Insuk, who lives in a small countryside, is captivating the hearts of many men with her innocent appearance and bright personality. However, black shadows begin to cast on her road, which seemed to only lead on sunny days. If there are a lot of bees looking for flowers, things will surely happen. The men around her gradually lead her to her depravity...
The City seems to be growing new student accommodation by the minute.
These projects are designed to reap profits for fat cat developers who see an easy buck in this type of intense accommodation.
There will reach a point where the market is saturated and we will finish up with empty block of accommodation sitting alongside the empty block of offices that grace many of Sheffield's streets.
It is galling that with all the bad press about lack of housing for Britain's inhabitants and the decimation of the social housing market by right wing tory policies and the Thatcher inspired 'Right to Buy'
The sooner that May & Co can be firmly kicked into touch, the sooner, we hope, that reason will reign and Britain will once again become a country worth living in, run by people who actually care!
Hounslow Laundry, Hounslow, 1979
20d-64: works, laundry, demolition,
I didn't just photograph the Regents Canal, but few of the other things at the time were in London. But there were other occasions when I went out for quite different reasons but took a camera - usually the Leica M2 with the 35mm Summilux - with me.
The laundry business was hit both by the introduction of launderettes, but also because more and more households were getting washing machines - at first twin-tubs and then automatics. But also land values in London were rising and it became more and more attractive to close down businesses and sell off the land for development.
Long ago I used to cycle past Hounslow Laundry on the London Road between Hounslow and Isleworth on my way to school, one of several sites where vans and other vehicles were liable to turn in or out of without warning. I still had an aunt in her 80s living in Hounslow in sheltered accommodation on Star Rd in 1979, and these pictures were taken after visiting her.

Spectators anticipate the arrival of the Monticello Victory as it nears the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge.
On May 31, 1981, while lying empty at Port Arthur, Texas, an explosion, followed by a fire occurred on board the American steam tanker Monticello Victory. Flames reaching 50 feet were reported to have erupted from her tanks. Heavy damage was sustained to the centre of the main deck, which was peeled back for 50 feet, the aft accommodation, the pump room and machinery, but there were no casualties to any of the 9 crewmen who were on-board at the time. With a hull and machinery value of $16m, the 20 year old Monticello Vicotry was declared a CTL and scrapped.

HMS Cavalier is a retired C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by J. Samuel White and Company at East Cowes on 28 March 1943, launched on 7 April 1944, and commissioned on 22 November 1944. She served in World War II and in various commissions in the Far East until she was decommissioned in 1972. After decommissioning she was preserved as a museum ship and currently resides at Chatham Historic Dockyard.
Construction
Cavalier was one of 96 War Emergency Programme destroyers ordered between 1940 and 1942. She was one of the first ships to be built with the forward and aft portions of her hull welded, with the midsection riveted to ensure strength. The new process gave the ship additional speed. In 1970 a 64-mile race was arranged between Cavalier and the frigate Rapid, which had the same hull form and machinery. Cavalier beat Rapid by 30 yards (27 m) after Rapid lifted a safety valve, reaching an average speed of 31.8 knots (58.9 km/h).
Service history
Cavalier returning to Portsmouth in 1946
After commissioning she joined the 6th Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Home Fleet, and took part in a number of operations off Norway. Most notably in February 1945 she was despatched with the destroyers Myngs and Scorpion[5] to reinforce a convoy from the Kola Inlet in Russia, which had suffered attacks from enemy aircraft and U-boats, and had subsequently been scattered by a violent storm. She and the other escorts reformed the convoy, and returned to Britain with the loss of only three of the thirty-four ships. This action earned Cavalier a battle honour.
Later in 1945 Cavalier was despatched to the Far East, where she provided naval gunfire support during the Battle of Surabaya. In February 1946 she went to Bombay to help quell the Royal Indian Navy Mutiny. After some time in the British Pacific Fleet she was paid off in May 1946 and was placed in reserve at Portsmouth.
Cavalier returned to service in 1957 after a modernisation, which included removing some of her torpedo tubes in favour of Squid anti-submarine mortars. She was again sent to the Far East, and joined the 8th Destroyer Squadron in Singapore. In December 1962 she transported 180 troops from Singapore to Brunei to help suppress a rebellion that became part of the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation. After disembarking the troops she remained in Brunei as a communications centre for several days until other Royal Navy ships arrived to relieve her.
Cavalier was decommissioned in 1972 along with HMS Wellington (moored in London), and is the last surviving British destroyer of World War 2 still in the UK.
After decommissioning[edit]
After decommissioning at Chatham Dockyard, she was laid up in Portsmouth. As a unique survivor, after a five-year campaign led by Lord Louis Mountbatten, the ship was purchased by the Cavalier Trust for £65,000 and handed over on Trafalgar Day 1977 in Portsmouth. By selling the ship to the Trust, the UK Government and the Royal Navy severed all formal connection and responsibility for the ship. A special warrant was issued that allows her to retain the prefix "HMS" (Her Majesty's Ship) and fly the White Ensign, a privilege normally only enjoyed by commissioned ships of the Royal Navy. A similar privilege is enjoyed by another museum ship, the cruiser Belfast.
Moved to Southampton, Cavalier opened as a museum and memorial ship in August 1982. This was not commercially successful, and in October 1983 the ship was moved to Brighton, where she formed the centrepiece of a newly built yacht marina.
In 1987, the ship was brought to the River Tyne to form the centrepiece of a national shipbuilding exhibition centre planned by South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council in the former shipyard of Hawthorn Leslie and Company, builders of many similar destroyers. The plans for the museum came to nothing, and the borough council, faced with annual maintenance costs of £30,000 and a hardening of public opinion against unnecessary expenditure, resolved to sell the ship and wind up the venture in 1996. The ship sat in a dry dock (owing to a previous list) in a rusting condition, awaiting a buyer or scrapping in situ.
After the reforming of the Cavalier Trust, and a debate in Parliament, in 1998 Cavalier was bought by Chatham Historic Dockyard for display as a museum ship. Arriving on 23 May 1998, Cavalier now resides in No. 2 dry-dock.
On 14 November 2007, Cavalier was officially designated as a war memorial to the 142 Royal Navy destroyers sunk during World War II and the 11,000 men killed on those ships. The unveiling of a bronze monument created by the artist Kenneth Potts was conducted by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The monument is adjacent to the ship at the Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent.
In the summer of 2009 the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust made available accommodation on board the ship for youth groups who wish to stay on board and experience life on board a Royal Naval Destroyer.
In September 2010, Cavalier fired the first full broadside from a ship flying the White Ensign since a firing by the destroyer London in December 1981. This was due to the work of the heritage naval gun crew who restored all three 4.5-in guns back to working condition in conjunction with the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.
In April 2014 Cavalier was added to Google Maps Business View (formerly Google Business Photos) by CInsideMedia Ltd, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of her launch. The tour, which includes Cavalier's engine and gear room, was enhanced with interactive audio hotspots to enable visitors with accessibility issues to explore the ship.
