Thanks a lot Chuck :) :thumbsup:
 
Wonderful carries you post here Jack, sometimes I see thing I've never seen before. All the recent chat about historical buildings and such reminded me of someone I recently discovered on YouTube,one of your fellow countrymen by the name of Fred Dibnah. A man who did everything it seemed the old traditional way I'm sure with and old traditional knife in his pocket ;) Such a strange place he found himself in. Being both a lover and preserver of the past, yet someone often employed to tear it down. I wish we had more Fred Dibnahs in the world, people who celebrate history and old world craftsmanship. Well at least I found a place where many tend to come together, here on the porch:thumbsup:

Thank you very much David, that is very kind of you :) What a wonderful character, there are some great Fred Dibnah videos on YouTube, I have really enjoyed watching them :) I bet he was a great bloke to go to the pub with - though I pitied his several wives! :rolleyes: :D :thumbsup:

I think a lot of history was destroyed everywhere in the 60's, people wanted rid of the old pre-WW2 buildings, concrete was fashionable, folks wanted 'new' and 'modern', and there were some terrible architectural ideas around. You see it a lot in Sheffield, with a city centre which was ruined by the Luftwaffe, and rebuilt by idiots. All I remember as a kid is bomb sites, ruined buildings, demolition, and the construction of ugly buildings, which often only lasted a few years. Sheffield is far from a pretty city, and there is no trace at all of the great cutlery houses of Joseph Rodgers and George Wostenholm :(

When I first left school I worked for the city council, and would have to go to building sites to work on the bulldozers, JCBs, etc. One feller, who had had a few beers at lunchtime managed to put the wrecking ball right through the wall of a fish and chip shop! :eek: Fortunately nobody was hurt, but it probably put them off their chips! :rolleyes:

Fate thrust a Case Peanut into my hand today :) :thumbsup:

I don’t know, Jack, I found Sheffield to be charming in its own weird way. The architecture is certainly a hodgepodge, historic and modern, with a touch of ugly mid-century Brutalism, but put it all together and it’s… eclectic. ;) :D I like eclectic. :thumbsup:

Nice peanut! :thumbsup:
 
Can't believe I haven't been through this thread!

More great history, Jack!

Hey, I think I recognize that Peanut!? Looks like it's developing some nice patina. :):thumbsup:

Another handy little Case Pen.
