What is this toy called?
My aunt brought this back from Canada or the US in the late 60s and I’ve never seen another one. A plastic variation on the spinning top it has no markings, but I vaguely recall the packaging referred to space stations or something equally topical.
Hammersmith Palais 1919-2012
Having been unused and neglected since 2007 Hammersmith Palais was finally demolished yesterday. A Reggae All-nighter there was the subject of this Clash song (here performed in the film Rude Boy)…
The demolition also saw the loss of this ghost sign, pictured from the underground station by Caroline Derry …
With thanks to Sam Roberts’ Ghost Signs Blog.
Postscript – If someone had operated a pirate radio station from the minibus Ann drove on the Hammersmith flyover in 2005, I could have covered most of my categories in one blog post!
Channel 4 31-10-1984
I found this at the end of a VHS tape I’d recorded for school in 1984. It’s an entire commercial break, a continuity announcement plus the start of Channel 4 News on a day when an important international news event had taken place. More interesting than the preceding programme which I’d recorded on purpose.
