Maywood. I'd always wondered why pallets were such big business. It turns out they evolved with the fork lift. Makes sense.
I found a great article, including discussions of pallet wars, here. www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/52/hodes.php
The 83 permanent inhabitants of Bryher on the Isles of Scilly may not have the convenience the big self-service supermarket chains as we do on the mainland but they still have the convenience of being able to buy locally grown vegetables and freshly caught crabs and lobsters!

Somethings are just comforting, like an old service station. This one is still doing just fine on Main Street in Carthage, Tennessee. It's always nice to be nostalgically transported back in time unexpectedly

By 2000 the 321's had been operating the Great Eastern main line for 10 years and they had been taken over by First Great Eastern.
Nothing much changed and the 321 still plied their trade between London and the East Anglian towns, holiday resorts and ports.
321366 leaves Ingatestone with an Ipswich to London service on 10th June 2000
Cold Sunday morning walk into East Vancouver BC started at Thornton Park.
The history of Thornton Park parallels the development of Canadian National Railway service to Vancouver.
PRIOR TO 1917
Canadian Northern Railway, later to be Canadian National (CNR) passenger rail service came to Vancouver in 1912. Prior to 1917 construction start of the station, the station location was the CNR dock where passenger steam ships from Alaska, Queen Charlottes and Northern BC arrived and departed.
False Creek west of Clark Drive was being filled in for use as railway yards.
Main Street, then called Westminster Avenue, had a bridge connecting the north and south shores of False Creek.
1917 to 1919
The CNR station was being constructed and False Creek continued to be reclaimed.
In 1918, the last of 3 bridges that spanned the creek on Westminster Avenue was removed when the creek at this point was filled in.
AFTER 1919
The Globe Hotel was still on a site near the north end of the park on Main Street. The hotel closed in 1921 was demolished and the site incorporated into the park.
By the early 20’s Union Station was built just to the north of the CNR. The name was eventually changed to Great Northern.
In March 1923 the park site began to take shape. Sir Henry Thornton, President & General Manager of CNR had a special track extended to Chilliwack to bring in topsoil for the park.
Great Northern set up an arrangement with Vancouver Park Board to maintain the park for $800 per year. This continued until the 1970’s when the Park Board assumed sole responsibility for the park.
The park was named after Sir Henry Thornton, President and General Manger of CNR from 1922 to 1932.
A commemorative plaque from CNR employees was placed in the CNR Station in Dec 1937. Identical plaques were unveiled in 15 other locations across Canada at the same time. The event was broadcast nationally on CBC radio.
Thornton was removed from his duties at CNR in 1932 and died March 14 1932.
Union Station was demolished in 1965.
Originally the park had a road connecting Main and Station Streets between the two stations.
Until the mid 50’s Terminal Avenue ended at Main Street. False Creek continued to be reclaimed.
In 2003 the park was completely refurbished to its original, classic design. The terminal is still here, now named Pacific Central Station.
Today the stain is home the Via Rail & Amtrak railway service plus Greyhound Canada and Pacific Coach Lines bus service.

Hello, Ted
I am the editor at the Pharos-Tribune in Logansport, Indiana. We are doing a feature story on Sir Henry Worth Thornton, who was born in Logansport and for whom Thornton Park in Vancouver is named. I wanted to see it we could use your exceptional photo with our story and, if so, how you would like to be credited.

Gunnedah Station was deserted when I visited last night, but clearly well maintained.

It's October 7th 1990 and Selkent Travel RM2046 (ALM 46B) is working a free buss service running between the Castle Point Bus Museum and a car park in Canvey Island where a bus rally was being held.
Still in business today, Balfour Beatty has been a major player in the UK construction and civil engineering markets. Founded in 1909, its initial operations focused on tramways, with a notable presence in the East Midlands. That activity led Balfour Beatty to diversify into power generation and general contracting, playing a key role in the development of Britain’s National Grid. During the same 1930s period, Balfour Beatty replaced the trams with buses at its subsidiary companies.
Just three bus companies remained on Balfour Beatty’s books when it decided to exit the market at the end of the 1940s. Thus, Midland General, Notts & Derby and Mansfield District were sold to the state-controlled British Transport Commission. Previously major buyers of AEC and Leyland buses, the ex-Balfour Beatty bus fleets then took a steady influx of standard Bristol/Eastern Coachworks vehicles. However, the old liveries were retained, together with other details (eg destination layouts) that differentiated the fleets from the general BTC run of the mill.
This view at Newark Bus Station proved to be the sole occasion I photographed buses of the former Balfour Beatty bus fleets: all three companies lost their identities soon afterwards under National Bus Company management. On the left is Mansfield & District 545 (24MNN), a Bristol FLF6G Lodekka new in 1963. Its companion is 104 ( JNU993D), a 1966 dual-purpose Bristol MW6G that was registered by Midland General Omnibus but seen here in service with Mansfield District.

I heard the city and Athens got into a dispute and in return, Athens shut down both yards they had there and turned this one into a bin refurbishment shop in retaliation. Apparently the bins that come here are real nasty so residents get upset with the smell.
