Electricity Account : 91 Hyde Park Ave., Winchmore Hill, London N.21 : 7 February 1940 : Northmet Power Company : London : 1940 : reverse side

The Northmet Power Company's account for the supply of electricity to the home of H. H. I. Whitehouse Esq., of 91 Hyde Park Avenue, Winchmore Hill, London N.21, a pleasant suburb of the capital city in Middlesex, and for the sum of £5 0s. 1d. This was made up of a fixed charge of 13 shillings, 970 units of electricity at ½d totalling £2 0s. 5d and an instalment of £2 6s.8d. due at the Southgate shop on 1 February 1940. The account was settled at Northmet's shop on the Broadway at Winchmore Hill on 26 February.

Something tells me that the Whitehouse's were comfortably off in their little "Metroland" semi-detached house - and in wartime as well. The reverse of the account or bill is used to give information as to the utility of one unit of electricity; how long it would run an electric lamp, how many pints of water it would boil or how long to run an electric clock. There is also information as to alteration or discontinuation of supply that was provided at the standard of 240v AC and 50 cycles single phase; not all UK electrical supply undertakings had yet fully standardised supply to consumers.

The Northmet Power Company - fully the North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Company - had originally been formed in 1900 and had, thanks to tramway electrification and operations, been associated with the London Underground group of companies, hence its use of the 'roundel' logo seen here. When London Transport was formed in 1933 the common ownership was effectively severed but the Northmet continued to use the logo as well as generate and supply electricity across much of North London, Middlesex and parts of Hertfordshire and Essex until Nationalisation of the industry in 1948.

This item was kindly given to me from the collections of the late Andrew Emmerson.

The restored Belmont Chapel
Island Cemetery
Newport, RI
July 14, 2026

"The focal point of Island Cemetery is the Belmont Memorial Chapel. The chapel was built in 1886-1888 by August Belmont, a wealthy banker who secured his place in society when he wed Newport socialite Caroline Slidell Perry, daughter of Commodore Matthew Galbraith Perry. The Richardsonian-Romanesque chapel, the work of George Chaplin Mason and Son, was built as a memorial to their deceased 19 year old daughter Jane Pauline. “Patience” is inscribed in many locations in the interior of the chapel. The chapel’s original purpose was to serve as a site to hold committal services for those being buried at the Island Cemetery. The chapel, which was deeded after completion to the Island Cemetery, is a 1-1/2 story, late Victorian-style building constructed of rock-faced brownstone; its picturesque massing of tall dormers, entrance portico and belfry make it a focal point of the cemetery. No bodies are entombed in the chapel, but some are buried in the large front burial circle, including August and Caroline, who reside in sarcophagi, as well as their son August II and Commodore Matthew Perry, who is credited with opening up trade with Japan in 1853.

August Belmont died in 1890 before he had established an endowment to ensure the chapel maintenance. Over time, the building had seriously deteriorated and was barely visible under the ivy that covered it.

In 2014, the Belmont Chapel Foundation was established to restore and preserve the chapel. In 2020, the Belmont Chapel Foundation embarked on a Capital Campaign to begin the restoration of the beautiful 19th century Romanesque chapel. The Foundation received major grant awards from the Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust, the van Beuren Charitable Foundation, Preserve RI/1772 and the Champlin Foundation as well as individuals who funded the total cost of the overall restoration; approximately $2.5 million.

Oud glas …

Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam … Nederland

www.instagram.com/eric_fotografie/

Oude mondgeblazen ambachtelijk ramen van het Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam. Het glas vertoont een lichte vertekening en luchtbellen. Dit is typerend voor historisch handgemaakt glas.

Het spiegelbeeld van de tegenoverliggende gevel vervormd hierdoor. Het glas is geplaatst in een rasterwerk dat past bij de 17e-eeuwse architectuur van Jacob van Campen.

Door de ruiten heen kijk je naar de klassieke roodbruine binnenluiken met goudkleurige rozetten (of ornamenten), die het historische interieur beschermen tegen uv-licht en warmte.
