This B registered Vauxhall Chevette was one of the last. It was registered on 1 August 1984 - the annual day of the new registration!
Some garages even stayed open until after midnight on this day so that new owners could pick up their car and be the first in their street with the new reg.
Chevette production ceased in 1984. It was replaced by the Vauxhall Nova and Astra.
I always thought the Chevette was a funny looking car, especially with that grill-less front end.
Seems very odd to think this example is 31 years old... and has only covered 11,625 miles (at its last MOT). In 2011 its recorded MOT mileage was only 4,099 miles. I was a bit gob smacked when I looked it up!
That's an average of 365 miles per year.
However, yesterday (19 Dec 2015) it failed its MOT on those points:
1. nearside Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded outer sill (2.4.A.3)
2. nearside Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded inner wing (2.4.A.3)
A change in the rates of postage, effective on July 1, 1931, to 3 cents for the 1st ounce or fraction of an ounce, on letters for Canada, the British Empire, the United States, and certain other countries - 13 cents covered both postage and registration on letters weighing not more than 1 ounce.
From April 1, 1943 - a 1 cent War Tax was added to the first weight step preferred letter rate. The preferred letter rate was 4 cents for the first ounce and 2 cents for each additional ounce. 4 cents letter rate + 10 cents registration fee = 14 cents
RED PASS, B.C. to New Westminster, B.C / - 8 / 11 March 1939
3 cents forward letter + 10 cents registration fee = 13 cents.

RED PASS became a hamlet with a general store, school, post office and railway station. The hotel was built in 1924 and later a police barrack was added. Residents of Red Pass would travel east and west on the train. The "road" was unimproved and hazardous until 1962 when the highway was upgraded and the need for Red Pass diminished. Trains could now travel longer distances and did not need the stop in Red Pass for servicing. After 1965, railroaders found new jobs and the police were transferred out. The hotel had burned down in 1949, the post office & general store closed in 1976 and in 1991 the little town ceased to exist.
RED PASS - The railway junction at Mile 27 at the west end of Moose Lake was originally called Resplendent, a name also deriving from the color of the rocks. East of Red Pass, the tracks of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, descending to the Fraser River on route to Prince George in 1912, were kept as low as possible. The tracks of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, heading for the Albreda Pass, were kept high. After the consolidation of the railways in 1923 as the Canadian National Railway, Lucerne disappeared as a railway divisional point and Resplendent blossomed as Red Pass Junction, the point where the removal of the separate tracks stopped and where the two lines diverged. During the 1930s, there was a hobo jungle at Red Pass where the vagabonds waited for trains. About 50 people lived at Red Pass in the 1940s. During World War II it was the site of a Japanese internment camp. The Red Pass hotel burned down in 1949. After the highway opened in 1962, the need for Red Pass diminished. CN still uses some buildings at Red Pass. The headquarters of Mount Robson Park were moved from Red Pass to Valemount in 1987. LINK to the complete article - www.spiralroad.com/red-pass-station/
The RED PASS Post Office was established - 1 November 1921 and closed - 29 January 1976, when it was moved to Valemount.

Earl Woodley left Entrance, Alberta in 1920 and opened a hotel and general store in Red Pass, British Columbia. He became Postmaster at Red Pass and served from - 31 May 1923 to - 10 June 1946 - the Post Office was located in his General Store.
EARL FRANCIS WOODLEY - Resident of Mt. Lehman, B.C. since 1950, Earl Francis Woodley, died in MSA General Hospital on March 13, 1979 at the age of 85. Born in Ontario, Mr. Woodley came to British Columbia in 1914 and was employed by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern Railways during the early part of the century. He also worked in a fur trading post in the north and operated his own general store on the Yellowhead Highway and also in Mt. Lehman prior to his retirement. He was a member of the Jasper Masonic Lodge.

Another relic from the 1917 store. This register still works! (though we found one has to know just the right sequence of buttons to press)
Albeit much later in the day than I had anticipated (following a ten hour drive back to Mississippi from Ohio!), here we begin the final day of the 2016 Horn Lake Target Sunday Summer Spectacular with a look at the checkouts toward the store entrance/exit. This store rarely if ever uses the majority of the registers at once, and the higher-numbered ones at all.

