Detail of the 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.
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.

SOUTH PARA WEIR – c1919
A weir was constructed on the South Para River to create a recreational lake at Goose Island for boating and swimming. Unfortunately due to poor construction and siting the weir was effective for only a few seasons. Explosives were used to demolish the remnants of the weir in 1933.
The old tower was built by Johnson Railway Signal Co. and opened May 13, 1894. It was located in Somerville on the Boston-Somerville line at the southwest corner of the place where the Mystic Branch crosses the B&A Grand Junction Branch and the Western and Eastern Division main lines. It was a two-story frame tower with a director’s bay.
East Somerville station straddles the tracks in the distance.

Glenboig Union Fireclay Co Ltd., Glenboig Fireclay Works, Glenboig, Lanarkshire
The Glenboig Union Fireclay Co. Ltd was founded by James Dunnachie & partners by the amalgamation of the "Old Works" and the "Star Works" in Glenboig. The company specialised in the production of refractory ceramic goods (e.g. furnace lining bricks and pipework) for the iron and steel industry which was flourishing in the nearby industrial towns. By expansion and take-overs the company went on to operate several other works, viz.: Cumbernauld Fireclay Works & Mine (c. 1882); Gartcosh Works (1890); Castlecary Fireclay Co. Ltd (c1919); Faskine & Palacerigg Bricks & Coal Ltd (c1919); George Turnbull & Co. Ltd - Bonnymuir and Dykehead Works (c1919).

A British Army column crossing a pontoon bridge in India c1919-1920.
The bridge is called the Great Saleh Bridge at maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the Khyber Pass.
Unidentified location, almost certainly in Karachi. I thought it may have been the Sindh Club but I don't think thats correct.

Taken in India around 1919 - 1920. If you look closely it has writing on the front plate by the soldier's elbow.
Not sure what kind of gun it is but it looks about the right size for an 18 pounder.
Can anyone identify the gun type or the uniform of the soldier?

East window c1919 by Pearce & Cutler.
This is Droitwich's most central church but an oddly inconspicuous one for the parish church of a town. The medieval building sits in a rather cramped site, it's south side totally hidden by adjoining buildings and it's tower removed in 1927, when the north aisle was also largely rebuilt owing to subsidence caused by the extraction of salt. The stump of the tower remains on the north side embedded in the aisle, but the west façade with it's three gables compensates and forms an attractive ensemble.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the church open (on a Saturday morning, I believe it's usually locked) and was undisturbed as I explored the delightfully sprawling interior (a short but wide building divided into highly uneven spaces).
The chancel is a rather cramped space whilst the north chapel (formerly the base of the tower) impresses most with it's fine 13th century capitals adorned with faces, unusually grand detailing for a parish church.
John (who was always called Jack) was the son of Theodore and Sabra Huffman, was born at Verona on January 13, 1898. Jack enlisted at Verona on January 27, 1916 just after he turned 18. He served in England and France and lost a leg at the knee November 3, 1917 at the battle of Vimy Ridge.
On December 12, 1919 he married Cassie Thompson. Together they had three daughters - Marjorie (Jim Prentice), Grace (Edward Kindinger) and Joan (John Flieler).
Jack was a charter member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 328 in Northbrook. Jack died March 9, 1961 and is buried at Harlowe United Church cemetery.

Western Star and Roma Advertiser
3 May 1919
The official opening of the new ambulance buildings, quarters and residence took place on Wednesday afternoon, the ceremony being performed by Dr Freshney, of Toowoomba. The buildings have been erected at the corner of Charles and Bowen Streets, the allotment having been purchased some time ago for £200. There was a representative gathering, which included visitors interested in ambulance work from Brisbane, Toowoomba, and Dalby. Prior to the ceremony, the visitors were shown over the buildings, which consist of brick quarters facing Charles-street, and include commodious accommodation for two ambulance cars, stretchers, etc., dispensary room, and committee room; the superintendent's residence, which is a very comfortable and wooden building, facing Bowen-street. The buildings were greatly admired, and the visitors expressed warm congratulations and the rapid progress by the brigade in Roma.

Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive

War memorial window in the north aisle by Burlison & Grylls, c1919.
All Saints church in Kimcote sits in an elevated position by the roadside in the heart of the village. Most of the building is of 13th - 14th century date, the chancel being the earliest part with the nave, north aisle and sturdy west tower the result of slightly later modifications including the addition of the clerestorey (probably 15th century, contemporary with the nave roof within and perhaps the oddly recessed parapet of the tower, though this may also be the result of later rebuilding after the fall of its spire).
Within the church the hand of Victorian restorers is more evident, particularly in the furnishings and glass, though the medieval nave roof is handsome enough and the font is an intriguingly archaic piece of Gothic Survival dating from 1654. The most memorable features here are the windows, there are good windows by Kempe and Burlison & Grylls but best of all is the Arts & Crafts glass by Theodora Salusbury on the south side of the chancel.
Kimcote church is likely to be found locked outside of services but is worth getting inside if possible, especially if like me you admire good glass. Our visit was naturally on a Ride & Stride day / Heritage weekend in September (best day to explore this diocese's churches) though this also coincided with a prayer group meeting in the chancel which placed some limits on photography, but we were grateful to the people involved who were very accommodating in letting us explore and view the glass there.

A time damaged image of an unidentified Paddle Steamer on a river in either 1919 or 1920. The photo is from my Grandfather's photo albums taken whist serving with the British Army in India so it's an assumption that this photo of a steamer was taken in India too.
If anyone can offer any information I would be grateful.
Top left I thought might be my great grandparents, but now I'm thinking it's probably Byron's sister Emma and her husband Harry McKee and first born Leonard.

Prince of Wales Road in Norwich - top c1919, bottom May 2013. I've not got the focal length or angle quite right on this one ... but it will do for now! The 1919 view shows the Electric Theatre cinema which opened in 1912. After refurbishment in 1949, it was renamed the Norvic. It closed in 1959 - apparently the last film shown was Wild In The Country with Elvis Presley.
South aisle 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.

The photo does not show it but this refractory brick is tapered from the face of the brick with the frog to the opposite face. and was presumably used for lining furnaces.

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.
