In 1906 telephony was still in many ways in its infancy - the final takeover of the National Telephone Company by the Post Office was still a few years away and telephones were mostly for business, residential numbers being rare. This page (C - I) has some more old established Rochdale companies, many of which survived for me to remember them in the 1960s. James Duckworth's - known locally as 'Jimmy Ducks' - were a grocery chain that latterley had branches over a swathe of Lancashire - their HQ is shown as well as Mr James and Mr James Jnr's home numbers. It is a bit like finding Lord Sainsbury's home number in the directory! One company name that is still going is that of Holyroyd, J, Perseverance - Holroyds were to merge with Renolds gears in 1964 but the name still survives in the world of transmissions. A name that has vanished but that a fragment survives is the Ellenroad Spinning Company - the mighty mill engine that powered the works in Newhey has survived in preservation.
'This roadtrip is going to be great!', they had said.
Well, here I was, driving down a seemingly endless road in Kansas, and had been doing so for over two hours. I could hardly remember the last time I touched the wheel - this road just kept going straight ahead with not even the slightest hint of a curve. The scenery was no better and could be summed up in one word: plains. Green, flat, never-ending plains. Sure, ahead you had the majestic outline of the Rockies, and yes, it seemed to be pretty close. But it had already seemed close two hours ago. Like a mirage, taunting you with the promise of something better just to remain out of reach, and at this point I had stopped hoping.
Behind me, eight of my travel companions were all snoozing. Odd, since it was only mid-afternoon, but it seemed this environment had a sedative effect on everyone, not just me. Next to me sat my designated map reader who was the only reason I had not yet gone crazy. There was obviously no map reading to be done. Here there was only one direction: straight ahead. To his credit, he had instead taken it upon himself to keep me occupied and we had had some pretty interesting conversations. Ultimately though, even he had been reduced to just sitting there staring blindly into the distance. We were two friends suffering together in this seemingly static nightmare.
But wait! Surely the mountians were closer now? And we could even spot some of the hills coming up. This was it! It had to be! Yes, the road started to bend, and soon we found ourselves cruising through the foothills! The road flowing with the terrain around it - something new to see around every corner. And trees! Glorious trees!
I looked over at my fellow companion with a smile and he was smiling too. Finally we had some enjoyable driving ahead of us! Our perserverence had paid off!
- 'Good job Emil' I heard a voice from the back. 'Pull over as soon as you can and we'll switch drivers'.
It seemed I was destined to enjoy the foothills through a heavily tinted window in the back of an overcrowded van instead of of having the pleasure of driving through this wonderful landscape.
This was from a road trip I took in university with some friends, and although perhaps a bit exaggerated here, the road through Kansas into Colorado is certainly not the most exciting driving to be had ;) Boring driving aside, the trip was loads of fun and I would love to go back with the family some time. But yeah, I'm a trees and mountains kinda guy, and open landscapes, though pretty in its own way, is not where I feel at home. Trees please!
Photograph shot in Cardross on the west coast of Scotland near Dumbarton at 3:07am. There is something about graveyards in the middle of the night that I really enjoy. This was a little bit tricky to shoot as it was so dark that I couldn't get the camera to auto-focus. After a little perserverence I managed a manual focus for this one.
A couple of test shots later and this was the result, feedback most welcome.

I took so many pics to get these ones. There were about 5 of these on the Buddleja and they spent most of their time with their wings folded together so I couldn't see them properly. After a bit of perserverence I got these two pics which I was pleased with.
This is one of the original blueprints to my house. As you can see, it's deteriorated quite a bit over the last hundred years or so. We've framed a second one that's in much better condition, but you have to admit that this one has a lot of character.

The older, grittier, Victorian end of Gainsborough's Sandsfield Lane. I am stood in what would have been the churchyard at the rear of the Holy Trinity Church (you can just see the building in the extreme right of the shot). The Church itself closed in the early 1970s, and then stood abandoned for about ten years until it was converted into the Trinity Arts Centre, in which role it continues to this day. As part of the conversion, the old graveyard at the back was cleared and a car park laid.
The buildings beyond are all on Sandsfield Lane itself. The row of houses is Perseverance Terrace, built in 1972. Beyond that the old Marshall's Water Tower can be made out.

