Went up to Darwen in Lancashire at the weekend to see the in-laws, and we had a quick stroll up the local hill to see the early Victorian attempt at kick starting the space race:

Good stuff chaps. :)

Love that shop, Steve - the pastel colours of everything in the image just works so well. And of course Portra doing its thing too. :)

Went for a wander round our village on sat evening - Emma joined me with Ann's iPhone as she wanted to do some photos too.

Budapest. Shot with Nikon FM3a and a 35mm F2AIS lens on very expired (15yrs plus) Boots 200 asa film shot a full stop over and developed another half stop over. I'm not surprised at the soft edges given its age but I like the colours.

By the look of that Steve, reckon I should start looking out for some expired film myself. Looks great. 8)

Dead mans penny

I was shown this plaque which was issued to my Grandmother, fathers side (Shirley Luke) family, along with his transcribed diary, following the death of her brother on the western front WWI where he was a stretcher bearer.
My Grandfather (mother side) was also involved in the same battles at Messines and documented in letters home about the shrapnel wounds and gassing he received there.

The Memorial Plaque was issued after the First World War to the next-of-kin of all British and Empire service personnel who were killed as a result of the war.

The plaques (which could be described as large plaquettes) were made of bronze, and hence popularly known as the "Dead Man’s Penny", because of the similarity in appearance to the somewhat smaller penny coin. 1,355,000 plaques were issued, which used a total of 450 tonnes of bronze,[1] and continued to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war.
