The Mariners Chapel in the centre of the main docks area of Gloucester Docks was built by public subscription and opened in 1849. The chaplain welcomed seamen visiting Gloucester, often going on board ships to spread the word of God, and he also cared for the interests of local boatmen and dockers. The building is still used for worship by a small congregation of local people, and it is usually open to visitors during the day.

Easily the most satisfying, yet most annoying 40 bucks I ever spent, both at the same time: Cancelling the subscription of Photoshop. "Imma give it a try, and if I don't like it, I'll just unsubscribe and keep using GIMP." Well, not so fast! Adobe have infamously driven that model to an extreme level, and it's slowly coming back to bite them. To be real, I find the idea of subscribing to products (which are now "services") rather scary anyway, no matter what it is.
In the past, when you were in trouble economically, you couldn't buy new things, including food, and clothes when they wore out, and other things that are, to varying degrees, essential. That was unpleasant enough. But the things you owned, had bought and paid for, they didn't go away. If ever more of the economy turns to subscription models, and I mean things way more essential than Photoshop or the seat heating in your car, that's bound to change. Life will be the point of a dagger slowly pushing towards, or indeed into your back. Always, whatever you do, wherever you go. You better not need to stop moving forward because you're not feeling well today, or need to tie a shoe lace, or need the toilet. Or because your boss isn't feeling well today. Or your customer. If any of that happens, you better have managed to get a bit of distance between yourself and the blade before it catches up with you.
Yet catch up it will, one way or another, one day or another. If nothing else, then during the next Lehman crisis or the next 9/11 or whatever there will be. Or maybe just because you said something your new cyber AI overlord doesn't agree with. You heretic!

REMARK:
Dr. John Glenn Dickson was a partner in the medical practice of Dr. J. V. Herriott in Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Herriott later moved to practice medicine in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. It is quite likely that this letter was sent to Dr. Dickson by Dr. Herriott.
The following biography of James Glenn Dickson appears in:
J. H. Beers Company. 1893. Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania. Chicago, Illinois: J. H. Beers and Company. 1,486 pp.
JAMES GLENN DICKSON, M. D., a resident for the past fifty years of Canonsburg, Penn., was born February 15, 1825, in what is now South Fayette township, Allegheny Co., Penn. His parents were William and Margaret (Glenn) Dickson.
Dr. Dickson traces his ancestry in a direct line through a period of over three hundred years, and the year 1893 enables him to look upon the faces of the tenth generation.
The earliest records, which have yet been obtained by Dr. Dickson, tell of one John Dickson, a merchant in Glasgow, Scotland, "a man of religious character and possessed of considerable wealth." This merchant with his good wife stirred up others to pray with and for them, that the blessing of a son might be given them, "vowing that if their petition was granted they would devote him to the service of the Lord." Such a son was the Rev. David Dickson, born possibly in 1591, probably as early as 1583, as the exact date can not positively be stated. He was educated in the University of Glasgow, where he became a professor in 1641, remaining in that position until 1651, where he accepted a similar position in the Edinburgh University. He was appointed minister to Irvine in 1618, and of him it has been said: "The Professor of Divinity at Edinburgh was truly a great man; the Professor of Divinity at Glasgow was a greater man; but the minister of Irvine was the greatest man of all." His repudiation of the Five Articles of Perth, as issued by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1618, won for him much persecution, as well as great honor. He was pre- eminently a scholar, a preacher, a worthy Scotchman, as his biography and writings show. In all there are seven works, the offspring of his master intellect, copies of three of which, with a sketch of his life issued by the committee of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, are in possession of Rev. David Craig Stewart, of Hoboken, N. J., and were obtained of him recently in Edinburgh.
Alexander Dickson, a son of Rev. David Dickson, wrote the dedication in 1664 to the English preface of his father's last work, calling it a child of his father's old age the English translation of Latin treatise on the subject of the Conscience; his father having died in 1663, probably eighty years old, certainly not younger than seventy-two. Another son of Rev. David Dickson was John, who became a merchant in Edinburgh, Scotland; and this John established his sons David and George in mercantile business in Armagh, Ireland, as a branch of the Edinburgh house.
