This is my husband's father aged 18 months, strange that he was given a ripe tomato to hold while being photographed.

Looking east down the mid 13c nave past the 1790s Act of parliament clock which for 9 months placed a tax on all new clocks. As a result people stopped buying them and more public institutions and pubs installed one to help. This one is thought to have been originally installed in the local pub flic.kr/p/WYuoaT www.npvm.org.uk/objects/25/index.htm
c1912 Screen and c1900 pews. . - Church of St Laurence Brundall, Norfolk
So many books to choose from - dating from the 1800's to 1950's. After the crowd thinned out (most of the people at the sale were buying boxes of books) I browsed the remaining books and bought: Airmail Stamp Album c. 1934, Everybody's Party Book with Indoor Games c.1931, Lowney's Cook Book c1912 (my olderst cook book to date!) there a few color illustrations. Most of the books were priced between $1.00 to $4.00. I had a 1930's copy of a Bobbsey Twins book, but put it down and couldn't find it when i was ready to leave :(

Like many early tram and bus operators the Bath Electric Tramways Co. Ltd. issued a guide book to inform passengers as to their services and the opportunities such transport opened to residents and visitors. Written for the Company by Lawrence H. Wilson the guide book, with this dull marbled red card cover, was to show Bath "through and round the city by Electric Car with notes also on popular excursions to some of the old world towns and villages in the neighbourhood by motor 'bus". Electric car here means of course the tramcar and electric 'cars had first run in the city in 1904 when a B.E.T backed company started to operate on what had been previously horse tram served routes dating back to 1880.
The Company were very early proponents of the new motor bus purchasing their first vehicles in 1906 and they not only stuck at it, unlike many other early motor bus operators, they made quite the success of them as this guide book shows; not only were proposed tram routes opened using buses but routes acted as feeders to the city's tram routes as well as some extensive 'long distance' services. In 1936 the Bath Company was effectively purchased by the major operator the Bristol Carriage & Tramways Co. Ltd, who, as they were in their home city, set about abandoning the tram system and replacing them with Bristol built buses. The last tram ran in 1939.
The guide that contains detailed descriptions of routes and destinations is not dated; a pencil date of 1906 is present but that feels a little early but it could be a little later and it its certainly, given the style, pre-WW1.
c1912 postcard view of the post office in Hope, Indiana. A post office has been in operation in Hope since 1834. This location was on the public square at the northeast corner of Washington and Harrison Streets. The building didn’t exist when the 1901 and 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Hope were published, but Postal Bulleting 9825 (July 1, 1912) puts the post office in this vicinity. The building still stands on that corner today, but serves a different purpose. This view was looking northeast from the intersection.
Before moving to this location, the Hope Post Office had been in at least two other nearby locations on the square. The 1901 map set shows the post office on the east side of the public square in a wood frame building about 75 feet north of the Washington Street intersection. By the time the 1910 map set was being prepared, the post office had moved into a pre-existing brick building on the north side of the square. It occupied the west half of a brick building that had a china and toys business in the east half.
The white building east of the post office in this scene is labeled an unspecified type of “office” in the 1910 map set.

