Opened in 1911 as the New Prince's Theatre with the word 'New' being dropped in the following decade. The name change to Shaftesbury Theatre came in 1963. The famous musical Hair had a long run here being brought to an end when part of the ceiling collasped in 1973. The theatre now seats about 1,400 people compared to the 2,392 seats back in 1911.

The starting point of the ground offensive element of Operation Market Garden in September 1944.
The bridge photographed here is a post war construction. When the Allied Forces took control of this area on 10th September 1944 a German built pontoon bridge was in place here replacing the orginal bridge destroyed in 1940 to slow down the German advance.
Crossing the Bocholt-Herentals Canal this is Bridge Number 9, taken and protected by the 615th Field Squadron, RE, known as Joe's Troops. Crossing the bridge the road leads to, Valkenswaard, Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem. If the ground troops taking this route had not been ordered to stop for overnight resting the result of Operation Market Garden may well have achieved its objectives. Being 12 hours late appears to have been the difference .
This is the lower of two dams, very close to the German border, for the Vianden Pumped Storage Plant. Electricity from this hydro-electric generation station is used for peak demand.
Plans were first made for a hydro-electric facility here back in 1925. But is was not until the late 1950's that construction actually started with power coming onstream in 1962.

The famous pleasure pier stretching out in to the Thames Estuary has had a railway since 1892. A tramway is really a better description of it. Recent reports in the local press say that discussion is in progress to replace the two current trains and track that came in to service back in 1986.
