Old photo of the aforementioned mannequin, Clarence, while he was on exhibit in the Snoqualmie Depot. He sits in a chair at the front window. His right hand is poised to transmit using the telegraph while his left is holding a pencil to write transmissions down on paper. In the background, one of the Museum's coaches is visible.
#ThrowbackThursday Anyone remember this blast from the past? "Clarence" was part of the display in the Snoqualmie Depot ticket office window for many years. He is a high quality foam & wax mannequin that many people mistook for a real person!

Black and white photograph of a small stone church surrounded by a churchyard. The church has a square bell tower with a clock and a steeply pitched roof partially covered in ivy. In the foreground is a large white stone cross standing on a plinth, enclosed by a low metal fence. Several other gravestones and sculpted figures are visible, including a tall statue of an angel on the left. Mature trees frame the scene. Handwritten text in the lower right corner reads ‘St. Jude’s, Englefield Green.’”
#ThrowbackThursday St Jude's Church Englefield Green 1910
Before C19 Englefield Green was a rural hamlet based around the green. Gradually it expanded so call for a church to be built. On St Jude’s Day 28th October 1858 foundation stone of Church was laid. #TBT #LocalHistory

Nursling One-Place Study. Image: Extract from an old, large-scale Ordnance Survey map showing the Western part of the parish of Nursling. The area is mostly open fields, with a river to the West (marking the parish boundary there), other, smaller water courses, some minor roads, and a railway running North-South near the Eastern edge of the map extract. The small number of buildings include the church of St Boniface, the Rectory, a cottage named Meadowview, Manor Farm, and Nursling (Railway) Station. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
The second newly registered #OnePlaceStudy we have for you on this #OnePlaceWednesday is Ivan Hurst’s Nursling One-Place Study in #Hampshire. Ivan’s initial focus is on the 1840s, using Tithe Apportionments and the 1841 census as sources. Our link takes you to Ivan’s Nursling OPS web page.

Bourne End One-Place Study. Image: Photo of The Walnut Tree, a public house. The main building is a brick-built, whitewashed two-storey and two-bay house, with a red-tiled roof and flanking brick chimneys.

Hayton One-Place Study. Image: Photo of the church of St Peter, Hayton, viewed from the North-west with the tower (built in the 14th century) on the right and closest to us. The building is set in a large, grassy churchyard with relatively few gravestones visible, and some mature trees in full leaf. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
We have two newly registered #OnePlaceStudies to tell you about today! First up is @benedictjephcote.bsky.social Benedict Jephcote’s Hayton One-Place Study, in #Nottinghamshire. A history of Hayton from 1765 already exists so Benedict is researching from before 1066 to the 1770s. #OnePlaceWednesday
