The old Gabriel's Electronics place on Stirling Street has hurled a whole lot of junk out into their yard. Some of it would probably be fairly valuable to the right person.
The 1998 built Cory Environmental tug Regain heads under London Bridge with four lighters carrying empty refuse containers.
Cory Environmental started life in 1896. The Company was then called William Cory and Son Ltd and was an amalgamation of eight companies in one of London’s most important industries – the coal trade. The Company’s assets were considerable. They included:
· 13 wharves on the Thames
· two floating derricks
· leased depots in the Victoria, Albert and Tilbury docks
· four tug bunkering stations
· yards and works at Charlton, Erith, Brentford, and Rochester
· 2,500 railway wagons
· 42 coal depots
· 25 stables, which housed the Company's 350 horses
William Cory & Son handled over five million tonnes of coal, coke and patent fuel each year. The goods were transported into London and the south east by barges on the Thames and the Medway, and by wagons on the rail system. In addition, hay was brought into the capital from the surrounding countryside.
It was here that a prime opportunity to utilise barges that had emptied their load in London was identified, giving an early insight into Cory’s future business. Every tug leaving London on the Thames left with a cargo of rubbish from London's streets, for ultimate disposal on the marshlands of Kent and Essex. Cory Environmental is currently the largest lighterage operator on the upper reaches of the Thames but has expanded to provide environmental services across the UK.

St Peter, Claydon, Suffolk
Glass by Albert Moore, 1890s, vandalised 1980s.
Claydon is a large village on the outskirts of Ipswich. Its medieval parish church was declared redundant in 1977. This was a time when a number of churches were made redundant with a speculative view to a sale. It was assumed that planning permission for conversion to a house would be easily obtained. Often, these sales failed to materialise, but the Diocese refused to allow local trusts or charities to take their care on for no financial return.
Claydon was one of these, and the writer Derek Mortlock quotes from the Redundant Churches Fund report for 1987: Within sight of new housing and burgeoning prosperity the diocese left this historic church to rot for eleven years while attempts to find an alternative use came to nothing. It is one of the most conspicuous cases of neglect we have come across.
In the end, bad publicity shamed the Diocese into allowing the church to be vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Today, the church is beautifully cared for by local people, but eleven years of abandonment have taken their toll. Incidentally, it may seem extraordinary that the parish church for a village of 6,000 people should be declared redundant, but there is another medieval church in the hamlet of Barham on the outskirts of Claydon which is larger, with a bigger graveyard, and which was considered at the time less saleable.
St Peter, Claydon, is one of the great forgotten 19th century rebuildings. In style and substance it looks the work of an amateur Pugin, which is pretty much the truth. The vicar for most of the second half of the 19th century was Father George Drury, one of the great High Church eccentrics. So often in Suffolk, we see the fruits of Anglo-catholicism in their early 20th century ascendancy, as at Kettlebaston and Lound. Here at Claydon, we see evidence a movement beseiged, in the struggles of half a century earlier. Drury suffered attacks on his person, property and reputation. The convent he established was broken into by a mob, who 'rescued' a nun and carted her off to a lunatic asylum, where she was incarcerated under the orders of her father. She stayed there until he died. Drury's rectory suffered so many assaults that he was forced to build a nine-foot wall around it, which soon became covered with anti-catholic slogans.
It has to be said that 'Firm Father George' rose to the challenge with enthusiasm. In the 1870s, 50 years before such things became acceptable, his congregation would parade through Claydon with banners of the Blessed Virgin flying, kneeling down with them in a field while singing the Ave Maria. High Mass was accompanied by incense, vestments and candles. The local protestants were scandalised beyond belief; supported by popular opinion and the low church Bishop of Norwich, they hatched plot after plot against him. The most famous of these was the Akenham Burial Case, which led to a change in national burial laws.
The major rebuilding here was by worthy enthusiast R.M. Phipson, the diocesan architect, under Drury's direction, for the Drury family also presented to the living. This was not unusual, of course; many landed families held the patronage of their local church, and often presented a younger son to it. But by the second half of the 19th century, it was becoming less common, as younger sons preferred the opportunities for advancement out in the Empire. It survived only where the family embraced evangelical or Tractarian ideals; for them, the nature of the priesthood had a somewhat higher status. As well as the Drurys of Claydon, a similar situation existed with the Sucklings at Barsham.
Drury's great secular passion was carving. He produced much work here in wood and stone; the pulpit is his, as are many of the little details on roof and walls. The rest, by Phipson's man Henry Ringham, were under Drury's direction.
This work is an extremely early ritualist makeover, dating from the 1850s. Newman had crossed the Tiber barely 5 years before, and the Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus of the reredos must have caused a few racing pulses. The interior is all Drury's, including much of the glass, and the whole thing is an extraordinary memorial to the man.
The interior suffered greatly during the years or abandonment - for example, of the large four evangelist carvings under the crossing, only St Mark survives, and the stained glass is still peppered with holes from stones thrown by the descendants of those who had stoned Drury himself a century before.
Drury was an all-round handyman. He had a brick kiln of his own in the garden, and also built large flint walls in a medieval style around his vegetable garden, using tracery from the ruined church at Thurleston, a mile or so off.
