Phil, Odd that you were actually expecting a parcel. Have the scammers got a fifth columnist working in Royal Mail? Maurice :cool:

Mike, Amazing and thanks for that news. Looks like the restaurant will remain on the top floor, but the roof will have changed to allow tables and chair outside. I just hope that they ensure that no one can jump - it's a long way down. The beauty section was always on the ground floor, but let...

The Debenhams in Bournemouth, formerly Bobby's Department Store way back in the 1930s, is six storeys and always had difficulties attracting customers to the upper floors. I can see that being demolished as it is an old & not pretty building. The end of an era, friends, and I can see massive...

As to these skycrapers, will they last even 50 years? With more and more companies saying that employees will only come into the office on two days per week, possibly less soon, computers will soon be rented cloud-based space and all we need is some shelving for paper-based files, perhaps in a...

Nichola, On this page http://www.oldladywood.co.uk/ there is a gold CONTACT button a little way down the page. Maurice :cool:

Many thanks, Janice, it's makes a nice change to see something repaired rather than destroyed. Maurice :cool:

In which case, the marriage possibly took place somewhere in Ireland, Janice. There are certainly less of the McDonaghs than I would have expected in relation to the other variants, Nothing either on familysearch, which is supposed to have Irish Civil BMD from 1845 onwards or on Scotland's...

And that's where we hit a problem because the only child's birth that is spot on is that of Annie:- 3rd Qtr 1883 Annie McDonagh (mother's maiden name MULVIHILL), Aston Reg Dist, Vol 6d Page 248 All the other children are nowhere near, McDONALD or McDONNELL, and with various mother's maiden...

Aaron, Here they are at 59 Springfield Street in 1939. Maurice :)

Smudger, Yes, the memory itself is quite small, it's just the connections and encapsulation that take the space. Maurice :cool:

Mort, That's very interesting and unless you need huge rigidity, then it's obviously wise to include as much empty space as you can in order to minimise resin usage. One more question, are you using freeware or paid for software? I like the Sandhills project. Maurice :cool:

cba, I can't see it changing here in Greece any time soon - the Registrars make great play of the signing ceremonies and love to get their pictures taken. A representative of the Council joins in on the act and gives the couple a gift too. Of course, he has to have his picture taken with the...

Brenda, Chester Street Locks - now I believe, from extrapolating from old maps, is "buried" under an industrial building. Lockkeeper was John Baizon - this was in 1881 & 1891. He is also listed as a lockkeeper in 1871 at Primrose Hill, Aston. Not sure whether that is or is not a different lock...

Mort, Intriguing and had I been a few years younger I would certainly have bought one. Not that much more expensive tham my A3 printer. What is the cost of the resin please? Maurice :cool:

Looks a very interesting group, Brenda, though I am not a fan of FaceBook. Lots of good pictures too. I must wade through to see if I can find a pic of my relations' lockkeepers cottage, now demolished. Thanks for posting. Maurice :cool:

But could also make people vulnerable if there was a real emergency. Putting all your eggs in one basket if some other country has a control of certain energy resources could be a bad move. Maurice :cool:

Bobby, A couple of years ago he was still on a Birmingham channel on Facebook, but sorry, I can't remember the name of the channel. Maurice :cool:

Lovely view of the old library there, Steve. Maurice :cool:

Here you are, Nico:- Maurice :cool:
