Darren Schiller has added a photo to the pool:
An attractive single-storey Mid-Victorian bluestone corner shop and residence with hipped roof and concave front verandah. Notable for its simple design and typical corner shop character. Appears to be well built and in good condition for its age.
History: A butcher’s shop has been on this site since the l 850’s. This is the second shop and dates from the 1870’s. Now known as Sexton’s Meat Store. Mr P. Sexton, second generation member of this family, was still operating there in 1983.
Streetscape Contribution: This prominent corner shop is located on the corner of College Road and Rundle Street, the old “village centre” of Kent Town. Being opposite the pub, it was a key building in the area. It forms part of an important group of Victorian buildings located on and around this intersection and contributes significantly to the attractive Victorian streetscape in the immediate area.
Significance: This building is a good example of a Mid-Victorian corner shop and residence. It is associated with the growth of Kent Town in the 1850’s-1870’s and marks the old “village centre” of Kent Town. It illustrates the central role of the Butcher shop in daily life in Kent Town at that time which has continued unbroken to today*. It is an attractive building and an important corner building which contributes significantly to the streetscape of Rundle St and Kent Town.
* Now a cafe/restaurant.
Former transport secretary said she was one of several victims of ‘sexist and unpleasant’ press briefs
Louise Haigh has accused Keir Starmer’s allies of briefing “consistently and viciously” against her after she resigned as transport secretary as she spoke openly about her departure from the cabinet in 2024 and her reasons for backing Andy Burnham.
She has helped mastermind Burnham’s likely ascent to power, with the former Greater Manchester mayor expected to be confirmed as prime minister in days.

Coco Gauff blew a golden chance to reach a first Wimbledon final as she lost a dramatic deciding set tie-break against Karolina Muchova.
The 22-year-old came from a set down to take a tense semi-final the distance on Centre Court. But, on match point, Gauff dumped a simple winner into the net, a shot that will surely keep her awake at night for some time.

Tributes have been paid to three members of the same family who were found dead in their home in Bedfordshire on Monday. Nothabo Zandile Tshuma and her daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, were described as much-loved members of their community who brought joy to those around them.
An international manhunt is under way for their husband and father, 45-year-old Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who is suspected of killing them before leaving the UK for Zimbabwe.

By Opta Analyst
After watching 120 minutes of football, you might not find observing a coin toss the most exciting dessert. Fans in the stadium care, though. Win a coin toss for a penalty shootout and you choose the end where they are taken – to much rejoicing from those behind the chosen goal. Another coin toss also allows the winner to choose whether to go first or second. But does that decision actually matter?
For years, the consensus was that going first in a shootout gives teams an advantage. Being able to take the lead and put scoreboard pressure on opponents surely has a mental benefit, and means they are more likely to face the dreaded “must-score” penalty. However, when Rubén Vargas tucked away the winning spot kick for Switzerland against Colombia in their last-16 tie, it continued a rather curious trend.

