Fragment of stained glass from c16th, found c1912 on the site of Rycote Great House. A couple are married, assisted by who appears to be the Devil. It was believed to be based on the work of Hendrick Golxius, and titled "Marriage For Personal Gain".
St Michael's was built in the c15th as the domestic chapel for Rycote Park manor house for its owner, Sir Richard Quatremaine. Quatremaine died without issue, and ownership transferred to the family of Sibil, Quatremaine's wife. In 1521 the manor house was passed over to Sir John Heron, Treasurer of the Household to both Henrys VII and VIII; it's probably during this time that the manor hourse was demolished and replaced by Rycote Palace. On Heron's death, the land passed over to his son, Giles, who was forced to sell it in 1539 to Sir John Williams (who was closer in favour to Henry). After Williams's death, the land passed into the Norreys family via Williams's son-in-law, Henry Norris, 1st Baron Norreys. On the 2nd Baron's death, the lands and title passed onto his nephew James Bertie, and remained in the family until the early c19th. During this time, the palace was rebuilt after a fire in 1745 and Lancelot Capability Brown (1716-1783) redeveloped the landscape in 1778. However, the manor was past its heyday, the house was sold off in lots early in the 1800s. A manor house (of sorts) remains, with the stables converted in the 1920s.
Perhaps the height of the palace was during the Tudor period, Henry VIII and Catherine Howard spent their honeymoon here; Henry's daughter Elizabeth visited Rycote on her way to her confinement at Woodstock (Williams being instructed to be her guard by Queen Mary I), Elizabeth would visit a further 5 times during her own reign.
Throughout all this time, the chapel remained alongside; slowly changed inside, shifting from Roman Catholic to High Anglican, extended and redecorated, always watching.
"...an old yew in the churchyard, said to have been brought from Palestine and planted in the coronation year of Stephen (1135), has easily outlived both them and their houses"

A vast works and office block on corner site with Well Street. C1912 red brick
with buff terracotta and yellow and white tile dressings in the Birmingham Arts and
Crafts idiom. Large scale detail but a subtley balanced composition. Monumental
arcading to both elevations, on Well Street rising from ground floor and basement,
screened by railings, to attic storey, but on Great Hampton Street, and splayed
corner, starting from first floor. Close set ranges of narrow windows to attic
storey, deep parapet. The bays are articulated in groups of 2 or 4 by shallow
breaks framed by banded piers breaking up through parapet, the broader ones with
semi-circular arched portals on ground floor, and semi-circular arched windows at the
attic level. Chequered tilework to aprons and in parapets with swept up copings.
The slope of Well Street increases monumentality of arcading in perspective.

