Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.

MONTEVIDEO
Uruguay’s capital and by far its largest city, Montevideo is a vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life. Stretching nearly 20km from east to west, the city wears many faces, from its industrial port to the exclusive residential suburb of Carrasco near the airport.
In the historic downtown business district, art deco and neoclassical buildings jostle for space alongside grimy, worn-out skyscrapers that appear airlifted from Havana or Ceauşescu’s Romania, while across town the shopping malls and modern high-rises of beach communities like Punta Carretas and Pocitos bear more resemblance to Miami or Copacabana.
If you’re coming from Colonia or Uruguay’s northern beaches, Montevideo’s polluted air and honking taxis may feel a bit jarring, but stick around. The capital’s active and resurgent urban culture is a palpable force, and locals are justifiably proud to share it with you. In Ciudad Vieja, the heart of historic Montevideo, old buildings are being restored to make room for boldly painted cafés, hostels and galleries, while down by the port the municipal administration has spruced up the Mercado del Puerto to accommodate a new city tourist office and Carnaval museum.
Montevideo serves as administrative headquarters for Mercosur, South America’s leading trading bloc, and the capital’s many embassies and foreign cultural centers add to the international flavor. Meanwhile, the city’s music, theater, art and club scenes continue to thrive, from elegant older theaters and cozy little tango bars to modern beachfront discos.

The Grade II Listed 11a, 11b and 11c St Thomas Street, Wells, Somerset.
Houses in row, now subdivided. Built in the early 19th Century, but on site of property rebuilt in 1640 and incorporating parts of that building. Rendered with false ashlar jointing, colour washed, rear mainly lime washed rubble, clay pantiles between coped gabled, brick end and central chimney stacks.
Originally a 3-room cross-passage plan, all rooms heated, inserted central stack; added out shut to swept-down roof to 11a, staircase rear left; 11b has through-passage shared with 11a, which originally formed one house with 11b and was probably a hall and outer room of a 3-unit plan house whose inner end has now been lost to the garden of 9 St Thomas Street. 11c probably a 18th farm building, converted into dwelling since.
On top of the rusted steel walkway with the three chutes which presumably were used to transfer lime from the conveyor to waiting lorries below.

Heute zur Erinnerung zum 100. Geburtstag an den Architekten und Denkmalpfleger Erwin Schleich, der maßgeblich beim Wiederaufbau Münchens zahlreiche Bauten im Original wieder errichtet und somit wesentlich für die Erhaltung des historischen Stadtbildes von München beigetragen hat, wie zum Beispiel mit dem Wiederaufbau des Alten Peter (zusammen mit Rudolf Esterer), der Heilig-Geist-Kirche, dem Alten Rathausturm und vielen anderen historischen Gebäuden.
Die Pfarrkirche Sankt Peter, deren Turm im Volksmund Alter Peter genannt wird und zu Münchens Wahrzeichen zählt, ist die älteste erwähnte Pfarrkirche Münchens und vermutlich der Ursprung Münchens überhaupt.

Erwin Schleich wurde 1986 vom Deutschen Nationalkomitee für Denkmalschutz der Deutschen Preis für Denkmalschutz - die Silberne Halbkugel - verliehen.
Der Entwurf der Silbernen Halbkugel stammt vom Künstler Fritz Koenig.
In die Schlagzeilen kam Fritz Koenig nach dem 11. September 2001 durch die von ihm geschaffene große Kugelkaryatide. Die goldene Kugel mit dem Werknamen "The Sphere" überstand schwer beschädigt den Einsturz der Türme des World Trade Centers. Im Inneren der aufgerissenen Kugel wurden unter anderem Wrackteile der in die Türme gestürzten Flugzeuge gefunden. Am 11. März 2002 wurde die Skulptur als temporäres Mahnmal im New Yorker Battery Park aufgestellt.
I'm not sure what to think about the new City Center. We joked that these buildings look like something out of the movie Inception.

Few of these buildings remain. The two-story frame house, second from right, stood neglected and much-altered until at least 2008. East Springfield was platted in February 1803, shortly before Ohio gained statehood.

I may have posted similar pics to this with my DSLR, sometimes I will take a pic with my phone first to see if I want to take it again with the DSLR camera.
This is just a cell pic from my Huawei cell phone. I never thought I would be posting my cell pics, but I was not able to travel last year because of Covid, so I am going thru my cell looking for old pics to post.

