Der Wappenfelsen Chessiloch - Kessiloch befindet sich in der Nähe von Grellingen im
Laufental des Kanton Basel Land der Schweiz
.

.
Diese in der Schweiz einmalige Gedenkanlage schufen militärische Einheiten in ihren
Mussestunden während des 1.Weltkrieges 1914 - 1918.
Die beiden E.isenbahnbrücken über die B.irs wurden aus Angst vor den D.eutschen
T.ruppen bewacht.
Man glaubte, die B.ahnlinie würde für deren T.ransporte zwischen Basel - D.elsberg -
B.onfol - F.rankreich benützt.
Die beiden Brücken wurden durch ein Mineur - Detachement mit Minenkammern an den
Pfeilern ausgerüstet und entsprechend geladen. Landsturm - Soldaten des Bat.25 aus
dem D.orneck und dem T.hierstein, also aus der Nachbarschaft, waren die ersten Be-
wacher im Kessiloch.
Die Soldaten hausten in bescheidenen Unterkünften neben der Wappenanlage ( in
B.aracken ) und auf der Strassenseite ( Nordseite ) in einer kleinen F.elshöhle mit
abschliessendem Mauerwerk.
Diese H.öhle ist heute durch das östliche Lager der hinteren S.trassen - B.ahnbrücke
verbaut.
Während den 4 Kriegsjahren, 1914 - 1918, haben gegen 60 verschiedene Einheiten im
Kessiloch ihren Wachtdienst bei jedem W.etter absolviert.
Bedeutende Maler und Bildhauer schufen diese Wappenanlage mit den Felsmalereien
und Steinen. Bildhauer Kaiser aus B.iel schuf die Skulpturen von General Wille, Oberst
Sprecher, Generalstabschef und des Kommandanten der zweiten Division, Oberst De
Loys.

Brückenwache im Kessiloch August 1914

Die Bewachung der K.essilochbrücken wurde militärisch als ausserordentlich wichtig er-
achtet. Die B.rücke wurde deshalb Tag und Nacht streng bewacht. Die J.uralinie war eine
wichtige Verbindung zu den Grenztruppen in der A.joie.
Kein Zivilist durfte sich in der Nähe aufhalten oder gar der B.rücke nähern. Die Schild-
wache hatte strenge Anweisung, alle stehenbleibenden Passanten aufzufordern, sofort
weiterzugehen.
Ein etwas schüchterner Soldat, der die Wichtigkeit seiner Aufgabe noch nicht ganz erfasst
hatte, löste seinen Kameraden bei der Wache ab. Es war eine dunkle und neblige N.acht,
die dem Wachtposten, der einsam auf der Brücke stand, wohl etwas Furcht eingeflösst
haben mag.
Plötzlich hört er jemand durch die düstere N.ebelnacht auf sich zukommen. Es ist sein
Offizier, der die Wachtposten kontrolliert. Der Soldat atmet beruhigt auf, schmetterte
einen zünftigen Gewehrgriff und meldete vorschriftsgemäss seinen „Vers".
Doch der Offizier wollte sich vergewissern, ob der Mann begriffen hat, weshalb er hier
stehen muss und fragte ihn nach seinem Wachtbefehl. Der etwas verängstigte Mann
stotterte: „Herr Lütnant, ich muess uffpasse. ..uffpasse, dass ich nit undere Z.ug chumm "

