Folly Hall Mill, Huddersfield, is a Grade 2 listed building dating from 1844. The spinning mill was in use for nearly 150 years until its closure in 1993. The fireproof mill was most famously occupied by Joseph Lumb's, a world renowned producer of fine worsted yarn. Lumb's 'Golden Bale' is still internationally recognized as a standard for worsted. The wool used to make the quality yarn in the mill came from Austrailia and a large proportion of the workforce were bused in from Barnsley.
One of the main reasons we went to Malta was to check out the connection with Game of Thrones. We took a tour provided by Malta Film Tours. Our guide was Malcolm Ellul. Malcolm was in several episodes in Season 1. The tour was excellent. Malcolm had to rearrange some sights due to the Royal Wedding in London (this caused some buildings to be closed). We had a great time and covered a lot of ground. Most of the photos in this album are directly related to GOT, the other shots are cool things we saw while on the tour. If you have a chance to take this tour, go for it!
I took these photos in May 2018.
For a while now I've been planning to get some photographs of places of my youth in Dudley,as it was a nice morning I finally got around to it

New York's Chinatown has pushed eastward over time, and this section on East Broadway is bustling. Note the Chinatown Bus and relatively new construction.
Much of Salford's Sacred Trinity church dates from 1752, and this grand old building stands defiantly whilst modern city construction work seems to be happening all around.

This is a set of historical photos of Freshacres Nurseries Ltd, Roundstone Lane, Angmering. The nursery site was sold to property developers in July 2000, and has since become part of the Bramley Green housing estate.
The site had been empty for a few months ... there were just a few more things we had been sent over to pick up.
This big shed was where the fresh horse manure was delivered every week (Friday, as I recall). It was forked off the open lorry manually ... what a job! The manure was steamy hot and very smelly.
It was put into large flat boxes ... heated up in the peak heating room ... spawned (seeded) with mushroom spores ... went through a couple more processes ... then the boxes were finally stacked in one of the ten mushroom sheds (in rotation) where the mushrooms grew and were picked.
This would be about where Horton Place is now.

Former Hanover Bank, Hanover Square, Financial District, Manhattan
One of the finest buildings of the Anglo-Italianate Style in New York City is India House, built for the Hanover Bank between 1851 and 1854. This building has played an important role in the commercial life of New York, having served as the New York Cotton Exchange between 1870 and 1886 and having later become the offices of W.R.Grace & Co. Today India House is a clubhouse containing a fine maritime museum, and it also stands as a surviving example of the commercial life of mid-Nineteenth Century New York.
This brownstone building with its handsome doorway, cornice and pedimented windows illustrates Anglo-Italianate architecture to perfection. Above a strong base the smooth masonry walls rise to a well-detailed cornice, carried on closely-spaced brackets.
The entrance is made effective with Corinthian columns and a fine railing above (balustrade). As an example of a large, freestanding symmetrical Anglo-Italianate building, India House has few to equal it in architectural excellence in the City.
Although built for a bank, this building is important because it was basically a prototype of the New York brownstone residence.
At the public hearing, James Marley, President of Local 6 of the Hotel, Motel and Club Employees Union, testified about India House as follows: "I wish to state at the outset that I am not here to plead for the jobs of the workers employed there .... The fact is that this is a tourist City. People from all over the world come here to look at us, both as we are and as we were. When come here, they stay in the hotels and motels of the City. Workers who might no longer find employment in India House could find it elsewhere if the attractions of old New York remain. Should at any time India House cease to be a club, it should nevertheless be maintained as a Landmark ....
The site too is important, for placed as it is, in the center of the financial district, it adds to the cityscape and gives a feeling of warmth and intimacy to the surroundings 1 which are of almost unrelieved concrete and steel. It is the very kind of architecture and site of India House which attracts so many visitors to our City. The entire area is almost completely populated on Saturdays and Sundays with tourists carrying cameras who are seeking to find some small part of New York as it once was ....
If India House as it now stands were to be dismantled or moved, it would be a great loss to all of us. Indeed, such short sightedness applied to this and other Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century buildings in New York could wipe out all evidence of the periods of growth of our City."
On the basis of a careful consideration of the history, the architecture and other features of this building, the Landmarks Preservation Commission finds that India House has a special character, special historical and aesthetic interest and value as part of the development, heritage and cultural characteristics of New York City.
The Commission further finds that, among its important qualities, India House is one of the few surviving New York banking houses of the mid-Nineteenth Century, that it is a rare and outstanding example of a symmetrical Anglo-Italianate Brownstone and that it symbolizes the important period during which the City was achieving its first major growth.

The Arch of Constantine and The Roman Coliseum, Rome-IT
The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, from which it differs by spolia, the extensive re-use of parts of earlier buildings.
O Arco de Constantino é um arco triunfal em Roma, a curta distância para oeste do Coliseu. Foi erigido para comemorar a vitória de Constantino sobre Maxêncio na Batalha da Ponte MÃlvio, 312 AD. A batalha está representada na banda pouco esculpida sobre o lado direito do arco, na frente oposta ao Coliseu.
