Now blink against the falling night.

Yet echo lives the years concealed."

My first proper spin with the Sony ZV-E10, wandering through the timeless streets of Bath. I couldn’t resist giving this shot of Penhaligon’s on Burton Street a sepia treatment — a nod to the perfumer’s Victorian origins (est. 1870) and the city’s own historic charm. Past and present in one frame: a modern passer-by, a centuries-old setting, and a shop still carrying the elegance of another era.
A small town south of London on the English Channel. Rye feels wrapped up in history where very little has changed. Cobblestone streets, compact, mostly all independent shops, and filled with old architecture. We stayed at the George hotel which is the perfect location right on High Street. Filled with creaky floors and quirky layout, I would recommend it, but know there is no elevator. Try the Eccles cakes from Simon the Pieman!

Doncaster, located in South Yorkshire, has a long and fascinating history that stretches back to Roman times. It was originally established as a Roman fort called Danum around the 1st century AD. The fort was strategically placed along the Roman road known as Ermine Street, which linked London with York. This location made Doncaster an important point for trade and military movements during the Roman occupation of Britain.
As time progressed and the Romans left, the settlement gradually evolved. In the medieval period, Doncaster grew in prominence, particularly due to its position as a market town. Religion played a central role in the town’s development, and churches became focal points for the community. The most notable of these is Doncaster Minster.
The original parish church that stood on the site of today’s Minster was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1853. This fire not only gutted the church but also shocked the local population, who saw it as a profound cultural and spiritual loss. In response, plans were quickly made to rebuild, and the new church was designed by the renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. The resulting structure, completed in 1858, is considered one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in the country. Known officially as the Minster Church of St George, it is distinguished by its towering spire, intricate stonework, and beautifully restored organ, which was built by the famous German organ builder Edmund Schulze.
Beside the Minster, a striking remnant of Doncaster’s Roman past still stands—the remains of the Roman wall that once formed part of the fort of Danum. These ancient stones are thought to be part of the original fortifications, quietly marking the site’s military origins. The wall, though modest in appearance, is a powerful symbol of Doncaster’s continuity through time, linking the Roman foundations with the medieval church and its Victorian rebirth. Its presence beside the Minster highlights the layers of history that coexist in the city and offers a rare and tangible connection to its earliest beginnings.
Despite Doncaster's long history and regional importance, it wasn’t until 2022 that the town was granted official city status. This recognition came as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, marking seventy years of her reign. The new status reflected Doncaster’s growth, its historic significance, and its contributions to the cultural and economic life of South Yorkshire and the wider UK.
Today, Doncaster blends its rich past with modern development, and the Minster continues to serve as a spiritual and architectural landmark, connecting the city’s Roman roots and medieval heritage with its 21st-century identity.