Opened 10 Oct 1869 as Primitive Methodist chapel, built by Joseph Mellor on part of aboriginal corroboree ground, sold to Orange Lodge 1888, sold to Lutherans & consecrated 5 Sep 1926 as St John Lutheran, extensions (porch & vestry) later. Earliest Lutheran services at Pine Creek Lutheran chapel (built 1872) & Schmerl’s homestead at Leasingham.
“The new Primitive Methodist Chapel in New Auburn is completed . . . It is a very pretty little building, and is the third Methodist chapel in Auburn.” [Kapunda Herald 22 Oct 1869]
“The Primitive Methodist Chapel in New Auburn is just completed. The building appears to be substantially erected and well finished, presenting a pleasing and pretty appearance. The walls are of limestone, with dressed quoins, &c., from the quarry situate about two miles from Auburn. It is built in the Gothic order. . . This makes the fourth place of worship erected in this township, which, I think, will satisfy us for a while.” [Northern Argus 22 Oct 1869]
“Negotiations are in progress between the officers of the local Orange Lodge and the trustees of the Primitive Methodist Chapel with a view to the purchase by the former body of the pretty building in New Auburn. As there are six places of worship here, one will not be missed should its Sabbath services be discontinued.” [Northern Argus 31 Jan 1888]
“A little over a year ago the local lodge known as 'The Drumcalpin' became strong enough to buy the Primitive Chapel in New Auburn and convert it into an Orange Hall.” [Northern Argus 16 Jul 1889]
“For many years past the local members of the Lutheran Church have held services in a room in the old homestead of the Schmerl family at Leasingham. Recently they purchased from the Orange Lodge the building which many years ago was occupied by the Primitive Methodists, and more recently was used as a lodge room by the members of the Orange Lodge. The building has been thoroughly renovated outside and inside.” [Observer 25 Sep 1926]
PINE CREEK LUTHERAN CHAPEL
One acre of Sect 254 Hd Saddleworth purchased Apr 1872, pug & stone church with thatched roof erected, services held by Pastor Johannes M R Ey, closed and land sold Apr 1885, building still visible c1912 beside creek known as German Chapel Creek, pile of stones by 1986.
“Carlsruhe [near Waterloo] released the Pastor from one preaching service a quarter, so he could serve Leasingham and Pine Creek. These two congregations joined for services, once at Schmerls at Leasingham, and the next time at Pine Creek in a little church, which has now fallen into ruins.” [“Early Lutheran congregations in South Australia: memoirs of a pastor's wife” by Anna Victoria Ey]
PINE CREEK BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHAPEL
Opened 16 Oct 1864, also used as school from 1870, closed, sold 1902.
“The settlers of Pine Creek had a great day on Friday September 18th. The neighbourhood has been for a long time in want of a place for religious worship and school. The foundation-stone of a Bible Christian Chapel was laid by Mrs. R. Jasper and Mrs. G. Fetehings. Mr. Hancock, preached an appropriate sermon.” [Register 29 Sep 1863]
“On Sunday the opening services of the Bible Christian Chapel at Pine Creek (almost five miles east of Auburn) took place. Sermons were preached by the Rev. John Hancock, from Kooringa, and Mr. Gurr (Baptist). The day proved wet, and consequently the attendance at the services was limited. On Tuesday following a tea and public meeting took place. The weather proved all that could be desired, and the attendance was numerous. . . proceeds in cash and promises exceeded £50. . . A few individuals set to work; some gave the stone, others land, lime, &c.” [Register 21 Oct 1864]
“The anniversary services of the Pine Creek Bible Christian Chapel were conducted.” [Northern Argus 21 Aug 1888]
“The people in this part of the country can hardly be said to be devoid of religious feelings, as no fewer than 18 places of worship have been erected within a radius of about, seven miles of Auburn. Some of these have long since been closed and put to other uses consequent upon the congregations leaving for other parts, and now that Methodist union has been accomplished it is unnecessary to keep several others open. On Tuesday last Messrs J. W. Castine & Son offered the Higher Skilly, Pine Creek, and Leasingham chapels and furniture by auction. The first named brought £15, and the second £10, but the other was passed in.” [Register 1 Mar 1902]
A commercial traveler from 'Kinghams' of Watford visits Rhoda and Fred Tucker c1912 in Bottom Alley, Holmer Green. Fred was the local Baker, his wife Rhoda ran the shop.
Notes: Water gushes down the 'footpath' outside Harry's first rented shop, at 159 Katoomba street (his second shop was at 179). The women in the doorway may be Isobel Jane, his wife, and Isobel May, his daughter.
Gas lamps fitted with reflectors suspended from the awning illuminate the shop window at night.
Dave Brown's wood and coal depot is up the side passage way, offering luggage and parcel deliveries, he also owned the shop.
The horse and cart seem to be struggling up the hill and may be headed for the 'gutter'.

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.

c1912 postcard view of a group of young men at Spartanburg, Indiana. Some of them have been identified. They were listed from right to left on the back of the postcard, but the following list is from left to right. It is based on the note on the back of the postcard and subsequent review by Jean (Chenoweth) Keesling Lindstaedt, daughter of Glen Chenoweth.

The c1912 date is based on the fact that Glen Chenoweth graduated from Spartanburg High School in 1912. We’re guessing he was about 18 years old when the photograph was taken. He later taught at Spartanburg High School and then became the school’s principal. He and Russell Yeatts were lifelong friends. The VELOX stamp box on the back side of the postcard was used on that company's postcard paper from 1907 to 1917.
The structures in the background appear to be basketball backboards. The scene may have been at the school south of town.

"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" by Chauncey Olcott & George Graff Jr. c1912
There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such pow'r in your smile, Sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When yor sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while And all other times smile,
And now, smile a smile for me.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
For your smile is part Of the love in your heart,
And it makes even sunshine more bright.
Like the linnet's sweet song, Crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter and light.
For the springtime of life is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours Throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get.

