Boring Postcards Lancashire: 'The new residences at Royal Preston Hospital'

'Crane Spotting'


Have been back in Manchester for a while. Was walking home and saw a tower crane tipped over, the end of the crane resting on the other side of the River Medlock to the cabin. I think the ground subsided under the wheels on the left-hand side. The solution? 'More cranes!'. The workers righted the crane with two more cranes. Urban construction efforts were resumed within a few days.
This all happened a few doors down from the building where Engels wrote his paper on the 'Condition of the Working Class in England', 1844. Which has little to do with metaphors of -large construction machines tipping over-, but I think it would have been funny in a 'Monty Python' kind of way if the building old Engels had lived in was squashed by a big yellow Tonka truck.

Delhi

Icy pole in the colours of the Indian flag.

India Gate: A guy tried to tell me that this memorial was for Indian soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War.. Don't think so. It's for soldiers who died in the First World War and Indo - Pakistani War. The names and dates are carved into the surface.
