Lawkholme Crescent / Cooke Lane, 1968. Demolition underway for new town centre redevelopment.
From the personal collection of Allan Smith. Allan and his father Alex had the foresight to take photographs at various points through Keighley's history. They were generously shared with the Keighley and District Local History Society, members of which helped identify some of the photographs' content.
Cooke, always an industrious mind, has been making plans for a concept for the future of warships. The lack of any efficient propulsion mechanism, however, makes this a very sluggish vessel, even on paper, as the rearward screw would have to be manually powered by a hand crank. However, as harbour defence, perhaps it could work?
Critics are likely to say that a vessel built of iron would never float, and that the singly heavy gun is too inflexible, but perhaps time will prove them wrong?
To put traveling on the Beartooth highway into words is difficult for me but I will give it a try anyway. Honestly I think it's something every single person should do at least once in their life. The views are simply beyond imagination! The higher you travel the better it gets. If you can drive this highway, DO IT. That's the best I can do :)
Until 1882, the town and the land around it were within the Crow Reservation. Following numerous skirmishes between the Crow and gold miners the reservation boundry was moved east. Prospectors often accompanied soldiers through Indian lands looking for gold. Gold was found in the early 1870's. The area became known as the New World Mining district. The town was known as Shoo-fly until 1880 when it became known as Cooke City, MT named after a mining investor named Jay Cooke Jr. Cooke promised to use his considerable influence to bring the railroad through the top of Yellowstone Park from Gardiner. This single move would have made the mining much more profitable in the Cooke area. Congress soon put an end to the possibility and unfortunately, Cooke ran into financial difficulty and lost his bonded mining claims.

These are photos I took in Cooke City, Montana where we stayed for one night while on vacation. We had a beautiful view of the mountains.

It was 90 degrees in Minneapolis today - The Saint Louis River Valley was 71 degrees when I arrived at 4:30pm and 61 when I left 30 minutes after sunset.
Captured with an RF remote.
As a side note: Wood ticks are out there in high numbers this year due to the mild winter. Since I began treating my boots and clothing with Pertemthrin a few weeks ago I have not found a single tick on my skin or clothing.

Southern Pacific 315, an 1892 Cooke product.
I'm not sure the SP ever owned this engine.
