these two christmas ornaments ("the end of an era" and "our first christmas apart") were the only mentions i saw of the bell system breakup! maybe some bad feelings linger among the retired employees.
Waiting in the car on a very dull day for something to land on the iconic Coal Barn roof @ Thornham harbour. I was intrigue'd by the tie-bar holding the old barn together, Not a regular architectural feature. It seem's to be an old cutting wheel, possibly from some old farming implement. There is a name & number on the inner groove that I cannot read. An identical one is on the other side of the barn. Without the tie-bar I think it would fall down right now. In fact looking @ the salt marsh side of the barn the chalk & bricks are well weathered with lots of quite large holes! Another tidal surge like 2013 or big gale will probably demolish this iconic barn that is such a feature everyone takes photos of it

I decided to continue the story from yesterday. Even though I'm jumping around in the Iron Photographer timeline (from IP 282 - released a few days ago - back to IP 22 that was released over twelve years ago) it's okay. You can still follow along. My timeline is sequential.
The Emerald Ash Borer is super destructive, and kills countless trees, but it leaves cool patterns behind in its wake.
When live gives you tree-killing bugs, make tree-killing bugs lemonade?

Sir Thomas Bouch - Civil Engineer - The Bridge of Tay Disaster.
On the evening of Sunday 28 December 1879, a violent storm was blowing virtually at right angles to the bridge. Witnesses said the storm was as bad as any they had seen in the 20–30 years they had lived in the area; one called it a ‘hurricane’, as bad as a typhoon he had seen in the China Sea. The wind speed was measured at Glasgow – 71 mph – and Aberdeen, but not at Dundee. Higher windspeeds were recorded over shorter intervals, but at the inquiry an expert witness warned of their unreliability, and declined to estimate conditions at Dundee from readings taken elsewhere. One modern interpretation of available information suggests winds were gusting to 80 mph.
Usage of the bridge was restricted to one train at a time by a signalling block system using a baton as a token. At 7:13 p.m. a train from the south slowed to pick up the baton from the signal cabin at the south end of the bridge, then headed out onto the bridge, picking up speed. The signalman turned away to log this and then tended the cabin fire, but a friend present in the cabin watched the train: when it got about 200 yards from the cabin he saw sparks flying from the wheels on the east side, this continued for no more than three minutes, by then the train was in the high girders; then “there was a sudden bright flash of light, and in an instant there was total darkness, the tail lamps of the train, the sparks and the flash of light all … disappearing at the same instant.” The signalman saw none of this and did not believe when told about it. When the train failed to appear on the line off the bridge into Dundee he tried to talk to the signal cabin at the north end of the bridge, but found that all communication with it had been lost.
Not only was the train in the river, but so were the high girders, and much of the ironwork of their supporting piers.
Divers exploring the wreckage later found the train still within the girders, with the engine in the fifth span of the southern 5-span division.
There were no survivors; only 46 bodies were recovered but there were 59 known victims. Fifty-six tickets for Dundee had been collected from passengers on the train before crossing the bridge; allowing for season ticket holders, tickets for other destinations, and for railway employees, 74 or 75 people were believed to have been on the train.
Construction began in 1871 of a bridge to be supported by brick piers resting on bedrock. Trial borings had shown the bedrock to lie at no great depth under the river. At either end of the bridge, the bridge girders were deck trusses, the tops of which were level with the pier tops, with the single track railway running on top. However, in the centre section of the bridge the bridge girders ran as through trusses above the pier tops in order to give the required clearance to allow passage of sailing ships to Perth.
The bedrock actually lay much deeper than the trial borings had shown, and Bouch had to redesign the bridge, with fewer piers and correspondingly longer span girders. The pier foundations were now constructed by sinking brick-lined wrought-iron caissons onto the riverbed, and filling these with concrete. To reduce the weight these had to support, Bouch used open-lattice iron skeleton piers: each pier had multiple cast-iron columns taking the weight of the bridging girders. Wrought iron horizontal braces and diagonal tiebars linked the columns in each pier to provide rigidity and stability. The basic concept was well known, but for the Tay Bridge, the pier dimensions were constrained by the caisson. For the higher portion of the bridge, there were 13 girder spans. In order to accommodate thermal expansion, at only 3 of their 14 piers was there a fixed connection from the pier to the girders. There were therefore 3 divisions of linked high girder spans, the spans in each division being structurally connected to each other, but not to neighbouring spans in other divisions. The southern and central divisions were nearly level, but the northern division descended towards Dundee at gradients of up to 1 in 73.
Thelwall is a suburban village in Warrington, North Cheshire, England, close to the Lymm junction of the M6. It is a popular belief that Thelwall is the 'smallest city in England'.
A fortified village was established at Thelwall in 923 during the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo Saxon Chronicle:
"Kynge Edwarde made a cite at Thelewall in [th]e northe parte of [th]e Marches, nye the water of Mersee, where he put certeyne knyghtes."--Higden's Polychronicon.
"A.D. 923. This year went King Edward with an army, late in the harvest, to Thelwall; and ordered the borough to be repaired, and inhabited, and manned. And he ordered another army also from the population of Mercia, the while he sat there to go to Manchester in Northumbria, to repair and to man it. This year died Archbishop Plegmund; and King Reynold won York."--Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
An inscription on the Pickering Arms records that "In the year 920 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and called it Thelwall". According to Sir Peter Leycester it was "so called from the stakes and stumps, cut from the trees, wherewith it was environed about as a wall". It is more likely that the original meaning of Thelwall was "pool by a plank bridge" (the earliest record of the name is in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 923 as "Thelwæl", in 1241 it occurs as "Thelewell").
Earthworks remain of an embankment, possibly part of these fortifications, found in the grounds of Chaigeley School. These remains are a designated English Heritage National Monument.
At Thelwall derive many stories of ghosts, since many of the old buildings still remain in the area: sightings are relayed from the local pub, "The Little Manor". However, there are stories of witches at the well of the "Old White House" too, on the outskirts of Thelwall.

