The hanging baskets in the garden are coming along nicely...as always I expect their timing will be perfect so that they are in full bloom whilst we are on holiday ;-)
Built c. 1853.
"The street on which this building is located developed as the commercial centre of the Village of Thorold with the opening of the first Welland Canal in 1829. This north-south street approximately paralleled the east side of the Canal. Because of the street’s location and orientation to the Canal, the Canal is actually at the rear of the properties that are on the west side of Front Street. This is significant since the street “fronts” the old canals, mills, millraces and other related structures. The NS & T. Railway Co. in the early 1900’s ran on a trestle through the properties at the rear of Front St. South. This “stone store” was an impressive building when it was constructed 150 years ago and to this day it continues to enhance the streetscape of downtown Thorold.
Stone mason and master builder – William Martin was engaged in the construction of many outstanding buildings and it is most likely that he built the stone store between 1853 – 57 on the property owned by William and his two brothers, John and Robert. It is a handsome 2-storey stone building with a gable roof and basement walls of rubble stone.. To the south of the building is an alleyway that once led down to the 2nd Welland Canal and Lock 24 located behind the store. The building displays many of the Italianate-style features popular in commercial buildings of the 1850’s, such as round-headed windows, brackets and columns. This stone building has survived relatively unchanged since photographs taken of it c.1900. The building has a moderately-pitched gable roof with end gables that project above the roof line to form a fire wall. The chimneys, one in each of the gable ends of the roof, are symmetrically located at the apex of the gable. The front facade exhibits the rectangular, cast iron columns made by A. Dobbie of Thorold. One of the striking interior features is the decorative pressed pattern tin ceiling. Modernization has been done in a respectful way during the second half of the 20th century.
The name “The Stone Store” was used because most of the other commercial buildings constructed on Front Street at that time, were built of wood and later brick. One of the first businesses to occupy the commercial space was a drapery store owned by Mrs. Rosetta McClelland. Over the years it has served the community as a grocery store, stationery and book store, TV store and currently as a fine clothing store." - info from Heritage Thorold.
"Thorold is a city in Ontario, Canada, located on the Niagara Escarpment. It is also the seat of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. The Welland Canal passes through the city, featuring lock 7 and the Twin Flight Locks.
The first survey of Thorold, or Township 9 as it was known then, occurred in 1788. The earliest communities in what is now Thorold emerged at Beaverdams, DeCew Falls and St. Johns. In 1846, the community had a population of about 1,000 and there were three churches or chapels and a post office. Various types of tradesmen worked here. Industry included two grist mills, a cement mill, a brewery and three wagon makers. There were seven taverns. Thorold, located on the brow of the Niagara Escarpment, soon became dominant and was incorporated as a village in 1850. Its formation was linked to the creation of the First Welland Canal. The village experienced population growth as the canal became more developed. In 1875, Thorold became a town.
When the Regional Municipality of Niagara was formed in 1970, the Town of Thorold expanded to include the former Thorold Township. In 1975, the town became incorporated as the City of Thorold.
Thorold is also the location of the War of 1812 battle site, Beaverdams, where, on June 25, 1813, Colonel Charles Boerstler and his American troops were defeated by the British regulars and Caughnawaga Mohawks.
The 2021 Canadian census identified Thorold as the eighth-fastest growing municipality in Canada." - info from Wikipedia.
Late June to early July, 2024 I did my 4th major cycling tour. I cycled from Ottawa to London, Ontario on a convoluted route that passed by Niagara Falls. During this journey I cycled 1,876.26 km and took 21,413 photos. As with my other tours a major focus was old architecture.

Once dry and barren, the hillside farms of Taluwa are now green and thriving.
Through training on alternative farming techniques and efficient water use, the DCRL project demonstrated how technical interventions can dismantle gender and caste barriers, fostering equity and leadership opportunities for women and marginalized groups.

One of my first prints in real black-and-white film.
I am absolutely enanamoured with the whole b/w film processing process. It's relaxing and exciting to have to wait to see what I've taken, even though I write everything down and have an idea of what it will look like.
To me it's a lot like when I was kid, waiting for letters from friends, rather than now when I get e-mail instantly.
I don't care who says what about digital vs. film, or whatever. I know that someday I will have a little closet in my house for doing this.
