The Standard Fireworks site at Crosland Hill has been sold to Housing Developers, with approximately 700 houses to be built there.
Last year I decided to record what was left of the buildings on the site. All of my pictures were shot from outside of the site itself, so walls, fences, trees and shrubs get in the way.
I worked there over thirty years ago, so will try to give context to the pictures from my fading memory.
The green corrugated buildings called Magazines were used to store either finished boxes of fireworks or individual fireworks waiting to be packed in various sizes of Firework Boxes for sale.
Corrugated on the outside and lined with wood paneling on the interia.

Around the perimeter of parts of Brisbane's Botanic Gardens, planted every couple of metres, are the most wonderful displays of pink standard roses. Indeed, a very nice welcome for one arriving to do a spell of photography.
Well done to the gardeners that make this such a wonderful and peaceful place to visit.
Thanks everyone for the comments, awards and faves. They mean a lot to me.

1955 Standard 10 948cc, XFC 544, at the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza on 2 August 2025.
A style of insulator known as a "Beehive" insulator that were the standard insulator used for telegraph distribution commonly used along U.S. and Canadian railroads. CD 145 beehive insulators were produced by many different glass companies from the mid 1880's to around the 1930's time period.
The Great North Western Telegraph Company (G.N.W.TEL.CO.) was organized in 1881 when it leased the lines of the old Montreal Telegraph Company and the Dominion Telegraph Company, and merged them into the one system. The GNW grew very fast with lines extending all throughout eastern Canada and eventually all the way to western Canada. Facing bankruptcy, the GNW in 1915 was acquired by the Canadian Northern Railway's Telegraph Company, which would eventually become the Canadian National Telegraph Company in 1921, when the whole system became nationalized.
G.N.W. TEL CO. beehive insulators were found (used) all throughout Canada. Unknown at the time who actually produced the GNW insulators, but a few Canadian glass companies would of been the manufacturers of these insulators.
I personally found about a dozen of these GNW insulators in the colors of aqua and steel blue along the old Great Western Railway just east of St. Thomas, Ontario, October 4, 2001.

I felt like taking a 'standard' shot of Drax 60066 south of Willington (South Derbyshire) on 26/01/19, instead of trying anything different, as there was the promise of sun. This turned out to be just a promise however, as it was still dull when the 6M57 0717 Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sdgs tanks powered through.