The existing stone bridge over the River Elwy, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, was built about 1770 to the design of Joseph Turner of Hawarden. There are five arches spanning a total of 65 metres ( 215 feet). The arch voussoirs, string courses and parapet copings are of dressed sandstone and the remainder is of limestone. The tiebar plates, which can be seen on the downstream face, have an unusual Fleur de Lys pattern.
Dad and Mom "in the pink" after both have dealt with different types of cancer and surviving. You can't see Dad's Superman logo on his tiebar, but that's what it is. He didn't really care for a pink tie, but he's gotten several appreciative comments about it so I think he likes it now. Mom has her pink sweater on and insisted that she be on that side of him, since she's his "right arm". Muchas Smoochas to them both!
UPDATE:
Since the photo was made, mom has undergone a mastectomy because the Dr. said one of the tests she had done came back positive. She told them to get rid of the problem and he did. Scar has healed and she's "in the pink"!
2021 UPDATE:
Dad has been having lots of hip pain since the fall of 2020 and after several tests and scans they've determined that his prostate cancer has returned. The scans revealed masses of cancer cells on his pelvis and his lower back area. He's taking meds and treatments in an effort to kill those cancer cells. Prayers would be very much appreciated.
2022 UPDATE:
Results from the latest CT scan show the cancer has spread to dad's bones, lungs, liver, everything, and that the hormone infusion treatments he underwent didn't do a thing to check the progress of it. The Superman I grew up with got exposed to kryptonite/cancer and it is going to take him from us and there's nothing we can do to stop it from happening.
Turnout blade No.2 tiebar(gauging) being drilled for riveting after the opposite side claw was riveted on.
No.1 head tiebar was done previously.
It would have been expeditious to have done one claw first then adjusted to gauge and tack welded in place to ensure accurate drilling, after riveting then the welds could have been removed.
I love learning new ways to do things, then think of a better way to do the next; not exactly a useful trait when making only one-off items.

The two Orangemen are fixing "bases" for masts.
This has involved drilling holes right through the structure to accommodate tiebars to hold the bases in place.
Two pairs are being built, which involves a lot of hard, skilled labour at height, as seen here. The work is proceeding with trains running normally overhead.
Both westerly bases can just be seen here.
