Detail of the striking Arts & Crafts east window (c1913) at St Giles, Packwood, Warwickshire, representing the Crucified Christ with an Angel of Remembrance holding a book below, engaging the viewer with his gaze.
This is a magnificent example of the work of Warwickshire based artist Richard Stubington, who learnt and later taught stained glass at Birmingham School of Art. H's work remains little known but amongst the best of it's time. His work can also be seen at a couple of other churches nearby.
Tucked away in a quiet corner close to Packwood House, St Giles church is every bit as rewarding., a handsome medieval church with some interesting features and lovely glass.
The outstanding feature of the exterior is the imposing 15th century tower (of a similar design to certain others in the area) which greets the visitor. The rest of the building consists of an aisless medieval nave and chancel with an 18th century north transept in brick, built as a mortuary chapel.
Inside it can take a moment to adjust to the low light level, but the eye is drawn towards the curiously low chancel arch, around which are remains of 15th century painting showing the 'Three Quick & the Dead' (three figures in costly garments encountering three skeletons, now mostly faded, a reminder of Man's mortality then popular in art). The small chancel beyond is a lighter space that still retains a few fragments of ancient glass (though so heavily corroded to be difficult to discern) but it is the stunning east window by Richard Stubington which draws focus here, a dramatic composition of the dead Christ on the Cross with a seated angel below confronting the viewer, a beautiful example of glass of the Arts & Crafts movement (and not the only one in this church either). The north chapel contains another stained glass crucifixion but a much earlier one dating from the 14th century, while the walls here are adorned with some richly ornamented 18th century memorials.
Packwood church is a modest-sized building but one full of interest and happily normally kept open and welcoming to visitors (outside of pandemics of course, but it appears to be open again now).
Part of the outstanding scheme of Arts & Crafts glazing in the Lady Chapel at Gloucester, the largest commission ever undertaken by Christopher Whall between 1899 - c1913 (a final half window was added by Veronica Whall in 1926).
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a separate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.

Looking east along McLaren Wharf from Commercial Road.
The Exchange Hotel opened in 1857. In 1935 the hotel was demolished to allow for the widening of McLaren Wharf. A new hotel was built slightly to the south and was officially known as the New Exchange from 1941 to 1986. It is now known as the Lighthouse Hotel.
George H Read was the owner from 1907-1913.

This is a photo of my mother (the little one) and my aunt sitting in their pram outside Jubilee House in Long Stratton.
Looking east along McLaren Parade from the Exchange Hotel. (More detail is available by clicking on the Tags below).
McLaren Wharf was extended in the 1930s, and in 1935 the hotel was demolished and re-built approximately 20 metres to the south.
In the centre of the picture and near the top can be seen the frame of the Robinson Bridge, which crossed the Company Basin and linked Todd Street to Levi's Wharf.
The buildings across the bridge were later demolished and replaced by wharf sheds, which were in turn demolished in the early 2000's to make way for a future housing development.
The masts in the top right hand corner belong to ships anchored in the New Dock, adjacent the wool stores of Santo Parade. In the 1940's the new dock was closed and filled in, but the wool stores still exists and are in use as at 2019.

In the charming heritage country town of Pomona.
When strolling around Pomona it is interesting to imagine life in the early pioneering days. The railway station was for many years the heart of the town. The North Coast Railway between Yandina and Cooran opened in 1891.
Pomona’s streets include Station Street, Signal Street, Church Street, Rectory Street, Memorial Avenue, Hospital Street, Mountain Street, Mill Street.
There are many fine historical buildings including the Pomona Hotel c1913 and the Majestic Theatre c1921.

Stubington's work remains little known but amongst the best of it's time. His work can also be seen in the east window at Balsall Common, and in the north chapel at nearby Lapworth.

Speedwell was the trade name for Bennett & Wood in Sydney. It was normal for them to clean up and repaint trade ins with Speedwell on the tank instead of the original make....but this bike looks brand new. It is in fact an AKD fitted with JAP twin engine. Nicely equipped with spare belt carrier at rear (standard on AKD's) acetylene lighting set together with curly horn. Note his pennant flag flying from the front guard and also the "Swastika" mascot up on the handlebars....it was considered a good luck emblem back in those days. See other photo for better view of pennant flag.

Pomona, Queensland.
A historic and characterful town in the Noosa Hinterland, at the base of Mount Cooroora, an ancient volcanic plug.
