# William Henry Hornby (1805–1884)

William Henry Hornby (1805–4th September 1884) an English cotton spinner, industrialist and politician. He became the first Mayor of Blackburn in Lancashire and national chairman of the Conservative Party.

## Life

He was the son of the cotton spinner John Hornby (1763–1841) and his wife Alice Kendall Backhouse, daughter of Daniel Backhouse, born in Blackburn.
During the 1820s the Hornby family business, a partnership with John Birley, expanded with the construction of a cotton spinning mill out of the centre of Blackburn, in the Brookhouse area on the River Blakewater. The original water mill was phased out, with power looms introduced in 1830, and a steam engine in 1841. The partnership with Birley ended in 1830, and William Henry Hornby brought in new partners.
The business grew and prospered. Hornby was a paternalist, an Anglican Tory who supported the Ten Hours Bill. His younger brother John Hornby was elected to parliament for Blackburn in 1841. Elections in Blackburn at that period involved some violence and intimidation. William himself represented Blackburn from 1857 to 1865, having been the first mayor in 1852 and failing to be elected in an 1853 by-election. In 1868 he had the most votes, but an inquiry into intimidation meant he was denied the seat. His son Edward Hornby took the seat in the further election held in 1869.
Hornby died at Poole Hall in Poole, Cheshire, on 5 September 1884.

## Family

Hornby married in 19th May 1831 Margaret Susannah Birley, daughter and sole heir of Edward Birley of Kirkham. They had seven sons and four daughters.
Of the sons, Edward Hornby and Harry, were also MPs for Blackburn from 1869 to 1874, and from 1886 to 1910 respectively. Another son, Albert, was the England cricket captain who lost the Test match which gave rise to the Ashes, at home against the Australians in 1882. Edward and another son Cecil also played first class cricket.

# Werthman Grocery

Werthman Grocery is located at a commercial intersection in a residential neighborhood in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. While it initially housed a grocery store, the building has been a long time neighborhood tavern. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

## History

Henry Werthman opened a grocery store in this building in 1900. Several other members of the Werthman family lived within the one-block area in the early 20th-century. A tavern opened in the building by 1910. It was operated by John J. Bryson who lived in the second-floor apartment. A tavern has been housed here since that time, even during the Prohibition era. In those years it was listed in city directories as selling only "soft drinks".

## Architecture

The neighborhood tavern was and is a fixture in what was a predominantly working-class German neighborhood of Davenport. This two-story commercial building capitalizes on its corner location by way of the building's main entrance that was placed in a chamfered corner. The oriel window on the east side indicates the location of the residential space above the tavern, which was a common feature in many of Davenport's small commercial buildings from the 19th and early 20th century. The structure is composed of brick, built on a stone foundation. Its primary decorative feature is the metal cornice, with dentil molding, finials, and ornamental frieze.
# Jason Crest

Jason Crest (formerly The Good Thing Brigade) were an English psychedelic pop group from Tonbridge, Kent, active from around 1967 to 1969. Despite releasing five singles on Philips between 1967 and 1968 (including a cover version of The Move's "(Here We Go Round) the Lemon Tree"), the band never achieved commercial success and disbanded towards the end of the 1960s when their recording contract with Philips expired.
However, the singles "Black Mass", "Turquoise Tandem Cycle", "(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree" and "Place in the Sun" have since appeared on the Rubble collections of British psychedelia and freakbeat, and the band garnered a modest cult following.
Jason Crest's fourth single, "Waterloo Road" (1968), was adapted into French as "Les Champs-Élysées" by singer Joe Dassin and reached number one in France.

# Butts Junction

vteBasingstoke & Alton Light Railway :
Legend :
Butts Junction was a railway junction located in Alton in Hampshire, England. The junction was the location at which the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway and the Meon Valley Railway diverged from the Mid-Hants Railway which runs from Alton to Winchester. The junction became operational in 1901.
All of the Junction's railway lines had closed by 1973, with the Mid-Hants Railway subsequently reopening as a heritage railway known as the Watercress Line in 1977. The location of Butts Junction can still be seen from trains on the Watercress Line, with an embankment tailing off southwards towards Farringdon.

## Location

Butts Junction was located at grid reference SU711384 in an area southwest of Alton town centre known as The Butts, from which the junction takes its name. The Butts is a triangle of open land which in medieval times was used for archery practice, leading to its name in reference to the archery butts formerly located at the site. Butts Junction was just 20 chains (0.25 miles, 0.40 km) from the former Treloar's Hospital Platform railway station, and 1.05 miles (1.69 km) to Alton railway station located northeast of the junction. The railway crosses Butts Road at the junction over a bridge which was replaced with the opening of the line to Basingstoke.
The junction was home to an LSWR type 4 signal box which was built on the site in June 1903.

# Barley bread

Barley bread is a type of bread made from barley flour derived from the grain of the barley plant. In the British Isles it is a bread which dates back to the Iron Age. Today, barley flour is commonly blended (in a smaller proportion) with wheat flour to make conventional breadmaking flour.

## Religious references

A loaf of barley bread features in a dream mentioned in Judges 7:13: a Midianite man dreamt that "a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed"; Israelite leader Gideon overheard an account of the dream and concluded that he was assured of victory over the Midianites.
Loaves made of barley feature in the story of the feeding of the 5000 in John's Gospel in the New Testament (John 6:9).
It is mentioned in Islamic sources as a commoner's food in comparison with wheat bread, perceived as a luxury item. In the Muwatta Imam Malik (hadith 1700) it is narrated that Jesus the son of Mary used to say, "O Children of Israel! You must drink pure water and the green things of the land and barley bread. Beware of wheat bread, for you will not be grateful enough for it."
Another narration from Sahih Bukhari (5413) gives a detailed comparison between sifted, fine flour and unsifted flour for making barley bread: I asked Sahl bin Sa`d, "Did Allah's Messenger ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Allah's Messenger never saw white flour since Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger?" Sahl said, "Allah's Messenger never saw (used) a sieve since Allah sent him as a prophet until He took him unto Him," I said, "How could you eat barley unsifted?" he said, "We used to grind it and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare the dough (bake) and eat it."
