possible goes probable goes to absolute
This week, in the wealthier parts of Barnsley and Manchester, the possible became probable as solicitors in dusty offices worked through the night [and what sort of night was it? A long dark night. And what sort of light did they use to illuminate their scratchings? Candlelight] to construct such wordy documentation as would secure my purchase of an old printworks.
Then, on Wednesday, the probable became certain, papers were signed and witnessed, and McFugger Bros. moved in the big shifting tools. And so begins the long journey that will see the conversion of said printworks to studio and workshop.

Location, Location, Location,
The building reminds me of the Baptist Church my dad used to take us to in Failsworth down the Oldham road to Manchester. He used to use an Adana hand printer to print cards for the various functions that took place. I even got to set the type , ink the rollers and do the print runs filling the bedroom full of neatly placed cards out to dry before stacking. Step up from the, John Bull printing sets of the time.