Vor dem Rastplatz liegen einige rot - braune ovale Steine. Es handelt sich dabei um Bunt-
s.andsteingeröll aus dem S.chwarzwald, es sind die Reste einer pliozänen Flussab-
lagerung. Es sind sogenannte Wanderblöcke.
An der Felswand der Wappenanlage, wo das Wappen des Kantons T.hurgau angebracht
ist ( mit dem Text „Thurgau du Heimat" ) und links des grossen Wappenfelsens ist eine
Rinne im Felsen, die von O.st nach W.est verläuft. Daran sieht man, dass ein F.luss-
System von O.st nach W.est die Felspartien ausgewaschen hat.
Wann dies geschehen ist, kann allerdings nicht mit Bestimmtheit gesagt werden. Es muss
aber vor Jahrmillionen gewesen sein.
Die Talfurche der B.irs ist zwischen Jahrmillionen und vor 230'000 Jahren entstanden.
Längs der B.irs sind die sog. Hoch- und Niederterassen - Schotter im Taleinschnitt belegt.
Das bedeutet: Das Birstal existierte zur Zeit der Ablagerung dieser Schotter bereits als Tal.
Diese Schotter entstanden während der letzten Eiszeit und zwar im Vorfeld der G.letscher.
Das beweist, dass die Anlage der Talfurche vor rund 230'000 Jahren erfolgt sein muss.

Wapping Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the north, Queens Dock to the south. Kings Dock was originally located to the west, but has since been filled in.
The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel.
The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 metres long and consisting of five separate sections. Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.

I was in the city centre today for a meeting, luckily I had my camera. But only 2 minutes of spare time to capture the early morning mist around the Albert Dock.
My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Day seven. Luckily we made it time to check in before 11pm. We arrived at 10:58. Today we are taking a look around Bristol harbour area before making our way to Wales. We had a few heavy showers.
The Bristol Harbour Railway is a heritage railway in Bristol, England operated by Bristol Museums Galleries & Archives. It runs for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) along the south side of Bristol Harbour, starting at M Shed (the former Bristol Industrial Museum), stopping at the SS Great Britain, and ending at B Bond Warehouse (home of the Create Centre), one of the large tobacco warehouses beside Cumberland Basin.
The original Bristol Harbour Railway was a joint venture by the GWR and sister company the Bristol and Exeter Railway, opened in 1872 between Temple Meads and the Floating Harbour. Its route included a tunnel under St Mary Redcliffe church and a steam-powered bascule bridge over the entrance locks at Bathurst Basin. In 1876 the railway was extended by 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) to Wapping Wharf.
By Act of Parliament of 1897, the GWR was authorised to make a westwards connection between the BHR and the Portishead Railway, and then create the West Loop at Ashton Gate which would face south towards Taunton and Exeter St Davids. This connection would allow a doubling of BHR rail access capacity to the Great Western main line. In 1906 this authorised extension was constructed, with new branches from the south via the Ashton Swing Bridge were built to: Canons Marsh on the north side of the Floating Harbour; and to Wapping via a line alongside the New Cut.
The Temple Meads connection was closed and the track lifted in 1964 (the bascule bridge engine survives in Bristol Museums). The Canons Marsh branch closed the following year, with the Canons Marsh goods shed is now the home of Explore At-Bristol, a hands-on science centre. The Western Fuel Company continued to use the branch from the Portishead line and Wapping marshalling yard for commercial coal traffic until 1987.