The records show that three sons of the Armagh merchant, George Dickson, came to America, including the family also of one of these three, that of Andrew, who had married a Seceder girl in Armagh previous to his emigration, and whose family record (Andrew's) is preserved in a Bible which gives the date of birth of each of his ten children, and the record of the marriage of nine of these. This Andrew Dickson, of the fifth generation thus far traced, was great-grandfather of Dr. James G. Dickson of the eighth generation.
The six elder children of Andrew Dickson were born in Ireland between the years 1734 and 1743, and the other four were born in America near Chambersburg, Penn., where their father had settled. The eldest of the four born in this country was Andrew, whose birth was in 1748, and who died in service in the Revolutionary army. The Bible containing Andrew Dickson's family record is now over one hundred and sixty years old, and is in possession of Rev. David French Dickson, of East Palestine, Ohio, a nephew of Dr. Dickson. Andrew Dickson's children were named: Hannah, George, Jean, James, Esther, Sarah, Andrew, Agnes, Mary Ann and John. George Dickson, the eldest son and second child in this family, was the grandfather of the subject of this sketch. George Dickson was born December 7, 1735, and died in the fall of 1817. He married, in 1770, Rachel McKee, then twenty-nine years of age, a daughter of James McKee, of Chambersburg, Penn. In the summer of 1772 George came to Black Lick creek (now in Indiana county), accompanied by his younger brother, John, and bought 400 acres of land. There they built a cabin, cleared what land they could during the summer, and then went back to Chambersburg for the winter. In 1773 they returned and cleared more, and in 1774 George moved his family into the cabin. He continued to clear and cultivate the land until 1778, when, in the greatest haste, they were obliged to flee upon receiving news of the Wyoming massacre and near approach of the hostile Indians. With his wife and their small children, James, Andrew and Agnes, all mounted upon two saddle horses, they summarily returned across the mountains to Chambersburg. In 1782 George and his brother John again visited their property in western Pennsylvania to find everything in ashes. Coming southward to Pittsburgh, suitable land was found and purchased by George Dickson, it being some 440 acres on the north branch of Miller's run, and purchased from one Thomas Reed, an early settler, who held it under a patent grant. John Dickson went further west into Ohio, where he married and settled near Poland.
The family of George Dickson numbered eight children three sons and five daughters. These uncles and aunts to Dr. James Dickson were James, born January, 1772; Andrew, born May 27, 1775; Agnes, born February 27, 1777; Mary, born September 4, 1780; Rachel, born November 13, 1782; Hannah, born November 18, 1785; Elizabeth, born August 10, 1789; and William, the father of Dr. Dickson, born August 2, 1791. James, the eldest, married a Miss Frazee, and their family consisted of several daughters; James Dickson died in Cuyahoga county, Ohio. His brother, Andrew, also married a Miss Frazee, a sister of James' wife; Andrew died near DeKalb, Ohio, leaving a large family, chiefly sons. Agnes, the third child in George Dickson's family, died at the age of nineteen near Noblestown, Penn.; she had doubtless been named for her father's sister Agnes, the wife of Mr. Bryar, of Chambersburg. Mary, the fourth member of George Dickson's family, married Joseph Burnside, and resided near Canonsburg, where her death occurred at an advanced age, having for many years before her death been totally blind; her family numbered three daughters and one son, namely: Margaret Jane (recently deceased), the wife of Rev. David Thompson, D. D., of Monmouth, Ill.; Rachel, wife of John Foley; Mary Anne, now Mrs. Haslep, of near Monmouth, Ill.; and George Dickson Burnside, who died a few years since on his farm near Canonsburg. Rachel Dickson, the fifth in George Dickson's family, died near Scottsville, Penn., and was the wife of Solomon Irons; their family numbered six children, viz.: James, John, Rachel, William, Joseph and Andrew. Hannah, George Dickson's sixth child, became the wife of Andrew Henderson, and of their six children four were sons, named respectively: George, John, William and Ebenezer. Hannah Dickson Henderson died near Granville, Ill. The next younger sister was Elizabeth, the seventh child of George Dickson; she became the wife of James Stewart, and at her death which occurred near Clinton, Penn., left no family. The youngest child of the grandfather, George Dickson, was William, the father of Dr. James G. Dickson.
