The 19th century Bandstand on Brighton’s seafront is a truly beautiful structure, bringing back the days when a local or guest band would give an afternoon concert for the pleasure of passers-by and people relaxing in deckchairs.
The bandstand, constructed in 1884 and known affectionately by locals as ‘The Birdcage’, has been magnificently restored to its full glory in a project funded by Brighton and Hove City Council and involving local architects ABIR and Cheesemur building contractors. The result is absolutely stunning. It’s now considered to be one of the finest examples of surviving Victorian bandstands anywhere in England, and it's easy to see why.
And the spirit of past days lives on. Every Sunday afternoon during June, July and August, bands still put on free public performances. The bandstand is also available for private hire.

The Grade II Listed former St Marks Railway Station which has been converted into a St Marks Shopping centre, off the High Street in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Built in 1846 by Midland Railway and Lincoln's first railway station opening in 3rd August 1846. The architect is unknown but it may have been I A Davies of the Midland Railway. The building contractor was John Burton under the charge of the line engineer W H Barlow. Two platforms originally c 90m long, later extended, covered by double roof resting on side walls and supported by iron columns between rails. Four tracks, the inner two being sidings. Station was terminus until 1848 when end-on joining to Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway necessitated level crossing across High Street. Building was originally lit by gas.
Roof was removed in April 1957, with a canopy erected over part of north platform. A small waiting room was placed on south platform. Station buildings were on the north platform. Entrance via steps through prostyle portico supported on Ionic style columns. At rear of portico and at east and west extremities of exterior are Doric style pilasters. A turntable was situated on the south side from c1870 to at least 1930s.
To save duplication of operating two stations in 1985 the station closed when services were diverted to the nearby Lincoln Central station. The construction of a new 80 metre length of track to the west allowed services from Newark to reach Lincoln Central. The grand ionic portico that was once the entrance has been preserved and, as of January 2007, is home to Lakeland Limited as part of the commercial development of the site.
A mock signalbox has also been erected in the car park on which has been affixed an original sign from the station. The remainder of the former station site is now St. Marks Shopping Centre. The redevelopment in keeping with the preserved buildings won an Ian Allan heritage award in 2009, commemorated by a plaque.

The Grade II* Listed St Mary's Church, Holyhead Road in Betws-y-Coed, County Conwy, North Wales.
The church was built in 1873 at a cost of £5,000 to replace the Medieval church of St. Michael, which had by then become too small to accommodate the fast-growing parish; the tower was completed in 1907. It was designed by E G Paley and J H Austin, architects of Lancaster and was built by O Gethin D Jones, building contractor of Penmachno; the land and some of the building stone were given by Lord Willoughby De Eresby of Gwydir Castle.

I had just stepped off the train in the background to find this old bus parked in the Largs station yard. It was clearly not long for this world. Like many a redundant bus of the time, it had been acquired by a building contractor for site transport. As well as providing a rudimentary hand-painted registration plate, someone had thought fit to paint ‘London’ in its destination aperture. The bus is a 1950 Leyland PD2/1 with Leyland bodywork. Its registration of JP8304 shows that it had once been part of the Wigan Corporation fleet. It is unlikely to have ever made that trip to London.

Eking out its final days, this Leyland PD1 Titan was recorded in a yard near Partick station, Glasgow. It was in the hands of Spencer, a building contractor. A Class 303 EMU rumbles past, heading to a North Clydeside destination. The passing car appears to be a Hillman Minx Mark IV. The bus originated with W. Alexander & Son in 1947, carrying Leyland-style Alexander lowbridge bodywork. Numbered RA31 (BWG76), it retained its blue livery when it was allocated to Alexander Midland when the company was split in 1961, becoming MRA31.

From the catalogue issued to accompany the 1959 exhibtion on the UK's fifteen designated New Towns an advert for a slightly rare beast in all of them - private development property. Although intended to include a planned, balanced mix of homes and industrial developments the New Towns, usually run by Development Corporations that 'over-ruled' aspects of local authority control, were mostly built with social housing and so homes such as this were in a minority.
Wates are still in business as a construction company and date back to 1897. In the pre-war period they were into speculative suburban development in quite a way but during the war, and post-war period, moved into more general construction. This advert is for 'luxury' homes in Basildon and Slough (not a New Town as such) with, shortly, homes being built in Hemel Hempstead and Crawley.
From the catalogue issued to accompany the 1959 exhibtion on the UK's fifteen designated New Towns this advert for Leslie & Co, who appear to have had quite a geographic spread, takes the form of using the contemporary design of road signs to "point the way'. They appear to have been involved in construction projects at four of the New Towns - Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and Basildon.

Taylor Woodrow, formed in 1921 by Frank Taylor of Blackpool and his uncle, Jack Woodrow, who the story goes came into the business as Frank was to young to legally buy land. The company flourished in the 1930s suburban development of London and after wartime work on mostly military building projects, they moved into more general construction as well as houses. I can recall many of their signs, and the four man logo, on numerous 1960s and '70s building schemes in various towns and cities up and down the UK. The name still survives although they are now the subsidiery of a French multi-national.