A view of the station name board on the eastbound platform at Rainhill station which also depicts George Stephenson's Rocket which won the Rainhill Locomotive Trials of October 1829.
The Rainhill Trials, run at Rainhill in 1829, marked a seminal moment in the development of steam locomotive railways.
The Liverpool and Manchester Railway - the world's first inter-city passenger railway - was nearing completion and the directors of the railway ran a competition to determine whether stationary steam engines or locomotives should haul the trains. Each of the judges was a highly respected engineer - John Urpeth Rastrick, a locomotive engineer of Stourbridge; Nicholas Wood, a mining engineer from Killingworth with considerable locomotive design experience; and John Kennedy, a Manchester cotton spinner and a major proponent of the railway. The procedure was highly scientific, with a loading equivalent to three times the locomotives own weight, and each had to travel a distance equal to a return journeu from Liverpool to Manchester.
Five locomotives presented for the competition, run over the course of several days. "Cycloped" by Thomas Brandreth, utilised a horse walking on a drive belt, and was quickly withdrawn after the horse passed through the floor. "Perserverence" by Timothy Burstall, failed to achieve the 16 km/h (10 mph) minimum speed on the first day and retired next. Timothy Hackworth's "Sans Pareil" exceeded the maximum permitted weight, but was allowed to compete until it cracked a cylinder. "Novelty", produced by John Ericsson and John Braithwaite, was lighter and quicker than most of the competition, but suffered a cracked boiler pipe which could not be repaired. George Stephenson's "Rocket" was the only locomotive to complete the trials, achieving a top speed of 48 km/h (30 mph) while hauling thirty tonnes. As the winner of the competition, Stephenson received the contract to produce locomotives for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.
Rainhill Station is one of the oldest stations in the world, opening a year after the Trials in 1830. The first record of substantial buildings at Rainhill were mentioned in a Board instruction to erect "a large waiting room" in 1841, although the present building is much more than that. Under the amalgamation of 1846, the LMR and the Grand Junction Railway became part of the LNWR's Northern Division, with the station design at Rainhill closely aligned to GJR practice. The long, two-storey hipped-roof building has a pitched wrap-round canopy supported by arcades of segmental open cast-iron beams and highly decorated brackets between wooden posts. The building is formed from brick, with fluted stone door and window casing giving a delicate touch. It has a latticed iron footbridge and a standard wooden LNWR signal box on a brick base (1899).
George Stephenson designed and constructed the Skew arch bridge at the west end of the station, the first skew to ever cross a railway. This handsome bridge, which carried the Liverpool to Warrington Turnpike, has a span of 54 ft on a skew of 34 degrees, the most acutely angled of the sixteen skew bridges on the LMR. Like the station, it is now a listed building.

Shrub firmly ensconced in a limestone boulder located at the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona USA - seemingly flourishing without apparent soil or abundant moisture. For me a poignant lesson in perserverence. Some of us have been bestowed the legacy of grand nourishment, rearing and nurturing while others have been given remarkably far less. Regardless, this shrub has taught me and will continue to teach me that there will always be sufficient.
The day after our wind storm, I was out and about and I saw this singular rose on a bush. Not only was it the only rose, but it was just about the only vegetation excepting the stems. The same 50+ mile per hour gusts that had pulled down even towering oaks had stripped the rose bare, excepting this one bud which bloomed the morning after.

this is one miracle that I have particularly enjoyed. This little mans mom came to us at a mere 17 weeks gestation with a cervix that didn't want to stay shut. she had a cerclage placed and then layed in bed for 8 weeks in an upside down position. She didn't complain. She was cautious about her optimism. She was an absolute delight to take care of. I now consider her a friend. This little man used to run away from me when I would try to find his heart rate- and I used to threaten to tickle him extra when he got out. His mom had him very early and he was very small. but he is a fighter man, and he is doing so much better! He is now over 3 pounds, breathing on his own, and taking some bottlesof yummy breast milk. I love him. He is perserverence, hope, determination, and strength.
and I think he waved at me today :)
