Photograph of the construction of Keighley town centre's new shopping precinct, carried out by Token Construction. Shows Phase 5 work carried out on 1st July 1969. The photograph was taken by Robert Long.
Bob (Robert) Long (Facebook page, April 2021): "I took this photo of the town centre re-development. There should be about 200 photos in all, but I haven't got a clue where they would be now. They were taken for Seymour & Harris architects in London. This was a three year contract I had with them, from foundations to finished shop fronts. Looking at the date on the photographs I was 19 at the time and just starting my photographic business. A friend of mine, a Mr Bill Cusker, was the site supervisor for Token Construction Company and got me the job of photographing the redevelopment site. I had to climb up scaffolding onto top of the rooves to get the best shot required. The shots of Cavendish Street were taken from the top floor of the Cavendish Hotel by kind permission of the then landlord. The contract was to take photographs once a month to show the progress of the construction for the architects. I did this for about two years until the shops were ready for occupancy."

The driver of BR Standard 4MT 2-6-4T No.80104 reaches out to the signalman for the single-line token to Norden
The token system was developed in Britain in the 19th century, to facilitate safe working of single-line railways. If a branch line is a dead end with a simple shuttle train service, then a single token is sufficient. The driver of any train entering the branch line (or occupying any part of it) must be in possession of the token, and no collision with another train is possible. For convenience in passing it from hand to hand, the token was often in the form of a staff, typically 800 mm long and 40 mm diameter, and is referred to as a train staff. Such a staff is usually literally a wooden staff with a brass plate stating the two signal boxes between which it is valid.
In UK terminology, this method of working on simple branch lines was originally referred to as One Engine in Steam (OES), and later One Train Working (OTW). However the system was used on long through lines as well; R H Dutton, Chairman of the London and South Western Railway explained in 1876 the slow journey time between Exeter and Plymouth by saying, "the cause of the delay is the stopping at every station on the staff system. That really does cause a great delay because if the staff is not there, the train must stop while a man is sent on a horse to get it [from the other end of the section]"; quoted in Williams.

Winston Churchill's sister locomotive No. 10 Dr. Syn, on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. The route is mainly single-track, so part way along our route we have to cross this train coming the other way. The two drivers swap the tokens giving them each permission to be on the respective single-track section.

Vaious tokens of appreciation were left at each author's grave. Although Alcott's had some coins and flowers, people left notes for her. I didn't see letters at any of the other author's graves.

A copper halfpenny coin known as a provincial token. This token was issued and circulated within Leek, Staffordshire in 1793.
Provincial tokens were coins minted by private individuals from the late 18th century in response to a chronic lack of small denomination coins in Britain. This was caused by limited penny production by the Royal Mint from the 1660s onward.
This particular token was produced by the town of Leek and circulated within the local area. The coin was used in lieu of official coinage, and was understood within Leek to have had a value equivalent to half a penny. This allowed trade to continue within the town despite the lack of legitimate currency.
The obverse of the coin features a caduceus staff (a classical symbol of commerce), resting against a bale of goods, representing Leek's textile and cotton industries. Encircling the image is the legend: "LEEK COMMERCIAL HALFPENNY." and the date "1793".
The reverse of the coin features two clasped hands in front of an olive branch. The reverse is encircled by the motto of Leek: "ARTE FAVENTE NIL DESPERANDUM" (Our skill assisting us, we have no cause for despair).
Running around the rim of the coin is the text : "PAYABLE AT LEEK STAFFORDSHIRE."
This is one of two Leek provincial halfpenny tokens in Lichfield's collection (1983.36.6 and 1983.36.7).
Prison Reformist. Having visited several hundred prisons across England, Scotland, Wales and wider Europe, Howard published the first edition of The State of the Prisons in 1777. It included very detailed accounts of the prisons he had visited, including plans and maps, together with detailed instructions on the necessary improvements. It is this work that has been credited as establishing the practice of single-celling in the United Kingdom. By 1784, Howard calculated that he had travelled over 42,000 miles (68,000 km) visiting prisons. He had been awarded an honorary LLD by the University of Dublin and had been given the Freedom of the City of London. While in the Ukraine, Howard contracted typhus on a prison visit and died, aged sixty-three.