William Dickson was born in South Fayette township, Allegheny Co., Penn., in 1791. On the death of his father he came into possession of the homestead, and became one of the most successful farmers in his part of the country, one of his specialties being the rearing of fine-wool Merino sheep, his flock of such being the first introduced into his neighborhood. He was a man of exemplary piety, and honorable dealings with his neighbors. In the year of his father's death, 1817, he married, and was elected ruling elder, to fill the vacancy caused by his father's demise, in the Noblestown (Penn.) Associate (now United Presbyterian) congregation, which office he continued to fill until his death, which occurred March 18, 1872, in his eighty-second year. He resided all his life on the farm where his father had spent the last thirty-four years of his life. William Dickson was twice married, his first wife being Margaret Glenn, a daughter of James and Jennie (Buchanan) Glenn, who came to western Pennsylvania a few years subsequent to the arrival of William Dickson's parents. The Glenns came from Lancaster county and settled in Westmoreland (now Allegheny) county, prior to 1800. Margaret Glenn was born in Lancaster county, Penn., in 1791. The marriage of William Dickson and Margaret Glenn occurred in 1817. Their children were as follows: Jennie Glenn, born August 21, 1818, died in infancy, May 9, 1819; Rachel, born July 18, 1820; George, born October 8, 1822; James Glenn, born February 15, 1825; Joseph, born December 10, 1826, died February 9, 1827; Mary J., born April 28, 1828; Andrew and William A. (twins), born June 15, 1831 (Andrew died in infancy, May 5, 1832). The mother of these children died November 18, 1852, at the age of sixty-one years. For his second wife William Dickson married, in 1857, Susan Aikins, who preceded her husband a little over two weeks in entering the Heavenly home, her death occurring March 1, 1872, and their remains repose in the cemetery at Robinson Run church, where are also the remains of William Dickson's parents. Rachel, daughter of William Dickson, became the wife of Robert Potter, and with her two daughters, Maggie D. and M. Lulu, has resided near Noblestown since the death of her husband July 16, 1887.
George Dickson, elder brother of Dr. Dickson, was married to Margaret French, daughter of Rev. David French, D. D., and her son, Rev. David French Dickson, has been mentioned earlier in this sketch. George Dickson's second wife was Eliza Glenn, who left no family at her death. In November, 1892, occurred the death of Annie Rankin, third wife of George Dickson. James Glenn Dickson is the next younger brother, and to present his lineage is the design of this sketch. Mary J. Dickson, a younger sister, married James Clark, and resided in Buffalo township, Washington Co., Penn., until 1870, when they removed to Canonsburg, where her husband's death occurred December 18, 1885. Their family consisted of Nettie, who died in infancy; William Dickson Clark, whose wife (now deceased) was Mrs. Lizzie McKeown; Marguerite S., the wife of Culbert M. Greer; Anna Mary, the wife of Rev. David Craig Stewart; and James Addison Clark, who resides with his mother.
William A. Dickson, the youngest of his father's family, like his father, William Dickson, came into possession of the ancestral estate, where with his family he resided for many years until his removal to the McBurney farm near Midway, Washington Co., Penn. His wife was Elizabeth McBurney, daughter of Robert and Eliza (Welsh) McBurney. William A. Dickson's family of eight children are: Margaret, Elizabeth, Robert, Anna S., William, Agnes, Walter and Bertha. William A. Dickson has in his possession his mother's Bible inscribed as follows: "Margaret Glenn, her book August 12, 1812." which also contains record of the birth of each of Dr. Dickson's sisters and brothers. The ponderous volume "Boston's Complete Works" is in possession of Rev. David F. Dickson, and contains the annals previously quoted of Dr. Dickson's grandfather, George Dickson's family.
