Coley.
Unused postcard. View from the new Churchyard on the opposite side of Coley Road. In this yard are buried a couple of members of the Stocks family and Frederick Crowther (and several family members) who worked for them, and helped mark out this yard.
The Church once served Queensbury and Haley Hill etc. Those parts of the Parish were later to come under Holy Trintiy (Queensbury) still going, and All Souls (Haley Hill) redundant. Much later in c1911 St Matthews Church (Northowram) was built, that church is still used.
The church at Coley still has a congregation despite it's location.
Dr. William J. Graham's dog, Buster, with his pal Officer William J. Laird outside the doctor's house at 577 Smithfield Ave. Buster and Laird walked "the beat" together with Buster carrying his own billy club attached to his collar.
This photograph is in the Uley Society archive. The inscription on its back reads 'My father Frank Northern stepping out of Stouts Hill ca 1911... C.F-N.'

Listed Grade II*
Large detached house, latterly a school, in conversion to dwellings at time of survey. Mid to late C18. Ashlar limestone. A picturesque Gothick mansion with a formal, north facing principal block with symmetrical two-storey semi-octagonal bays, large projecting semi-octagonal bay with staircase at rear, and flanked by rambling service wing to right; later, C20 extensions not included.
Main front, two storeys, 3+3+3 windows, all with ogee heads and pilasters with impost blocks, ground floor central pair with ogee head plus ogee, and central first floor light between pilasters. Central pair 6-panel doors under cusped flat ogee head, with Batty Langley corinthianesque columns, quatrefoil plan, with coved, decorated cornice, approached by two steps. Long two storey wing, right with central canted bay set back behind crenellated corridor connection, 3-windowed, under flat four-centred heads, sashes with glazing bars; in return at far end plain pointed windows with sashes and bars painted in blank panels, large semi-circular stair turret.
Interiors: some rich Gothick decoration especially in octagonal room, ground floor, left, with flat ogee-headed panels and delicate crenellation to cornice and pinnacled side panels to fireplace; twisted guillocle decoration to dado rail; massive stone fireplace in central hall and double doors flanked by 4 grouped Batty Langley columns, and with coved cornice with intersecting pointed arch decoration. Grand staircase on octagonal plan in open well, swept handrail to trefoil-headed balusters in two ranges, and circular newels at changes of direction; treads with moulded nosings and decorative strings combining quatrefoil and trefoil motifs. Octagonal roof-light over. Right of main hall large saloon with bay, panelled in classical manner but with Gothick decorations; partitions timber framed, plaster facings.
This is a major example of the Gothick country house style, with, at time of survey, substantial remains of original interior decor, of significance.

In 1911 Grave and Dwyer Motor Co., the agency for the "Standard" motor car.
In 1912 to 1925 this was Grave and Dwyer Motor Co and R. S.Cumpston the Engraver and Dye-sinker.
In 1926 to 1954 this was Comet Motors Ltd, Ford Motor Car Agents and R. S.Cumpston Engraver and Dye-sinker.
In Jun 1916 it was reported that, "Dan Dwyer of the Garage, drives for his own family use, the most dilapidated motor car in Perth, while selling some of the smartest".
In Sep 1916 it was reported that, "A few weeks ago appeared in this paper a few lines of airy persiflage to the effect that Dan Dwyer, of the Grave and Dwyer Motor Works, drove the absolutely most disreputable car in Perth. Whereupon, after perusing the said screed, D.D. started to sum it up, admit the impeachment, and get to work on a new car which is about to astonish the State. Retaining his old Ford chassis, he had a body built at Daniel White's that will make even Morrie Crawcour's pretty Sunbeam look like tbree'ha'pence and put Jimmy Nicholas's cream-colored speeder in a back-street garage. Dan's beautiful toy ls a dazzling enamel white, which he'll find out when he has to wash it down and repaint. "That par. of yours", said Freddy Grave, Dan's partner, "has cost our firm about a hundred and fifty jim, Until 'The Sunday Times' spoke, Dan was quite content with his bus. Now nothing but the best is good enough."

An afternoon in Bath in Somerset.
This time, we got a Park & Ride bus, then after lunch walked to the Pulteney Bridge to get a River Cruise in a boat up the River Avon.
The Parade Gardens is a grade II listed park in Bath, Somerset, England. The gardens are situated to the south of the Empire Hotel, Bath and 250 yards to the east of Bath Abbey.
There is a small fee to enter Parade Gardens or residents with a Discovery Card have free access. There is also a cafe on site.
Originally known as St James's Park, it was laid out in 1709 to accompany Assembly Rooms for Spa visitors, which were built by Thomas Harrison and conceived by Beau Nash. With the construction of the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution in 1824 on the site of the former assembly rooms, the gardens became known as the Institution Gardens.

Around 20 years ago the company using the old P&M factory site had a huge problem with rats, they got in a pest exterminator and he found the rats were coming from an underground room that had been sealed up many years earlier.
That room was full of c1911 P&M spares....handlebars, cylinders, frame tubes and all sorts of bits.
The hoard was sold off and did the autojumbles for a while.
c1911 postcard view of a train approaching the B. & O. (Baltimore & Ohio) Railroad Depot in Nappanee, Indiana. The B. & O. crossed Main Street midway between Lincoln and Randolph Streets. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Nappanee shows the older wood frame depot approximately 100 yards west of the crossing on the north side of the tracks. The map set also shows the newer brick depot (“from plans”) just east of the older depot. That map set was dated September 1910 and the newer depot hadn’t been built yet when those maps were being prepared.
A small building in the background on the right was a business. The building was probably on Locke Street near the Lincoln Street intersection. The names (or name) painted at the top of the building were divided by a large horseshoe. The name to the right of the horseshoe was _EELY. A dark sign with white lettering was mounted below the horseshoe. The top line of that dark sign included the name _. _. HOOVER. A pair of wagon wheels (possibly attached to an axle) sat near the building. The horseshoe suggests this was a blacksmith shop.

North nave window by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, c1911, depicting the Holy Family presided over by an angel.
St Paul's church at Woodhouse Eaves dates back to 1837 when it was built to the designs of William Railton and subsequently altered with transept extensions in 1880. It is a substantial 19th century church with a west tower and a wide nave flanked by double-transepts and a narrower chancel beyond, all in a pseudo-Early-English style with lancet windows throughout.
The inside is light and spacious and feels a well loved and maintained church. There is a good mixture of Victorian glass in many of the windows, but the most rewarding here are the smaller pair of Arts & Crafts windows in the chancel by Theodora Salusbury.
Woodhouse Eaves church is probably normally kept locked like most in the area outside of service times, but is worth seeing inside if at all possible.
