The Village of Pomeroy is the county seat of Meigs County, Ohio. In 2010 it had a population of 1,852.
I love this painting and sold it to a wonderful person in Ohio, but not a day goes by I don't miss it. I don't know why; it's just the spirit of the thing. It's really our Miles in tuxedo disguise.

"Pomeroy's Juvenile Hour. WEEU. Bernie, program director. Photo by Pomeroy's."
Pomeroy's was a department store that had locations in Reading, Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre, and other Pennsylvania cities. This real photo postcard, which shows the Reading store in the upper left-hand corner, was used to advertise Pomeroy's Juvenile Hour radio show, which debuted sometime in the 1930s. Various local radio stations carried the show, including WEEU in Reading and WHP in Harrisburg.
Pomeroy's ran ads for the Juvenile Hour in newspapers, too, as this excerpt from the Harrisburg Telegraph, Sept. 29, 1932, p. 8, demonstrates: "Pomeroy's, 'Harrisburg's Greatest Department Store,' Saturday, 9:30 a.m. You are invited to attend our first 'Juvenile Hour' radio broadcast direct from our broadcasting studio on the third floor. See and hear Harrisburg's future radio stars as they broadcast over radio station WHP. These performers are all between the ages of 2 and 12, and you'll marvel at their exhibition. If you are unable to attend the broadcast in person, tune in at 9:30 Saturday morning on station WHP and you'll get an hour of radio sunshine and happiness that will thrill you for a long time to come. Pomeroy's 'Juvenile Hour' will be on the air every Saturday morning, 9:30 to 10:30."

An old gas station in Pomeroy, Washington with a vintage Veltex sign and an old bus parked out front.
"At its high point in the ’60s, Boise-based Fletcher Oil Co. fielded more than 100 Veltex stations in Idaho and others in Oregon and Washington. Then came a new generation of family ownership, followed in 1969 by splitting up of the company into two units – one in California, which kept the Veltex name, and the other in Idaho and Oregon, which transitioned into marketing gasoline and other supplies under a variety of big oil company brands. The last of the Veltex stations in the Boise area, at Fifth and Main streets, closed in 1991." - IDAHO BUSINESS REVIEW

The central criminal courts, Old Bailey, London. Seen after heavy Spring rain.
The court originated as the sessions house of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of London and of Middlesex. The original medieval court was first mentioned in 1585; it was next to the older Newgate gaol, and seems to have grown out of the endowment to improve the gaol and rooms for the Sheriffs, made possible by a gift from Richard Whittington. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt in 1674, with the court open to the weather to prevent the spread of disease.

