First Essex Dennis Dart / Plaxton R719 DJN is seen laying over in the centre of Clacton on a quiet Sunday afternoon in January 2015. This is a very early example of the Pointer 2 style of bodywork which is now deemed non-DDA and will be one of many similar vehicles being withdrawn in 2015.
Framed by two mature trees, First Potteries 60074, passes through Hartshill close to where I live. 60074 (V832GBF) was one of 3 Scanias with Wright Axcess Floline bodies, delivered new to First PMT ten years ago. This bus met with an unfortunate accident in its first year and was returned to Wrights for repair. After a few years, the bus moved to First Manchester, and for a short period, First Edinburgh, before returning home in August 2007. Upon return, 60074 received "unilink" route branding for service 25 (Hanley - Keele). Although on service 25 when I took this photo on 9 August, the branding has now been removed.

Clarksville was incorporated in 1784 and by the early eighteenth century was a village of forty families. Dr. Gideon Blackburn, an itinerate Presbyterian minister, preached outdoors in a place south of Clarksville called Tompkins Grove. He organized First Presbyterian Church on May 25, 1822. The first congregation of fourteen initially worshipped in private homes and later in the new brick Court House on the downtown square. The Court House served as the meeting place for the church for almost 20 years. By 1835 the congregation had outgrown that venue, and worshippers wanted their own church building. They raised $2,300, and Lucinda Elder donated land at the present site of Third and Main Streets. In 1840 the first church building opened and, by 1844, the membership had reached 120.
As the congregation continued to grow it became obvious a new larger structure was needed. Under the direction of Dr. J.B. Luton, minister from 1872-1897, the old walls were removed to make way for a neo-gothic building of pressed brick and stone. The new church housed a sanctuary with stained glass windows which included a beautiful rose window, the pews, pulpit, communion table and chandeliers, all featuring Christian symbols. Below the sanctuary was a lecture hall. In 1876 the cornerstone was laid, and two years later the building was completed for $43,285.15.
First Presbyterian was part of the Southwestern Presbyterian University until that school moved to Memphis in 1925. The University provided ministers when the regular pastors were absent. Ministerial students from the University often taught Sunday school. The church benefited from this rich intellectual connection.
By 1950 once again First Presbyterian needed to expand and included construction of the Education Building and the Chapel on the west side of the 1878 sanctuary. During the 1960's, rooms were added to the north end of the education building, and the sanctuary underwent a significant renovation including air conditioning. Additionally, the kitchen was remodeled and the Memorial Garden created.
Reverend George Gracey became the pastor in 1974 and served First Presbyterian for over 30 years. With much admiration and respect, the congregation bestowed the honor of Pastor Emeritus on Reverend Gracey in 2009, the only time in its history. Beginning in 1990, the congregation began a capital campaign to address not only church needs but important community needs as well. While the extensive renovations to the church were being completed the church met at the American Legion Building. By June of 1992 the congregation returned to the beautiful sanctuary. In 1993 the congregation voted to purchase the old Clarksville City Street Department at 215 Foster Street, near the church. In 1996 the church voted to use this location to build the Activities and Outreach Center. The AOC has a basketball court, Sunday school rooms, a Boy Scout meeting room, and a kitchen and dining area. It houses Loaves and Fishes, which today serves over 50,000 meals annually.
After organizing a capital campaign, the church purchased a new organ in 2006. The church also raised enough funds to build a cabin at Camp NaCoMe, the Middle Presbytery's church camp, where our children, youth, and adults participate in various camps throughout the year. Dr. David Forney served as pastor of First Presbyterian Church from August 2007through August 2010. Rev. Mary Margaret Flannagan served as associate pastor from May 2008 through May 2010. Rev. Dr. David Handley (Dave) is currently serving as the interim pastor. Our mission is to invite all to join us on the journey of discipleship, with Christ as our Savior and Guide; to grow in knowing God's love, and share it with each other, our community, and the world

Always loved astrophotography and I really wanted to try it out myself.
Not really happy with my first result but decided to upload it anyways. Hopefully practice makes perfect!

I have not been feeling too well lately. It would seem that I have developed a minor peanut-allergy and it has affected me in several (painful) ways.
Anyway, I'm on the mend now thanks to some super-size antihystamines, so I've finally been able to get out and do some photography.
An old subject I'm afraid, but at least it's a new(ish) view of my favourite Swansea architecture!
