(This is the third of a weekly series of flashback photos. I apologise in advance for the inevitable poor quality. This one is scanned from a rather faded 35mm slide).
I was attracted to post this not-so-old Cheshire photo (only 27 years old!) by the telephone number "Church Minshull 372". Amazing how ye olde telephone system has changed in such a short number of years!!
I have not been able to find any information about this building or business. If somebody knows any of the history, I would be delighted to read about it below.
This week Hurricane Sandy devastatingly trashed America's eastern seaboard, in some cases even inland for hundreds of miles. From what I have been reading it came as a bit of a shock being so late in the hurricane season, being so far north and being so strong in it's intensity. Frankly, I am genuinely and mightily relieved not to have had to experience such power of nature this season down in the more traditional hurricane hotspot of the Gulf Coast.
Today's "Saturday Flashback" photo shows the high-water mark from Hurricane Ike in downtown Galveston, Texas, where ferocious winds also took a mighty toll en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ike . As I have mentioned in a previous post, Kim, 50 miles inland was without power for three weeks in September 2008.
The photo below gives more of a context to the height that the water reached. By the way, the lower plaque reads "1900 Survivor Storm" referring back to a previous major disaster in which some 8000 people died en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

This week's "Saturday Flashback" poses an intriguing question. I can't find any evidence to back it up. However, I've been told that the outside of many bars in Spain were originally painted "wine red" because this was an easy way of informing an illiterate population that vino tinto and other alcohol was on sale.
This week's Saturday Flashback goes back more than a century to a classic era of American railroads.
Great to see this facade preserved on a historic building that still stands in Galveston.
The letters stand for :
Galveston, Houston & Henderson (Railroad)
International & Great Northern (Railroad Company)
Missouri, Kansas & Texas (Railroad)
A tv screen grab taken from Tony Robinson's "Walking Through History" series. The original is actually an English Heritage / RAF still photo taken in 1950.
The pillbox in the main photo posted above can be seen in the bottom left corner adjacent to the tv "pause" symbol. The huge tower is described as "the receiving array of the Ringstead Chain Home Station" The transmitting towers were about half a mile to the east and not in this photo. Although there are plenty of other derelict WW2 buildings in the woods, I couldn't find any evidence remaining of the tower and do not know at what date it was demolished.
I don't know if this was taken during take off or landing? It is geotagged at the taking off location, King Salmon, Alaska.
A tiny commemoration of what used to be the Queen's Hotel next to Bournemouth West Station. The building is now a Co-op supermarket.

Saturday's Flashback today goes back just one year to a whale-watching trip off the California coast. As it turned out, there was only a very poor distant view of a Gray Whale. However, there were lots of Common Dolphin such as this one.
I rather liked the fact that only the tail could be seen. So the photo has received a good dose of paint to partly obscure the wonkly focus. You can see a more typical photo below!

This week's Saturday Flashback goes back to a seminal time in Texan history. Immediately after the mass 'evacuation' / 'retreat' mentioned above, Mexican forces were routed and the area became the Independent Republic of Texas before joining the United States some 10 years later.