In 1734 it was refronted, enclosing the court and reducing the influence of spectators: this led to outbreaks of typhus, notably in 1750 when 60 people died, including the Lord Mayor and two judges. It was rebuilt again in 1774 and a second courtroom was added in 1824. Over 100,000 criminal trials were carried out at the Old Bailey between 1674 and 1834
In 1834, it was renamed as the Central Criminal Court and its jurisdiction extended beyond that of London and Middlesex to the whole of the English jurisdiction for trials of major cases. Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service manages the courts and administers the trials but the building itself is owned by the City of London Corporation, which finances the building, the running of it, the staff and the maintenance out of their own resources.
The court was originally intended as the site where only criminals accused of crimes committed in the City and Middlesex were tried. However, in 1856, there was public revulsion at the accusations against the doctor William Palmer that he was a poisoner and murderer. This led to fears that he could not receive a fair trial in his native Staffordshire. The Central Criminal Court Act 1856 was passed to enable his trial to be held at the Old Bailey.
In the 19th century, the Old Bailey was a small court adjacent to Newgate gaol. Hangings were a public spectacle in the street outside until May 1868. The condemned would be led along Dead Man's Walk between the prison and the court, and many were buried in the walk itself. Large, riotous crowds would gather and pelt the condemned with rotten fruit and vegetables and stones. In 1807, 28 people were crushed to death after a pie-seller's stall overturned. A secret tunnel was subsequently created between the prison and St Sepulchre's church opposite, to allow the chaplain to minister to the condemned man without having to force his way through the crowds.
The present Old Bailey building dates from 1902 but it was officially opened on 27 February 1907. It was designed by E. W. Mountford and built on the site of the infamous Newgate gaol, which was demolished to allow the court buildings to be constructed. Above the main entrance is inscribed the admonition: "Defend the Children of the Poor & Punish the Wrongdoer". King Edward VII opened the courthouse.
Lady Justice statue on the top of the court building
On the dome above the court stands a bronze statue of Lady Justice, executed by the British sculptor F. W. Pomeroy. She holds a sword in her right hand and the scales of justice in her left. The statue is popularly supposed to show blind Justice, however, the figure is not blindfolded: the courthouse brochures explain that this is because Lady Justice was originally not blindfolded, and because her “maidenly form” is supposed to guarantee her impartiality which renders the blindfold redundant.
During the Blitz of World War II, the Old Bailey was bombed and severely damaged, but subsequent reconstruction work restored most of it in the early 1950s. In 1952, the restored interior of the Grand Hall of the Central Criminal Court was once again open. The interior of the Great Hall (underneath the dome) is decorated with paintings commemorating the Blitz, as well as quasi-historical scenes of St Paul's Cathedral with nobles outside. Running around the entire hall are a series of axioms, some of biblical reference. They read:
"The law of the wise is a fountain of life"
"The welfare of the people is supreme"
"Right lives by law and law subsists by power"
"Poise the cause in justice's equal scales"
"Moses gave unto the people the laws of God"
"London shall have all its ancient rights"
The Great Hall (and the floor beneath it) is also decorated with many busts and statues, chiefly of British monarchs, but also of legal figures, and those who achieved renown by campaigning for improvement in prison conditions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This part of the building also houses the shorthand-writers' offices.
The lower level also hosts a minor exhibition on the history of the Old Bailey and Newgate featuring historical prison artefacts.
In 1973, the Belfast Brigade of the Provisional IRA exploded a car bomb in the street outside the courts, killing one and injuring 200 people. A shard of glass is preserved as a reminder, embedded in the wall at the top of the main stairs.
South Block extension
Between 1968 and 1972, a new South Block, designed by the architects Donald McMorran and George Whitby, was built to accommodate more modern courts. There are presently 18 courts in use. Court 19 is now used variously as a press overflow facility, as a registration room for first-day jurors or as a holding area for serving jurors.
The original ceremonial gates to the 1907 part of the building are only used by the Lord Mayor and visiting royalty. The general entrance to the building is a few yards down the road in the South Block and is often featured as a backdrop in television news reports. There is also a separate rear entrance, not open to the public, which permits more discreet access. In Warwick Square, on the western side of the complex, is the "Lord Mayor's Entrance".
A remnant of the city wall is preserved in the basement beneath the cells.

The castle was built in the late 15c by the Pomeroy family, replacing their unfortified manor house in the village. It stands on a limestone outcrop overlooking the Gatcombe Brook valley on three sides and a gatehouse defensive range to the east. The Pomeroys sold the castle to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset (brother of Queen Jane) in 1547 whose successors built the Tudor mansion within the late medieval walls and it remained with the Seymour family until it was abandoned in the late 17c.
It is said to be haunted: READ ON !

Went out yesterday with the family to Berry Pomeroy castle, such a beautiful place to go, but was such a shame that the weather was so dreadful, I only managed to capture a few pics with the heavy downpour going on, but at least I managed to capture this, I personally think it turned out pretty nice, what do you think
Built in 1848, this courthouse was designed by S. S. Bergin as a Greek Revival-style structure, and originally consisted of only the central portion of the current building, and was patterned after the Scioto County Courthouse. The courthouse was passed by John Hunt Morgan’s raiding party during the United States Civil War in 1863, and, after the capture of Morgan and his men, was utilized as a temporary prison for them by Union forces in Meigs County before being sent to the Ohio State Penitentiary and larger prison facilities in Cincinnati. In 1870-1877, the courthouse was renovated in the Italianate style, and had two wings added on either side of the original courthouse. The building features a painted brick exterior, arched two-over-two windows with decorative window hoods, a circular cupola with a domed roof, a bracketed cornice, hipped roof, a two-story front portico with a balcony, exterior staircases, and two large doric columns on stone piers, a front pediment, and steel windows at two rear wings added in the early 20th Century. The building is a contributing structure in the Pomeroy Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
