A legal wall mural of an urban landscape (embellished with rococo stencils, gear wheels, and ironic flying pigs) has been slashed (defaced, dissed) by "toy" throw-ups of balloon-style lettering and scribbled tags.

View south from Brown Lane East through the shared yards of the Recreations. Recreation Grove, Mount, Street, View, Terrace and Place. These streets of back to back houses were built between 1894 and 1909 on the site of Holbeck Recreation Ground.
These yards would have housed shared privies (i.e. toilets) and ashpits. I am not sure if these houses were sophisticated enough to have had proper water closets (i.e. flushing toilets) or if they would have been earth closets that would be emptied by a night soil man. My Granddad grew up in a house on Tyneside that had an earth closet. He said in winter it was quite a pleasant experience if you got in just after some warm ashes from the coal fire had been put down it.
As you can see these yards are equipped with satellite television and smelly old mattresses.

The Birmingham Back to Backs are the only remaining examples "of the thousands of similar houses that were built, literally back to back, around courtyards, for the rapidly increasing population of Britain's expanding industrial towns." But you aren't allowed to take pictures inside. Plus I had to wait a bit for the next tour. So I focused on the obvious: sweets :o)

Die "Birmingham Back to Backs" sind die einzig verbliebenen Beispiele dieser Form von Gebäuden, mit der man versucht hatte, der rasch steigenden Bevölkerung in den Industriestädten in England Herr zu werden. Ziemlich gruselig, wenn man sich vorstellt, dass ein Bett an gleich zwei Personen vermietet wurden, die sich weder kennen mussten noch zwangsläufig das gleiche Geschlecht hatten. (Unser Guide meinte allerdings, dass sich die Leute dann relativ schnell wohl doch kannten....)
Aber in den Häusern durfte man nicht fotografieren. Außerdem musste ich noch ein wenig auf den Beginn der Führung warten. Tja, ich hab' dann einfach das Naheliegende gemacht und diesen historisch anmutenden Süßigkeiten-Laden fotografiert. (Leerkaufen ist mir nicht ganz gelungen, aber ich habe es versucht...)

The Birmingham Back to Backs (also known as Court 15) at 50–54 Inge Street and 55–63 Hurst Street are the last surviving court of back-to-back houses in Birmingham, England. United Kingdom.
They are now operated as a museum by the National Trust.
They are examples of similar houses that were built for the rapidly increasing population of Birmingham during and after the Industrial Revolution as Birmingham's importance as a manufacturing city increased during the 1800's.
By the early 1970s, almost all of Birmingham's back-to-back houses had been demolished.
Most of these buildings here remained in residential use up until 1966 when they were declared as unfit for living in
These were listed buildings in 1988, restoration began in 2001 and opened as a musuem 2004

Epic (my employer) is going to have a bunch of epic shirts ("epicwear") available for purchase in a new internal store, and they asked me to do photography of a bunch of staffers wearing the shirts.
It was fun doing a "model" shoot, even with amateur models, and I had a blast.

By the end of the 18th century, the land where the houses are now located was owned by several families. The Inge family, after whom Inge Street is named, owned the land on the west side of the street whilst the Gooch family owned the land to the east side, where the back to backs were built. The plot of land was 50 yards long and 20 yards wide.
In 1789, Sir Thomas Gooch leased the land to John Willmore, a local toymaker. It was agreed that within a year, Willmore should construct two or more large houses at a total cost, including the outbuildings, of no less than £700. Willmore failed to do this and Court 15, as well as Court 14 adjacent, were built by his successors who remained on the street throughout the 19th century. When John Willmore died, the land was split between his sons Joseph and John Willmore, leading to both constructions looking different.
Court 14 was completed in 1802 by Joseph Willmore, a silversmith. It consisted of six front and eleven back houses with some workshops on the larger southern end of the building plot. When opened, it was known as Willmore's Court but was later renamed Court 14 Inge Street. It has since been demolished.
At this time, John Willmore, a carpenter and joiner, constructed a house and workshop for himself. By 1809, the undeveloped remainder of the plot consisted of two nailer's workshops and a cooper's workshop with a knacker's yard behind. The Hurst Street frontage was filled with sheds. By 1821, No. 50 Inge Street/ 1 Court 15 had been converted into a pair of back to backs. No. 52 Inge Street/ 2 Court 15 and No. 54 Inge Street/3 Court 15 were built about 1830. The terrace along Hurst Street was constructed in 1831.

