The building was designed by William Hill of Leeds in the neoclassical style built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1859.
Awaiting the arrival of one hundred thousand fans and the victorious Heart of Midlothian team Routemaster no. 1, JSJ 749 (AEC R2RH Park Royal) is painted especially for this great Sunday for all of Edinburgh to celebrate (well perhaps half of Edinburgh then!).
This bus had earlier been made-over in white and the painting of the wheels and adding of vinyls would commence after the result of the match at Hampden on Saturday. With around ten minutes left to play the result was 5-1 and a BBC commentator told a stunned viewing audience that a bus was being especially painted for the victory parade - it is assumed work was well under way before the match reached its conclusion given the result.
This photo is missing something....of course it's the victorious team who were about to climb aboard for the huge crowds that would greet them in the procession through the town and down to Gorgie.

Guildhall, Portsmouth. The building, which was designed by William Hill in the Neo-classical style, was officially opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales on 9 August 1890. Gutted by incendiary bombs on the night of 10th January 1941, it was not until June 1959 that the restoration (to the design of Ernest Berry Webber and minus a spire on the tower) was complete and the building reopened. The Guildhall now operates as a concert, theatre, wedding and conference venue, the main hall has a partially standing capacity of up to 2,500 for concerts.

For the lasr two years we had wagered (pardon the pun to come) that this was the wedding of Hilda Grubb to Willliam Hill on 29 July 1907, that was until we heard from cookhamish83 a great nephew of William, denying that it was him in this photo and another related photo.
As you can see from the older notes below we did have the idea that this may be the wedding of Eva Lucy Grubb, on the occassion of her marriage to Gilbert Southall on 12 April 1900 and having asked a few followere to review the work of 2 years ago we are now sure that it is the Grubb - Southall wedding.
Our thanks as always to Bernard Healy sharon.corbet derangedlemur for their help in confirming these corrections.
Older description below
I always love a good wedding photo and this is one of the best you will find. The date range of 1901 to 1954 should be narrowed very quickly and I do hold out the hope of you getting the exact day correct. I also expect the names of some of the participants to be discovered. The bride has a big job on her hands, it will be difficult to fling that beautifully arranged bouquet over her shoulder!
John Spooner, sharon.corbet and Niall McAuley found the critical location, date and subject "evidence" on this one. In short, while this could be Eva Lucy Grubb, on the occassion of her marriage to Gilbert Southall on 12 April 1900, the general consensus is that it is more likely to be a photo of the marriage of her sister Hilda Grubb in 1907. John Spooner provides details of Hilda's marriage to William Hill on 29 July 1907, paraphrasing a report from the Waterford Standard that the:
marriage between William Hill of Belmont Lodge, Waterford and Miss Hilda M Grubb, eldest daughter of Mr J H Grubb of Bruce Villa, Clonmel. The marriage was celebrated at 9 a.m. the previous Monday [29th July] at the Friends' Meeting House, Clonmel. After the wedding breakfast and reception Mr and Mrs William Hill left for Dublin and the Island of Achill, where they intended to spend some weeks.
sharon.corbet also provided confirmation that this picture was taken at the Grubb's homestead at Bruce Villa in Clonmel.....

258 Pentonville Road was a branch of William Hill bookies that closed in 2017. Briefly back in 2013 their signage was temporarily removed to reveal a previous occupant of No.258 as The Carlton Hairdressing Saloon.
A revolutionary day has dawned on the South Notts 1 corridor.... New buses!! The first new buses purchased for the route since 1997!!
Gone are the clunky and relatively uncomfortable 53 plate OmniDekkas (which were never ideal for the length and time of the route), and in come seven 15 plate Enviro 400 Scanias, all boasting dual purpose seating, free wifi, additional pushchair/wheelchair space, new flooring and even new ticket machines!!
643 arrives in with the first ever South Notts 1 to be operated by Enviro 400 Scanias on a short working from Gotham Depot, pictured at 0529 with the first 1 of the day to Loughborough via Clifton, Gotham and East Leake. The time is actually reflecting through the window above Coral/William Hill from the Council House, which is just across the Old Market Square.

