My little brother is remodeling the house we grew up in as kids. This fuse box is definitely not up to today’s code. Every corner turned holds another surprise.

A damp, cold morning at Horton Road level crossing in Gloucester on 20th February 1977, as Class 52 'Western' No. 1010 'Western Campaigner' passes with the RPPR 'Western Requiem', 1Z08 0820 London Paddington - Cardiff Central (and various branches) charter. I recall a shout from the train regarding the whereabouts of classmate No. 1023 'Western Fusilier', which were not understood at the time. It turned out that 'Campaigner' has been suffering with an engine defect from soon after departing Paddington, and as the remaining 'Western's' were due to be withdrawn in six days time, 'Fusebox', as 1023 was affectionately known, was on standby. A Class 37 took over the train at Cardiff, and 1023 'Western Fusilier' finally caught up with the charter at Pontypridd, and saw it home, no doubt to the relief of all on board and the organisers! During the day the charter was booked to visit the valley lines to Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved

The Wardle Engineering Co of Trafford, were a Manchester-based company who had since the early 1900s produced industrial and domestic lighting products.
Developments in discharge lighting had seen the introduction of monochromatic yellow sodium street lighting before WW2. The first street installation was from GEC and installed in London during 1932.
In a commercial environment, low pressure sodium lamps would become a major competitor to tungsten and mercury vapour lamps that were popular at the time. This was because sodium as light source was far more economical and efficient to operate.
Realising the marketing potential for sodium street lighting, Wardle produced a range of sodium lanterns for the post-war market. Amongst them was a small series of open-sodium lanterns named 'Solars', designed to burn sodium lamps in a horizontal attitude.
The Wardle Company did not manufacture sodium lamps. These were produced by major companies such as GEC, Siemens, BTH, etc.
In the pre and post-war eras, open lamped street lights were a common sight. Wardle's 'Solar' open-sodium lanterns catered for 45w, 60w and 140w sodium lamps. Of these, 45W and 60w lamps were designed for side street & rural lighting, while the larger 140w lamps were intended for main road use.
Many British towns, particularly those in the North West of the Country used Wardle's products. However, the longest serving open-sodiums were those installed in Rochdale during the 1950s. Rochdale became the last place in Britain where you could witness open-sodium street lighting in general use. The last example was taken down in 2014.
Happily, I did save a few examples from Rochdale before that last of them had gone. These have since passed onto collectors, but I retained one for restoration.
Coming straight from service, the Solars were in an appalling state of repair after 60+ years of constant use. The example I retained has been rebuilt back to its original condition and is operational.
Originally mounted onto a concrete column when in public use, the Solar is currently displayed on an original Wardle made swanneck and fusebox assembly that dates from the same era.

Was haben wir für ein Glück gehabt, dass es 89/90 ein Zeitfenster für die friedliche Wiedervereinigung gab und die Russen anschließend abzogen. Schön, dass man jetzt z.B. in diesem früheren Flugplatz nach Fotomotiven stöbern kann.
How lucky we were that there was a window of opportunity for peaceful reunification in 89/90 and that the Russians subsequently left. It's nice that you can now browse for photo motifs in this former airfield, for example.
Last photo from Dead Horse Point (for today, anyway), with the sun going down for the day and the storms clearing out.
It's been an especially fine day. We took a lot of photos, now it's time to set up the tent and crash to get ready for Day 11.
___________________________________________________________________
The thunderstorms had been following us all day, we got out to Dead Horse Point just in time for the boomers to start. At about the same time, the sun dropped just below the cloud layer and the lighting was intense.
There were a few other fools out there besides us, and some of them actually thought it was funny when our hair started standing straight up. One guy said something about being a human lightning rod, and when the rest of us beat it for cover under the metal roof, he was still out there on the point.
Dumb as it was, I had to keep venturing out from under the cover because the light was un-freakin-believable as the storms swept through. Every time lightning would strike down below, I could feel it in my scalp before I heard it, a very weird sensation. When they were mostly overhead, there was a continuous buzzing like an old-fashioned alarm clock going off, it was the electrical charge finding ground via the metal roof right over our heads.
We shouldn't have stayed out there at all. I've seen lightning do some freaky things, like going to ground (sea, actually) through a hydrophone staff and blowing the hydrophone apart but leaving everything else untouched. Or taking multiple paths through a piece of instrumentation, leaving fused metal and components in it's wake. Or striking a dead tree, finding ground through our electric fence (and the fusebox in the house), and leaving a charge in the punky tree that left it glowing blue for days afterward.
It was dumb to stay out there.
But we got the photos.
With power on for the climb to Treverran the ex-LMR class 50 charges past 'Fusebox' waiting on loaded clay hoods for Carne Point in the down loop and the St. Ivel creamery. Like 'Fusilier alongside, the Hoover sports its fleet number in the now redundant headcode box and leads the Paddington - Penzance down 'Cornish Riviera', next stop Par.