1992 Mercedes 300E-24.
Registered in March 2004.
Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"V5 Present
MoT Mar 2023
Chassis number: WDB1240312B439078
"This 1992 Nautical Blue Metallic Mercedes‑Benz 300E W124 was registered on the 21st February 1992 and supplied new to a titled female owner in Jersey, for her to be chauffeur‑driven in. During her ownership, the car was maintained by Mercedes‑Benz, with stamps for maintenance in the service book.
"In March 2004, at around 22,000 miles, the 300E was bought by the groundskeeper's father, who took the car to Scotland, where he lived. There, it was apparently always garaged and only ever used in good weather ‑ and thus did quite a low mileage, Scotland not always best‑known for being warm and dry. In 2011, it changed hands again at 26,000 miles, and continued to be garage‑kept. It gained another new owner in August 2014 at circa 37,000 miles, with an owner who mainly used it at weekends and in his free time. The current mileage recorded by the odometer is 45,248 miles, which can be warranted by the paperwork. UK registered in 2004.
"The car's MoT is valid until March 2023, and it has recently been serviced, with new discs and pads all around plus a set of rear tyres fitted in November 2020. Five former registered keepers are now recorded by the V5C.
"The paperwork folder includes the V5C, the data card with list of fitted options, and a stack of invoices from 2019 back to 2011. There's also a Mercedes-Benz 200/300 brochure and the car's original book wallet, with owner's manual, dealer guide and Blaupunkt Boston RCC 45 radio/cassette player instructions. The service booklet is stamped up to 44,179 miles in August 2020. There are MoT certificates dating from 2022 back to 2004. A spare set of keys come with the car.
"The 300 E is in very good condition with a particularly well-preserved and tidy interior, featuring blue-checked cloth seats."
Sold for £8424 (including premium) on an estimate of £8000 to £10,000.
Tub sarcophagus decorated with pastoral scenes arranged on two registers.
In the upper register a man dressing a tunic with sleeves tied at his waist by a belt, boots and carrying a saddlebag, sits on an overturned basket in front of a building. He prunes a branch with his billhook. A dog helps the man to watch over the animals (horses, oxen, sheep and goats) that graze in an area surrounded by trees.
In the lower register a second man sitting on an overturned basket under a reed shelter and milking a goat. This man wears a tunic tied to his waist by a belt, and boots; his calves are wrapped in bandages, «fasciae». At the opposite side of this register there is another character dressed in the same way as the one depicted in the upper band, but, unlike the other two shepherds, he is beardless. Leaning on a pastoral staff, "pedum", he sits on a rock. A flock of sheep is carved in the central part of the lower band.
On the sides of the tub two lions biting deer or goats. The figures carved on the sides contrast with the peaceful pastoral scenes carved on the tub main body.
The sarcophagus lid features a frieze of Erotes driving chariots pulled by lions or deer. In the center there is a table with a dedicatory inscription reading:
D(is) M(anibus), / lullo Achilleo, / v(iro)
p(erfectissimo), ex prox(imo) mem(oriae), /
((ducenario)) Ludii Magni, qui / vixit annis XLVII, /
m(ensibus) X, AureIia Maxi/mina co(n)iux eius, /
marito dulclssimo.
According to the inscription, the sarcophagus was commissioned by Aurelia Maximina for her husband Iulius Achilleus, belonging to the equestrian order, who died at the age of 47 years and 10 months.
Achilleus had been conferred the title of «vir perfectissimus». He had an important career that began in a subordinate position as a person in charge of an office in the imperial chancellery, «proximus a memoriae», and ended as superintendent, «procurator», of the gladiatorial barracks of Rome, «Ludus Magnus»
The relief, at the time of its discovery, showed conspicuous traces of polychromy today only partially visible.

The Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, is an architecturally and historically significant building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Capitol is at the intersection of Apalachee Parkway and South Monroe Street in downtown Tallahassee, Florida.
The Historic Capitol, sometimes called "The Old Capitol," built in 1845, was threatened with demolition in the late 1970s when the new capitol building was built. Having been restored to its 1902-version in 1982, the Historic Capitol is directly behind the new Capitol building. Its restored space includes the Governor's Suite, Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers, rotunda, and halls. Its adapted space contains a museum exhibiting the state's political history, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, which is managed by the Florida Legislature. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Historic Capitol Building (Restoration) on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.
The New Tower houses executive and legislative offices and the chambers of the Florida Legislature (consisting of the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives).
The buildings are universally, though informally, known as the Old Capitol and the New Capitol; the former is sometimes called the Historic Capitol, or also, confusingly, the Florida State Capitol. The latter was its official name prior to the construction of the New Capitol in 1977 and was so called by the National Park Service even after the New Capitol was operating. Its legal name today, however, is the Florida Historic Capitol Museum. The New Capitol, as a whole, does not have a legal name. When it was planned, the Capitol Complex (which is a legal name) was going to consist of the House and Senate chambers, and the twenty-two-story office building.

I thought for a moment it was a Transam, but nope ... a Chevvy Corvette! X-reg too, so not a modern one, unless it's a specialised plate.
Not travelling fast ... well there's a 30mph speed limit on our road .. but rumbling beautifully!
After a lovely landscape yesterday, here's something from the opposite end of the spectrum. The Wabco Haulpak, above, was an off-road haul truck designed to carry large volumes of overburden or ore in open-pit mines.
The example seen above can be found at a viewing point overlooking the Hull-Rust-Mahoning open-pit iron mine, a very small part of which can be seen in the background. I have been unable to find any details about the model of truck or its load-carrying capacity, but it was clearly considerable! Since 1999 Wabco has become Komatsu.
Behind the truck is a scoop from a dragline excavator, which lifted the material out of the ground and into the back of the truck. Again I have no details for the scoop's capacity.
The Hull-Rust-Mahoning Open Pit Iron Mine is the largest operating open-pit iron mine in Minnesota. It stretches more than 5 km long, 3 km wide, and 163m deep. It was established in 1895 and was one of the world's first open-pit mines.
The mine, located in the Mesabi Range, supplied as much as 25% of all the iron ore mined in the United States during its peak production from World War I through World War II. This prodigious output helped made Minnesota the nation's largest iron ore producer and the US the world's largest steel manufacturer.
The mine became a National Historic Landmark in 1966 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It still produces 8.2 million tons of taconite pellets a year. Apparently the view point is being/has been moved in 2019 to allow an expansion of mining operations. Hopefully the new location will give some details of the exhibits!
The other tourists give a nice sense of scale, especially the guy patting the rear tyre! Scanned from a negative.
WEEK 29 – TRUBeContinued (I)
Turning the other direction, here's a shot into the walled-off register area. The Geoffrey "hi, let's play" sign is also somewhat visible here, albeit at a rather severe angle.
These registers were not in use at all, or at least that's what I thought, seeing as how there were no employees stationed at them. (Most were hanging out at the customer service desk, behind me and to my right from this point of view.) But you'll see that as I was leaving, someone did indeed get checked out at a regular checklane.

WEEK 51 – Cordova Super Target Final Day, Set V
We’re just about ready to wrap up our final interior walkthrough of this store (sniff, sniff :( )… and as part of that, of course, we mustn’t forget to take one last look down the preposterously, almost comically large Register Row. These Super Targets were built with so many dang checkouts it’s almost nonsensical; exaggerating matters even more are the oversized lane lights, identical in design but otherwise much, much bigger than what you'd find in a typical Target store of that era.
Shown here are only 14 of the checkouts, but this store actually had as many as 24 at one point in time. More recently (possibly circa 2016/2017 or so), the last two lanes were actually removed and replaced with a bank of four self-checkouts (raising this store’s total to an absurd 26 registers!), a move which I would normally have interpreted to be a sign of this store’s good health. For example, the Horn Lake store has yet to get any self-checkouts… not that I mind, as I do actually enjoy going through physical checkouts at that location since most of the checkers are friendly, but I do know the store is low-volume (and while adding some would be a good sign, I do hope the lack of self-checkouts is not in and of itself a bad sign!).
Unfortunately though, here in Cordova, it seems that my interpretation was not in fact reality, since this store wound up closing anyway :( I don’t have a direct shot of the self-checkouts, but you can see their lane lights poking out in a few pics I’ve posted throughout this album, such as these four.

