
During Manny's trial he prays the rosary after his mother urges him to pray for strength. A juror's remark forces a mistrial. While awaiting a second trial Manny is exonerated when the true robber is arrested holding up a grocery store. Manny visits Rose at the hospital to share the good news, but, as the film ends, she remains severely depressed; a textual epilogue explains that she recovered two years later.
A Hitchcock cameo is typical of most of his films. In The Wrong Man, he appears only in silhouette in a darkened studio, just before the credits at the beginning of the film, announcing that the story is true. Originally, he intended to be seen as a customer walking into the Stork Club, but he edited himself out of the final print.
Many scenes were filmed in Jackson Heights, the neighborhood where Manny lived when he was accused. Most of the prison scenes were filmed among the convicts in a New York City prison in Queens. The courthouse was located at the corner of Catalpa Avenue and 64th Street in Ridgewood.
Bernard Herrmann composed the soundtrack, as he had for all of Hitchcock's films from The Trouble with Harry (1955) to Marnie (1964). It is one of the most subdued scores Herrmann ever wrote, and one of the few he composed with some jazz elements, here primarily to represent Fonda's appearance as a musician in the nightclub scenes.
This was Hitchcock's final film for Warner Bros. It completed a contract commitment that had begun with two films produced for Transatlantic Pictures and released by Warner Brothers: Rope (1948) and Under Capricorn (1949), his first two films in Technicolor. After The Wrong Man, Hitchcock returned to Paramount Pictures.
My photo of Minne the Lake Creature was published in the April '12 issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine after it was found on flickr.
"SHE'S BAAACK!
→ Like those neighbors you haven't seen all winter, Minne the Lake Creature reappears each spring to jazz up our lives. There's no telling where she'll pop up. She likes all the Minneapolis lakes. If you do see her, don't ask if she wintered in Florida (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Minne takes pride in being a hardy Minnesota gal who likes to stay close to home."
Full disclosure: The photo was meant to highlight the return of the floating sculpture to the Chain of Lakes, but the photo was actually taken last fall.
Oor Wullie (English: Our Willie) is a Scottish comic strip published in the D.C. Thomson newspaper The Sunday Post.
It features a character called Wullie Russell .
Wullie is the familiar Scots nickname for boys named William.
His trademarks are spiky hair, dungarees and an upturned bucket, which he uses as a seat - most strips since early 1ii937 begin and end with a single panel of Wullie sitting on his bucket.
The earliest strips, with little dialogue, ended with Wullie complaining ("I nivver get ony fun roond here!").
The artistic style settled down by 1940 and has changed little since. A frequent tagline reads, "Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A'body's Wullie!" (Our Willie! Your Willie! Everybody's Willie!).
Created by Thomson editor R. D. Low and drawn by cartoonist Dudley D. Watkins, the strip first appeared on 8 March 1936.
Watkins continued to draw Oor Wullie until his death in 1969, after which the Post recycled his work into the 1970s.
New strips were eventually commissioned from Tom Lavery, followed by Peter Davidson and Robert Nixon. Ken H. Harrison drew the strip from 1989 until 1997, when Davidson resumed duties.
Between January 2005 and 2006 storylines were written by broadcaster Tom Morton from his home in Shetland, and subsequently they were written by Dave Donaldson, managing director of Thomson's comics division.
The current writer is former Dandy editor Morris Heggie.
The Oor Wullie bucket Trail begins on the 17th June 2019 and is even bigger than the last one 3 years ago.
In 2016 Dundee held a bucket trail with over 50 sculptures all painted with different designs to celebrate 80 years of Oor Wullie.
This was a huge success with the sculptures raising over £800,000 at auction for the local childrens charity.
They have decided to bring it back this year but on a far bigger scale with 150 sculptures and this time you will be able to find them not only in Dundee, but Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness and a few dotted in other towns and cities across the country.
At the end of the summer these will once again be auctioned off and the money will be split between 3 childrens charities.
Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail runs for 11 weeks from 17th June 2019 – 30th August 2019, culminating in a series of Farewell Events and nationwide auctions in each of the five host cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.
Scotland’s first ever national public art trail aims to unite the country as it raises awareness and vital funds for Scotland’s children’s hospital charities.
Funds raised through the trail will support Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity,Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity,and the ARCHIE Foundation, helping children in hospital across the country.
Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail is a Wild in Art event, and would not be possible without the support of DC Thomson Media.
I have taken a keen interest in this event and intend to capture all of the sculptures across the city, posting some of my favourite shots here on Flickr.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 17th of May 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images or have any stories or information to add please comment below.
