Wicken Fen was once part of a peat digging industry.
Windpumps such as this were used to drain turf pits and fields.
This windpump was built c1912 but had fallen into disrepair so was moved here at Sedge Fen in 1956 and was then restored. It’s now owned by the National Trust. It’s the last surviving wooden windpump on the Fens.

James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.

This cute little girl is my aunt, Audrey Plummer. She always told us she was born in 1912 but her birth was registered in 1911 so I guess she lied!!

Harry Barber and David Bowers, circa 1912.
The Bowers and Barber families were farmers in early Wendling. They lived just west of the company owned town of Wendling. The single board fencing is consistent with the fencing placed along the Southern Pacific Railroad right of way, so I assume this field is on the south side of Mill Creek.
I am not sure what the plant is they are harvesting. It looks like oats to me, but if you can identify it, please comment.
This pub, in Baker Street, became a private residence after the First World War.

Edited Library of Congress photograph of the Imperial German Navy battleship SMS Kaiser c1915. In this image, the Kaiser is firing a salute to the Kaiser. Given what the Kaiser did to Germany, I'm surprised they weren't firing a salute at the Kaiser.
In the early days of logging on the Mohawk, while we have no records of women employed as loggers (lumberjills), it was common for family members, girlfriends, etc, to visit the woods where the men were working and many times posed for pictures.
This particular picture comes from the McCornack collection.
In it we see two well dressed young ladies posing with the falling axes in the undercut. They are standing on springboards, which was a way for loggers to cut the stump above the swell and pitch of the base as well as get their feet out of the entangling underbrush. Leaning against the tree, is a fall saw. This type of saw is commonly called a "misery whip".
George McCornack was a well documented and oft photographed faller at Mabel. In October 1913, he married Rena Riggs. After reviewing several photos containing Rena, I _think_ the girl on the right might be Rena. She would have been 16 in 1912. The other girl I could not find a match for. The clothing the girls are wearing is very similar to uniforms worn by girls basketball teams at Marcola High School and Wendling High School. So this may have been the "play" dress style of the day.
If you can positively identify either girl in the photo, please comment.

This building was demolished in 1969. In 1972 I organised the office Christmas bash at its successor.

Neo-medieval window in the north transept at Salle, celebrating historical personages associated with the church, and executed in a very conscious attempt to mimic the 15th century style of original glass here by Herbert Bryans c1912.

SS Peter & Paul at Salle is church I've known about for years, having read the words of many who have waxed lyrical about this grand medieval edifice standing proud in near splendid isolation. The testimonies invariably praise this church as one of the highlights of Norfolk, if not one of the finest parish churches in the entire country; in my mind it thus had much to live up to now that I was finally to see it for myself.
Salle church lives up to all these superlatives and more, it is a magnificent building, first sight of it being something like finding a cathedral in the middle of a rural field! It is late medieval at its best, all of a piece 15th century architecture with many original furnishings to match. My initial impression of the interior was of a large, almost barn-like space filled with antique furniture, a place where the more one looks the more interest one finds in every corner, this being a church that requires very thorough exploration to see all it has to offer.
I fell in love with this church and could easily have spent much longer here (though thankfully didn't as this would have compromised seeing the other gems our generous hosts also had planned for us for the rest of the day!). Salle is a churchcrawler's dream and shouldn't be missed, it is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.