Dr. James Glenn Dickson was brought up on his father's farm in South Fayette township, Allegheny county, and received his primary education at the subscription schools of the neighborhood, which was supplemented by a few terms at the public school, and instruction under the preceptorship of Rev. John M. French, pastor of the Associate Church at Noblestown; then in 1843 he entered Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1847 under the presidency of Dr. Robert J. Breckenridge, of Kentucky. In 1848 he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. J. V. Herriott, of Canonsburg, attending during the winters of 1849-50 and 1850-51 Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Penn., where in the spring of 1851 he received his medical diploma. In the summer of that year he commenced the practice of his chosen profession at Mount Jackson, Lawrence Co., Penn., remaining there one year. Then at the solicitation of his preceptor, Dr. Herriott, he returned to Canonsburg and entered into a partnership with him, which existed about two years, at the end of which time Dr. Herriott removed to Philadelphia, Dr. Dickson continuing the practice alone in Canonsburg. Upon the return of his old partner, after an absence of several years, Dr. Dickson again associated with him, but at the end of three years Dr. Herriott moved to Valparaiso, Ind., since when our subject has been alone in his professional practice. He has enjoyed an unbroken, most successful practice of over forty years in Canonsburg, a longer period than has fallen to the lot of any other physician of the place.
Dr. Dickson was married September 4, 1856, to Margaret H. Buchanan, who was born February 28, 1828 in North Strabane township, Washington Co., Penn., a daughter of Alexander and Mary (Miller) Buchanan. Two children were born to Dr. Dickson and wife, viz.: Mary Jeannette and William Alexander, both living with their parents. William A. was married September 24, 1885, to Margaret Gabby Allison (daughter of Hon. Jonathan and Margaret (Gabby) Allison), whose death occurred September 6, 1886, followed six weeks later by the death of their infant daughter, Maggie Olive. On October 23, 1890, occurred the marriage of William A. Dickson and Mary Lizzie Martin, daughter of Dr. John W. and Elizabeth (Allison) Martin. Their infant daughters are Aneita Marie and Margaret Elizabeth, who, with their parents, are part of Dr. Dickson's household. The family are members of the United Presbyterian Church, the Doctor having united with it when it was known as the Associate Church. Politically, he was first an Old-line Whig, and, since the organization of the party, he has been a stanch Republican. The commodious family residence was built by the Doctor some eight years ago, on the corner of Pike street and Greenside avenue.
The years herein recounted bring the Dickson lineage through ten generations; of the tenth there are in direct line eight representatives, viz.: Three children of Rev. David F. and Annie M. (McCready) Dickson George, David and Zetta; three grandchildren of Mary J. (Dickson) Clark, viz.: Clark and Lucile Greer, son and daughter of Culbert Means Greer and Marguerite S. (Clark) Greer, and Anna Mary, daughter of Rev. David Craig Stewart and Anna M. (Clark) Stewart; added to these the Doctor's two grandchildren, before named (Aneita Marie and Margaret Elizabeth), and the eight representatives of the tenth generation from John Dickson, of Glasgow, Scotland, are recounted.
The Doctor is wedded to his profession, and as he is by nature, as well as by education, eminently qualified for his, the most benevolent of all professions, he commands and enjoys the respect and confidence of his many patrons.

Built by money raised through public subscription, the King Edward VII Sailors' Rest building stands on the corner of Moorabool and Brougham Streets in the Victorian city of Geelong.
Built in 1912 to the designs by the Geelong architect, Percy
Everett King Edward VII Sailors' Rest building stands looking out across the Corio foreshore, and is in the very heart of Geelong. The King Edward VII Sailors' Rest was an evangelical temperance organisation designed to provide welfare services to sailors; to attempt to divert them away from alcohol and other temptations of the town and to encourage them to return to or continue to practice Christianity. In order to attract more sailors to the 'Rest' an electric bulb sign was installed in 1926. The animated sign operated with flashing letters and words and was intended to be very noticeable from Yarra and Cunningham piers as the sailors disembarked. The sign was built by the nearby Melbourne Electric Supply Company and donated to the Sailors' Rest by Howard Hitchcock, former mayor of Geelong and Chairman of the Sailors' Rest Committee. The sign is understood to have ceased operation from the 1950s until 1997 when it again operated but without animation.
