Lister Park (also known as Manningham Park) is a picturesque public park in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, between Manningham, Heaton and Frizinghall. It has won various national awards. (from Wikipedia)
Some of the nicest photos I have taken of Lister Park in Bradford. I have decided to post them all en bloc and put them in a set.
All taken on my iPhone
Lister rail-truck at Stonehenge Works, on the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway, in the early 1970's. This loco had a JAP petrol engine and at that time was owned by Graham Hall. 1974.
I've been working on a list of the plants I most commonly use/see in my gardens .The list is in alphabetical order . It says whether I have a photo of the plant. (If yes it will be in a link below this text) It also shows whether the plant is suitable for the front,middle/rear of the border,whether it has a long flowering period,whether it can grow in a pond,in shade,in a rockery. Whether it is evergreen and in what season(s) it flowers.This is the first page of 5 ( More to follow) Apologies if there are any errors- this is a work in process!

VALVERDE DE LOS ARROYOS = OCTAVA DEL CORPUS 2012
Los preámbulos del domingo. Diana, ensayo de danzas, preparación de las rosquillas para la rifa, y vestirse
Otro lugar en el que tengo que agradecer a sus habitantes todas las atenciones que han tenido conmigo. (especialmente a José-María)

Lleva la fama Valverde de los Arroyos, además de por los paisajes y sus aspecto serrano peculiar, por las conocidas fiestas de la Octava del Corpus. Se celebran éstas el domingo siguiente a la octava de la festividad del Señor, esto es, diez días justos después, siempre en domingo.
Esta es la fiesta que centra todo el folclore, riquísimo y vario, muy peculiar, que posee este enclave de nuestra sierra. A esta fiesta le dan vida el grupo de danzantes con su botarga. Son ocho en total, y portan una vestimenta muy peculiar, consistente en camisa y pantalón blanco, cuyos bordes se adornan con puntillas y bordados; en el cuello se anudan un largo y coloreado pañuelo de seda; el pantalón se cubre con una falda que llega hasta las rodillas (sayolín) de color rojo con lunares blancos estampados. En la cintura se coloca un gran pañuelo negro sobre el que aparecen bordados, con vivos colores, temas vegetales. El pecho y espalda se cruzan con una ancha banda de seda que se anuda a la altura de la cadera izquierda. Los brazos se anudan también con cintas rojas más estrechas, y en la espalda, pendientes de una cinta transversal, aparecen otras múltiples de pasamanería. Sobre los hombros hay flores. La cabeza se cubre con un enorme gorro, que se adorna con gran cantidad de flores de plástico, presentando en su parte frontal un espejillo redondo. Calzan sus pies con alpargatas anudadas con cinta negra. Les acompaña «el botarga» ataviado con un traje de pana en que alternan los colores marrón, amarillo, rojo y verde. Sobre su espalda, las iniciales A. M., del sastre que lo confeccionó a principios del siglo XX. En la cabeza una gorra compuesta de varios trozos de tela dispuestos radialmente, rematados en una borla roja. Finalmente, forma también parte del grupo el «gaitero». Ataviado con traje de fiesta, de chaqueta y pantalón oscuro, corbata discreta y camisa blanca, sin tocar, cruzando el pecho gruesa correa de la que pende el tambor, y sujetando en su mano derecha el palillo, y en la izquierda la flauta o «gaita», pieza metálica de agujeros hecha con el cañón de una antiquísima escopeta.
La fiesta comienza con una misa, a la que asisten los danzantes, sentados en el presbiterio, y tocados con sus gorros ante el Sacramento que porta el sacerdote, bajo palio, escoltado de los danzantes, el botarga y el resto de los hermanos de la cofradía. En la plaza Mayor se expone el Sacramento sobre una mesa y casa ataviados con grandes colchas de colores, formando el «monumento». Luego suben hasta la era, un alto prado sobre el pueblo, rodeado de las altas montañas antes citadas, y allí danzan ante el Sacramento varias veces, formando el baile de «la Cruz», que se ejecuta al son del tambor, la flauta y las castañuelas que hacen sonar los propios danzantes. Luego se baja a la plaza, y allí se ejecutan otros bailes rituales: «el Verde», «el Cordón», «los Molinos» y «la Perucha», de paloteo y cintas, de gran belleza plástica, acompañadas del monótono y peculiar sonido del músico. Entre una y otra danza se realiza la «Almoneda» de las roscas, que van colocadas en una especie de árbol gigante.
A Valverde de los Arroyos llegaría en los primeros años del XVII. Ya entonces se tenía noticia de los danzantes, aunque sus danzas eran paganas. Fue en 1606 cuando el papa concedía la bula que les permitía bailar cubiertos ante el Santísimo. Así, éstos se incorporaron a la celebración de la Octava del Corpus como manifestación popular de la fiesta.
En esta fiesta valverdeña de la Octava del Corpus, se integraban una serie de representaciones teatrales que corren a cargo de los vecinos del pueblo y cofrades del Santísimo. Se trataba de sencillos «autos sacramentales» o piezas costumbristas en las que se mezclaba un fondo de teología con los afanes diarios del pueblo. Algunas de estas piezas, como el «Papel del Género Humano», «Sainete de Cucharón», «Auto Sacramental de San Miguel» y «La Infancia de Jesús», se han conservado entre los pobladores de Valverde, representándose algunas de ellas, con motivo de la fiesta.