His funeral in 1895 was carefully documented by 'ritualism-watchers', who noted the robed choir, the cross carried in procession, the incense and the sign of the cross. Drury would have been amazed that his position would have been fairly mainstream by the 1930s; less so, perhaps, by its rapid retreat today. His large grave is guarded by railings in the south-east corner of the churchyard, beneath the great yew. For one moment there, one forgets the surrounding suburbia of bungalows and semi-detacheds, the modern High School across the road, the new housing estate. Here, the 19th century still exists.
And then, back down to the village centre. At the bottom of the hill, a group of new houses is called Drury Road. A rather mundane memorial to one of the Church of England's great loose canons.
The dead wood refuses to fall away but the fresh shoots squeeze out through the rigid growth and begin to blossom. Contains excessive subversion, unremarkable nudity and socialists. Great for kids.

Hamburg Germany 21.12.2013
Police refuses Demonstration to move. Hamburg Police has physically stopped a legally approved demonstration, only minutes after start.
More than 7.000 people gathered near the autonomous center Rote Flora in Hamburg/Schanzenviertel, for a demonstration in favour of the Rote Flora Center, rights for the Refugees and against the eviction and break down of the Esso-Häuser.
The demonstration was not allowed to walk and was stopped by water cannons, pepper spray and massive use of truncheons. Police then swept the streets, encircled parts of the demonstrators and blocked any new attempts for a march.
Police so far hasn’t given any official reason for the extensive use of force so far. Many people have been reported injured.
I don't usually collect utility models, but since I collect Tomicas, I decided to get one. It didn't disappoint, even though it has a toy-like quality and purpose, it is still a very realistic and a very neat model of a light garbage truck based-off from the Toyota Dyna. Many has said it's one of the best modern Tomica out there which I mostly agree.
George R. Davis, president of Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 689, is shown sometime in 1974 shortly after his inauguration.
Davis was best known for being president of the union during a 7-day wildcat strike by rank-and-file D.C. Metro workers demanding that cost-of-living payments continue while their labor contract was being arbitrated.
The workers pointed to a clause in their labor agreement that said the expiring contract provisions would remain “undisturbed” during arbitration proceedings.
Davis initially refused to arbitrate the issue and ruled a strike motion out of order before adjourning a union meeting where the issue came up. Members then organized and staged a wildcat strike and refused Davis’s orders to return to work.
A federal judge ordered the disputed money put in escrow and an expedited arbitration of the issue. On August 3, 1978 neutral arbitrator Richard Bloch issued an opinion finding that Metro’s failure to pay was a “substantial disturbance of existing conditions, and therefore a contract violation.”
It was an embarrassment for Davis and a victory for the workers.
During his tenure in office as president from 1974-80, he practiced what is commonly called business unionism where he processed grievances and negotiated and administrated contracts.
He became president during a decade-long national strike wave and during a time when black workers became a majority of the workers at Metro. It was also on the heels of the social turmoil of the 1960s.
Early in his tenure, he called a 1974 strike against Metro, holding that the cost of living clause that paid workers every three months the same percentage increase as the U.S. Labor Department’s consumer price index could not be reduced and was not subject to arbitration.
A federal judge intervened and ordered arbitration of the issue, but instructed the arbitrator to give “great weight” to the union’s position. The COLA clause was retained at that time.
Davis also led a safety check in November 1975 that sidelined 40 percent of the bus service for a day over the issues of excessive discipline and unsafe equipment. The disruption of service resulted in a less harsh disciplinary code.
However he was seen by the rank and file as a timid leader unresponsive to their concerns. When an operator was raped and workers staged a wildcat strike in May 1978, Davis was on the sidelines.
He later attempted to take credit for the measures that were agreed to end the walkout, further angering the members.
During a time of intense political attacks on the union by local elected leaders, Davis rarely responded publicly and failed to capitalize on an opportunity to organize bus operations in the start-up Montgomery County Ride On service in 1977.
He was blamed by the members for the introduction of part-time work, although it was ordered by an arbitrator in 1978.
His administration was criticized for its bookkeeping practices where there were not receipts and vouchers for all expenditures. By his own admission, he rarely made visits to members at worksites.
Davis’s tenure came to an end in an election that was postponed by the court until January 1980.
Charles Boswell, a rank-and-file bus operator with no previous union experience prevailed over Davis by a better than 2-1 margin.
During his six year tenure, he kept the cost-of-living clause in the contract during a period of high inflation, despite relentless attacks from area political leaders.
He also negotiated an agreement with Metro that provided that Local 689 would be the sole bargaining representative for blue collar Metrorail employees and obtained an agreement that disabled workers could fill some of the newly created station attendant (later called manager) jobs.
While he was a dedicated trade unionist, his accomplishments were tarnished by his distance from the membership. He failed to lead direct action against WMATA despite his early success using the strike and a safety check to obtain results.
He didn’t understand or engage in political activity, which cost the local dearly in the coming years and he did not undertake an opportunity to organize the Ride On system that would grow to 500 buses and 1,500 workers and set an example for other suburban jurisdictions and the District of Columbia to set up their own bus systems.
He retired bitter and feeling betrayed by those who served with him, but it was his own poor decision-making that was his undoing.