Inside info uit de krochten van het Kremlinternet: Twitterlord Isa Yusibov is naar eigen zeggen NIET de bron dan wel verantwoordelijk voor de bronnen waardoor AIVD en MIVD tot het laatste moment dachten dat Rusland Oekraïne niet zou binnenvallen. Isa Yusibov heeft Twitter jarenlang ondergescheten met 'insider info uit het Kremlin' en 'bronnen in het Kremlin' maar nu is het plots: "Ik heb, in tegenstelling tot onze diensten, geen bronnen in het Kremlin (ook al beweren sommige shitposters dat ik het wel zou hebben.)" Gelukkig heeft 'een bekende journalist' inzake AIVD-gate zijn naam gezuiverd in een opvallend helder en ontlastend verhaal. Voor een Eurasia Geopolitical Risk Analyst/ Former Senior Foreign Affairs & Defense Policy Adviser @ Dutch Parliament met heel veel gekwaak moeten hij en z'n bronnen opvallend vaak gissen en gokken trouwens, maar HEY, het waren in ieder geval NIET. ZIJN. BRONNEN.
TEHERAN (ANP/AFP/RTR) - Iran voert diplomatiek overleg over de jongste Amerikaanse aanvallen op de kust van het land, die minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Abbas Araqchi Amerikaans "avonturisme" noemt. Hij spreekt daarover met de legerleider van Pakistan, veldmaarschalk Asim Munir. Pakistan staat op de voorgrond bij bemiddelingen tussen Iran en de VS.
Araqchi heeft ook gebeld over de situatie met zijn collega's in Oman en Turkije. Daarbij ging het in het bijzonder over de Straat van Hormuz.
Iran heeft volgens president Donald Trump deze week drie vrachtschepen beschoten in de zeestraat. De VS hebben opnieuw gereageerd met luchtaanvallen op Iran.
LONDEN (ANP) - Tennisster Karolína Muchová heeft voor het eerst de finale van Wimbledon bereikt. De 29-jarige als tiende geplaatste Tsjechische versloeg de Amerikaanse Coco Gauff in drie sets: 6-2 1-6 7-6 (10).
In de finale treft Muchová de winnares van de halve finale tussen Marta Kostjoek uit Oekraïne en Linda Nosková uit Tsjechië.
GAVARNIE-GÈDRE (ANP) - Tadej Pogačar heeft de zesde etappe van de Tour de France op zijn naam geschreven en daarmee de gele trui veroverd. De 27-jarige renner van UAE Team Emirates maakte het verschil op de Tourmalet, een beklimming van de buitencategorie, en ook op de slotklim naar het Franse Gavarnie-Gèdre was hij veruit de beste.
Voor de Sloveense wereldkampioen is het zijn tweede ritzege in deze editie, waarmee hij zijn totaal op 23 etappeoverwinningen in de Ronde van Frankrijk brengt. Maandag won hij al de derde etappe.
DEN HAAG (ANP) - Luchtvaartorganisaties willen dat passagiers niet te veel drinken en denken daarom na over aanpassingen aan hun alcoholbeleid. Een idee dat in elk geval op tafel ligt, is een waarschuwing op de gesealde verpakkingen voor alcohol op luchthavens. Dat staat in een 'roadmap' die minister Vincent Karremans (Infrastructuur en Waterstaat, VVD) donderdag heeft gedeeld met de Tweede Kamer.
Wangedrag in vliegtuigen is de afgelopen jaren toegenomen, met dronken passagiers als belangrijke oorzaak. Door "matiging van het alcoholgebruik" willen de luchtvaartorganisaties het aantal ordeverstoringen terugbrengen.
Behalve Karremans' ministerie hebben onder meer Nederlandse luchtvaartmaatschappijen, luchthavens, de Koninklijke Marechaussee, het OM en vakbonden meegewerkt aan het document. De organisaties zoeken een "evenwicht" tussen de "gastvrijheidsdiensten" op luchthavens en in vliegtuigen aan de ene kant en de veiligheid in de lucht aan de andere kant. Welke maatregelen ze verder overwegen, is niet bekend.
For more than three decades, Rob Hann has pursued the inimitable and notable, turning his lens toward public figures like Tom Hanks, David Byrne, Chloe Sevigny, Ray Lotta, Willem Dafoe, and many others. He also ranges across the breadth and length of the U.S., traversing storied highways like U.S. 89 in Arizona, a popular route to the Grand Canyon, or U.S. 90 in Texas, which passes through the artistic enclave of Marfa. Not unlike the way he captures portraits of people, his characterizations of the country’s endearingly quirky and remote places highlight individuality, presence, and the passage of time.
Hann’s subjects range from handmade road signs and vintage buildings to peculiar local attractions like trees completely covered in shoes. He sometimes captures site-specific artworks such as Nancy Holt’s “Sun Tunnels” (1973-76) in Utah’s Great Basin Desert or Magda Sayeg’s crocheted retro camper trailer at El Cosmico in Marfa. There’s often a tinge of tongue-in-cheek humor, too, such as a sign reading “ICY” amid an arid desert landscape in southeastern California or a half-buried car.
“Although my photos are usually very simple, I often like it when the viewer is not quite sure what it is that they’re seeing, when they have questions,” Hann tells Colossal. “I’m often attracted to things that are amusing, unintentionally funny, or things that are puzzling.”
For the vast majority of his career, Hann has shot with an analog Mamiya 7, only recently adding a digital camera to his routine: a Hasselblad X2D. One of the major differences is that the Mamiya takes a roll of film with only 10 frames, so there’s a more disciplined approach to avoid wasting rolls. With digital cameras, the number of images is only limited by the space on an SD card. “I try to make good decisions as I shoot and avoid wading through huge amounts of images on my computer when I get home,” Hann says. “With both cameras, I only use one fixed lens, and when shooting film, I just use one film stock.”
Color images have also emerged as an important tenet of Hann’s practice despite an earlier preference for black-and-white photography. “I was required to also shoot colour when working for magazines and record companies,” he says. “I could do it but struggled to make the colour photos special or make them feel like my own. It took me many years to get my head around making consistently good colour images.” Today, the emotive potential of color, explored through different levels of saturation and warmth, plays a significant role.
Hann is currently working with The Artist Edition toward the publication of a new book titled Wonder Valley, which is slated for release sometime later this year. Follow updates on Instagram.
