Brixham Scaffolding - the Structure Remains Strong!

Brixham: Final Scaffolding Report! (4.4.2026)

It is logical to assume that “71 Mount Pleasant Road” (second floor which we are renting) and “71a Mount Pleasant Road” (First Floor) was probably all the same building being referred to in the “Conveyance” document of 1920 – affixed to wall of the back bedroom. This was a substantial building of four (or five) floors (in the UK the 1st floor equates to the Ground Floor in the US – yes – we exported our culture but apparently not our counting) – excluding any basement. We think that once the (limestone) quarry was finished and used-up – the land was sold for housing. However, the quarry proper (which spread over some miles) was not officially closed until 1969 – although obviously not in this exact location – which must have finished earlier (the quarry is said to have existed for 300-years).

The Mobile Gallows of Rutland!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – Mobile Gallows – and How a Judicial Hanging Works! (29.10.2025)

Generally speaking, the Hangman will leave the body hanging for one-hour before the back of the neck is “measured” to prove the bones are separated. Immediately after the Execution is complete – all involved head to the Prison Canteen where they eat a special slap-up breakfast – a celebration that the Will of the State has been successfully carried-out. The Hangman then must return and take-down the body – which is stripped naked and washed before being re-dressed in burial clothing. The deceased body is then placed in a cheap wooden coffin and buried somewhere in the prison grounds in an unmarked grave – whilst the Chaplain carries-out all the relevant duties and procedures. The “Prison Number” of the inmate is inscribed on a secret map recording the location of the grave – kept only in the Governor’s Office. In the UK Judical System – the body of a convicted and executed felon belongs permanently to the State – and can never be given back to his or her family.

This a more conventional art exhibition – avoiding the modern variety – which tries to convince us that a White square on a white background constitutes “art”! Luckily, this type of of nonsense has not yet permeated it’s way to Galmpton!

Inside the Castle!

Torbay: Berry Pomeroy Castle – Tudor Ruins! (2.4.2024)

During the 1500s, Elizabeth I was an absolute monarch (as was her father – King Henry VIII) – who preferred to live in and around the Nonsuch Park area – including Hampton Court Palace (which is no longer used by the royal family). However, there was once a “Nonsuch Palace” which does not exist today. After Elizabeth I died (1603 CE) – many of the castles she frequented were no long favoured by the royal family – leading to these buildings falling into neglect and ruin. This was the case with Nonsuch Palace which was so badly dilapidate that what was left of it had to be demolished in 1683 CE – for safety reasons – with the ruins being recycled into the constructon (or maintenance) of local buildings.
