The Norman Hotel was built in 1889 for Robert Heaslop to a design from the office of John B. Nicholson. It is a brick hotel prominently sited at the corner of Qualtrough Street on the busy Ipswich Brisbane Road.
In 1859, at the time of Separation from New South Wales, the road between Brisbane and Ipswich was considered by the incoming Governor of Queensland to be the only good road in Queensland and is still a major thoroughfare. At this time, quite a number of Europeans lived around the junction of the five tracks that were to become the Woolloongabba Fiveways, though it was not then thought of as a residential area. In June 1864 William Qualtrough purchased Lots 72 and 73 of Sub 167 on the Ipswich Road. He died in 1870 and left the land to his widow, Elizabeth.
In the 1880s Woolloongabba developed quickly, together with the adjoining suburbs of East Brisbane, Buranda and Stones Corner, following the expansion of the railway and tramway systems and the growth of associated commerce and light industry. In 1881 a dry dock was established at South Brisbane and the nearby coal wharves were linked to a railway goods yard at Woolloongabba in 1884. The first (horse drawn) trams in Brisbane ran between Woolloongabba and Newstead in 1885 and had reached Buranda by 1887.
In 1885 Robert Heaslop purchased the Ipswich Road land from Mrs Qualtrough. He appears to have been a member of a family that had retail interests in the area.
South Brisbane and Woolloongabba were amalgamated to form the City of South Brisbane in 1888 and in the following year the first Post Office opened in Woolloongabba and was serviced by tram. The area was booming, as was the Queensland economy generally, and Robert Heaslop chose this year to build a substantial hotel on his land, registering a mortgage on the title for £3500 in November 1889. The expansion of the population in the area is reflected in the building of other hotels at the time, such as the Woolloongabba Hotel (1887), the Railway Hotel (1889) and Burke's Hotel (1890). Heaslop's new hotel was built by F Steffans and designed by John B Nicholson.
John Beauchamp Nicholson was born in 1852 in Surry and arrived in Brisbane around 1876. After working as a clerk and foreman for the contractor and later architect, Andrew Murphie and for plumber Hiram Wakefield, he set up an architectural office in October 1885. He worked in partnership with Constantin Mathea between 1886 and January 1887, with J Sinclair Ferguson and with Alfred R L Wright from March 1890 until going into involuntary liquidation in January 1891. During these few years, Nicholson's office designed a variety of handsome and substantial buildings including Lady Musgrave Lodge in 1891 and the 1888 Princess Theatre at Woolloongabba, though a good proportion of the work catered for the liquor trade and included a number of fine hotels and the Lion Brewery in Townsville.
The Norman Hotel opened in June 1890 with Heaslop as the first licensee. To fulfil the conditions of the 1885 Licensing Acct, the licensee had to live on the premises, so the license was quickly transferred to Henry Marsden, previously publican of the Bowen Hotel in South Brisbane. Heaslop was able to keep an eye on the premises, however, living just across the road from the hotel. Marsden remained as licensee until 1892 when J C Hauer briefly held the license before it was transferred to Samuel Heaslop, possibly a relative of the owner. In December 1896 the hotel was leased to Percy Hubbard at 5.10.0 per week. The lease was transferred to John Dwyer in July 1897, though the licence continued in Hubbard's name until 1898. John, then Mary Dwyer, held the licence until 1900, when the brewing company of Perkins & Co purchased the hotel.
Perkins & Co was one of two breweries, established by Irish families, who had first set up business in Castlemaine, Victoria. Perkins and the Castlemaine Brewery had established breweries in Brisbane and competed for trade. Both undertook the purchase of hotels as 'tied houses' selling only their own beer as part of this competition, Perkins purchasing Burke's Hotel in 1901 and Castlemaine the nearby Broadway Hotel in 1917. Perkins & Co leased the Norman Hotel to a series of publicans and in 1928 the Castlemaine Brewery and Quinlan Gray and Company purchased Perkins & Co. Ltd.
From 1900 the Woolloongabba area experienced a slow decline and the hotel, though changing licensees, remained much the same. The main bar was renovated in the 1960s, though little other change occurred until the late 20th century. In 1987 the Cavill family of hoteliers purchased the Norman Hotel. They purchased adjoining land and added a beer garden and outdoor eating area, the steakhouse opening in 1988. In the process of the redevelopment, several detached structures were removed from the rear of the property including stables and an air raid shelter.
The hotel has been renovated and some walls have been removed on the upper floor to create two function rooms. On the ground floor the entrance hall area has been little changed, but the dining room, kitchen, pantry and spirit room have been removed and the space is now used as a gaming area. The main bar on the other side of the hall has been reduced in size and now opens on to the courtyard area through glass folding doors.

