#OnThisDay, 29 Dec 1975, the Sex Discrimination and Equal Pay Acts came into effect in the UK. These made it unlawful to discriminate based on sex or marital status, and made it a requirement to pay men and women equally for equal work.
The laws were passed in 1970 but did not come into effect until 1975, giving employers time to prepare. One of the triggers for the laws had been the 1968 Ford machinists strike.

The Esztergom coal loader (Hungarian: Esztergomi szénrakodó) is a rusting relic located in the Danube River of Hungary.
Nearly 100 years old, this abandoned industrial structure once played a key role in Hungary’s coal distribution network.
Today it is a ramshackled hulk. A slowly disintegrating skeleton of concrete and rusted steel succumbing to time and the elements.

Buzludzha is a communist monument set on a peak in the Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria. Its name comes from the Turkish word for 'icy'. Very appropriate, I thought, as I scaled the snow-covered mountain in -15 degrees!
The structure is a striking example of Brutalist design. A circular hall sits beneath a vast dome, a hammer and sickle at its centre. Mosaics made from cobalt glass line the interior, depicting party history.

🚂 Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad No. 643, the sole surviving H-1 class 2-10-4 "Texas" type steam locomotive engine built in 1944 by Baldwin. Weighing around 520,000 lb, it is one of the heaviest steam locomotives ever built.
Photos from 2018, when it sat #abandoned in an impound. Now it is restored and part of the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

We have lost a great woman, whose span of years encompassed a profound segment of American history.
⚓ This impressive building was the headquarters of a nautical freight transport company, which traded all over the world. Their primary import was coffee; their main export was flour.
After World War One, the company ceased trading. This building has seen many uses since it was partitioned: bank offices, apartments, a cafe, a travel agent, storage, an orthodontist and a paediatric clinic, to name a few.
