"Built in Canada in 1953, before they started driving on the wrong side of the road. Pulled it out of a paddock near Toowoomba last year. All original except for one headlamp. You want to buy it? I wouldn't let it go for under 8 grand. If nobody wants it I'll do it up myself - done one before. I'll be 80 next year, time to retire. It'd give me something to do I suppose."
Built in 1821. In 1970, a fire, natural in origin, consumed the church leaving only bare stone walls. The bell partially melted from from the fire.
The barracks were built between 1717 and 1721 by Nicholas Hawksmoor for the Board of Ordnance to protect the town during the Jacobite risings. The work, which involved two parallel blocks of military accommodation, was supervised by Captain Thomas Phillips. An additional block was added between 1739 and 1741. After the Napoleonic Wars the barracks were abandoned but put back into use in the 1850s.
Following the Childers Reforms, the barracks became the depot of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, who arrived from Fulford Barracks in July 1881. The regiment moved out of the barracks in 1963 and they are now maintained by English Heritage.
Nicholas Hawksmoor was an English architect. He was a leading figure of the English Baroque style of architecture in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries

Elegant Hindu shrines built in 700 AD . It is considered the finest early example of medieval southern Indian temple architecture. Unlike most of its neighbours at the site, it is built of cut stones rather than carved out of caves. It has two shrines, one dedicated to Shiva and the other to Vishnu. Its style is characterized by a pyramidal kutina-type tower that consists of stepped stories topped by a cupola and finial, a form quite different from the northern Indian sikhara. The Mamallapuram monuments and temples, including the Shore Temple complex, were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marco Polo and the European merchants who came to Asia after him called the site Seven Pagodas. One of these is believed to be the Shore Temple. Temple complex in the category of structural temples goes to the King Rajasimha (700–728 AD), also known as Narasimhavarman II, of the Pallava Dynasty. It is now inferred that this temple complex was the last in a series of temples that seemed to exist in the submerged coastline; this is supported by the appearance of an outline of its sister temples off the coast during the Tsunami of 2004 which struck this coastline.

With the California Gold Rush, settlements sprung up rapidly where none existed before. French Corral was one of these. In these hastily constructed camps though, fires were an ongoing problem, often razing settlements to the ground, many more than once.
Banks ended up needing to engage stonemasons to build fireproof buildings to gain the confidence of their customers. This Wells Fargo Express is an excellent example of these fireproof constructions, not just the switch from wood to brick, but also the iron doors and shutters they used. Wells Fargo pretty much had a presence in every mining community in California, with not just banking, but before railroads reached California, freight and express services too.
In many cases, their building remains the only real evidence that a gold rush town even existed. This one would have sat beside hotels, saloons, a hardware store, and a post office, all made from wood or canvas. Now, it stands largely alone, like a farm building rather than part of a town. Appropriately, I took this picture during fire season and the entire sky is a haze from grass fires close by.
Wells Fargo was founded in 1852, and this building was constructed the very next year.
Built by Alexander who was the Duke of Hamilton, he lived from 1767 to 1852, the structure was incomplete at the time of his death, he was later interred in the mausoleum on completion, he was fascinated with Egyptian history so was berried in a huge sarcophagus, he was the only member of his family that wasn't housed in the walls of the mausoleum but placed on a huge slab below ground level, the rest of his family were interred in the walls on a lower level to The Duke. He wanted a place where all his relatives could be together, in the 1920's there was subsidence due to water ingress from the river Clyde so all the family were relocated to a local cemetery as there was a risk of the structure collapsing, works were succesfully completed to save the structure. Before succeeding to the dukedom, he was Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, Colonel of the Militia, and MP for Lancaster. He was later appointed Ambassador to Russia, and travelled extensively in Russia and Poland.

Jaywick Martello Tower, built 1804-9 as part of a 74 tower defensive coastal network against the threat of invasion by the French under Napoleon Bonaparte. The tower contained cannon and howitzers, it's walls are around 9' thick and constructed of 750,000 London clay bricks made in Grays, Essex.
During the construction the building began to sink into the salt marsh under it's own weight meaning that extensive work was necessary to stabilise the foundations.
The building is now an arts, heritage and exhibition centre.
