Common Lane North Industrial Estate
The car park was built on the site of the old railway line which would have passed the camera and continued past where the tallest tree now stands before reaching the crossing on Pound Road.

Science in the Sky
Taken over 111 seconds this is a view of the International Space Station, it glides over our heads almost every night, two to three times. This was the 23.10pm fly over taking about 4 minutes to pass over. Having taken this picture 23:10-23:13pm at the time of writing (23.30pm) it is already over India, speed is 17227 mph.
It is very bright, its massive solar panels reflecting off the sun (average magnitude is -2). Not only is it the most expensive thing ever built (100 billion euros) it is the home of several astronauts for 6 months at a time.

Beccles animal pound or pinfold
The pound was where stray livestock were impounded. Animals were kept in a dedicated enclosure, until claimed by their owners, or sold to cover the costs of impounding.
If unclaimed within three weeks, the animals were driven to the nearest market and sold, the proceeds going to the impounder and pound-keeper.
"The person who found the animals on his land cut a stick and made notches, one for every beast, and then split the stick down the centre of the notches so that half each notch appeared on each stick; one half he kept, the other he gave to the pound-keeper.
When the owner came to redeem his property and had paid for the damage done, the impounder gave him his half stick. He took this to the pound-keeper, and if the two pieces tallied, it proved he had paid and his beast was freed. Hence the word tally-stick and the pound-keeper being referred to as the tallyman." (Gratefully borrowed from Wikipedia.)
