The World's Oldest Record Shop

"The world’s most ancient seller of records isn’t in New York or London but Welsh capital, Cardiff. Spillers was founded in 1894 to sell wax cylinders and gramophones, and later traded at the same address in the Hayes for 60 years or so until 2010. Threatened by rising rents, they now have a home in the nearby Morgan Arcade where they continue to be a favourite with bands including the Manic Street Preachers, the Zutons and the Super Furry Animals."

Keep Calm Gallery

"Upon the outbreak of World War Two the British Government's Ministry of Information commissioned posters to be distributed throughout the country as a means of allaying public fear. Three different posters were produced and while the first two designs were widely distributed the third poster, simply bearing the words 'Keep Calm and Carry On' along with the royal crown, was held in reserve intended for use only in times of extreme crisis.

Although hundreds of thousands of these posters were produced, only a handful ever saw the light of day. Even now 'Keep Calm and Carry On' is a phrase which perfectly encapsulates the traditional British 'stiff upper lip'.

Hemp Brimmed Hat

"This extra large and beautiful brimmed hat was made by my daughter, Allie, entirely from hemp. It was a custom order from a woman who lives in LA. It's perfect for the usually sunny weather there, providing protection from the sun as well as great style. The extra fancy flower really works well, and I'm sure this hat is getting lots of compliments."

Waterstone's lets its stores choose the books again

"The problem was simple – Waterstone's was firing at the wrong target. The chain was attempting to compete with the likes of Amazon, Tesco and WH Smith by offering similar titles and promotions. In doing this, it became centrally-run and process-driven, treating books like commodities."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/7738346/Waterstones-lets-its-stores-choose-the-books-again.html


"Now, the system has changed. Power has – to a significant degree – been devolved back to the stores. Of all the books that Waterstone's sells, around a third are "front", or promoted, titles. At "new" Waterstone's one third of these titles are now chosen by store staff. Of the remaining books, around 60pc is determined centrally, with the balance being picked by staff. "

Humble history of shopping site

""After the bomb damage during the war, there was a major effort to clear out the slum housing from that area, and we gradually started to see things like the original St David's popping up, along with new posh apartments on Westgate Street.

"At the time there was a terrible outcry, but now people are bemoaning the passing of David Morgan's and the old library.

"Today's eyesores are no more than tomorrow's landmarks!" "

My images reflect the fact that I spend most of my time in Pembrokeshire and North East Essex. The gallery is arranged in sections according to location and subject type.

I did not start out with the object of selling my pictures but after many requests I decided it was time to try. All of the images displayed on this site are available for sale up to A3+ size."

The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."
