Derby Silk Mill is part of the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. This collective of buildings is on the foundations of the Lombe brothers’ 18th-century silk thread factory which introduced the world’s first fully mechanised factory.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £9.3m to restore and open up the Mill. The project plans include community involvement in the repair, design and re-making of the building to showcase Derby’s on-going story of technical innovation from the 1700’s to the present day.

Ah yes, Fort York. The old British garrison established in 1793 in which the modern city of Toronto grew around. Probably my favourite Fort in Canada for two reasons. The first being that most of the buildings on site are original the oldest dating to 1813, and that it is surrounded by the city today and has survived many attempts to remove or cut it in two.

New Propane-Fueled Minotour® Buses in Production at Thomas Built Buses
First School Bus Manufacturer to Achieve Zero-Waste to-Landfill Now Offers Propane Autogas Option
High Point, N.C. – Thomas Built Buses expanded its alternative-powered product offerings with the addition of a new propane-fueled Minotour® bus. Thomas Built’s green vehicle lineup also includes the Saf-T-Liner® C2e Hybrid and HDX compressed natural gas (CNG) models. A propane-fueled offering of the innovative Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 bus is in development and expected to be available in 2013.
“At Thomas Built, we want to produce a full line of buses that exceed current environmental standards. As the demand grows for sustainable transportation solutions, Thomas Built Buses is at the forefront of offering a robust line of alternative-powered vehicles including compressed natural gas, diesel-electric hybrid and propane technology,” said Kelley Platt, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. Thomas Built was the first and remains the only school bus manufacturer that is completely Zero-Waste-to-Landfill, building every bus with a high level of environmental standards.
The Thomas Built Minotour is a Type A bus, seating up to 30 passengers, making it an excellent choice for schools, childcare centers and churches. The propane option is available on the 159″ dual rear wheel (DRW) model with a GVWR of 14,200 lbs. Powered by a GM 6.0 liter liquid propane gas (LPG) engine with fully-integrated CleanFUEL USA liquid propane injection system, the 3-tank set-up has an estimated 315-mile range and a gas gallon equivalent of 35 gallons.
The propane-fueled Minotour is California Air Research Board-certified and exceeds EPA 2010 emissions requirements. Less expensive than a gallon of gasoline or diesel on a btu basis, propane is a green, clean-burning alternative fuel, with 20 percent less NOx and 12 percent less CO2 than gasoline. More than 90 percent of the propane used in the U.S. is domestically produced. Setting up propane fueling infrastructure is an easy and relatively low-cost proposition.
Thomas Built Buses has already delivered its first two propane-fueled Minotour buses to Student Transportation of America.

This photo was taken at San Francisco. Grey sky helped me to reflect this claustrophobic moment of mine.

Driving through Twin lakes Colorado on our way back to Rocky Mountain National Park, we came across this rustic old barn sitting abandoned on the edge of some wetlands.
Two bay house of 1759 constructed of well coursed squared stone and well cut quoins (corner stones). The majority of the windows have been enlarged, the thatched roof replaced with tile and a porch added. Date-stone located in the gable; this has a central rose motif which is found on other date-stones in the area. The timber lintels suggests that this building was not built with stone mullioned windows.
All Saints, Purleigh, Essex
From Mundon, I was planning to cycle back to Hatfield Peveril station rather than Chelmsford, and I pottered westwards to Purleigh.
James Bettley in the revised Pevsner observes cheerily that the church is well-sited on the top of what is, in these parts, a considerable hill. It certainly is. I could see it like a castle from a mile or so off, and entering the pretty village the road began to climb steeply. I slogged on in low gear into what turned out to be a very pretty village, very atmospheric, and the first place I'd visited to day that I could imagine wanting to live.
In the middle of the village is the church. Open. A big church - the first big church since Great Baddow, the first to be open. Entirely East Anglian in style, but built in the Kent fashion from layered flint and greenstone.
The interior full of light, only a few windows all of good quality by AK Nicholson. An unfair comparison after Mundon, of course, but strangely lacking in atmosphere. The hill beyond was even steeper, and I was glad I had approached from the east and not the west. A couple of miles further on brought me to the Chelmsford to Maldon road, and as I crossed it the landscape changed completely - now it was the Essex I remembered from bike rides last year, rich and green, hedgerows, pretty villages and the like.

When the building was finished, Miller's Ice Cream, an Eaton Rapids firm which had long operated a branch store in a woodframe building on the site, moved into a storefront at the far left. While she was a student at the University of Michigan, dancer and singer Madonna Ciccone had a part time job there, says Ann Arbor Flickerite Jim Rees.

Built 1907-11
Architect: Henry John Klutho
his was a piece written by Eric Hollerton:
"THE Prince of Wales Tavern stands on Liddell Street, North Shields, between Custom House Quay and the site of Seven Stars Quay.
It is believed that there has been a public house on the site since 1674.
Possibly the Roebuck in earlier years, it was certainly the Prince of Wales in 1842, when it was entered by Walton Emmerson, who also ran a seamen's shipping office there.
About 1851 it was taken by Henry and Lavinia Patterson, who held it until the mid-1860s. In later years they seem to have been at the Waterford Arms in Seaton Sluice.
One of the longest serving licensees was Daniel Bond, whose family occupied the house between 1893 and 1923.
From 1896 to 1959 the Prince of Wales was owned by W R Reid & Co, who sold it to Scottish Breweries in 1959.
In 1966 the magistrates refused to renew the licence.
The building was badly damaged in a fire the following year, and it became a store for J I Marshall.
In 1990 it was acquired by Samuel Smith's of Tadcaster.
It re-opened in 1992, and the brewery celebrated by commissioning a new Wooden Dolly to stand in traditional place on Custom House Quay."
Gebouw Delftse Poort (Gate of Delft Building) is an office complex consisting of two skyscrapers located on Weena 505 next to the Rotterdam Centraal railway station in Rotterdam. The taller tower's (Until May 2009, the highest office in The Netherlands) height is 151 meters 41 floors and the shorter tower's height is 93 metres 25 floors. Both towers are built over a 4-story multifunctional podium which adjoins the Rotterdam central station. The entire complex has 28 elevators. The gross floor area in the complex is 106,000 square metres and the offices occupy 66,000 sq m.
It was constructed between 1989 and 1992. The cost of the construction is 240,000,000 Guilders, or about US$130,000,000. Due to a metro tunnel running underneath the complex, advanced construction methods were required, allowing only a single underground floor to be built. Since the main user of the building is a Dutch Company called 'Nationale Nederlanden' (National Netherlands) the building is also known as 'Nationale Nederlanden building'. Nationale Nederlanden is the local insurance branch of ING Insurance.

A residential and commercial neighborhood in Songjiang - 30km from central Shanghai. Most of the houses were bought by investors or people who live in Shanghai during the week and are empty.
Built to resemble an English town, some of the architecture has been directly copied from buildings found in England, including the church (copied from one in Clifton, Bristol) and a pub and fish and chip shop - now closed (copied from buildings in Lyme Regis, Dorset).
At least 80% of the shops are vacant and there are no pedestrians or traffic. However, it is reasonably maintained and a pretty area.