Autor: José-María Moreno García. Fotógrafo humanista y documentalista. Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

The front-engined Lister Costin sport racers competed in international and SCCA competition from the mid-1950s into the early 1960s. During the era, one of the most respected and successful independent manufacturer was Lister of Cambridge, England. The car was commonly known in 1958 as the Lister Knobbly.
For the 1959 season, Brian Lister hired noted aeronautical engineer and aerodynamicist Frank Costin to redesign the Knobbly. His credentials included work for de Havilland Aircraft Company, as well as designing the bodywork for the Lotus Mark VIII, Lotus Eleven, and the Vanwall VW5 - the winner of the very first F1 Constructor's championship. Drawing on his expertise he came up with the design for the Lister Costin. In total, thirteen Lister Costins were built; one Chevrolet V8 powered prototype, and twelve production versions; three with Jaguar power, eight with Chevrolet V8 engines, and one with a Maserati V8.
This car, chassis number BHL 121, is one of the prototypes, and the very first Lister Costin. It was given a Chevrolet V8 engine and clothed in Costin's new, smoother body. The car was delivered to its first owner, gentleman racer John Ewer, in early 1959. Ewer would go on to successfully race BHL 121 at Snetterton, Goodwood, and Silverstone over the next year.

Chillenden is best known for the white clapboard post mill, which is about half a mile above the village.
I came here via Goodnestone, and on the map it looked like an easy journey of a couple of miles. As it turned out the network of narrow lanes made it more difficult, but I knew where the mill was, so made my way there, then down into the village which is stretched along a sunken lane, the church being opposite the village pub.
All Saints is a small church, similar to Harty and Stodmarsh, with a sturdy wooden fram holding the small tower and spire up.
Some nice victorian tiles and ancient glass in the window, but just fragments.
------------------------------------------
Chillenden comes from the Old English ‘denu’ meaning a ‘valley’ combined with a personal name; therefore, ‘Ciolla’s valley’. The Domesday Book records Chillenden as Cilledene.
Chillenden parish church is a Grade: II listed building, dedicated to All Saints. The Normans built the church in the 12th century with additions in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1800, Edward Hasted described the Chillenden church as ‘antient, it is a mean building, very small, having a square tower at the west end, in which there is only one bell. It consists of a body, and one chancel. In the windows are remains of very handsome painted glass. There is a handsome zig-zag moulding, and circular arch over the north door. There is likewise a circular arch, but plainer than the other, over the south door’. The architect Sir George Gilbert Scott sensitively restored the church in 1871.

