Іt has а dome shaped cap wіth а gallery whіch wаs winded by аn eight-bladed fantail, ten feet six inches іn diameter. The cap іs nоw fixed аnd unable tо turn tо wind.

A family wedding c1912 with the addition of some modern day confetti. Love the bridesmaids' hats.
I've already used real rose petals and wanted to use the very similar confetti so this is what I decided to do with it.

The riverside at Reedham c1912 The passenger steamer seen heading downstream was probably the "Pride of the Yare" which ran day trips between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. It was the sister ship to the well known "Queen of The Broads" which continued to operate on the Broads until it was broken up in 1976. The Pride of the Yare was sold and moved to the River Trent in Nottingham c1950s.
In the background, on the far right, you can see part of the old riverside maltings complex. By the 1930s, the maltings buildings were being used as a bottling plant for a local wine merchant and then became a mushroom factory . During the 1960s and 1970s it was the site of the Reedcraft boatyard - that business later moved further upstream. The old maltings were demolished and housing now occupies the site in the form of Quay Terrace.

Glass by Pearce & Cutler c1912 on the south side of the nave.
St Thomas's church in Nuthurst, on the southern edge of Hockley Heath, was built in 1879 by John Cotton (partially in answer to the erection of the fine Umberslade Baptist church set in the fields a short distance further south).
The real surprise after it's hard external brick is the pale interior, all finished in yellow brick in contrast to the red outside. The church also has some good Arts & Crafts glass in the nave, specifically a recently identified Theodora Salusbury window.
The church is normally kept locked (as a couple of less successful previous visits proved) but I am happy to report that the church is now opened on Sundays between 11am & 2pm.

My Great Grandpa Frank and his Brother, Arthur, moved with the family to Brantford, Ontario, Canada while they installed sandcutters there. My Great Uncle Art was born while they were living there. Possibly a sister, too.
A secend attempt at colourising this photograph. I've used slightly less vivid colours in an effort to make it look more realistic.

Statement of Significance
History
Linked with the construction of 257-265 Flinders Lane (q.v.), this was one of two warehouses commissioned by L. Stevenson & Sons (merchants and warehousemen) from builders, Christopherson & Brown. Both were designed by architects, Reed Smart & Tappin, in 1898.
By the early 1900s, the City Property Co. Ltd. was the owner with Stevenson's first tenants, warehousemen and
millinery specialists Brooks McGlashan, and McHarg (and others) staying on. D. & W. Murray Ltd. (warehousemen) were the next owners c1912 and, like Stevensons, they also owned the two adjoining warehouses on the east. Their architects, Bates Peebles and Smart, designed extra floors for these and possibly 267-75 Flinders Lane, boosting the former five levels to seven in ratebook descriptions (six floors and basement today). Tenants sharing the Lane (271-275) include Kemsley & Co., importers and indenters, many manufacturers' agents, Law & Tipton, straw hat makers and Charles Bayer & Co., manufacturers.
Later alterations were carried out for Brooks McGlashan & McHarg, in 1936, to the design of H.W. & F.B. Tompkins. These converted the ground level to retail shopfronts, after 40 years of wholesaling. A shallow cantilever verandah was also added.
Brooks, McGlashan & McHarg started their fancy goods importing business in 1884, close to this site, under John Brooks. McGlashan joined him from a long stint with William Watson & Sons and McHarg came from Patterson, Laing & Bruce. Each had specialized in a particular branch of the trade and in the late 1880s they claimed to be the only colonial firm to send a buyer to Britain and the Continent twice a year. Their business brought ribbons, laces, silks, embroideries, feathers, flowers and millinery to their Melbourne warehouse, attracting as co-tenants other like agents or hat manufacturers, settled close to their supply of materials.
Description
An austere Italian Renaissance design in unpainted cement rendered brick work with dividing string and cornice moulds and a gabled pediment at the parapet. Windows are timber-framed in six-lights and subtle Tuscan order capitals have been applied to the dividing pilasters.
External Integrity
Generally original (shopfronts and canopy accounted for) except for added air units and painted brick at the rear.
Streetscape
Contributing to an important late 19th early 20th Century warehouse streetscape.
Significance
Externally near original in a successful if austere and conservative design and typical of the adjacent notable warehouse streetscape.
