Distracted
When looking at the first image I became distracted by the amazing tiles in the fireplace – sad I know 😮
My thanks to Derelict Enough for a better view with the second image.
Barbara Windsor
Remembering Barbara Windsor on what would be her 84th Birthday, born 6th August 1937.
A huge fan of Music Hall, she played Marie Lloyd on numerous occasions throughout her career,
including ‘Sing A Rude Song’ seen above.
Hiroshima Day
At 8:15 on the morning of August 6, 1945, a person sat on a flight of stone stairs leading up to the entrance of the Sumitomo Bank in Hiroshima, Japan.
Seconds later, an atomic bomb, “Little Boy” detonated just 800 feet away, and the person sitting on the stairs was instantly incinerated.
Gone like that. But not without leaving a mark.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
