In 1835, Berwick was told that its prison in the Town Hall was unsuitable and needed to be replaced. It took sometime to find a site, agree on plans and raise the money to do this. However, this project finally came to fruition with the opening of this building in Wallace Green in 1849 as a Prison. It's history as a prison was relatively short lived as it closed in 1878. However, having cost so much to build, a new use had to be found for it. Initially it was used as a Court house and by Berwick's Police Force, but then in the early 1890s it was purchased by Berwick's

Urban Sanitary Authority, it was converted to office

accommodation and stables were built on the back of the site. A plaque above the main door commemorates the completion of this work in 1892. From then until 2009, the building was used a Council administrative buildings, being eventually sold after 2015 to a local developer, who has converted it to four properties, retaining many of its original features, including some of the prison cells on the top floor.

BNSF M-CHIGAL crosses the Sanitary and Ship Canal over a former 1899 swing bridge, known as Bridge 24B during the Santa Fe days, behind a rebuilt ex-BN SD60M. This was one of eight bridges on the Sanitary between Chicago and Lockport that was converted into a moveable bridge to allow the passage of 28 Gato-class and Balao-class submarines built in Manitowoc during World War II.

Chicago Sanitary District's pristine SW-1 #3 comes back from the dumping fields with thirteen empties. Upon returning to the treatment plant, they would turn and burn with another 13 cars of dehydrated sludge.

 

Approaching the treatment plant (from the downwind side!) brought to mind that garbage compactor scene from A New Hope when Han Solo looks at Chewie and sarcastically says "what an incredible smell you've discovered!"

The building is a domestic Norman dwelling, known as the Constable's House, which was built within the original castle bailey in 1160. Much of the stonework survives, including a rare example of a Norman chimney (one of only five in the country). The stone used for construction was Purbeck marble. The ground floor which has four slit windows was used as a storeroom. The upper floor, accessed by steps outside and an internal staircase, contained the main hall. It is 67 by 23 feet (20 by 7 m) in size. As well as the chimney, another notable feature is the garderobe tower, which extends over the mill stream added in the early 13th century to provide sanitary arrangements.

CSDX #2 and #3 switch out cars at the Stickney Water Plant after sunset. Both of these engines have worked for the Sanitary District of Chicago for their entire life of 74 years, having been built in 1952. For being the only railroad in the US created for the sole purpose of moving human waste, I consider this one of the coolest hidden gems of the Chicago rail scene.

An all original un-rebuilt and unmodified SW1, Sanitary District of Chicago #3 leads a 13 car train of waste from the water reclamation plant in Stickney, to the dumping fields out west of McCook, IL.

A UP run-through train on the IHB is about to cross the CSX diamonds of the Elsdon Sub - once the GTW main into Chicago. The bridge crosses the Calumet-Saganashkee Channel or Cal-Sag Channel for short. This is a 16-mile-long drainage and shipping canal connecting the Little Calumet River to the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Constructed between 1911 and 1922, the canal was dug to reverse the flow of the Little Calumet River for the purpose of draining untreated sewage discharged into the river away from Lake Michigan and into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

Is there really such a thing as a sanitary sewer? I have my doubts.

It’s a perfect summers day without a cloud in the sky, as a pair of IHB GP40-2s (4017/4014) lead train BA11 from IHB Blue Island Yard enroute to Union Pacific’s Proviso Yard as they rattle across the CN Joliet Sub diamonds at CP Canal in Summit, IL. Seen here crossing the bridge over the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal on the approach to the BNSF Chillicothe Sub diamonds at CP McCook on the IHB West Line. Taken: 6-23-23

Johnson Bros

In 1883, Alfred and Frederick Johnson formed a pottery company and began production at the Charles Street Works, Hanley which they purchased at a bankruptcy sale. At first they specialised in the manufacture of earthenware which they called "White Granite" because of the white glazed finish over a hard clay base. Increasing demand lead to expansion of the company and in 1888 third brother The Reverend Henry Johnson joined them, followed ten years later by a fourth brother Robert Johnson. The company developed a product known as "semi-porcelain", a range of pottery that had the characteristics of fine china, but the strength of ironstoneware. This tableware range became very popular in the United States due to its durability and low cost. In 1889 Hanley Pottery Works, the first of three additional factories in the Eastwood ward was opened, followed almost immediately by the Alexander Pottery and in 1891 the Imperial Works. In 1896, the Trent Sanitary Works was opened adjacent to the Imperial Works for the production of non-tableware products (the clue's in the name!). An aerial photo from 1935 shows 25 bottle kilns of varying sizes on the Trent Sanitaryware site besides these two Grade II listed calcining kilns left standing today (calcining was the process by which flint was heated to over 1350° C to make it 'friable' so that it could be crushed into a powder and added to the clay mix to increase the strength of white ware. By the end of the 1930's the original factory in Charles Street was closed and new technology was introduced into the three pottery works either side of the Caldon canal, with the development of modern systems of firing using electricity rather than coal,. This in turn led to a better quality product, lower prices, and improved conditions for the workforce. However for the duration of WW2 shipments to the main market in the USA ceased and production was greatly reduced. After the War business picked up rapidly and new markets opened up but the 1960's saw a change in popular taste, rising competition from the Far East and spiralling production costs. To remain competitive, in 1968 Johnson Brothers amalgamated with the Wedgwood Group but in 1995 the Hanley Pottery works to the north side of the Caldon canal was closed and demolished to make way for a housing estate. In 2003, the manufacturing of Johnson Brothers products in Stoke-on-Trent ceased and was transferred to Indonesia, where production costs were 70% less than in Britain. Over 1400 jobs were lost with the closure of the remaining two Johnson Bros factories, the Imperial Pottery and the Trent Sanitary Works. In 2008 the Waterford Wedgwood Group itself went into Administration but was was acquired by Finnish company Fiskars seven years later. Production of the Waterford and Wedgwood brands continued in Indonesia but the Johnson Bros brand was phased out. The last vestiges of this once mighty enterprise is three Grade II listed buildings, these two bottle kilns beside the Caldon canal and the offices of the Trent Sanitary Works on the Eastwood Road . . . oh, and I've got a cupboard-full of Johnson's London white ware!

Isn't that an oxymoron?

"For those aboard the Greg Mortimer in Montevideo, desperation is setting in, crew members told the AP.

The Antarctic cruise set sail from Argentina on March 15, after a pandemic had already been declared. The ship''s physician, Dr. Mauricio Usme, said that when the first passenger fell ill, on March 22, he was pressured by the captain, the cruise operator and owners to modify the health conditions that had to be met for the ship to be admitted into ports.

Dr. Usme refused. The boat anchored in the port of Montevideo on March 27.

More than half of its passengers and crew tested positive for COVID-19. Finally, on April 10, 127 passengers, including some who were infected, were allowed to disembark and fly home to Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada and Europe. Crew members were told to stay on board.

The doctor was hospitalized in an intensive care unit in Montevideo, along with a Filipino crew member, who later died.

"People are exhausted and mentally drained,” said Dr. Usme, now recovered and back on the Greg Mortimer. “It''s a complex situation. You feel very vulnerable and at imminent risk of death.”

Chicago Sanitary makes their third and final run back from the shit fields of the day, accommodated by the green SW1s. As far as I've ever seen, nobody else has shot this operation at night, which made this especially cool for a Sunday.
