The single storey warehouse on the left is the Great Western Warehouse of 1863. Originally a tall warehouse of several storeys, it was gutted by fire in 1945 and only the ground floor was salvagable. No. 4 Warehouse (centre) probably dates from the 1940s. Behind it is the roof of Fox's Malthouse of 1888. On the right is part of the Alexandra Warehouse of 1870. 16th April 1991.

This is the iPhone dock I posted a while ago from my iPhone, this time in better quality. It's a simple little tool that not only holds the cable in the proper position, but also routes the cable neatly out the back
Preston Docks as it was and how it should be, the ship Geeststar was a common sight to this inland port, I'm talking a good thirty years ago now, when you could wander the docks and enjoy seeing the different vessels loading and unloading their wares. The ship was one of several vessels that brought bananas over from the Carribean, and obviously Geest was one of the well known importers of bananas. The ship also had accommodation for several passengers.
Now to the film and picture itself, Agfa CT18 was what I was using at the time, I'd love to try Agfa films in my Leicas, sadly they've gone bust, never mind. The transparency hasn't aged well, as they were bound in glass, standard practise at the time, and has suffered quite a lot of fungus, had to nearly airbrush the sky after scanning, it was so badly affected.
When mounting slides you stuck the perforations to the glued inside of the mount, placed it between two clean two inch square glass plates, one was pregla glass that had a slightly mottled surface, which went on the shiny non emulsion side of the transparency, this helped to prevent Newtons rings from forming, rainbow coloured contours like you have on ordnance maps. Then when you were quite happy, wou then sealed the whole lot up with mitered gummed tape called passe par tout, remember Around The World In Forty Days? That's what you did when you were exibiting slides.
The number 9, well if you look from the other direction! This where the number 9 gock used to be when the quays used to be a busy working port. Media city can be seen behind.

Another side shot. Most of the posts are there for added support and don't need to be. To make this set, most of the pieces are from the Lego Star Wars The Force Unleashed set. In the background, you can see the ATST set from the new Clone Wars Lego Star Wars stream.
The iPhone case I'm using is a Griffin hard shell case.
