The Old House of Keys in Castletown - part of the Tynwald, the Isle of Man Government, the House of Keys met in this purpose-built building from 1821 until 1874, when it followed other Government offices and departments and moved to Douglas. It is preserved by Manx Heritage as it would have appeared in 1866; this was a momentous period in Manx History when the House of Keys became directly elected and the Island embraced democracy.
The House of Keys has had 24 members since the 16th Century (the word 'Keys' is thought to be an abbreviation/corruption of the House's Manx Gaelic name 'Yn Chiare as Feed', meaning 'The four-and-twenty'). Members of the House of Keys, or MHKs, are mostly Independents although three of the current incumbents are affiliated to Liberal Vannin, the Manx Liberal Party, and one to the Manx Labour Party.
Castletown is dominated by the medieval Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe and ancient home of the Kings and later Lords of Mann. Tynwald, the Manx Government, was based in Castle Rushen by the 1500s and Castletown was the Island's capital until Tynwald moved to Douglas during the 1860s and 1870s.

Taken during different trips to Yuyuan Garden, which is perfectly hidden away inside some walls which shelter it from the hustle and bustle of normal life in Shanghai.
The garden is like a maze, you think you've seen it all and then there's a crack in a wall that once you pass through reveals a whole new section that you haven't been before.

Some historical background is in order: Congo was a colony of Belgium during the 19th century, and for the last 12 years has been in civil war. Almost four million people have died during the fighting. They just had elections, though.

I love the way the slight curvature of the windows has magnified and dissected various details of the reflected building. The reflection is of the Allen County Courthouse, Ft. Wayne, IN.

Under the roof of Norwich railway station.
"Norwich railway station provides the scene for the opening of a ‘Swallows and Amazons‘ novel, and features in Joseph Losey‘s 1971 film version of LP Hartley‘s ‘The Go-Between‘. The station, which sees about two-and-a-half million passengers pass through it every year, has managed to retain its essential Victorian character, and is the only remaining one of the three which once served the city. Standing close to the River Wensum, across the Foundry Bridge from the city, it is a Grade II listed building, and acts as a terminus for trains from London Liverpool Street, as well as Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Sheringham, Ely and the city of Liverpool.
The present building
The present building opened in 1886, built to a design by John Wilson. It is constructed of red brick and stucco, in a classic style, with an ironwork and glass concourse. "
It doesn't have a blue sign like John Lennon's because you have to be dead or 100 years old to get one.
Kingston is a historically interesting city and has a unique three downtown layout. Confusingly, Uptown, rather than the "downtown" Rondout waterfront, is where the county courthouse and most significant downtown buildings are located. Uptown is also the oldest of the three and was originally part of a Dutch stockade. On this Saturday, the streets were closed off for a farmers market.
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!