A second photo of the Catwoman cosplayer I ran into later on Saturday at MAGFest. This is a monochromatic version with a color block (or mask) to let only certain colors show through; just to be a bit more artistic with my editing.
I used the frequency separation technique to do very tiny edits to give her skin more of an airbrushed look that looks natural.

Simply because the colorful but clearly delineated rings of these nested mixing bowls made me laugh.
"You are burning in separation, unsatisfied. Go on burning. Let
whatever's old in you burn out.
Let your world burst like an eggshell, and another world come out of it.
Climb down the steps of this underworld, into greater and greater darkness.
When you have lost everything, every familiar sign,
only then will your past catch up with you,
your future come forwards towards you -
all new, renewed.

Murder scene 2 of 2.
April 25th 1922 – Fifty-two year old Hyram Thompson was a Preston labourer who brutally kicked his wife to death at their home, 11 Brandiforth Street, in Bamber Bridge. On many occasions over the years his wife Ellen had applied for a separation order but each time he managed to persuade her to change her mind. Thompson had a violent temper and his wife was not alone in bearing the brunt of his anger for he just as often turned on his three children.
On 25th April Thompson came home from work and sat down at the dining table. He was already in a foul mood after a hard day at work so when his wife asked him to prepare his own tea as she was looking after a neighbour’s child, he flew into a rage. Tired of his abuse, Ellen walked over to the table and struck her husband across the face. He rose from his chair and punched her to the floor, then, as she lay stunned on the carpet, he brutally kicked the last breath from her body. His anger still unsatisfied he went to the bathroom, gathered up his cutthroat razor, then returned to his wife and coldly slit her throat.
The children found their mother dead when they returned home. Beside her, the young child she had been minding was screaming in a cradle. Thompson was apprehended in a nearby bed and breakfast, and just eighteen days after he had committed the offence, he stood in the dock accused of wilful murder.
His son told the court that his father was a most drunken, lazy, wicked man, and that the family lived in fear of him. The whole proceedings took less than an hour and the jury did not even have to retire before they delivered a verdict of guilty. Thompson was sentenced to death by Mr Justice Branson. Less than six weeks after committing the murder, he was hanged by John Ellis and William Willis on the 30th May 1922. Comment source: Leyland Community History Library

Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Details of the exterior decoration of the Duomo in the centre of town (manipulated).
Inspired from the (old) Brick Separator, this building is 880' tall and has 66 floors. Across the river is Separation Plaza which features an arch (I went to St. Louis this past weekend). To the left is the start of Brickville's largest park and will be the dividing line between the north and south sides of the city.
Oh, I knew it had to come. With the recent warm weather, campers, boaters, and other natural lovers have began to return to Clinton Lake. Over 1 million visitors a year do make use of this state park.
As I prowled it's many areas in the midst of winter, I've never encountered another person. Now the visits seem a bit odd as I find strangers in places which I've come to think as private.
I'd say that I long to have winter return, but my many dear contacts in such places as Canada, Iceland, and Lorain, Ohio would roll their eyes and immediately strike me off their contact list!
When the flowers bloom and the trees bud in earnest, I'll quickly adapt...
The perfect stillness of an early summer evening, seen and felt by this window. Also, a very enjoyable prelude to the weekend :)
NP23 Armidale/ Moree Xplorer service is on the final approach to Werris Creek where the train will split into two before each set continues to their respective destination, 30/7/2018.
An older shot of Jessica but trying out the frequency separation technique. It definitely evens out the skin and colours a bit. Here's a video I've watched a couple times to get a sense of what to do - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWDYYk6nWqc
Apparently this is getting overused as a technique these days (fstoppers had an article about it - fstoppers.com/originals/frequency-separation-rehab-42129), but I can see it as a nice addition to the Photoshop arsenal.