Built between 1898 and 1930 as a sanatorium for lung diseases, Beelitz-Heilstätten was one of the largest hospitals in and around Berlin. It served as a field hospital in the two world wars and was later the Soviets' major military hospital in East Germany. Abandoned in 1994 with the Russian withdrawal, most buildings have slowly fallen into ruins since. What a shame.

The Viceregal Lodge, Obervatory Hill, Shimla, India, by Henry Irwin. Completed 1888; tower height increased later by Lord Curzon. Local grey sandstone and light blue limestone, with iron girders, beams, and trusses.
Built on a high 331-acre site, levelled for the purpose, this mock-Tudor or baronial-style building is visible from far down the hillside, and was intended as a proud symbol of Empire. Over the portico at the main entrance is a coat of arms with inscriptions above it naming the architect (Irwin), the executive and assistant engineers (F. B. Hebbert and others) and the Earl of Dufferin as the current Viceroy. Dufferin was the first to occupy the new Lodge. The columned arches along the façade are echoed in the arches of alternating widths supporting the verandas. Just visible to the left of the main entrance, on the first floor, is one of the unobtrusive external iron spiral staircases provided for the lowliest menial staff, the bathroom sweepers.
Inside, the main hall is panelled in teak. The unicorn originally carved over the impressive main fireplace has since been replaced by the Indian wheel of progress. The double-galleried corridor off to the left is lit by mullioned windows and a glass ceiling, and leads to the ballroom, now the library of the Institute of Advanced Studies. On the ground floor were also the dining hall, lounge and drawing room. On the upper floors were the Viceroy's office and rooms. To the right of the main hall is a splendid three-storey high teak staircase, the kind of feature, no doubt, that earned Irwin his eulogy in the Madras Mail, to the effect that his genius was displayed in his interiors. In the morning room and visitors' lounge on this side, finishing touches like a walnut ceiling with a Kashmiri design, lavish wall-coverings (some of which remain more or less intact), an original chandelier and so on, can still be seen. Maple & Co, London, were the western suppliers. A large picture of one of the Vicereines, Lady Elgin, hangs over the fireplace of the visitors' lounge.
For its day, the Lodge had state-of-the-art technology. It had its own steam generator, and was the first building in Shimla to employ electric lighting. Indeed, Lady Dufferin, the first Vicereine in residence, is said to have first used an electric light switch here. The original light panel is still in place (with an added fusebox). The Lodge also had running hot and cold water, together with a sophisticated system for collecting and storing bath and rainwater, including two tanks under the front lawn.
Outside in the landscaped grounds stands a tall tulip tree, a rarity in an area dominated by pines and deodars. It was planted during the stay of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Viceroy who replaced Dufferin in 1888.
90% of the time I like to shoot on location, but Josh had the Gray studio checked out for the rest of the night so we thought we might as well have some fun with it.

P.S. that thing on the floor is a turtle, it's a rolling fusebox with 16 plugs in it, and rolls at the speed of a turtle... so awesome.
