Black Country Living Museum – Old Birmingham Road – Hobbs & Sons Restaurant

A few nice back link builder images I found:

Black Country Living Museum – Old Birmingham Road – Hobbs & Sons Restaurant
back link builder

Image by ell brown
This is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.

The museum was established in 1975, and the first buildings moved here in 1976. Since then a 26 acre site has been developed, with the unique conditions of living and working in the Black Country from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.

It is off Tipton Road in Dudley.

This is Old Birmingham Road at the Black Country Living Museum.

The current phase in the museum’s development is the creation of a 1930s high street, Old Birmingham Road stretching from St. James’s School to the Workers’ Institute.

People waiting at lunchtime to buy some fish and chips to eat.

On the left is Hobbs & Sons Restaurant. Also known as Hobbs Fish & Chip Shop and Hobbs and Sons Fish and Chip Shop.

The Museum’s award-winning fish and chips are cooked in beef dripping for an authentic taste of the past. Hobbs Fish and Chip Shop has dished up the nation’s favourite food to countless Black Country folk.

Originally situated at 41-42 Hall Street, Dudley the landmark building was moved and rebuilt, brick by brick, at the Museum where it forms the centrepiece of the new 1930’s High Street.

Next up is H. Morrall. MensWear Specialist. Also known as Morrall’s Gentlemen’s Outfitters.

Harry Morrall’s shop was originally a familiar sight in Hall Street, Dudley, where he traded from 1928 to 1935. The shop is set in 1935, when it would have stocked men’s clothing such as shirts, collars, cufflinks, collar studs, hats, ties, socks and possibly underwear. It is also possible that Harry Morrall offered a made-to-measure suit service for his customers.

The shop front reflects the fashions of the time and the window display contains vintage clothing and reproductions. Inside, some of the merchandise is available to buy. Step inside for some old-fashioned customer service.

In the middle is Humphrey Bros. Humphrey Brothers

This builders’ merchants can be traced back to 1921, when brothers Joseph and William first traded at no 12 Birmingham Street, Oldbury. By the early 1930s the business had grown to include no. 14 and eventually, by the late 1940s, the brothers were operating out of no. 16 as well.

The shop looks as it might have done in the late 1930s, when it was supplying a range of fireplaces, grates, W.C.s, sinks, paints, varnishes and wallpapers. Inside, visitors can find a showroom which gives a snapshot of typical thirties style.

Next up is A. Harthill Motorcycles. A. Hartill & Sons

In the late 1930s this shop formed part of the Humphrey brothers’ business (now recreated next door). At the Museum it has been fitted out as Hartills motor cycle shop, which was located in Mount Pleasant, Bilston.

Abraham Hartill opened the shop in 1937, having moved from a smaller unit in the same block. He sold mainly second-hand motorcycles, some fifteen or so a week. Bicycles were also sold, and hire purchase facilities were provided. The sale of spares and provision for repairs completed the service.

In the thirties, many motorcycle dealers sponsored competition riders, either by providing free tyres, petrol and oil, or by supplying the motorcycle, fuel, and a back-up service. Large dealers would sponsor Isle of Man T.T. riders, whereas smaller dealers like Hartill’s would support riders in local events. Dealers were very keen on this arrangement because it encouraged young riders to buy larger, faster bikes. On T.T. week the shop would be crowded with enthusiasts, waiting for news of practice times and speeds. The latest T.T. newsletter would be fixed to the window for all to see.

On the far right is A. Preedy and Sons.

In the thirties this shop at 16 Birmingham Street, Oldbury, was occupied in succession by two independent tobacconists. At the Museum, the shop has been recreated as a branch of Alfred Preedy and Sons, the chain of tobacconists founded in Dudley in 1868.

Between 1914 and 1938 annual tobacco consumption per head of the population almost doubled. This was the age of the cigarette, which were sold in small enough quantities to make them affordable by most people. ‘Woodbine’, ‘Weights’, ‘Park Drive’ and the other cheap brands could be obtained in penny packets of five.

The brands of cigarette and pipe tobacco on display give some idea of the range and number that even a small establishment would have to carry – on average numbering about 40 to 50. The ‘staples’ were the cheaper cigarette, including Park Drive, Players, Tenners, Weights and Woodbines, followed by Players Medium Navy Cut, the most popular brand between the wars, appealing to both men and women.

