Statue to Francis Russell, Seventh Duke of Bedford which has recently been relocated.
The area in front of the Magistrate;s Court where the statue was originally located had become a car park by the 1930s.
However, with work undertaken between 2019 and 2021 to improve the public realm around the statue, car park and nearby war memorial the Duke was moved a few yards to a new site away from the cars!
The bronze statue was created by Edward Bowring Stephens and erected in 1864, three years after the Duke's death.
Francis Russell was the driving force behind the development of the tow of Tavistock in the 19th Century aided by significant returns from mines which operated on his estate including Devon Great Consols - once Britain's most productive copper mine.
Tavistock is an integral part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Happy Arachtober 17th! Another Giant House Spider relocation mission, we were inundated with these spiders for a time.
Out with Paul Farrell this evening at Meols. The owner of Sue, one of my favourite boats here, has moved her mooring hence the title.
Work has been progressing rapidly in Michigan City with the last bits of pavement being removed and relocation of Water, Sewer and Power lines well underway.

Having wrapped up their work over on the East Providence side, Providence and Worcester Railroad local freight PR-3 is now headed south toward the Port of Providence for the rest of their days work. This is the official timetable end of the Main Line at MP 5.1 (as measured from Union Station) at this one time junction known as 'Boston Switch' and from here to Cranston Yard they will be on Amtrak property. Visible to the right and partially obscured by the spring greenery is the crumbling tile roofed pagoda style interlocking tower here where Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline down from Boston curls in from the northeast. Sharp eyes will note the white painted concrete New Haven Railroad era milepost 190 at the right edge of the frame.
That line was built as the Boston & Providence in 1847 as a new route into the city from East Jct. near South Attleboro, MA. Their original 1835 route traveled to East Providence where passengers and freight were ferried across the Providence River into downtown. From this point to Union Station the P&W (which opened its line into Providence that same year) and B&P were operated a joint facility. In 1892 the P&W was leased to the New Haven and a year later the former B&P (by then in the Old Colony fold) joined the growing empire and both routes now fell under the aegis of the same company.
In 1914 a massive grade separation and line relocation project in Pawtucket took place. This was about the eastern limits of the work and according to Edward J. Ozog's phenomenal Railroad's of Rhode Island site:
"SS 156 was built to protect the east end of the line relocation. Switches and signals were operated by electricity. The plan of the tower was similar to SS 154 built at the same time at the west end of the relocation but adjusted for its location and orientation. The tower was reduced to short hours when the depression struck and it was closed in 1935 and its duties transferred to Woodlawn Tower. In 1937 the interlocking machine was sent to Bridgeport for use in SS 60.".
Remarkably some 87 years after the last shift was worked here it still stands guard as a tangible link to the Ocean State's railroading heritage. And interestingly though named 'Boston Switch' there is no longer an actual switch here and the closest physical connection (even though technically Amtrak property begins here) is about 1.4 miles ahead at LAWN interlocking.
GP38-2s 2008 and 2006 are original to the road having been built new for the then only 7 year independent company by EMD in Dec. and Feb. 1980 respectively), and they still proudly wear their red and brown colors despite being a member of the Genesee and Wyoming family for more than six years already.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Shiwan Ware was from kilns located in the Guangdong provincial city of Foshan. Area ceramic production experienced a long history by the late Ming period 16th century when ceramic artisans from perhaps Dehua and Jingdezhen relocated to the Shiwan area and expanded local production into a vigorous export related industry. Shiwan wares provide a contrast with more conservatively rendered Dehua efforts. Clay for the ware was provided not only from area preserves, but also from distant locations that could be variously mixed to provide a variety of textures and desired ceramic outcomes. The range could extend from a porcelain, that could rival Dehua in purity, to a rough stoneware. Shiwan ware was widely exported. Its glazing techniques directly influenced Japanese Shiga wares and others.
Since my boyfriend moved in with me in January the closet/doll room was reassigned as his computer room/ mancave. Since my house is not that big, all of the dolls now live in the living room. It is kinda nice that i can now see them from the couch when i watch t.v.

Hunkering in on a very windy day on a vernal pond near the bay, the Black-necked Stilts occasionally relocated themselves in the crowd.

This brown chafer (Serica brunnea) had taken a wrong turn somewhere and was crawling around inside my house when my wife found it.
So with the camera in my other hand, I brought it outside into the garden and placed it on a random pink flower for an impromptu photo session and this one came out better than expected.
Not that we stole anything. We were moving this historical treasure to another location.

