The flat-roofed 1956 built Grange over Sands signal box on 19th April 2018.
The box was opened in 1956 and is fitted with a 25 lever frame. It works to Ulverston on the west side and Arnside on the east.
My co-worker was helping a friend's child with a project called "Flat Liam." Flat Liam travels around to different places and has his photo taken at different landmarks representing where he is. Once he is finished visiting, he travels on to a new place, eventually arriving back to his original home, with lots of photos and stories about each place. I couldn't help but take a few photos of Liam while he was visiting today. ;-)
Hello December!!!! I find such joy and cheer in photography and especially still life. Maybe it's because the rest of my life is NOT still? Maybe.....
This buildning have been named "Flat iron building", probably due to the fact that Stockholm suffers from some kind of "New York envy."
Silly really, to copy the name of the New York original, quite embarrasing really.
The buildings correct and formal name is "Klassföreståndaren" (The form teacher) which is funny and very clever, and, a bit haughty, but well deserved.
And good thing I did catch up with the girls at the busker fest after work because they had a surprise when they returned back to the car....
I'm wearing my new silver 'grommet' flats from RAID London with 20D black pantyhose and pleated skirt. They feel great and will garner a lot of attention when I wear them in public soon!!💕

A flat cap, or, in Scotland, bunnet is a rounded men's or women's cap with a small stiff brim in front. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton. Less common materials may include leather. Cord flat caps are also worn in various colours. The inside of the cap is usually lined with silk for comfort and warmth.
The style can be traced back to the 14th century in Northern England and parts of Southern Italy, when it was more likely to be called a "bonnet", which term was replaced by "cap" before about 1700, except in Scotland, where it continues to be referred to as a "bunnet". When Irish and English immigrants came to the United States, they brought the flat cap with them.
A 1571 Act of Parliament to stimulate domestic wool consumption and general trade decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and persons of degree, were to wear caps of wool manufacture on force of a fine (3/4d (pence) per day). The Bill was not repealed until 1597, though by this time, the flat cap had become firmly entrenched in English psyche as a recognized mark of a non-noble subject; be it a burgher, a tradesman, or apprentice. The style survives as the Tudor bonnet in some styles of academic dress.
Flat caps were almost universally worn in the 19th century by working class men throughout Britain and Ireland, and versions in finer cloth were also considered to be suitable casual countryside wear for upper-class English men (hence the contemporary alternative name golf cap). Flat caps were worn by fashionable young men in the 1920s.
The stereotype of the flat cap as purely "working class" was never correct. They were frequently worn in the country, but not in town, by middle- and upper-class males for their practicality. Mather says: "A cloth cap is assumed in folk mythology to represent working class, but it also denotes upper class affecting casualness. So it is undoubtedly classless, and there lies its strength. A toff can be a bit of a chap as well without, as it were, losing face." When worn by an upper-class gentleman, it is sometimes referred to as a slummers' cap. The British workman no longer commonly wears a flat cap, so in the twenty-first century, it has gained an increasingly upper-class image. In Britain though the flat cap is frequently worn as part of an "urban" or "street" look favoured by the working classes.
