I was going to upload this last week but felt my reasons for doing so could be wrong. This week I wish I had uploaded it because the memories stirred are still relevant imho.
This is a factory a five minute walk from my present home and was a five minute walk from where I lived as a child too.
In 1966 the year I became 15 years old my dad died aged 49 years at home of bowel cancer August bank holiday weekend on the Saturday. I had left school the previous day on the Friday with no qualifications because it was simply a secondary modern school for girls. I started work at this factory the Tuesday following Bank Holiday Monday and the Friday after I had left school.
I was allowed a day off work for my dad’s funeral the following Thursday though.
I started a 40 hour shift and was paid £4 10 shillings and my mam had the £4 and I the ten shillings and had buy all my own clothes by saving up for them. About 2-3 weeks at most at this factory the manager of my floor came to reach over to show me how to hold the shirt I was putting in labels correctly. He had the nerve to reach inside my clothing and fondle my breast. I told him to f*ck off and keep his dirty hands to himself.
I got sacked on the spot.
No worries in those days and I was employed at another factory involving a short bus ride the following week….we weren’t so
‘ precious’ back then and made of pretty stern stuff possibly.
I still remember my wonderful dad who had taken me to see my cousin Barry who had a dark room and dad promised to buy me an SLR camera like Barry’s…I hope he knows I got a camera in my early twenties and although didn’t do well with film I did love and still do my hobby of photography. I adored my dad and he me - and only I was allowed to administer the poor pain killers he could get from the chemist till my mums heart broken plea to our Gp made him break confidentiality and came to help my dad out of the world within a fortnight ( he was no Harold Shipman) and was heartbroken himself at having turned down my mams pleas for him to come earlier to see my dad who was suffering untold agony and just taking over the counter stuff from Boots the chemist. He was terrified of hospitals and scared he had cancer.
Every August Bank Holiday I remember it all but he would have been so proud I made it even this far…..this is a tribute to my dad
Charles Oliver Ralph Crane….the best dad in the world !

The sign reads: ‘Ray Chandler Chemist. DeWitt’s Otis Tonic Tablets.’ Very faintly below the word ‘tablets’ you can just about make out ‘Blood & Nerves’. And in white paint at the top, below the name of Ray Chandler, you can see a second name: C. Phillips. The graffiti covers an old Pacific film ghost sign.
E.C. De Witt was an American manufacturing chemist of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. His products were evidently available in Australia, and the company had an address in St Kilda. Several advertisements for DeWitt’s products appeared in newspapers in the 1920s.
Tonic tablets were a ‘special preparation’ supposed to make your nerves stronger and your blood richer. In this fading ad, the words ‘Blood & Nerves’ are faintly visible below ‘Tonic Tablets’ and above the graffiti.
before refuse collection became the norm, people who lived around here, and this goes for folks eveywhere else in the country too, picked a spot not to far from their homes to deposit all the stuff that couldn't be burned or maybe fed to chickens and pigs...living on the edge of a large piece of common land i occasionally come across such dumps especially when the rabbits have been very active as they tend to dig stuff up in their burrowing...came across one yesterday...bottles, bits of broken china, batteries and an old washing machine pump were among the stuff i found...this old bottle interested me...
Blists Hill is a Victorian museum town in England. It has many shops where the museum staff dress in period costume.

They don't allow tripods in the labs so I ended up making most of my images with the iPhone on this visit.
This image was taken at Beamish open air museum in the new chemist and photography shop using a gopro 3+.

Jeff and I decided even though the Help-portrait thing fell through, we should still get together and shoot at least. After bouncing a few ideas around we decided to do a mad scientist (or not so mad) in the chem labs way up in NSC. This is pretty sick Bigger and Blacker
The setup is pretty ridonkulous, so i'll include the setup shot in the comments

Main Street, Cobargo.
With a population of 776 Cobargo is located 386 kilometres south of Sydney on the Princess Highway.
A huge draw card to the village is its street scene which features turn of the century buildings.
In the 1860's Cobargo was known as 'The Junction' due to its location at the junction of Narira and Bredbatoura Creeks.
By 1871 a school had opened in addition to a post office, hotel, church and blacksmith shop.
In 1901 a butter factory was established and maintained production until 1980 when operations ceased.
Sadly though in the bushfires of 2019/20 parts of the main street were destroyed by the ravages of fire.
Whilst the fires destroyed building in the village it failed to destroy the spirit of Cobago and today it is very much open for business.