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.
The Elizabeth Simpson Lifeboat and crew, pictured at Gorleston c1912.
Launched on the 23rd October 1889, the Elizabeth Simpson was one of the private lifeboats operated by the Ranger’s Beach Company for the Gorleston Volunteer Lifeboat Association. Built by the Beeching brothers, she was funded by the donation of £500 by a Miss Elizabeth Simpson Stone who had witnessed the tragic capsize of the lifeboat Refuge in 1888. Originally powered by oar and sail, the Elizabeth Simpson was motorized in 1926 and, with earnings from salvage dwindling, began to run sea trips for visitors during the summer months. The trips were advertised with the slogan “Help us in summer to save drowning men in winter“. Her last launch as a lifeboat was in February 1938, having given 50 years of service during which time she had saved over 400 lives.
She continued to opearte as a trip boat on the Norfolk Broads until the 1990s. The latest reference that I can find for her suggests that she is now sitting in a garden somewhere in North Norfolk awaiting restoration.
c1912 postcard view of South Main Street in Elkhart, Indiana. This view was looking northwest from a point south of Hickory Street (now known as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive). The sign on the utility pole at the left edge of the scene announced INTERURBAN CARS STOP HERE. The 1910 and 1917 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Elkhart show a vacant lot on that south corner of the intersection. On the west corner, the sign advertised SUB-POST OFFICE. A U.S. MAIL box stood on the sidewalk. Both map sets show a drugstore on that corner (817 South Main Street). Next door, the small sign hanging from the single-story frame building advertised THE SOUTH SIDE CLEANERS. The 1910 map set shows a confectionery business at that address (811 South Main Street). In 1917, a shoe repairing business was located there.
Farther up the street was a two-story brick building. The sign on the side of that building advertised WILLIAM H. THEIS HARDWARE AND STOVES. A 1912 city directory¹ listed Wm. H. Theis under the “Hardware, Stoves and Tinware” category with an address at 805 South Main Street. Both map sets show the building (with the three bay windows) on the south corner at St. Joseph Street (St. Joe Street today). The map sets also show a hardware store in the south end of that building (805 South Main Street).
The streetcar had a CLEVELAND AVE sign on the front.
The structures on northeast side of Main Street were wood frame and a mix of houses and businesses that included the Monger Lumber Company.

Bragg's Mill was built in 1757 by William Haylock, a carpenter of Ashdon. In 1813, the mill was advertised for sale, then having two pairs of millstones. At this time it was still an open trestle mill. The mill was extended at the tail c1815.
A roundhouse was added circa 1820. The mill was working until c1912. By 1932 the mill was being propped up from beneath, as the side girt on the left side had failed. The mill was renovated in the late 1950s, but was derelict again by 1974, when further repairs were carried out. The sails were removed in the 1990s.
The mill was restored in 1999 and new sails were fitted in 2006 after being awarded a Lottery grant in 2004.

Inside the 2nd Wendling Store c1912.
L-R: unknown, unknown, unknown, Ernie Endicott, Grover Wilson, Bud Buell
The store was built in October/November of 1900. In 1912, it was expanded to the west. That extension is not in this picture, yet a 48 star flag hangs in the top right, hence the date. The store was closed on Labor Day weekend 1926 when the Red-N-White store held its official opening.
There are many items visible in this photo. On the left we see a stack of canned tomatoes on sale. On the right you can see a roll of wrapping paper for purchases, a scale and cash register. Bare light bulbs hang from the ceiling. Several advertisements and other products can be seen with close examination.
This was a two story building and it housed the Booth-Kelly company offices upstairs. This store also held the US Post Office for Wendling.
If you can identify any of the unknown men, please comment.

Bradfield Workhouse was built in 1769 and could cater for 60 inmates, although there were occasionally up to 90. The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 grouped parishes together in Unions, and Wortley Union, to which Bradfield had been assigned, was formed in 1838. From that time inmates in Bradfield Workhouse also came from the other parishes in the Union until it was replaced by the Wortley Union Workhouse at Grenoside in 1850.
Those who were in the workhouse most often were women, the elderly and children. It was unusual for whole families to be there, perhaps only when the father was sick or unemployed. Those with mental or physical incapacity also often found themselves in the workhouse.
The building is now split into Church Cottage, Vestry Cottage & Wesley Cottage,
Towngate, High Bradfield.

An early view of the sugar beet factory at Cantley in Norfolk c1912, shortly after it opened. The sugar beet factory was the first of its kind in the UK and was built by the Anglo-Netherlands Sugar Corporation who were, at that time, one of the largest landowners in the area. Production was shortlived as the factory was closed down after the outbreak of the First World War, however, the machinery was maintained throughout its closure and production finally resumed in 1920.