Grenfell. The roaming of the local Aboriginal people became curtailed from 1833 when the first white pastoralist moved into the Grenfell district. He was John Wood squatting beyond the legal areas. It was one of Wood’s shepherds who discovered gold in 1866. He was named Cornelius O’Brien and he registered the find in Young and took out a miners lease. O’Brien went on to sell his lease in 1872 for £32,000 and his mine yielded £370,000 worth of gold over the first five years. Diggers rushed to the area in 1866, many from Lambing Flat fields (Young), when news was released and a settlement named Emu Creek sprang up overnight. On 1st January 1867 the goldfields were renamed Grenfell in honour of John Grenfell the Gold Commissioner of nearby Forbes who was killed by bushrangers in a hold up on 6th December 1866. Before then the Weddin Post Office opened at Emu Creek on 3rd December 1866 and it was changed to Grenfell PO on December 24th. The Weddin Ranges lie just to the west of Grenfell and the shire council is still the Weddin Shire. Thus the first part of Grenfell developed along the curves of Emu Creek as the fields soon had around 20,000 diggers. Buildings - hotels, dance hall and theatres, mainly canvas or wooden in the early years, crowded along the narrow George Street which was the original heart of the town. There were soon 33 licensed hotels in Grenfell. But several major fires destroyed many of the cramped buildings. Today George Street is just a narrow backstreet and the Main Street is the area of commerce, but still with a dogleg curve. The goldfield at Grenfell was a rich one but it provided its bounty for only a short time. Between 1867 and 1869 Grenfell produced over 40,000 ounces (1,100 kilograms) of gold worth over three million pounds. A few buildings of note remain in George Street despite their faded appearance and they include the Oddfellows Hall. The first one was built in 1873 and was replaced with the current building in 1888. Next to it is the old printer’s works. The Mining Record was published from 1866 (marked on the building) but became the Grenfell Record in 1875 when the new owner moved the premises to the Main Street next to the Exchange Hotel.
Among the early gold miners to rush the fields was a Norwegian digger Niels Larsen. On 17th June 1867 Larsen’s wife gave birth in their tent to a baby who they named Henry changing their surname to Lawson at the same time. WE do not know but Lawson built a slab hut so Henry could have been born in that. His mother Louisa made meals and sold them to the diggers for income. Niels Lawson soon moved his family to Mudgee and that is where Henry Lawson spent most of his childhood. For some years young Henry travelled the country out west doing sheep farming work with his father which gave him later inspiration for his outback stories. In 1883 Henry Lawson went to live in Sydney with his mother. Louisa established a suffragette paper for women called Dawn. She had her own printing press and Henry Lawson’s first short stories and prose were printed by his mother. His mother, with Peter Bell, printed the radical journal called the Republican. By this time she had separated from Henry’s father. Henry accepted a newspaper job in Brisbane in 1891. His first story in the Bulletin was published in 1888. By the mid-1890s Henry had taken up drinking. Despite travel and writing and several bouts of depression he persisted with life. After his wife Bertha separated from him in 1920 he took up drinking again and attempted suicide after which he entered a deep depression and downhill slide psychologically. He died alone in 1922. Although Henry Lawson did not spent much of his life in Grenfell the site where the slab hut was built the site was recorded and dedicated in 1924 with Lawson’s wife and daughter attending the ceremony after Henry Lawson’s death. A tree was planted at the site at that time. Grenfell was early in its recognition of Lawson’s contribution to Australian literature and folklore. The town also established the Henry Lawson Festival, which is still held annually, in 1957 when few towns were thinking about attracting tourists to their regions or honouring their prominent citizens. The festival covers music, singing, poetry photography, writing, theatre etc. Lawson is commemorated on our ten dollar note.
Another literary figure with connections to Grenfell was Anthony Trollope, the famous English novelist and social critic and commentator. Trollope is best known for his series of novels called the Chronicles of Barsetshire (Barchester Towers) and 47 novels in all and several travel books. His social commentaries covered Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and North America. Trollope visited Grenfell twice in 1871 to visit his son Frederick who worked on a sheep station near Grenfell. He then travelled parts of QLD and NSW before visiting New Zealand. In total he spent 13 months in Australia and from it he wrote several books on Australia which were serialised in Australian newspapers. Fred Trollope’s ancestors still live in Australia and they have inherited the baronetcy of Casewick Hall from Anthony Trollope and it is currently held by Sir Anthony Trollope a school teacher in Sydney. Trollope accused Melbournians of being loud mouth braggarts but in Adelaide he stayed with Sir Thomas Elder at Birksgate and was dined at the Adelaide Club. Trollope’s acclaimed quotation on Adelaide was: “No city in Australia gives one more fixedly the idea that Australian colonization has been a success, than does the city of Adelaide”. His humour and irony were also evident in his quotes: “The number of sheep at these stations will generally indicate with fair accuracy the mode of life at the head station. A hundred thousand sheep and upwards require a professed man-cook and a butler to look after them; forty thousand sheep cannot be shorn without a piano; twenty thousand is the lowest number that renders napkins at dinner imperative.” And “Australian mosquitoes, of which I had heard much and which I feared greatly, were never so venomous to me as mosquitoes have been in other countries.” Or “The subject of heat is one of extreme delicacy… One does not allude to the heat in a host's house any more than to a bad bottle of wine or an ill-cooked joint of meat… You may call an inn hot, or a court-house, but not a gentleman's paddock or a lady's drawing-room.”
Although not a grand town Grenfell has charm and history. Big changes came to the town when wheat was first grown in the surrounding countryside from 1871 onwards but transport costs were a problem. A spur railway lime from Cowra reached Grenfell in 1901 and agriculture expanded. A flourmill was erected in the 1880s but when it burnt within a few years. It was replaced with the Challenge flourmill in 1901. That mill still stands although not in use. It produced flour only for our troops during the World War Two and it finally closed in the 1960s. The heritage buildings of Grenfell include the Courthouse (1879), the School of Arts (1890) and Wesleyan Church (1888) in Camp Street and the Anglican Church (1877) and Presbyterian Church (1870) in Middle Street etc.