The old Boots chemists store on the corner of High Street and Tower Square (former market place) in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
This Victorian structure with a nod towards Georgian style, was built on the corner of the old market square (to the right), many of the buildings of which date back to around 1816.
The company signs were fixed to the arched pediments, evidence of which can still be seen on the left or High Street side.
Unfortunately, this building is indicative of the poor state of much of the High Street and surrounding area, which seems to have occurred as shoppers have migrated to the city centre of Hanley.
Former Liverpool Union Bank/Lloyds Bank (1899 - 1968) 133 Upper Stanhope Street, Toxteth.
The Bookmakers who occupied the building have moved out now but the upper floors are occupied.
Lady's Bridge a Grade II Listed Structure and the oldest bridge across the River Don in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It is located in the central section of the city, linking the Wicker to the north with Waingate to the south.
The original wooden bridge was constructed sometime after 1150 under the orders of William de Lovetot, the Norman baron who had also built Sheffield Castle along with the town's first church, hospital, and corn mill.
In 1485 the Vicar of Sheffield, Sir John Plesaunce, and William Hill, who was a master mason, both agreed to build a bridge of stone "over the watyr of Dune neghe the castell of Sheffeld" at a cost of about £67 (£33,538.86 in today's money). The bridge had five arches, and was 14.5 feet (4.4 m) wide. A small chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built close to the bridge, and the bridge became known as 'Our Lady's Bridge'. When built it could only be crossed by pedestrians as there were steps at either end. The chapel was converted for use as a wool warehouse in 1547, to prevent its demolition as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII, and was subsequently used as an Alms house.
In 1760 the bridge was widened on the upstream side, and the Alms House was demolished to make way for the new structure. The bridge was widened on the downstream side in 1864, virtually obscuring the remaining original structure from view, and again in 1909, to allow trams to cross the bridge.
On the night of 11 March 1864 Lady's Bridge narrowly avoided destruction when the waters of the Great Sheffield flood poured over it. Nearly every other bridge upstream in the path of the flood had been smashed by the waters and the debris that they carried.
During the 2007 United Kingdom floods, Sheffield was badly hit, and Lady's Bridge and the Wicker in particular. Lady's Bridge was overwhelmed with water as it, the Wicker and the Blonk Street Bridge were flooded, and Lady's Bridge itself was at one point reported to be in danger of collapse.
This Sunday belonged to Hearts but perhaps even more it was Edinburgh's day. Not being a football fan of any team myself I still adorned my maroon colours to be part of this glorious occasion. It would for me have been equally glorious had Hibs won the Cup Final and I could have worn my green scarf!
This was a day to get Routemaster no. 1 (JSJ 749) in the sunshine with an estimated 100,000 people all around the city centre. I love crowd scenes and wanted to record images where there were as many people everywhere as possible with Lothian's special bus the centre of attention.
Heart of Midlothian's magnificent team cheered and waved at us as much as we did back to them along the special route from St Giles Cathedral at Ediinburgh's City Chambers right down to Gorgie Road for a celebratory rally in the ground itself at Tynecastle.
Behold the silver trophy with Paulo Sergio and his team in jubilation. This bus has been painted in the Hearts colours especially for the occasion.
William Hill, along with David Barron, stole champagne and was charged for the theft and sentenced to 6 months in prison.

Aberdeen had beautiful sunshine from early morning and finally rested late evening today.
I planned a route with various areas to visit between Aberdeen and Peterhead , looking out for new photo opportunities and update some that I've already covered .
After a few stops and a couple of hundred captures later I left Boddam just outside of Peterhead , this scene presented itself .
Five beautiful mares grazing in a field , with the sun lighting up the scene .
I grabbed the Nikon and snapped away , loads of great photos though only posting a few to share on Flickr for the horse lovers .
As a nature lover myself it was a great 45 minutes or so , the black horse cantered, raced across the field and then had a good scratch , was a memory to archive and made my day .
A first pass at Darkfield Lighting.

Written on the verso: Olive Chatfield, now Sister Mary Olive, at the convent of Mt. St. Vincent, N.Y. Took the black veil July 1887.
Olive Chatfield was born circa 1864 in New York, the daughter of David Henry Chatfield (1834-1905) and Julia (last name unknown, born circa 1833). In 1870, Olive was living in Huntington, Connecticut with her parents and a brother, Henry Chatfield. Her father was listed as a master machinist, and the family had real estate valued at $3,000 and a personal estate of $5,000. In 1880, the family was living in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Olive and Henry were at school. David Chatfield was listed as a coal dealer. According to the cabinet card, Olive became Sister Mary Olive, of the Sisters of Charity, in 1887. The Mt. Saint Vincent convent was in Riverdale, NYC, where the College of Mt. Saint Vincent is now located. Sister Mary Olive Chatfield passed away on 26 July 1898.
William Hill of Glenelg. He was the owner of Glenara House on the South Esplanade which was built in 1873.
Hill was made a Justice of the Peace at Glenelg in 1875. He died in 1885 and his estate was valued at just under £25,000. Hill owned a house called Crowsnest at Mt Barker on eight acres which he used as his summer residence. He also owned property at Norwood and also in the city of Adelaide and blocks of land in Edithburgh on Yorke Peninsula. He was a shareholder in Parkside Tramway, the Port Pire North Land Company, a tin mine in the Northern Territory etc. William Hill married one of the daughters of John Dunn the flour miller of Mt Barker. William Hill became partner in Dunn Milling Company with his father-in-law as the main shareholder. The Dunn Milling Company had flourmills across South Australia in the late 19th century. During his life William Hill was a successful wheat and grain agent in his own right as well as his work with Dunn Milling. He had three daughters and no sons. His wife died at Glenara in 1912. The property remained in the possession of William Hill’s descendants until the 1990s.

22799 came from Hull in 2012 along with 22797, 22798 and also 22800 and 22831 from Lincoln when Stagecoach went to war with Trent over Pronto, initially running five minutes in front of their journeys, but then finding common ground again in 2013, with Trent and Stagecoach working together to offer a 10 minute headway between Nottingham and Mansfield, working through to Chesterfield every 30 minutes.
22775 was brand new to Mansfield in 2009 in the batch 22772-8, which were purchased to oust the aging R---LSO ALX200 bodied Darts from Pronto, which also saw the frequency increase from every 20 minutes to every 15 on the busiest stretch.
The batch from Hull/Lincoln are on borrowed time, as a recent batch of 64 plate E300s has been introduced to replace them, which will make the Pronto line-up a fully leather seated service. These will all be returning to Hull once repaints of 22772-7 have finished.
22799 leads 22775 through Sherwood towards Mansfield and Chesterfield on Pronto.
The old Boots Dispensing Chemists store on the corner of High Street and Tower Square (formerly Market Plave) in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
Boots opened this store, with a slight nod to Georgian style, back in 1896. Like much of the rest of the town it's lost its past splendour.
You can still see where the old sign was attached on the pediment, a similar sign was attached to the right hand pediment and a Boots sign below the clock.
It really was a rather grand looking shop in its day.
This corner plot was occupied by William Hill Bookmakers back in 2014.
Here is a link to a shot of the building back in 1951, a very different era for Tunstall. www.linkedin.com/posts/boots_togetheratboots-archive-brit...
