Weird, beaked roach-creatures with hooks for hands, Hook Horrors are much more intelligent than they seem.
Sketches and plans of a New Town in Hook, Hampshire, which was never completed. Taken from the JR James Slide Collection.
Small trailer space makes some shots hard to get. This bad picture is meant to illustrate clothes hooks above the bed, end structure of curtains, and the bolt-throughs for the exterior handle near front door.

Dan busy hooking on Foremarke Hall to a toad brake van at Cheltenham Race Course. He managed it pretty easily. The next round trip it took three people to finally get the vacuum pipes connected.
St Peter's church in Hook Norton is a fine medieval building, Norman in origin (traces remain visible in the chancel) but in appearance belonging mostly to the later Middle Ages with a spacious late 14th century nave and a stately pinnacled Perpendicular west tower from c1500.
The interior is flooded with light, thanks to minimal use of stained glass and white-rendered walls, though we are reminded how different the original effect would have been by the fragmentary 15th century mural over the chancel arch where a pair of angels and male saints (very rustic work) can be seen against a red ground, no doubt originally supporting figures formerly flanking the carved crucifixion group of of the lost rood screen.
The stained glass in the east window is Victorian and nothing special, but that in the south aisle is a far more inspiring piece, a late work by the studio of Morris & Co serving as a WWI memorial.
The most important artefact in the church however is the 11th century font, a cylindrical drum carved with figures in relief, coarse in quality but fascinating in subject, with a group of Adam & Eve with the Tree of Knowledge, followed by several rather pagan-looking figures from the zodiac.
Looking east down the nave & north aisle rebuilt in 14c . The nave was heightened in 15c with clerestory windows and a five-light window over a new chancel arch. The doorway to the now lost rood loft can be seen behind the pulpit. The south arcades and aisle are late 12c. The north arcades are c1300
The chancel survives from the earlier church thought to have been built in the 1070s by Robert d'Oilly in cruciform design. - Church of St Peter, Hook Norton Oxfordshire
This lone hook sits attached to the rear wall of the Stewart Livery Stable (1909) in Inglewood, Calgary. An amazing building!!
Here's some history on it:
This rare example of an early Calgary livery barn was built in 1909 for James A. Stewart, one of the proprietors of the Grand Union Livery in downtown Calgary. Livery stables rented horses adn vehicles, and provided a place for people from out of town to shelter their horses while in the city. A local contractor, R.A. Brocklebank, constructed the two storey building according to up-to-date ideas in barn design. The gambrel roof allowed for maximum storage space for feed and equipment, and the timber frame construction followed the trend away from heavy timbert to standard dimensional lumber.
By 1915, the barn had become a feed and sale barn. As automobiles replaced horses, livery barns such as this became obsolete. From 1925 until the early 1940s, and independent mail contracting company which delivered and picked up the mail for the Post Office, used the barn as a garage for their fleet of trucks. Since 1952, the Stewart Livery Stable has been used for storage.
We were given a phone number for a local mobile home park when we asked at a service station about local RV parks. They only had a few RV spots but the owner drove over to where we were to lead us back to a spot and then only charged us $15 for one night with full hookups. That's half what we usually pay so we were happy. GoPro still shot.
Had no new pictures to process so got around to some old ones. This is a HDR from a while back I just never really worked on it. Think it's ok for a HDR considering I usually try to keep it as minimal as possible.
Bristol VRT / ECW. Southern Vectis sold their first VR numbered 671 (UDL671S) to Hants & Dorset and the number was reused the following year with YDL671T. After island use it came to Hampshire based Newnham Coaches of Hook, a firm still ferrying kids on local school contracts. YDL671T is seen at the Alton Bus Rally in July 2003.