A Greater Manchester Police officer and his Mini patrol car photographed outside part the Granada Television complex on Quay Street in Manchester.
The image was taken in 1977.
Quay Street Studios were the headquarters of Granada between 1956 and 2013.
The site produced such popular shows as World in Action and University Challenge and was also home of the famous Coronation Street.
Granada relocated to a new home at Trafford Wharf in 2013.
Going into production in 1959, the Mini became one of the most iconic police vehicles of the next two decades and was famously used by the Panda patrol system.

... this cyclist was in for a shock. I was already eying the buzzard. First he sat on the meadow and relocated to one of the trees along the Niers cycling route. As I saw the guy approaching the bird, I got off my bike to be ready for it taking off, hoping for a flight shot. I didn't expect what happened. Just, when the bike was close to the bird it shot down right in front of the guy and caught a mouse taking off with it (unfortunately in the other direction). Knowing the size of the common buzzard, this must have been quite a shock.
Ein Schreck...
... dieser Radfahrer hat sich mit Sicherheit ziemlich erschrocken. Ich habe den Bussard schon auf der Wiese beobachtet, bevor er sich auf einen der Bäume am Niersradweg setzte. Als der Radfahrer kam, bin ich von meinem Rad abgestiegen, weil ich auf ein Flugbild hoffte, sobald der Mann den Vogel aufscheuchte. Was dann passierte, hatte ich nicht erwartet. Der Raubvogel stürzte sich dicht vor dem Fahrrad in die Wiese, hat eine Maus gefangen und flog damit davon (leider in die andere Richtung). Wenn man die Größe des Mäusebussards kennt, kann man sich den Schreck bei dem Mann vorstellen.
Cuteness overload. Red squirrel (Eurasian squirrel) relocating at least 4 youngsters from one tree to another. First attempt to jump did not work out, so it is climbing down and up with the precious load.
Toujours partants pour un petit tour de capsule spatiale ! La journée a commencé avec un tour de piste, à proximité de l’ISS (une soixaine de mètres), pour changer de place de parking (Shane a maintenant sa chambre à l’étage, sur le dessus de l’ISS, plutôt que sur le devant). C’était agréable (et une très sérieuse opération) d’enfiler nos scaphandres et de réaliser toutes les procédures de départ… mais pour mieux revenir, il n’est pas encore temps de rentrer !
A good day to take our spacecraft for a spin! Just a short trip around the block, to re-dock to the zenith Space Station port and free up the forward parking spot for upcoming spacecraft, yes, there’s a lot of traffic up here! It felt good to put on our spacesuits and leave the International Space Station… just for a little while, it’s not time to go home just yet. 😃

For some reason I'm incapable of taking clear pictures of this....Oh well.
Anyways, some of you may know this, but, like ZetoVince, I've always been a fan of negative camber and the stance movement. I finally applied some camber to a build, and it fits perfectly IMO. The 350z is a very popular car to lower/customize (this is easier shown by Googling "Nissan 350z camber" or something similar). This model is 7-wide, 8 if you count the widebody. Features include camber (this makes it sit about 3/4 plate high off the ground), front indicators, wide body kit, relocated dual exhaust (on the sides), tinted headlights, and full interior/trim.
"Bro, do you even lift?"
"No, I lower."
After Danny and I relocated to Waterloo, Ontario, in 2015, it took me more than two years to appreciate the incredible green space next to our home -- even though "green space" was one of my requirements when chose this home. Here is the view from our back fence and my office window.
I went through a major depression in 2016. I did little photography that year, but this photo is a portent of my love affair with this woods, which began earnestly in the fall of 2017. Sometimes we have to go through darkness to reach a better place. I'm grateful for many people and things -- this beautfiul urban park among them -- for helping me find solid ground I'd sought for many years.
Healing is a lifelong journey. Practically every morning you will see me roam down that bicycle path with my camera or phone, cross the bridge and disappear into the woods.
I'm sorting old photos and posting some interesting ones. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Feb. 10, 2020.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
During WW2 Retford train station in Retford, Nottinghamshire was on a busy railway junction, many WVS volunteers passed through the station and used its facilities, at its peak between 1940 and 1946, the station kitchen served over 1,000 meals per day.