Otherwise known as the Nokia or Mobile Phone building because of it's unusual shape.
Built: 1914 to 1923 - Architect: John Smith Murdoch - Architectural style: Inter-War Beaux-Arts
The Perth General Post Office is a fine example of monumental civic architecture and one of a precinct of Commonwealth buildings which introduced Beaux-Arts monumentalism to the city.
The imposing building has seven main storeys plus basement and roof level rooms. It has a concrete encased steel frame faced with brick and stone. The ground floor of the east elevation is faced with granite from Mahogany Creek with Donnybrook sandstone above. Paired ionic columns rise through three upper storeys. Red brick walls trimmed with stone are set back between stone towers and form the side and back walls.
The design was conceived in 1912 by Commonwealth architect, John Smith Murdoch, in association with Hillson Beasley (Western Australian Public Works Department). The initial contract was signed in 1914 and another (after delays due to a steel embargo and a strike) in 1921 for an additional two storeys. Construction was completed in 1923.

Nordstrom might be the busiest anchor in the mall. It features a restaurant and a man that plays a piano near the escalators.
International Plaza opened in 2001 on the site of the old Hall of Fame golf course. It was geared toward higher-end market, while also catering to customers from Tampa International Airport, located directly behind the mall. The two-level mall was the last enclosed mall constructed in the Tampa Bay Area. Its construction indirectly killed the long-ailing Tampa Bay Center, located about 1¾ miles to the northeast and caused West Shore Plaza, located one mile to the south, to remodel and greatly update its appearance and store offerings.
International Plaza opened with Dillard's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Lord and Taylor. Dillard's relocated from West Shore Plaza, while all of the other anchors were their respective companies' first stores on Florida's West Coast. International Mall was the first area mall to offer an outdoor lifestyle area, Bay Street, that features upscale clubs and restaurants and remains open after the mall closes. Lord and Taylor closed in 2004 and the building was split between two upscale furniture and interior design stores.
Since opening, the property has added business centers, a hotel, and various upscale outlots. The mall is always busy, even on weekdays.
Boy Scout Boulevard at West Shore, Tampa.
920 O Street
Completed in 1879 as a U.S. Post Office and Courthouse at a cost of $200,000 in Gothic Revival and French Second Empire style.
In 1906 a new U.S. Post Office and Courthouse was completed and the federal government sold the city of Lincoln the building for $50,000. It served as City Hall until 1969.
Placed on NRHP Oct. 15, 1969---No. 69000132.

Dating from the 12th century, the Maghoki-Attar Mosque in Bukhara is the oldest mosque in Central Asia. It also boasts an illustrious history of sacredness - remains of a Zoroastrian temple and a Buddhist temple have been found beneath it, and Jews once used it in the evenings.
This site was originally occupied by a Buddhist temple, then later a Zoroastrian temple that was built in the 5th century. Zoroastrianism was a monotheistic faith and the state religion of the Persian Empire before the rise of Islam.
The Zoroastrian temple was destroyed by the Arabs and replaced with a mosque in the 12th century, which was named Maghoki-Attar ("Pit of the Herbalists") because of the nearby spice bazaar.
The Maghoki-Attar Mosque is said to have been used by Jews as a synagogue in the evenings until it was rebuilt in the 16th century. An earthquake destroyed the mosque in 1860. It was excavated and restored in the 1930s, during which the earlier structures were found.
The Maghoki-Attar Mosque (also spelled Magoki-Attori) is a pleasing mishmash of the original 12th-century building (mainly in the southern facade and doorways) and the 16th-century reconstruction.
The plaza that surrounds the mosque is lower than the surrounding streets and is at the level of the town in the 12th century. When excavations began in the early 20th century, only the top of the mosque was visible.
Inside the mosque, visitors can see a section of the excavations that has been left exposed and an exhibition of Bukhara carpets and prayer rugs.
Names: Maghoki -Attar Mosque; Magoki-Attori Mosque; "Pit of the Herbalists" Mosque
Type of site: Mosque (with remains of Zoroastrian and Buddhist temples)
Location: North of the Taqi-Sarrafon Bazaar, Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Masonic Temple, Trowel Lodge #132, 235 Pearl Street, Jackson, Ohio. This lodge was chartered on October 22, 1845. The building dates from 1891.
All buildings are scratch built also using kit-bashed parts and pieces from various other building models -- I fully scratch-built the AUTOMAT and signs
St. Leonard's Street, West Malling, Kent, 21 Sep 2010. The Startled Saint used to be the local pub for the airmen stationed at nearby RAF West Malling. Sadly both the pub and the airfield have closed and been converted.
1898, W. & G. Audsley. This distinctive building fits loosely within the Classical Revival movement of the day but has a bit of an Egyptian look. The AIA guide says, "'Eclectic' was invented for stylistic collections such as this." It housed the White Star Line offices in New York; Cunard was right next door. This was where the traveling public came to book passage.
