I have been trialling Substack as a supplement to my blog. Substack has a large community of people interested in local and social history, so it's a good fit for me. I'm not planning to stop blogging, and some posts may appear in both places, but it allows me scope to write on a wider range of topics. https://edintone.substack.com/p/newspapers-and-research #Substack #ArthurConanDoyle #SherlockHolmes #Norwood

This is a fire that I photographed from Buck Hill this morning, November 3rd 2024 just after 7am. I'm uncertain where the fire is located or what the source of it is, but considering the recent spike in wildfires in Massachusetts, I suspect this is also a wildfire. The building at the lower left is the former Norwood Hospital, which would put this on a bearing for the towns of Medfield MA and Medway MA, perhaps Noon Hill Reservation or Shattuck Reservation. So far I have not been able to find any corroborating source for a fire in those towns.

A 12-year-old's charity ice cream stand was shut down. He was allowed to give the ice cream away, so the issue wasn't health but competition. https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2024/08/16/norwood-boys-charity-ice-cream-stand-shut-down-after-neighbor-complaint/

Originally shared with me by regular correspondent Adrian, here is StockCarPete's photo of a ghost sign for 'Rickards, Signwriter, Carriage Painter &c.'
https://www.flickr.com/photos/stockcarpete/53205869250/
Signs for signwriters are my favourite category of ghost signs, and @RoyReed found a 1913 listing for our man: Alfred Rickards, wheelwright at 48 Carmichael Road, Norwood.
Roy was also able to get a drone shot of it via google maps
