Morning all. Photographer John Bulmer, Liverpool 1965.

⚠️ Stand-off in Sheringham: Local campaigners have spent the past three nights camping out overnight in an extraordinary bid to save a 1950s Streamline Moderne style bus shelter in Norfolk, thwarting council contractors who attempted to demolish the structure at 2am. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Stood with Sheringham residents last night to support the campaign to protect their heritage bus shelter. Community spirit at its best! 🧡 When we stand together, we can create change. Tory-run NCC must engage & listen, instead of ploughing ahead with their bullyboy approach.

Cover of the day: from 1968, here is the Cement and Concrete Association’s brochure on the Western Avenue Extension aka Westway. It was published two years prior to the opening of the Westway, so it’s all artists’ impressions:

"I thought of how, as a child, I’d used pylons to calculate distance & time, and how they seemed to anchor space. I thought of how the turbines resisted this, how unmeasurable they seemed, in a nightscape with few visual referents." 'Landscapes of Power' longbarrowpress.substack.com/p/landscapes...
