Back in 1816, James Foster, an ironmaster, and engineer John Urpeth Rastrick became partners and formed the company in 1819. The place was badly damaged by fire in 2004.
John Rastrick was an important man, not just in Stourbridge but internationally. He was one of the official observers, or judges in the Rainhill Trials, a competition to win the contract to supply the locomotives for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Without his observations, we may not have known the colour and appearance of the winner, The Rocket.
Inside the foundry, four locomotives were made. The two most famous being the Stourbridge Lion and Agenoria, the latter which worked at the Shutt End Colliery, near Birmingham, for over 35 years. It was built to move coal trucks from mine workings to canal and river navigations and surrounding Iron foundries. It is now in the National Railway museum in York.
The Stourbridge Lion was also built here. It became the first locomotive to run on rails in the United States, in fact, andywhere in the Western Hemisphere. It operated between Honesdale and Seely's Mills in Pennsylvania on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's railroad, August 8, 1829. Only the bioler and a few other parts remain on show at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum.
It is a shame that such an important place in not just Stourbridge's but railway history is in such a bad state.
Silver Dollar City, in Branson, Missouri, has some of the greatest groundskeepers in the entertainment world. Here, the contrast between a rusted mine cart and the purple booms caught my eye.

A tiny spot of sunshine to light up the edge of this old pipe.
Certainly getting us out and about this month Tim.
perched atop the old dam wall lie these gears, once used to raise and lower the main pipe for the town's water supply
Taken in North Carolina while hiking in the woods.
(because of the camera i took this one w/, i had to be 2 feet away, at the most, from it. and as soon as i took it it scurried off.)
Shot this as a lens test shot but found I like the look of the rust against the blurred background of red flowers. The intricate rust detail is also of interest.
This was photographed in our front yard, on a cloudy afternoon (today) using a Nikon 1 V2, and a Minolta f/2.0 lens at f/2.8, with a Nikon 1 adapter. Very pleased with how this lens is working out for shots like this.
On the Nikon 1, this 50mm lens is equivalent to a 135mm f/2.0 lens on a full frame camera. The Nikon 1 is not ideal for manual lenses, however there are some simple workarounds. All shots must be in Manual mode. But you need to first set to A (aperture) to get a shutter speed, and then dial in the shutter speed in the Manual mode. That's because the Nikon 1, unlike most mirrorless cameras, will not let us shoot a manual lens in A mode! Blah! Also, there are no focusing aids on the Nikon 1, however, I have not found that to be a problem.
I am a fan of the Nikon 1 system for its portability. I can pack a camera and a full complement of lenses, including this one, plus an Olympus TCON-17 teleconverter (giving me a 500mm FF equivalent lens) in a tiny, tiny bag. Great for hiking!
Sadly, Nikon has not given a clear indication of what it is doing with the Nikon 1 system. Just under a year ago, they introduced the improved Nikon 1 J5 camera and everyone assumed they'd launch a Nikon 1 V4 by now. But there has not been a peep about future Nikon 1 cameras - we do know that Nikon has introduced some additional 1" sensor cameras but not with interchangeable lenses, unfortunately.
