Detail of the south aisle east window from c1919 by Shrigley & Hunt of Lancaster.
St Peter's at Dunchurch is an impressive red sandstone building dating largely from the 14th & 15th centuries, but rather restored in the 19th. It's impressive west tower changes colour in it's topmost stage and has a richly detailed parapet (sadly the carvings are worn, as is it's otherwise fine cusped west doorway).
The interior of the building is somewhat dark, due both to the colour of the stonework, and the mostly Edwardian stained glass (it's east and west windows are by Bryans, and often mistaken for Kempe's work). It feels like it has been stripped of much of it's antiquity, and this is attested to by the few fragments of the once fine medieval woodwork, stalls and benches all lost by the end of the Georgian period, with only five architectural panels worked into the more recent furniture in the chancel. otherwise the furnishings are all Victorian. There is an intriguing Baroque tablet in the north aisle with it's central inscription flanked by open marble doors, suggesting the entrance to a tomb.
A further ancient feature removed from the church has survived; the east window's fine 14th century geometric tracery remained in place until the late Victorian restoration when it was replaced with the present design. The old tracery was preserved and is now in the entrance hall of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, where thousands of visitors walk past it each year, though likely very few ever notice it!
This church's tower is one of the most familiar anywhere to me, being a regularly seen landmark throughout my childhood, growing up in nearby Rugby. I even climbed to the top of it in 1992 via the scaffolding it was then shrouded in, whilst getting some experience cleaning the west window.
Four officers of the US Army 547th Engineers Service Battalion -- one of them Byron Bird from Seattle -- and their women. Maybe the other three are wives, but Lucy Phillips (bottom left photo) did not marry Byron until the end of 1919, after they returned to Seattle.
Was it common for American women to join their loved ones in Europe after Germany surrendered in World War One?

Chapelfield Gardens, pictured here c1918, was opened as a public park in 1880 by the mayor, Harry Bullard (of the famous Norwich brewery). The pagoda was erected here at that time, but had actually been built four years earlier by Barnard, Bishop & Barnard of Norwich for the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition after which it seems to have gone on a bit of a world tour, being shown in Paris and Buenos Aires believe it or not!
The pagoda was apparently damaged during the WW2 air raids and, rather than repair this beautiful building, the council decided to rip it down in 1949. It was sold for scrap for £98.

Published by Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd in 1919 and written by E. L. King, this book provides 'a set of accurate illustrations of the general appearance of the ships of the British Navy from which they may be easily recognised and is furnish(ed) in a handy form for reference particulars of their armament' .
I acquired this many years ago at a Jumble Sale (remember those?) in Bristol. I never paid much attention to the pencilled signature of ownership and scribbled notes inside but have recently done some research. It was bought by a Royal Navy cadet, William Ernest Canning Lowndes (1909-1981) in one assumes the year he joined HMS Royal Oak. He retired as a Lieutenant Commander in the mid 1950s.
The Imperial War Museum has his double breasted (by Gieves) Number 5 Dress jacket in their archive. He served on many ships including HMS Belfast from July 1944 until early 1946. His nick name was 'Loopy' for reasons unknown (A Midshipman's War: A Young Man in the Mediterranean Naval War 1941-1943 by Frank Wade)
Loopy Lowndes was born in Bristol and married Agatha A Higham in 1936 and had at least one child.
Just a curiosity and not much to do with photography!

Possibly a Vulcan Foundry 0-6-2 CT ?
East window of the chancel at Gedling, consisting of three lancets and a quatrefoil light above. The glass appears to be a fine late work by Henry Holiday c1919 (or could possibly be by Holiday's follower William Glasby). Thus far I can find no documentary confirmation but the bold style of drawing speaks for itself.
All Hallows at Gedling (immediately east of Nottingham) is a grand 13th/14th century building with a very tall north west steeple.
The interior is spacious and has several features of interest, including a strange 'flattened' effigy of a priest in the chancel, and a fragment of medieval sculpture in the north aisle.
There is some good glass in the east window that appears to be a late work of Henry Holiday, whilst the recent glass at the corresponding end of the church makes a more contemporary statement.
The church is normally open only on Wednesdays.
Lucy Phillips became Lucy Bird in November, which I suspect was still a month or two off. She is, left-to-right, top to bottom: on a railroad bridge, feeding deer, on a stump, fixing her shoe, with a baby (probably my grandmother's older brother Ken Duff) and obviously not amused.

Troops of the US Army 547th Engineers Service Battalion.
These photos seem to be out of order in the album -- perhaps copies were received from a friend later?
Top right and bottom left three show officers of the labor battalion including Byron Bird on horseback. In the bottom right corner and right middle photos, African American enlisted men in the battalion put on a performance.
So who are the men with the instruments? I have no idea, because the 547th is hardly mentioned in history books (even those focused on black men in World War One). Search for official abbreviations like "547 ENGR SVC BN" or "547TH SVC BATTALION" and you'll find records of gravestones, which is about all that's left. I have a secret hope that I'll discover that one of them was later a jazz great.

South chancel window designed by J.Brown for J.Powell's & Sons c1919.
East Bridgeford's church of St Peter was revealed to me after a slog up a hill, looked promising with some lively heads and gargoyles outside.
Not hugely exciting inside, but there are a couple of monuments, an Elizabethan family wall monument and a barely recognisable crusader effigy in the north aisle, and an early 17th century font of a type commonly found in these types (Pevsner calls it the 'Southwell type').
This church is normally kept open.

Photographed in San Francisco near the marina. The Ghirardelli chocolate factory sign is visible in the distance at the extreme left of the picture.
Standing above the quiet township of Carcoar is the former Carcoar railway station on the now-closed Blayney to Demondrille railway line.
The railway line to Carcoar was completed and opened in 1888. The Great Western Railway had reached Blayney 12 years earlier, in 1876, and by 1888 Blayney had developed as an important rail centre while Carcoar’s growth had slowed.
By c1919 the railway yard at Carcoar included an engine dock, loop siding, goods siding and shed, stock siding and a stockyard. Services to Carcoar were suspended in December 1987 but the station building remains a prominent landmark above the historic town.

Bottom right is the Ballard Locks. Bottom middle is probably Byron Bird and Lucy Phillips (soon to be Bird) kissing on the beach (just before they were wed).
I believe the other photos are members of Byron's extended family.
