On the 21st of January, 1905, the worst nightmate of any mill owner came true, as fire ripped through Old Lane Mill, Halifax. It was the first mill fire of the year, but before the end, another three mills in a ten mile radius were badly damaged by fire.
The first mill on the site was recorded in 1816, but this one was built in 1825. Two years later, in 1827, owner Akroyd built the first Jacquard looms in Britain, and the mill was iron-framed and fitted with stone floors – the first in any British mill – to support the machinery.
Today those floors are still there, stripped of machinery, but remants of old looms and chutes are still there.
Apparently the nightwatchman used to fire a blunderbuss each night to signal he was on duty. Thankfully, he is no longer there...
Which is basically a Triumph TR3 engine, with some adjustments to fit the Italian designed (Michelotti) body. One of 70 still remaining.

Steam locomotive No.12..since 1974 it chugs along the tracks between the Barrack, Sixth Infantry Regiment and the Imperial Hotel lobby (yes, the Frank Lloyd Wright building!). That's in Meiji Mura in Aichi-ken, Japan.
Steam Locomotive No.12 was built by Sharp, Stewart & Co. of England and used to run between Tokyo and Yokohama as of 1874.
It was bought by Bisai Railways in 1911 and became the company's No.12 locomotive. It is one of the oldest steam locomotives in Japan.

And..yes..I did ride on that cute train :-)
This is a chocolate cake (from a box) that I cut into a million pieces and glued together with frosting. The red was made with AmeriColor red gel, which worked like magic! Great, deep red color with no nasty taste. The tires are cupcake tops covered in chocolate frosting.