----------------------------------------==
CHILLENDEN,
WRITTEN in the survey of Domesday, Cilledene, lies the next parish westward from Knolton, taking its name from its cold and low situation. The manors of Knolton and Woodnesborough claim over part of this parish, as does the manor of Adisham over another part of it. A borsholder is appointed for this parish by the justices, at their petty sessions for this division of the lath of St. Augustine.
THE PARISH of Chillenden lies dry and healthy, but it is not very pleasantly situated, though surrounded by other parishes which are remarkably so; it is very small, containing only one hundred and sixty acres, and the whole rents in it amount to little more than 250l. per annum. There are three farms in it, one belonging to Mr. Hammond, and the other two to Sir Brook Bridges, bart. It lies low in a bottom, the high road from Canterbury to Deal leads through the village called Chillenden-street, which consists of twenty two houses; on the south side stands the church. The soil is chalky and poor, and the lands, which are arable, are open and uninclosed. A fair is held here on WhitMonday, for pedlary, &c.
THIS PLACE, at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, was part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is entered in it as follows:
Osbern (son of Letard) holds of the bishop Cilledene. It was taxed at one suling and one yoke and ten acres. The arable land is . . . . In demesne there is nothing now, but nine villeins have there two carucates and an half. In the time of king Edward the Consessor it was worth sixty shillings, and afterwards thirty shillings, now forty shillings. Godwin held it of king Edward, and five other Thanes. Thomas Osbern put three of their lands into one manor.
Four years after the taking of this survey, this estate, on the bishop's disgrace and the consiscation of his estates, came into the hands of the crown.
After which it came into the possession of a family, who took their surname from it, and there is mention made in deeds, which are as antient as the reign of king Henry III. of John de Chillenden, Edward and William de Chillenden, who had an interest in this place; after this name was become extinct here, the Bakers, of Caldham, in Capel, near Folkestone, possessed it, in whom this manor continued till king Henry VI.'s reign, when it passed by sale to Hunt, whose descendants remained entitled to it for two or three descents, when one of them alienated it to Gason, of Apulton, in Ickham. (fn. 1) They bore for their arms, Azure, a fess cotized, ermine, between three goats heads, couped, argent; which coat was granted anno 39 king Henry VIII. (fn. 1) in which name it continued for some time, and till it was at length sold to Hammond, of St. Alban's, in Nonington, in whose descendants it has continued down to William Hammond, esq. of St. Alban's, who is the present owner of this manor.
This estate pays a quit rent to Adisham manor, of which it is held. It has no manerial rights, and it is much doubted, if it had ever any claim, beyond the reputation of a manor.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly relieved are about sixteen, casually six.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Bridge.
The church, which is dedicated to All Saints, seems antient, it is a mean building, very small, having a square tower at the west end, in which there is only one bell. It consists of a body, and one chancel. In the windows are remains of very handsome painted glass. There is a handsome zig-zag moulding, and circular arch over the north door. There is likewise a circular arch, but plainer than the other, over the south door. It has nothing further worth mention in it.
¶This church was part of the possessions of the priory of Ledes, being given to it by William de Northwic, about the latter end of king Henry II.'s reign; (fn. 2) but the prior and convent never obtained the appropriation of it, but contented themselves with a pension of eight shillings yearly from it; in which state it continued till the dissolution of the priory in the 31st year of king Henry VIII's reign, when the advowson, together with the above pension, came with the rest of the possession of the priory, into the hands of the crown, in which the patronage of this church continues at this time. But the annual pension of eight shillings was soon afterwards settled by the king in his 33d year, among other premises, on his new-founded dean and chapter of Rochester, part of whose possessions it still continues.
This rectory is valued in the king's books at five pounds. It is now a discharged living, and is of about the clear yearly value of twenty six pounds. In 1588 it was valued at forty pounds, communicants seventyseven. In 1640 it was valued at the same, communicants seventy.
There are three acres of glebe. The present incumbent has built a tolerable good parsonage-house on the scite of the antient one. There is no land within this parish exempt from the payment of tithe.