It's now a carpet shop, but (strangely) doesn't seem to be Listed.
See where this picture was taken. [?]
Kingsclere, completed in 1912 and designed by Halligan and Wilton, was the first block of high-rise apartments built on this street and among the first in Sydney. They aimed at an exclusive market, with features such as two balconies and two bathrooms for each flat, luxurious wood panelling and
automatic passenger lifts.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Macleay Street became known for its fine apartment buildings designed by prominent architects.
For the theme of Love & Friendship - and now the theme of Pets:
A child's best friend ... is her pet. A bit of a wallow in 'chocolate box' image jigsaws - here are three great examples, two sold by BCD members.

Left: A stunning push-fit jigsaw with letter whimsies, 897pc, now housed in a cardboard Harrods box. The painting is c1912 by Arthur J Elsley, and I think it is called 'Play Nicely' or 'Make Friends'. This was sold on by Anobethio and I would really have liked to have won it.
Centre: This Pears print jigsaw appears on pg58 of Tom Tyler's book and I bought it from the collection of Dave Cooper. It is 600pc, measures 24x17in wooden and the print was issued in the 1909 album. The painting is Naughty Boy or Compulsory Education by Briton Riviere. The cut is extraordinary with both line-cutting and a dazzling selection of shapes.
Right: An Optimago Enigma Gold Box jigsaw of 250pc, measuring 14x11in dating from 1980s - 2005. This range sought to emulate the earlier Victory Gold Box range and had a similar interlocking cutting style and no guide picture on the box.
Briton Rivière RA (1840 – 1920) was a British artist of Huguenot descent. He was largely trained by his father an artist and academic at Cheltenham College and Oxford University. After a short period from 1857 exhibiting history paintings, he soon turned to animal subjects from 1865 and also worked as an illustrator beginning with Punch. He was elected an RA Associate in 1878, a Royal Academician in 1881 and was narrowly defeated in the election for President of the RA in 1896.
The Dolphin Ferry which crossed the River Wensum between Hellesdon and City Station and was run from the Dolphin Inn. In the background is the old Midland & Great Northern Railway bridge. A footbridge was built across the river here c1913 and the ferry was no longer needed.

c1912 postcard view of a group of young men at Spartanburg, Indiana. Some of them have been identified. They were listed from right to left on the back of the postcard, but the following list is from left to right. It is based on the note on the back of the postcard and subsequent review by Jean (Chenoweth) Keesling Lindstaedt, daughter of Glen Chenoweth.

Glen Chenoweth (graduated 1912)
Russell Yeatts (graduated 1909)
The c1912 date is based on the fact that Glen Chenoweth graduated from Spartanburg High School in 1912. We’re guessing he was about 18 years old when the photograph was taken. He later taught at Spartanburg High School and then became the school’s principal. He and Russell Yeatts were lifelong friends. The VELOX stamp box on the back side of the postcard was used on that company's postcard paper from 1907 to 1917.
The structures in the background appear to be basketball backboards. The scene may have been at the school south of town.
The full postcard image can be seen here.

Ruskin, BC Canada
Ruskin Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Stave River in Ruskin, British Columbia, Canada. The dam was completed in 1930 for the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation. The dam created Hayward Lake, which supplies water to a 105 MW powerhouse and flooded the Stave's former lower canyon, which ended in a small waterfall approximately where the dam is today.
Ruskin Dam was constructed along with the Western Canada Power Company's hydroelectric development of the Stave Valley. Stave Falls Dam was completed in 1912 and Alouette Dam, the third dam in the system, in 1928. Construction on Ruskin Dam, about 3 mi downstream of Stave Falls began in 1929 by the British Columbia Electric Railway who had previously bought Western Canada Power in 1921.
In November 1930, the dam was inaugurated and local businessmen and politicians celebrated by dining in its powerhouse. Only two generators were operational at first and the third was added in 1950. The first superintendent of Stave Falls Dam was the namesake for Hayward Lake. In 1961, when the provincial government took over the BC Electric Company, the dam became the property of BC Hydro, a Crown corporation.