iPhone 11 Pro & HDR shots of Wapping Road First School & Swimming Pool & next door (on the same site) Wapping Road Boarding School, Wapping Road, Bradford.
Wapping First School was the country's first school with a swimming pool & the pool is (argued to be) the first swimming pool to be built in the country (if this is not the case, it’s certainly one of the first 5). Wapping Road School opened in 1877. The historic pool, which can still be seen fully intact today, although in the basement of an extremely derelict site, measures 14 metres x 5 metres, shallow end 2ft 6 & deep end 3ft 6- so not very long & incredibly shallow, (as can be seen in my photos) & was used by children from schools across the Bradford district who were bussed into Wapping to learn to swim. Wapping School aimed to cater for the educational needs of a close-knit but poor neighbourhood and went on to receive commendation from HM Inspector of Schools.
The school created national & international headlines with the help of education campaigner Margaret McMillan & her partner (LGBTQ+ friendly here!) & her push to improve the life of children in the education & state system. (I believe she was also the person who helped to begin free school meals, as well as kickstart the kind of scholarships that are available for students from families with smaller incomes, to enable them to attend a grammar/ boarding/ elitist school/ college/ university, without having to pay their massive fees).
The Grade II listed building closed as a school in August 2000 & was badly hit by vandalism including a series of fires, with the roof being damaged & most of the interior features destroyed over the years. Many floors are completely destroyed, the roof is non- existent over most of the building & much of the building is now a shell, where there were once multiple floors (basement/ pool, teaching areas & (depending on which building) dorms (for boarding) or storage areas, all the floors are fully exposed, ie, stand at the exterior looking in, you can look down through the ground level to the basement & look up to the sky with nothing but interior walls (some places not even that) between. Much of the main timber support beams have fallen & the interior brickwork warped at terrible (& dangerous angles), existing floors are either support beam only, concrete or just have a few warped floorboards only. It seems only the external stone still exists in much of the building, but to my (non expert) opinion, this is now heavily at risk. Sadly there has been much drug use in the area & especially the area around the exterior & interior of the pool are littered by used needles. (Being disabled I am always very careful, as well as dressing bright clothing, park directly outside & go in there in daylight & never alone, like to prove I am not adding to any antisocial activity in the property, nor do I want to come across any antisocial behaviour myself, especially not at night) I felt unsafe to enter most of this building. Now although I could’ve gone into to the swimming pool area, which being in the basement seemed intact floor wise (concrete & the tiles remained, for what I could see) unfortunately there were so many needles I don’t want to risk it, with it being so dark. There is also the upper floor caving into the pool badly & 1 massive wooden support beam that’s already fallen into the pool area- I don’t want to be in a building collapse! It looks like it would’ve been a terrifying place to learn to swim, with it being in the basement, so dark, narrow, shallow, no doubt freezing in winter & no doubt very echoey, as well as possibly being able to hear the active school day going on above your head! I just hope it was well lit!.
In 2004 plans to convert the building into apartments were approved, but work never began, being Grade II listed but then so badly damaged, most want to demolish & rebuild on the site. I’m led to believe it’s now owned by the neighbouring Life Centre (formerly known as the Abundant Life Church) who would love to make it into teaching areas & accommodation for their ever- growing college education centre, for pastoral studies.
The school building is a big part of Bradford’s Victorian heritage, it was also one of the earliest Board Schools after the 1870 Act. So I do hope they at least managed to save the exterior & the pool areas, there aren’t many pools now that are in basements (or with anything built overhead), but this could work for apartment or a halls of residence type building & the basement location & it’s small size would be more relative to a pool for this purpose & not get overcrowded. I drive by this location twice daily, 6 days per week, (taking Andy to work & bringing him home) so any changes & I can keep you all updated!

Wapping Road School, Bradford 1877 - 2000
Business As Usual
This important and historic school building has fallen into serious disrepair because of a protracted debate over its future between the owners Sphinx Commercial Ltd, and Council planners. An outline planning application for turning the Grade II listed building into apartments was submitted in 2004, before it was sold, but that has not yet been turned into reality. Since being in planning limbo for four years it has been struck by arsonists, thieves and vandals on several occasions. As a result, the school’s slate roof has been gutted and most of its interior features destroyed. It is now on the council’s Listed Building ‘At Risk’ register.
A Remarkable Heritage
Wapping Road School, built in 1877, was a ‘Board School’ under Bradford's very own W.E. Forster's Education Act of 1870.
The school’s distinguished 123-year history saw it play a leading role in the development of state education. More than a century ago, the school created national and international headlines with the help of education campaigners Margaret and Rachel McMillan and their push to improve the lot of children in the state system. Their influence helped bring the country’s first school swimming pool to Wapping Road school and nearby Green Lane School in 1899.
Bradford was a grim place for the poor in the 19th Century, with a lot of extreme poverty. Children suffered in spite of the sacrifice by their parents. Also at this time, children were brought up from London workhouses to work in the mills. This is how the area of Wapping in Bradford got it’s name. Dirt and disease was a problem.
Right up to the early part of this century some children were ‘sewn up’ for the winter – wrapped in flannel which was then sewn into place and not removed until the warm weather came. Some parents thought that this was necessary because there was not enough food to keep a child warm otherwise.
