flickr.com/photos/1273405… Powderhall, one of Edinburgh's lesser known railway stations. Only open 21 years from 1895, it closed in 1916 (along with a number of less patronised stations) as a war economy measure and was never re-opened
As we can see from that photo though, the station buildings and platforms remained in situ and in repair for decades after (I'm not sure if it was ever used for "specials" e.g. to the adjacent sports grounds.
The building in the back of the photograph is the ominously named "CORPORATION DESTRUCTOR" - in a time when nearly all household waste was burned in domestic fireplaces, larger or non-combustible items would be carted to the destructor to meet their fate.

Just check out that clocktower and chimney!
"The most handsome mill in the world". The clocktower stood at 185 feet and was a north Edinburgh landmark.

People of Space: Ute
@People_Of_Space
Hi everyone! :) I'm Ute (pronounced like “Oohter” with the emphasis on the first syllable. Equivalents are Audrey in English, Aude/Odette in French), and first of all I would like to thank @Taraustralis for the privilege of letting me host “People of Space” this week!
@Taraustralis Another special thank you goes to my direct predecessors, @marmatheghost and @martinesrymd, for their great contributions! Both have inspired some of the things I intend to talk about over the next 7 days.
@Taraustralis @MarmaTheGhost @martinesrymd Tara created @people_of_space so people from all walks of life could talk about their passion to a larger audience. Her intention will in fact also be this week’s motto: “Space is for Everyone”.
Welcome aboard; enjoy the ride! :)

#ThrowbackThursday KARE 11 Investigates: #Minnesota's secret #sexoffenders are not on the sex offender registry or the public online courts database. kare11.com/article/news/i… & my ex-husband, Arlan Lloyd Matheny is 1, even though he's a twice convicted level 3 child sex offender!
The second was our oldest daughter, beggining age 6, to my knowlege. I am the one who turned him in, in 1997, when all my (our) troubles began! #Punished4Protecting
The 1st offense was kept secret from me and even though he had a prior offense to our daughter, he did only a yr. In a halfway house with other sex offenders! I just recently found this 1st offense in the last yr.!

I love this poster so much I made my own abstract geometric version...
