FORGOTTEN CORNERS

[Big Kev]

I'm sure my mother knitted some of these for me and my brother

And gloves on strings down the sleeves?



Roughlee mill about 1900. The date 1845 is the build......

Crankshaft for the big compound I was making in 2007. An impressive bit of turning even though I say it as shouldn't!
Never again.....

[Stanley]

Teatime at Hey Farm in 1976..... So much of our lives devolved around meals like this. Nowadays even the tablecloth is a rarity!

[Stanley]

Two of my favourite people on their wedding day. June and Steve Constantine. Steve was my main tutor at Lancaster and the reason why they are a forgotten corner is because Bob Bliss, who has been visiting Lancaster, told me that they have both succumbed to severe dementia and are so bad there was no point visiting even though he was a colleague for many years. Life can be very cruel.....

This is the stone trough that used to be on Whitemoor at the site of Lister Well.

I found this lavatory bowl in the old Colne Grammar School building. Can you think of a more inappropriate name?

[Stanley]

An old image of Colne. I don't know where it is or the exact date. Pre 1900?

[Wendyf]

It doesn't look like Colne Stanley.

[Stanley]

Do you know Wendy, it nagged me a bit as well but that's what I was told....
Perhaps Kev could treat us to one of his image searches?

[Wendyf]

I've tried that Stanley, and nothing comes up.

Reversing the image and running it through an AI search gives me the following, the source appears to be the Sedbergh & District History Society

This image shows Back Lane in the town of Sedbergh, located in Cumbria (formerly the West Riding of Yorkshire), England.
The photograph dates to 1890 and captures a scene from Victorian times. It features a narrow street with stone buildings and a group of local children posing for the camera. Notable details include:
Agricultural Equipment: A metal plow and other farming tools are visible in the foreground on the left.
Local Industry: To the right, a large wooden barrel sits outside a stone building, which may have been a local shop or workshop.
Architecture: The "Jackson's Buildings" can be identified in the background, which were significant structures in this part of the town.
As with all AI, there's no guarantee this information is correct.

[Stanley]

No but it makes sense Kev. I found I had this reverse version of the image also which I suspect is the correct one. The duck foot cultivator was what triggered me because I couldn't imagine there being arable land at Colne.

[Wendyf]

Well done Kev!