It did not take long for doctors to suspect that smoking was linked to a number of serious diseases though scientific opinion would be divided for generations. Often the public was left with vague notions that cigarettes stunted growth or led to heart problems, though these concerns were strong enough for cigarettes to earn the nickname ‘coffin nails’. The first health education campaign against smoking didn’t take place until 1968; the first health warnings on cigarette packets appeared in 1971.

And at the end is Gripton’s Radio Stores at number 18 Birmingham Street

There was a Gripton’s radio shop in Birmingham Street, Oldbury, from the early 1920s until the late 1940s (although it was at no. 4, not no.18). It was a branch of a substantial and well-known business based in West Bromwich. Like many radio shop proprietors, James Gripton had started out in a different trade, in his case jobbing printing.

The shop is set in 1939 on the eve of war, though there are models of wireless dating back to the early 1920s. Most shops would be selling earlier models that had come their way as ‘trade-ins’.

Until the development of reasonably priced mains electricity radios, accumulator (battery) charging remained an important area of a wireless shop business. As well as providing an income from the service it was also a marketing opportunity – the trader could build up a rapport with a customer over regular visits. Perhaps he could ‘showcase’ one of the latest models in the hope of a sale. Repairs worked in the same way – while the customer awaited the return of his own set he could be loaned a demonstration model.

Down here is more trolley bus overhead cables.

At the end of the road is the Workers’ Institute.

Tuggeranong Town Park War Memorial, builders plaque, Greenway

"This park has been born out of Tuggeranong’s rural past – it has been linked back in its design to the 19th century boundary line between two major rural properties – those of the Campbell family to the north and the Cunningham families to the south. The boundary was a complex structure which functioned as a ‘fence’ combining dry stone walling and a ditch and bank system. Evidence of the latter has been found at the eastern end of the line a Drakeford Drive and of the former on the western side of Athllon Drive.

Design and construction of the park began in 1986 and its birth was marked in an unusual way in 1988. With the assistance of a community artist the main pedestrian access to the park in Anketell Street was paved with bricks into which had been baked messages from many in the Tuggeranong Community. Those messages reflected their thoughts, views and hopes for the present and the future.

The park was officially opened in 1995. A ceramic tiled path, the work of 500 residents of all ages, was installed near the shoreline. This path expresses their thoughts on the journey through life."

Nice Back Link Builder photos

Some cool back link builder images:

Step 1: Set permissions on selected items within an object
back link builder

Image by moggs oceanlane
Oh. My. Grud. A dream come true for creators and builders. Set permissions on a range of objects… or on the contents within an object – or even just on selected content types within the object. Rejoice! Imprudence is here! (Can you tell I’m excited?!). This feature would have saved me countless hours when ONE texture out of thousands had a no transfer and I needed to change it to take a back up of my texture organiser. For day to day uses it’s unbelievably useful for content creator, builders and sellers.

"Building: Added "Tools > Set permissions on selected task inventory" menu item, to set perms on multiple in-world objects and/or their contents. This will have a nicer UI later. (VWR-5082; thanks Michelle2 Zenovka!)" – from the release notes

Get involved by contributing to the development or by using the viewer (instead of the official SL viewer/software) and providing feedback on any bugs you find… and, of course, anything you love about this viewer.

"The goal of Imprudence is to make significant usability improvements over the standard SL viewer, but for this first release our focus has simply been to get the project established. You’ll find many small improvements scattered throughout the viewer, almost all of them programmed by SL Residents and submitted as patches to JIRA, but which LL has not (at least yet) accepted. Future versions of Imprudence will feature more significant improvements made specifically for this project. " – from the release notes

View towards the back of our house.

Our house is part of a terrace row built in 1913 (Edwardian) though it looks a bit younger than that. Unlike a lot of terrace housing though, the houses were actually constructed in linked pairs, each house in a pair being a mirror image of the other. This view show a pair, the RH one of which is ours. Part of an adjoining pair can be seen on the R.

Found this quite old picture, but with the washing lines cutting across the view, it isn’t a particularly good composition! I think a builder might have taken it for working purposes, and given me the image, as I didn’t have a digital camera in 2006. But there’s added interest as it’s now history. The terrace by the house, and half of the brick outhouse on the far R centre, have all been demolished in the last two months (autumn 2011), and the lower back windows and doors of the house replaced. We’re in the process of having a redesigned terrace constructed here. Also, the neighbours on the L recently converted their loft into attic accommodation with a dormer a bit like our one. We had our conversion done around 1989.