The King Edward VII Sailors' Rest building is designed in Federation Free Classical style, an architectural movement which, like its Victorian counterpart, broke with the traditions and rigours of academic classical style. The style was known for its self confidence and expressed the growing prosperity of society. The King Edward VII Sailors' Rest building facade features a parapet concealing a roof, contrasting materials with varying textures and a prominent corner tower, all of which are characteristics of the Federation Free Classical style of architecture.
Percy Edgar Everett (1888 - 1967) was born in Geelong. He was appointed chief architect of the Victorian Public Works Department in 1934 and he is best known for the striking Modernist and Art Deco schools, hospitals, court houses, office buildings and technical colleges the department produced during his tenure. Percey Everett's other architectural works include; the Fairfield Club House (1934), the Essendon technical School (1939), the Camberwell Police Station (1939) and the Russell Street Police Headquarters (1940 - 1943).

The side of the Manor House down the passageway to the side of it (leads to the back of the Touchwood Centre and to the Solihull Council House). On Manor Walk.
The Manor House was built in about 1495 by the Greswold Family. It was save for public subscription in 1945.
The timber framed Manor House on Solihull High Street was built in approximately 1495 and is Grade II* listed. It has never been home to the Lord of the Manor so it isn't a manor house in the traditional sense.
It was once owned by the Greswolde family, it was known in the 19th century as Lime Tree House due to the nine lime trees that had been planted outside it in 1720. For many years it was the surgery of local doctors Ferdinand Page and his son Ericson.
The building was purchased by a brewery in 1938, and plans to turn it into a public house were shelved after the Second World War. During the War the building was used as the local headquarters by the Home Guard (as in Dads Army).
In 1945 the house was sold, being purchased by a trust with funds raised through public subscription, and it was eventually used as a community association, and then as a adult and social centre.
These days, The Manor House tearoom, serving hot and cold snacks and cake. It also has small stalls, and they sometimes have cosmetics and perfume on sale there (apparently - I haven't been into look). It's nearby the Touchwood Centre.
At 126 High Street, Solihull.

Ridley Memorial
Erected by public subscription
John Ridley, National Benefactor 1806 –1887
The reaping machine invented by John Ridley in 1843 so reduced the cost of harvesting as to make available immense areas of land for agriculture. Thus increasing the industry, commerce and wealth of Australia. In declining to patent his invention Ridley manifested great unselfishness and noble patriotism.
Opening Ceremony
The Gates of this Memorial were formally opened on 1st September 1933 by His Excellency the Governor of South Australia Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven VC KCMG GB DSC. Ref: Gate Plaque - transcription.
What John Ridley did for South Australia
By Stephen Parsons
Memorial Gate to be erected
This dignified and ornate structure is to be known as the Ridley memorial entrance. Messrs Lawson & Cheeseman, of Adelaide, are the architects, and a tender has been accepted for the work, which will be completed before the date of the next September Show. This will serve to perpetuate the memory of Ridley and his work to succeeding generations.
By a happy coincidence, the Showgrounds at Wayville is directly opposite the scene of the first public trial of the reaping machine, made in December, 1843. Ref: Chronicle (Adelaide) 4-5-1933.
John Ridley brought from England one of Watt’s beam steam engines. It was installed at Hindmarsh and there the first flour was ground from South Australian wheat. His connection with farmers resulted in his wondering whether it would not be possible to invent a machine which would materially simplify harvesting. Other people talked, but he concentrated on the problem and eventually, to the astonishment of everybody, solved it.
