Lots of piles of bricks in Nanning as building continues at breakneck pace. The photo was oversaturated for effect.
The Grane brickworks opened in September 1895. A newspaper report of the opening described the plant: "The present works consist of a boiler house, engine house, machine house, and grinding house. They are erected in red brick, and are easily accessible, facing the turnpike. The boiler is 37ft by 7ft. No.1 Grinding mill is 9ft in diameter. The engines which can be worked up to 90 horse power, are by Bellhouse of Manchester. The machinery is of the latest patent and is applied by Messrs. C. Whittaker & Co. of Accrington. It is expected as the works now stand, a turn out of 500 bricks a hour can be effected. There is now only one machine, but another four are expected."
Although I don't like to see bricks defaced in this manner, this location is quite photogenic because of it.
A few of us were discussing this location at Camera Club last Monday evening, so thought I'd have a re-look at some of my photos taken last summer.

A rather common sight in less developed areas of Tennessee, to keep them from being run down or shot up. The square hole below the mailbox is meant to receive a newspaper box. I imagine the rectangular receptacles at the base are meant to be planters, not a usual feature.

George Basford is first listed in 1864 as a manufacturer of blue and red floor tiles at Ellgreave Street. Basford Brothers brickworks is listed at Dale Hall, Burslem in 1868-70 and in 1873-79 as owned by James Powell Basford. The brickworks was on the south side of Ellgreave Street with a small clay pit by the road and one round kiln.
An example from this works can be seen in the comprehensive displays about the North Staffordshire brick industry at the Apedale Heritage Centre.
The mall didn't have the best lighting, so some of these pictures may not have come out the best.

I saw Duru sitting on a wall in Nottingham, so went over and introduced my stranger project to her. Across the road was a church, and I thought the colour of Duru’s hair and top would go well with the tones of the stonework. The wind caused a few problems as it blew Duru’s hair across her face so I tried to time my shots to when the breeze wasn’t as strong. I do like how the wind added some movement to Duru’s hair and that the weak sunlight was strong enough to provide some effective side lighting to her hair.
Duru is from Istanbul, Turkey, and had come to England to study in Nottingham. Duru had just begun her first year of three in music business. Duru told me she had chosen England over America as it was closer to home and she also thought America was too big.
Duru plays the cello and was a little disappointed that she hadn’t been able to bring it with her due to cost. She would have had to buy a plane seat for the cello as well as herself and couldn’t justify the expense. Duru used to play her instrument in an orchestra back home in Istanbul but now plays for her own enjoyment.
If I could grant Duru a wish what would it be? “To bring her cello to the U.K.” she said.
I asked Duru what her guilty pleasure was and she said eating too much chocolate.
Thank-you Duru for saying yes to me photographing you for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.

Working in the city means your never parked close to work. I was running quickly in the rain to my car from the bakery when I noticed how pretty it all really way. Pulled my phone out and try to shield it from the windy gust of rain, and took this shot. I'm not sure others will see what I did in that moment. I just think the streets are so pretty with the bricks and cobble stones, and they were simply getting a nice bath today. I posted a lot of this past weekend event to my page,
please check them out.

The building was built in phases; the original structure was completed in 1887 its architect was John T. Harris.

It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Bohm-NBBJ renovated the building in 1986 for the law firm Bricker & Eckler.
Weeds and ferns have taken over where once stood water powered machinery. The curved brickwork adds shape and form to the photograph.