Te amo...
con el mundo que no entiendo,
con la gente que no comprende,
con la ambivalencia de mi alma,
con la incoherencia de mis actos,
con la fatalidad del destino,
con la conspiración del deseo,
con la ambigüedad de los hechos.
Aún cuando te digo que no te amo, te amo,
hasta cuando te engaño, no te engaño,
en el fondo, llevo a cabo un plan,
para amarte mejor.

Jacquie, Sarah, and I ran three half marathons in three days (well Sarah ran a full and she is the pregnant one) in Oregon! Great time! I hope Sarah can make it next year as she'll have a baby! So much fun!

A made-up advance teaser poster for my possible 12-part motion picture production, Dexter's Odyssey, with Lee Lee in it. If I ever make Dexter's Odyssey, the epic (which will combine live action footage shot in HD Digital Video, Digital 3-D and 70mm IMAX film with traditional 2D hand drawn animation, CGI, animatronics, makeup, live action puppetry, miniatures, digital environments, digital matte paintings, special and visual effects wizardry and techniques both old and new and other stuff in ways that hadn't been attempted before since Who Framed Roger Rabbit and other projects) will be released in 12 three-hour parts, but filmed and made concurrently, back-to-back, at once, and at the same time in just 14 or 15 years or so (with some additional shooting along the way) and will be one of, if not, the biggest, greatest, most ambitious, and groundbreaking film projects of all time and of the 21st century.

One of the restored Back to Back houses on Inge Street. This is no 50 Inge Street. Run by the National Trust as a museum, it is also on Hurst Street. As I've not been in, I don't know what time period no 50 is decorated as.
To the left of this house is a Subway.
I didn't do individual shots of the other two houses like this one.

A visit to the Birmingham Back to Backs from the National Trust.
We had a guided tour in the morning.
The guided tour lasted well over an hour and a half (or longer). In a group of ten. There was other groups on tours as well. Best to book tickets in advance. National Trust members go free on their membership cards.
The Birmingham Back to Backs (also known as Court 15) are the city's last surviving court of back-to-back houses. They are preserved as examples of the thousands of similar houses that were built around shared courtyards, for the rapidly increasing population of Britain's expanding industrial towns. They are a very particular sort of British terraced housing. This sort of housing was deemed unsatisfactory, and the passage of the Public Health Act 1875 meant that no more were built; instead byelaw terraced houses took their place. This court, at 50–54 Inge Street and 55–63 Hurst Street, is now operated as a historic house museum by the National Trust.
I've just found this Interesting description on the CAMRA website
This is really the tail end of a pub that used to stretch to the Market Place (where the shop now is) .It was converted from many houses and stables down Row 46 all knocked into one. You can still see the changing floor levels in what remains of this once iconic pub. Originally owned by the Yarmouth wine merchants Backs, it was sold and renamed "The Prince Regent" in the 50's. But nobody called it that and the place was always known as "Backs".When it was closed, sold and then reopened in the 80's, naturally calling it "Back to Backs" was the thing to do. This is the only "Rows" pub left in Yarmouth and is what pubs in the town one were dark, vital and full of life.As you enter you will find the bar on your right but dont be deceived into thinking that is all. It goes on down the Row and up the stairs for quite a way. It is not to be missed by the connoisseurs of pubs with character and of historical interest. Sadly no Cask Ale.
Historic Interest
The building was constructed in the yard of a former hotel and had a small frontage onto the Market Place. After renovation in 1981 the pub reopened with a card shop fronting the Market Place with an entrance in Row 46, and named as Back To Backs.
