Holt is located on wooded high ground of the Cromer-Holt ridge at the crossing point of two ancient by-ways and as such was a natural point for a settlement to grow. The town has a mention in the great survey of 1086 known as the Domesday Book. In the survey it is described as a market town and a port with the nearby port of Cley next the Sea being described as Holt’s port. It also had five watermills and twelve plough teams and as such was seen as a busy thriving viable settlement then.
The first Lord of the Manor was Walter Giffard; it passed to Hugh, Earl of Chester, who then left it to the De Vaux family. By this time Holt had a well-established market and two annual fairs which were held on the 25th of April and the 25th of November. Over the years Holt grew as a local place of trade and commerce.
On 1 May 1708 the town of Holt was devastated by a fire which destroyed most of the medieval town in the matter of three hours. The fire started at Shirehall Plain and quickly spread through the timber houses of the town. The church was also badly damaged with its thatched chancel destroyed and the lead melted from the windows with the flames spreading up the steeple. Local reports of the time state that the fire spread so swiftly that the butchers did not have time to rescue their meat from their stalls on the market.
With most of the medieval buildings destroyed in the fire the townsfolk set about rebuilding the town. The rebuilding made Holt notable for its abundance of Georgian buildings, that being the style of the day at the time when the town centre was rebuilt. However, the town repaired and retains its Norman parish church, which is dedicated to St Andrew.

The East Washington Street entrance to the University Building. Built in 1897 by Syracuse University on donated land which was once the site of the Remington Block. This Renaissance Revival building was originally a combined commercial venture and quarters for the University's Law School. The University sold its interest in 1971 but the name remains. The building featured small ground floor shops that faced the street, with a grand foyer and stairway leading to the main public floor above. The very high arched windows on the main floor are typical of the style. Above this are office floors, topped by an elaborate metal cornice. Located at 120 East Washington Street in Syracuse, NY.

Went for a walk around London with two mini projects. Numbers and a second project to capture ‘old London’. Buildings such as pubs, old warehouses, factories, churches etc, that although their function may have changed, probably haven’t physically changed much since they were built.

John J. Pershing Auditorium...
The interior of the War Memorial building has three main floors. The upper level is the Shrine Room which is made up of materials from all over the world, symbolizing peace and unity and is symbolic of the world wide nature of World War I. The building also houses administrative offices, two 75-seat meeting rooms, the Pershing Auditorium which seats 500 (which are all available for public use) and a Military Museum that portrays the history of Indiana's gallant veterans and a listing of names of all Hoosiers killed or missing in action including Vietnam.
In all of my travels, I don't think I've ever seen a war memorial quite so grand as this one.
Dilapidated buildings now scheduled for demolition. Formerly a maltings and then an engineering workshop, they will be replaced by another bland supermarket extension and car park. Another bit of history gone!

The Édifice Price (Price Building) is an 18-floor (originally 16) skyscraper in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Built in 1928–1930 amid controversy for Price Brothers Limited, it is the tallest building in the Old Quebec historical district, as well as one of the oldest skyscrapers in Canada. The building is the property of Ivanhoé Cambridge, a subsidiary of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. A memorial is attached to the building. In 2001, it became the location of an official residence for the Premier of Quebec, which occupies two of the upper floors.
