Wall remains of workmen's building at Correen Quarry, above Terpersie House near Alford. It appears that the buildings were no longer in use by 1900, and the rooves had been removed. The wall shows the natural cleavage of the stone, illustrating how useful it was for paving and flagstones. stone is Andalusite-cordierite schist
A twenty-one storey housing block, with at least five columns of apartments, rises above the street. Cars are parked either side of the street, and power cables for building and trams cut the sky. One cable looks like it's running alongside the edge of the tower roof, in a pleasing illusion. There are public telephone booths near the towers. The towers are a light browny-grey colour, with darker brown rectangles under each row of main apartment windows. On the fifth floor wall, the words "Our Home" are formed in blue LED tubing. Eucalyptus trees adorn the footpath and a park next to the tower block.

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

Nave and chancel parish church of St. Leonard Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire 06/12/2008.
This is one of the oldest Norman churches in Warwickshire. The land was given to Coventry Priory in 1043 by Lord Leofric (him of Lady Godiva fame) mainly woodland and worth 100s. By 1086 the monks had chopped a good part of it down and it was only worth 60s. A small part of the ancient woodland still survives though.
The east wall was rebuilt possible in the 15th century of red sandstone.

This building is currently vacant and undergoing significant renovations. (That's a blue tarp on the roof.) It's made of concrete painted pink, and has a flat roof that may be made of metal (where is all that rust coming from?) It has stone pillars in front and decorative brackets under the eaves. A strange looking building all around, and very unlike the other buildings in downtown Manchester. I thought it was an old (probably turn of the century) commercial building at first, but I managed to find all the details on a real estate website. It is a single-family home built in 1916 and recently sold.

After this building was used to power the streetcars, it became Billings Feed. They are presently located at 221 N. Main in RO and their website states:
Billings started in the 1940's as a small feed store in downtown Royal Oak, selling everything from chicken scratch to dog food even hay for the horses. In the 1950's we decided to tackle a new beast and take on lawn equipment.We started out strictly selling mowers for the residential customer, but quickly started handling commercial equipment like Bobcat and Locke. In 2001 we relocated to our present facility (221 N. Main St.) as we transitioned the feed business out of our inventory and focused all of our time into the power equipment industry.
Wine market in works for old trolley building in downtown Royal Oak
metromode, 2/28/2008
A once empty oddity in downtown Royal Oak is now fully occupied since Cloverleaf Fine Wine announced plans to move into the St. Clair Edison building's basement space.
"We decided a downtown location would be much better as far as visibility," says Michael Chetcuti, owner of Cloverleaf and the St. Clair Edison building. "The basement with all of the reclaimed brick should be a wine cellar."
The business (moving from Southfield) is expected to open in mid March. Chetcuti, rehabbed the building on downtown's south side last year so he could move his cutting-edge automotive firm, Streetcar USA, there.
The structure, 711 S Main St., is more than 100 years old and was originally used to house generators that powered streetcars on Woodward Avenue for 50 years before becoming a warehouse. Its age made it obsolete but its historical character also made it attractive as a new home for the specialty auto technology firm.

According to the Township of Ocean Historical Society:
In close proximity to the site of the Little House stands"an enormous square-sided water tower and adjacent one-story building projecting horizontally from its north elevation." (As described in a July, 2002 report from the Cultural Resource Consulting Group about the property.) The study goes on to say that the water tower and attached farm building "are an eclectic combination of styles that include "Italianate, Federalist and Craftsman. Referencing a New England lighthouse with its obelisk form and wooden clapboard siding, the windowed tower is crowned by Italianate brackets (that) support a flat, overhanging eave that holds a smaller box-like windowed structure which provides the base for a 1 1/2 story, Federalist-inspired clapboard cabin-like shell that was meant to hide the water tank at the top of the tower."
The age and exact purpose of this intriguing tower is unknown, but it was in existence when Florence L. Haupt purchased the property. Her namesake granddaughter (Florence Haupt Teiger) said that the tower was in a decrepit state even then, and recalls that her brother used to chase her up to the rickety tower steps when they were kids. She also remembers the sight of pigeons roosting at its top.
Ira Haupt II recalled that the first floor of the tower held general farm implements, and a laborer was housed on its 2nd floor. A caretaker (called superintendent) of the property also lived in the cottage which was attached to the tower. However, during World War II, Haupt noted that there was no superintendent, and the cottage was rented out to Oakhurst's police chief-Chief Eisele. He kept his riding horse, called Pearl Harbor, in their cow barn. (It was through Chief Eisele that Florence got her love of riding.)
Stuart Haupt served as an Air Raid Warden during WWII. He would go out to Deal Road when the siren blew. Because of the gasoline shortage during the War, the Haupts spent two years (1943-44) living in New York City.

Although the coating factory later cutter house is to the left of these trees when this picture was taken you could almost imagine this land in 1862 when the villa was completed with it's trees , duckpond and landscaped areas all the way to the gatehouse lodge. Glencarron house was registered as a listed building in 2005 when the mill closed.

Many, many people have taken photos of this, but it's still worth doing before it's demolished to make way for Crossrail (the entire block is going).
Following the Riksgatan through the Riksdagshuset - Parliament. We have a clear view of the top of the Storkyrkan - Cathedral on Gamla Stan.
"Until 1905, during the bicameral period, the Swedish Parliament had its seat in Fleming Palace on Riddarholmen Island. It was then moved to a new building on Helgeandsholmen, but in 1971, due to lack of space, it had to be expanded, connecting the old palace with the one that had originally held the National Bank. Upon completion of the work in 1983, the new seat was opened to hold sessions of the unicameral Parliament in an enormous, practicaql, modern hall with the walls entirely pannelled in light birchwood. In the large inner halls, which still have interesting early 20th century architectural elements, including some imposing granite columns and marble staircases, there is an exquisite collection of paintings. Parliament still has some offices in Gamla Stan, which are connected by a network of underground passageways, while other government buildings are located in the City." - Guidebook.
