Stanton Walk on the Woodloes Park estate in Warwick - built and developed throughout the 1960's and 1970's. A large housing estate with a real mixture of tenures - social rented, privately rented, and owner-occupied.
Above is a block of flats (of which there are about 20) some of which are owned by Warwick District Council and other blocks owned by Jephson Housing Association.
Wanstead Flats, the most Southerly part of Epping Forest.
Flickr, it seems the name is not Aldersbook, but Aldersbrook, and that name only applies to the housing estate, not this part of Epping Forest.
The name is taken from Alders Brook, a water course where Alder trees grew. Not from a Book about the trees.
Dug out one antique presser foot and put it on my modern sewing machine (after having unscrewed off the "ankle" part of the snap on feet) and tried on flat felling and it went very well. Good!
4 mm wide. I wish to have wider too but this will work good for thin fabrics.
General how-to: (I used my very simple machine and antique presser foot but yes, the method is pretty much same) moderndomesticpdx.com/flat-felled-seams
i think I like the sinuous river bit. But, as usual, I am not sure!
The Dovey, in an estuarial moment. If you view it large, you may catch the birdies in the shot.

Fairbanks Flats
In the early 1900's - during and after WWI - these apartment buildings were built for African American laborers who were recruited (mostly from the south) to work in factories in the northern industrial towns like Beloit. (Labor was scarce due to demands of WWI.)

Gunfight At The O.K. Corral
The gunfight began in this narrow 18-foot lot between C.S. Fly’s boarding house and City Councilman W.A. Harwood’s home. (The O.K. Corral is in back of and to the right of this scene) The side wall of Harwood’s house was located where the iron fence on the left now stands. The placement of the figures is based on 1881 newspaper accounts of the gunfight. Only a few feet separated the gunfighters.
Chief of Police Virgil Earp had deputized his brothers Morgan and Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday to help him disarm cowboys Tom and Frank McLaury, and Ike and Billy Clanton.
As the 30-second gunfight progressed, the participants scattered. Ike Clanton ran through Fly’s on his way to Allen Street. Both McLaury brothers were shot down on Fremont Street (just on the other side of this white wall). Billy Clanton sat dying, propped against Harwood’s house. Virgil and Morgan Earp were badly wounded, and Doc’s hip was grazed by a bullet. Only Wyatt Earp walked away unscathed.
