The Sinclair Inn
232 St. George Street
Annanolis Royal, Nova scotia
c. 1708-1710
From the exterior, the Sinclair Inn (or Farmers Hotel, as it was known at the time of this photograph), appears to be a Loyalist structure. It is, however, the result of the union of two much earlier structures. The front third of the building nearest the street was originally a two-storey house built on the site in 1710 by Jean Baptist Soullard, a silversmith from Quebec who married an Acadian girl, Louise Comeau, in Port Royal. He evidently did not stay long after the capture of the town that year, because in November 1746, one Rebecca Whitechurch was licensed by the council "to retail strong Drink" from the Soullard House. So began the building's life as a "public house", an association that would continue, almost without interruption, for over two hundred years.

This is perhaps the most unusual museum I have ever seen. Most museums are a repository for artifacts. In this case, the museum is the artifact.
The building started out as a residence about 1710 and over time, another building was moved and joined to it to expand it and it also had a number of renovations that increased its size and appearance. The museum is not a restoration of the building to a specific date as one might expect. Instead, the interior has been partially peeled back as it were, to show the various construction methods used over the last 400 years. They have left evidence of its use through its history, providing the visitor with an unparalleled opportunity to learn much about architecture in early Canada.
When we were there, admission to the museum was FREE!

Even though the negatives were damaged in my Ars-Imago lab Box, I think they may be more interesting for it. Nonetheless, I'm pretty weary of the Lab Box fucking with my photos.

Sweets Peat & Science Museum on the Somerset Levels has an eclectic collection of 20th century technology.
The Sinclair C5 is a small one-person battery electric vehicle, technically an "electrically assisted pedal cycle". (Although widely described as an "electric car", Sinclair characterised it as a "vehicle, not a car".
It was the culmination of Sir Clive Sinclair's long-running interest in electric vehicles. Sinclair had become one of the UK's best-known millionaires and earned a knighthood on the back of the highly successful Sinclair Research range of home computers in the early 1980s. He now hoped to repeat his success in the electric vehicle market, which he saw as ripe for a new approach.
The C5 emerged from an earlier project to produce a Renault Twizy-style electric car called the C1. After a change in the law prompted by lobbying from bicycle manufacturers, Sinclair developed the C5 as an electrically powered tricycle with a polypropylene body and a chassis designed by Lotus Cars. It was intended to be the first in a series of increasingly ambitious electric vehicles, but in the event the planned development of the followup C10 and C15 electric cars never got further than the drawing board.
On 10 January 1985, the C5 was unveiled at a glitzy launch event but it received a less than enthusiastic reception from the British media. Its sales prospects were blighted by poor reviews and safety concerns expressed by consumer and motoring organisations. The vehicle's limitations – a short range, a maximum speed of only 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), a battery that ran down quickly and a lack of weatherproofing – made it impractical for most people's needs. It was marketed as an alternative to cars and bicycles, but ended up appealing to neither group of owners, and it was not available in shops until several months after its launch. Within three months of the launch, production had been slashed by 90%. Sales never picked up despite Sinclair's optimistic forecasts and production ceased entirely by August 1985. Out of 14,000 C5s made, only 5,000 were sold before its manufacturer, Sinclair Vehicles, went into receivership.
The C5 became known as "one of the great marketing bombs of postwar British industry"[3] and a "notorious ... example of failure".[4] Despite its commercial failure, the C5 went on to become a cult item for collectors. Thousands of unsold C5s were purchased by investors and sold for hugely inflated prices – as much as £5,000, compared to the original retail value of £399. Enthusiasts have established owners' clubs and some have modified their vehicles substantially, adding monster wheels, jet engines and high-powered electric motors to propel their C5s at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).

Designed by ecentric technology millionaire, Sir Clive Sinclair, the C5 was designed to take advantage Uk road rules. Designed to not exceed 15 mph (24km/h) and to be driven without a driver's licence.
The C5 was envisioned to help reduce inner-urban road congestion, however, certain aspects of the designed failed to meet customer requirements for weather protection, occupant crash protection and protection from the vehicluar emissions from other road users. The project also suffered from the lack of development in battery technology (still a burden to would-be electric car makers).
Perhaps a vision of the motoring future held by today's Green Lobby (so watch out!).