[There are 9 images in this set] Briery Presbyterian Church in Prince Edward County, Virginia, is just over the Charlotte County boundary line. It is a beautiful Carpenter Gothic church, built about 1855, designed by Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898). Dabney was a professor of theology at Union Theological Seminary (at that time part of Hampden-Sydney College) and the author of a biography of Stonewall Jackson, noted Confederate general in the Civil War. Dabney designed three other churches—College Church at Hampden-Sydney, Farmville Presbyterian Church and Tinkling Spring Church in Augusta County, Virginia, all in Greek Revival style rather than the Gothic Revival style of Briery. He also designed his home in Hampden-Sydney; “Westmerton” is an Italianate house dating from 1856, from the same time period as Briery Church.

Briery Church is a one-story frame board-and-batten structure with a very noticeable steep gable roof, emphasizing the verticality of lines. Built on a T-shaped plan, the front of the building has three cross gables, which create an impression of great length. The eaves are wide with simple bracketing. Each of the gables is topped with a turned finial. There are four entrances, two on the front (entrances for men and for women) and one at each side. There is no rear entrance. Each entrance is covered with a small canopy porch with barge boarding of simple curved strips of wood. Windows are 1/1 sash except for the fixed central window on the front façade; they have diamond panes. The foundation is masonry, probably brick covered with stucco. The deep swoop of the gables provides a dramatic look to this structure. I’ve not been inside but have been told it has a beautiful interior with pine ceiling. The first church on the site was about 1750 and replaced in 1824; this church replaced the latter building. Briery Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places November 29, 1969 with ID#69000371.

Register Cliff is one of three prominent emigrant recording areas in Wyoming. Register Cliff is a navigational landmark prominently listed in the 19th century guidebooks about the Oregon Trail. It was one of the key checkpoint landmarks for families heading west along the Platte River. It verified they were on the correct path heading toward South Pass and not moving into impassable mountain terrains. Much vandelism has occured here.
