Lichfield's main claim to fame is it's three spired Cathedral dedicated to St Chad, unique as it's the only Medieval built Cathedral with 3 spires which have since been given the title 'The Ladies of the Vale'.
The building is built from red sandstone which was provided from a quarry not far from the city.
A Norman building originally stood on this site, but was gradually replaced with the present Gothic structure started in 1195 and was finished in the late 14th-Century.
The Cathedral is also noted for being partially destroyed during the Civil war when it was being used as a defensive fortress due to Lichfield's lack of Castle, The glass was smashed, the roof caved in and the Central Spire collapsed. After the war work began rebuilding under control of Bishop Hackett, it was only until the 19th-Century that the work was finally completed.
The Nave of the Cathedral is said to lean outwards due to the weight of the vaulted ceiling so flying buttresses were built and some stone was removed to prevent a collapse.
Peoria office / regional headquarters for IDOT. When I took the photo I though it was an abandoned building, but looking closer it is simply a closed entrance.

These architectures were there for centuries and it's just fascinating to see how they stayed the same and are probably doing the exact same thing a few hundred years from now

Bladud Buildings (1755-62) was probably designed by either Thomas Jelly or Thomas Warr Atwood and the first of three great joined terraces in which (unusually) the front and rear elevations are identical, although the rear elevation has several other floors as it is much taller since the terrace is built along a cliff edge on massive foundations.
