From Wikipedia:
The original College was badly damaged in the Great Fire of London. In 1886 Sion College was moved to new buildings at 56 Victoria Embankment, between Carmelite Street and John Carpenter Street. It became principally known for its theological library which served as a lending library to members of the college, and was accessible to the public.
In 1996, the college disposed of its large Victorian premises on the banks of the River Thames. The building has been converted into offices. The library was closed June 1996, with the manuscripts, pamphlets, and pre-1850 printed books going to Lambeth Palace Library, and newer books to The Maughan Library, King's College London. Its activities now take place in a variety of locations.

About the statue:
Taxi! is the title of J. Seward Johnson Jr's unusual bronze statue, which freeze-frames a city worker, presumably homeward bound after a day at the office. Taxi! was in fact sculpted in 1983, originally standing on Park Avenue and 47th Street in New York.
Like many of Johnson's sculptures, this one was originally painted all over, making him eerily realistic — and likely spooking a number of New York cabbies. In fact, in his New York Times obituary, it's claimed that firefighters tried to 'rescue' another of Johnson's statues following the 9/11 attacks, believing it to be a real man.

So, I went back to the bank today...
I actually asked if I could photograph in the branch.
She was very nice and gently informed me that it's against policy.
They get pretty busy in there...

The Redding House is a large double-pen log structure with an open breezeway between the pens. There are stone chimneys on either end of the house. The structure is in excellent condition and has been fully restored by the owner. This was a working farm operated by the Redding family during the war. In addition to the house, there would have been stables, cribs, and other outbuildings. While there is no record of camps, there could have been short-term Confederate camps in the area.
This site is an example of what the women of the Confederacy did during the war. With most of the men away in the army, the females of the County were responsible for holding things together. They managed the farms, and, with the assistance of their children and enslaved Africans (if they owned any), they not only produced food for themselves, but also grew a surplus for sale to the army. Some women worked under government contract during the war making uniforms. The state quartermaster office employed male tailors to cut uniforms from patterns. The cut uniforms, thread, buttons, and other accessories were then sent to women for sewing. The women supported the Confederate cause in numerous other ways.
Each community had a Soldiers Relief Society that was made up of local women and girls. They met to make quilts and knit socks and mittens for the soldiers; they also made uniforms and rolled bandages. These patriotic women welcomed the opportunity to thank men for their military service through gifts and goods provided by local Soldiers Relief Societies. Women made or collected socks, shirts, pants, and blankets for soldiers. Some groups sent goods to local military units, while others forwarded packages to the front with instructions to distribute them as needed. In addition, they frequently sent packages of food for the military camps. Relief societies also sent reading material, Bibles, and religious pamphlets to the men in the field.
Overcrowded camps and unsanitary conditions killed thousands of Georgia Confederate soldiers. In addition, surgeons treated soldiers under conditions that commonly led to deadly infections. More Civil War soldiers died from illness than from battle wounds. The Confederacy established a hospital complex at Ringgold, Georgia. Because of a shortage of male nurses, women stepped in to care for the sick and wounded. Some of the young women of Dade County volunteered for this duty. At first, the women mainly brought food to the patients and wrote and read their letters. Gradually, however, women began to take a more active role by assisting surgeons and changing dressings. After the battle of Chickamauga, some of the less seriously wounded were brought to private homes in Dade County for nursing and convalescence.
In this part of Dade County, the Soldiers Relief Society activities were directed by a young woman named Manerva Redding and her mother. The other women brought the articles they had made to the Redding house and Manerva and her mother delivered them to the Confederate camps.
The above information was found on a historical marker located in front of the house which was placed there by the Chickamauga Campaign Heritage Trail and State of Dade Camp 707, Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Reading some pamphlet while enjoying a coffee to go sitting at a shop window in the "new old town". Welcome in 2021. First roll for me with this Smena Symbol which looked all right from outside. The amound of flare and blur on many pictures made me look closer... oh boy, the lens' back element is covered with grime (and possibly fungus) on both side. Poor thing will need to be opened up. Otherwise, well, it sure is very basic, but it does the job.
LOMO Smena Symbol with its T43 4/40 lens, Agfa APX 100 in Rodinal 1+50 for 13min @ 21°C and digitalized using kit zoom and extension tubes.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)

Handmade Nautical Chart Notebooks - I've collected LOTS of nautical charts over the years - its seems like as soon as one of my chart using scientist or sailor friends heard I was re-using them to make notebooks and journals, more and more found their way to me! I made some cute little sets of three books - these were also featured on the etsy blog as part of a post about packaging!

Church of St Matthew, Pentrich Derbyshire sited near a Saxon cross. However no church is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Survey but by 1154 -9 a charter confirmed the gift of a church here to the canons of Darley Abbey about the time the tower was added. Of this 12c Norman church or one which shortly after replaced it, the 5 arcades separating the aisles from the nave, parts of the west wall and south aisle and lower part of the tower remain.
In the 14c the chancel and aisles were rebuilt using some old material, and the tower heightened later in the century.
c1430 a new pointed chancel arch was built, retaining the earlier capitals and piers and a clerestory was added. The tracery of the east window suggests a date of 1420–50.
The font's Norman bowl survives (not without danger) , it now stands on a pedestal dated 1662. A Mr Cox writing in 1879, said that it was removed from church for several centuries, during which time it was used for salting beef. When returned it was much restored , so much so Pevsner was undecided it was indeed Norman.
On the exterior of the south chancel wall, near the priest's doorway, is the remains of a scratch dial www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/769J19
There are 5 bells, two of which are ancient ; the others are dated 1715 and 1869
in 1859 it was plainly but carefully restored, with new pews and roofs, funded by lord of the manor & chief landowner , the Duke of Devonshire
The village gave its name to the Pentrich Rising which started on the night of 9/10 June 1817. While much of the planning took place here, two of the three ringleaders were from South Wingfield and the other from Sutton in Ashfield; the 'revolution' itself started from Hunt's Barn in South Wingfield, and the only person killed was a servant in Wingfield Park.
The lightly armed force armed with pikes, scythes and a few guns, which had been hidden in a quarry in Wingfield Park, marched towards Nottingham expecting to be part of a national uprising to overthrow the government - the main reasons being anger and despair at the lack of work, lack of food and the apparent indifference of the authorities.
A gathering of 200 - 300 men (stockingers, quarrymen and iron workers etc), were led by Jeremiah Brandreth, an unemployed stockinger, who is said to have been the victim of a spy in the pay of the Government, Plundering a few farmhouses on the way , they had a set of demands, including the wiping out of the National Debt !
The uprising was quashed soon after it began and a sign on the church wall says "The curate hid rebels here from the goverment troops." www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aQ5CwM - Nearly 50 of the men were tried by 4 judges at Derby lasting 10 days. A few were pardoned, some were transported - Three men were hanged including Brandreth.
The poet Shelley wrote a pamphlet in 1817 entitled "Pity the plumage, but forget the dying bird" contrasting their fate and the public mourning at the time for the heir to the throne Princess Charlotte who had died in childbirth a day earlier.
Charles Lamb also joined in writing "The Three Graves" (1820)
