As Blackadder said "the worst plan since Ethelred, king of the Vikings, ordered 50000 helmets with the spikes on the inside.......

And finally I did go back with something better than an Iphone and - yes, it does look like the word "Diesets":- However - most of the second "S" and the corner of the building were lost at some stage:- Viewed from Livery St the side of the building with "Taylor and Challen" on it looks as...

Better photos of Aston Signaling Centre taken from the end of Duddeston Station platform:-

I re-visited Miller St over the Xmas hols armed with my trusty 150-600mm lens, so was able to get some better closeups of the tram wires, etc:- However - Percy the Pigeon seems to have found a nice home in one of the end windows:-

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!! And - if you have 3 and a tanner to spare - don't forget to get one of these!

Thanks Mike. Looking at the other slides I would date these earlier now - possibly around 1965 as that was when the design of the Lunar Module was finalised but the Saturn V rocket was still being "adjusted". Incidentally, if you want to see how the Lunar Module WAS designed, try episode 3 of...

Found in the middle of 2 boxes of slides I am scanning for a relative:- I am guessing this dates from the late 1960s and was Sugar Puffs equivalent of a sweet cigarette card? Great so long as you owned a slide projector (go straight to Dixons and buy one if you did not......)

Hi Lyn - do you have any more "lost" photos of the Newtown area where you and me were brung up?
