Originally built as the Phoenix Cotton Mill in 1881, the building would eventually go on to become the site where the Marathon Automobile lineup would be made from 1910 to 1914 when production would cease. While parts would continue to be made until 1918, the building would under go several ownership changes until Barry Walker purchased it in 1986, and over the last 33 years, has transformed the building into a space for artist and photographer studios, offices, radio station and salons, as well as restaurants, retail stores, & a museum dedicated the Marathon Motor Works. 1-13-19

Former Colas "Robin of Templecombe" now GBRf new livery 47739 outside the works. 47812 just visible on the right.
The mill pond in the foreground - the watermills have produced everything from grain to gunpowder, copper and clothing.
The building with the black roof was built in 1795, a mansion for the factory owner. The buildings to the right were built 1832-1869, on top of the stream "Mølleåen" (the "Mill stream"), you can see the intake of water under the small bridge to the right of the outdoor seating. Textiles were produced at Brede Works from 1832 until it was closed down in 1956.
The buildings were taken over by the National Museum of Denmark in the 1960s. The museum, Brede Works, is Denmark's largest, protected industrial plants.
In 1977 Derby Works were overhauling Class 40 locomotives. Seen from a passing train, 40186 and sister 149 await release back into traffic on 1st August 1977.

18th May 1980
26013 was an unusual visitor to Crewe Works when it spent some time there in 1980. Examples of the regular visitors are visible in the background.
The sad sight of the unique 8P BR Standard pacific 71000 "Duke of Gloucester" in Crewe Works yard. The loco had a bag over its chimney but was complete, including the nameplates. Eventually the cylinders and Caprotti valve gear were removed for the museum with the remainder ready for scrap. Fortunately the remains were purchased, new cylinders cast and the whole loco rebuilt as per the original design. The result was that the loco was transformed and performed brilliantly in preservation.
This is Tyseley Loco Works, not the current one, but the original works, which was part of 84E., Tyseley loco shed.
The victim in this picture is 40110. The loco is a Stanier 3P 2-6-2 built at Derby Works 10/07/1935 It was allocated to Wrexham Rhosddu (6E) at the time of Peter's picture but is carried 84K shed plates, I assume the depot had become part of the Western Region. 40110 was withdrawn 05/05/1962 and scrapped the following month

Back in the days when you could “sign in“ and purchase a day lineside permit (how things have changed !) The Brighton Works shunter was reincarnated with some dextrous use of Fablon.
Stepney in disguise romps away from Sheffield Park recreating the days when the Brighton engine was used on an occasional railtour.

Bali has been doubly blessed: firstly, with abundantly productive fields, and secondly, with people who were cooperative, rather than overly competitive, and who therefore shared the products of those fields - allowing them to spend time on creating art and beautiful buildings.
The ornate curlicues on temples and houses start somewhere, as we discover when we are bicycling through the Balinese countryside. Even though the cement pieces are cast in forms, there is a lot of labour in tidying them up and sanding them smooth.

In the small Carbon County Pennsylvania town of Weatherly, once stood the Weatherly Train Works where the Lehigh Valley Railroad would build and maintain locomotives and rail cars of various types. The train works existed in this building between 1867 and 1910. One of the other major industrial legacies of Weatherly, steel manufacturing, then took over in 1913 and the Weatherly Steel Company was productive in this location until 1989. In recent years, the building has felt the ravages of both time and weather and the roof had collapsed leaving only the stone walls to let anyone know that industry once existed at this spot. Today, the Weatherly Rotary Club works to raise funds to restore the building while also maintaining a small museum on the adjoining ground. My Wife and I were given a tour of the museum by one of the extremely knowledgeable Rotary members where we learned all about the ties the town also had to Bethlehem Steel and other nearby industrial giants.

I have seldom eaten the Taylor Ham but it was very popular with my mother’s generation. They even had a exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair in 64/65.
“Pork roll is a processed meat commonly available in New Jersey and neighboring states. It was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, and sold as "Taylor's Prepared Ham" until 1906. Though since then food labeling regulations require Taylor and all other manufacturers to label it "pork roll", people in northern New Jersey still refer to it as "Taylor ham".
The "Is it pork roll or Taylor ham?" question is a notable element of New Jersey culture, and the division over what name one uses divides the state along roughly north–south geographic regions.
A 2016 reader poll including more than 70,000 respondents from all 565 municipalities across New Jersey found that the dividing line straddled the Union–Middlesex county border in the east and followed Interstate 78 through the middle of Somerset and Hunterdon counties in the west.”
Forewarned to me by a friend.
