Bridge Over Untroubled Water

 

This image shows Windsor Bridge, also known as Windsor Town Bridge, a historic iron and granite arch bridge that spans the River Thames, connecting the towns of Windsor and Eton in Berkshire, England.

Obviously pre-1970, as that was when it was pedestrianised.

And nowadays

Formerly a good old traditional British activity for the weekend, it's been banned because of bleedin' 'Elf n Safety.  Tony Bliar and co declared it non-PC, yet he allowed millions of furriners to come into...

A Timeless Scene

 

This slide was dated April 1984, but it could really be for anytime in the past 100 years. A snowy lane, a dramatic sky, and a simple composition. Classic.

Is That Poly Styrene?

 

I scanned this slide, this weekend, and my first thought was...

  • The Girl,
  • The Location,
  • The Pose, 
  • The Hat....

Is that Poly Styrene, the famed front girl for X-Ray Spex???

Alas, it cannae Be.  The slide dates to 1963, when  Marianne Joan Elliott-Said would have been six.

Bonus 2 - The man on the cover of Led Zeppelin IV has been identified.
