UK Heritage & Nostalgia: Newspaper Stamps - now just a memory
http://uk-heritage.blogspot.com/2007/10/newspaper-stamps.html
Friday, 26 October 2007. Newspaper Stamps - now just a memory. The stamps shown here are from my own collection, rescued from the waste paper bin at. These examples date from the introduction of decimal currency as can be seen by the new values overprinted on older issues. ANGLIAN WRITER (aka Wordrover). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

UK Heritage & Nostalgia: A Restored Picture Palace
http://uk-heritage.blogspot.com/2007/10/restored-picture-palace.html
Friday, 26 October 2007. A Restored Picture Palace. In my childhood we did not speak of the 'cinema' but the 'Picture Palace', and the opulent façades of these buildings matched their fanciful names. Sadly, most are now gone, but a few have been lovingly restored by volunteers. ANGLIAN WRITER (aka Wordrover). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thanks for the Memory.

UK Heritage & Nostalgia: Playing Soldiers or Preserving History?
http://uk-heritage.blogspot.com/2007/10/playing-soldiers-or-preserving-history.html
Friday, 26 October 2007. Playing Soldiers or Preserving History? I took this photograph at Landguard Fort in Felixstowe, Suffolk which guarded the East Coast of England and two major river estuaries from the time of Henry VIII until the military finally moved out in the 1950s. Army, Navy, Marines and the Royal Air Force have all occupied the fort at various times. Fast-forward to July 2007, when this new diesel locomotive at the Port of Felixstowe was named in the captain's memory. Thanks for the Memory.