When the first trial took place we can in imagination see the harvest field and hear the farmers discussing Mr Ridley and his wonderful machine. But we have more than imagination to go on. Mr F S Dutton, in his book on the early days of this State, gives a most interesting account of what he saw “One afternoon during the summer of 1843-4," he says, "some friends met me in Adelaide and asked me to join them in their ride to a neighbouring farm, where Mr Ridley's reaping machine, which they said both reaped and threshed the corn at the same time, was successfully at work. It was not generally known at that time what the machine was, and, although we were all incredulous, we started to see with our own eyes how far the reports we had heard were correct. By the time we reached the farm a large field had mustered to witness the proceedings: and there, sure enough, was the machine at work, by the agency of two horses and two men, one to guide the horses, the other the machine. There was no mistake about it—the heads of the corn were threshed off perfectly clean: and a winnowing machine being at hand, the corn was transferred out of the reaper into the latter machine, and carts were ready to convey the cleaned wheat to the mill two miles off where the wheat, which an hour before was waving in the fields in all the lustre of gold tints, was by Mr Ridley's steam engine ground into flour."
Governor's Tribute
A little later the first show of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society was held, when a special prize of 10 guineas was offered for a reaping machine and was, of course, won by Mr Ridley. In presenting the prize, the Governor, Sir George Grey, said—"l am peculiarly gratified in having this opportunity of expressing my opinion of the value of Mr Ridley's machine, which I have very carefully inspected. I am firmly convinced that it will be of the utmost importance to the agriculturists of this country, as it will enable them successfully to compete in corn with any part of the world."
The members of the Society did not content themselves with the presentation of a prize to Mr Ridley, but when the machine had been in successful operation for ten years they carried the following resolution, which is certainly a splendid tribute and one most richly deserved: —"Resolved that, in the opinion of this Society, the introduction of the reaping machine invented by John Ridley, of Hindmarsh, has been of the utmost importance to the practical development of the agricultural capabilities of South Australia, and this meeting believes that it expresses the unanimous sense of the colonists of the great and lasting benefits which Mr Ridley has thereby conferred upon the community. The gracious manner in which Mr Ridley contributed to the public his admirable machine by refusing to secure for himself either a monopoly of or a money profit by its manufacture, deserves to be recorded by this society. It presents for his acceptance its hearty and grateful thanks, with every good wish, for his further prosperous career."
I cannot refrain from quoting from a letter by Governor Grey to Miss Ridley. Here are his words:—"It was then that your father showed himself the greatest benefactor of the country by inventing the first reaping machine which was peculiarly adapted to the climate and soil of South Australia. He often conversed with me while he was constructing his machine, for I ever regarded him as a friend, and as one of those eminent men whom South Australia was so fortunate in numbering among its first settlers. He gave his invention to all his fellow citizens, to be a free blessing to the entire colony. May his name ever be held in reverence for this noble act." Ref: Advertiser (Adelaide) 2-9-1933.
The Grade II Listed Old Bell Chapel [...] was erected by public subscription in 1806 as a chapel of ease to Bradford Parish Church, which is recorded on a plaque on the northern gable end. At the apex of this gable is a large circular ashlar panel inscribed Joseph Beanland, John Blamires – Churchwardens and dated 1808. This panel was intended for a clock, but one was never added. The chapel was built without a tower as the ground below the site had been mined and a tower would have been prone to subsidence or collapse. The Old Bell Chapel was used as an Anglican place of worship from its construction until the building of the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist in 1871, although this function was reprised during 1956-8 following a fire which gutted the church. The Old Bell Chapel narrowly avoided being quarried for stone to construct a boundary wall to the Parish Church and from 1875 was used as an infants’ day school. The main block of the Old Bell Chapel is very simple in shape and its large mass and restrained detailing mean that it looks more like a mill or a giant barn than a place of worship. The longer sides consist of five well spaced bays of windows which are tall at ground floor level and are squat and almost square at first floor level. The floors are separated by a plat band which is broken at the southern gable end by a large Venetian window with radial glazing to the head of the central light. A projecting band across this gable end forms a simple pediment, another Classical motif. The stone roof is coped and dentil blocks carry the gutter with an eaves band below. The principal entrance to the building was originally at the northern gable end where there is a cornice hood on scrolled consoles over the former main doorway.
