The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.
Originally the goods yard contained two goods sheds one of these being situated on a loop siding that was laid on a parallel alignment to the passenger station.
it was a brick-built structure which was built to a typical Oswestry and Newtown design for that period internally it had a brick-faced wooden platform which extended the full length of the building but allowed for a single line which ran through and out to the rear to a further loading area. A bay was provided for on the roadside which was protected by two internal overlapping doors that could be half closed or half opened while a corrugated half-moon canopy ran the full length of the opening.
large sliding doors protected the front and the rear of the shed, the former door hanging off external runners while the latter hung off an internal runner which was situated between the main structure and the goods office. The goods office was situated on the eastern gable with access being made via steps leading to the office door internally the office was connected to the loading platform by a communicating door.
In the final years, the goods shed road was reduced in length it being terminated a short way before the shed doors The internal platform was then extended up to the inner-facing wall and a small doorway was knocked through thus allowing for the transfer of goods to be made from the reception road
Freight traffic was conveyed by a daily branch pick-up service train which generally departed from the main yard at Oswestry. The train was formed with Llanymynech wagons next to the engine followed by Llansantffraid and Llanfyllin next to the brake. Departing Oswestry at 11.0 am it gave engine crews plenty of time to carry out the shunt at Llanymynech before the 11.53 am departure for Llanfyllin, having called at Llansantffraid where half an hour was allowed for shunting operations the train arrived at Llanfyllin at around 12.46 pm.
On arrival, the train ran into the station platform where the engine stopped clear of the engine release crossover. The engine then ran around and drew the wagons clear. If the train was too long for the station run round the movement was made via the far loop ground frame which was released with the key on the token. The usual procedure was to drop the break van in front of the goods shed and then take the other wagons and put them into the yard and either put them aside or use them to collect the empties which were knocked down onto the brake to form the return train. finally, the loads were positioned as required.
Outward goods traffic included scrap metal which came from a local scrap merchant Arnold and Parks who had a yard in nearby Bridge Street.
Occasionally, tree trunks were loaded onto bolster wagons using a rail-mounted crane, which when needed was brought up from Oswestry and shunted into the shed road, wagons were then put onto the road alongside the run round and trunks craned across onto them.
The forestry commission delivered pit props to the station for dispatch to coal mines in South Wales. these were dealt with at the loading dock opposite the station platform.
Inwards goods traffic consisted of coal which was received by a local merchant Eddie Rees Davies who had an office near the yard entrance.
Other commodities included basic slag, lime and animal feeds.

Santa Maria dei Miracoli presso San Celso is a church and a sanctuary. The construction was begun by Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono and Giovanni Battagio in 1493, to house a miraculous icon of the Madonna, initially on the central plan. The first part to be built was the octagonal dome, covered externally by a tambour with a loggia and arcades decorated by twelve brickwork statues by Agostino De Fondulis, designed in Lombard style by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1494-1498). In 1506 to the original edifice a complex with nave and two aisles was added, the former covered by a monumental barrel vault also by Amadeo; the presbytery received a polygonal ambulatory inspired to that in the Duomo. In the 16th century also the square portico in classical style was added, perhaps designed by Cesare Cesariano or Cristoforo Lombardo (il Lombardino). The massive eclectic and Mannerist style façade was designed by Galeazzo Alessi in the late 16th century and was realized by Martino Bassi; it is decorated by numerous statues and reliefs by Stoldo Lorenzi and Annibale Fontana.
Комплекс Санта-Мария дей Мираколи состоит из церкви Св. Цельсия (chiesa di San Celso) и храма Санта-Мария прессо Сан-Челсо (Santa Maria presso San Celso). Первая церковь, восходящая к древним временам, была перестроена в 996 году рядом с бенедиктинским монастырем, при реконструкции в XI веке она была перестроена в романском стиле: трехнефная базилика с единой абсидой. Нынешний фасад, продвинутый назад, по сравнению с оригинальным, является результатом стилистической реконструкции, осуществленной Луиджи Каноника (1851-54). Справа возвышается мощная колокольня в романо-ломбардском стиле, являющаяся одной из старейших в городе. Сантуарий был выполнен после 1490 года и заменил небольшую капеллу поздней готики (1429-39), которая уже не вмещала большого количества паломников, приходивших поклониться чудодейственному образу Девы Марии, хранившемуся там. Строительство купола (украшенного статуями из терракоты Агостина де Фонтутиса) и тибуриума было поручено Джованни Антонио Амадео и Джан Джакомо Дольчебуоно в 1497 году. В 1505 году Кристофоро Солари начинает строительство тройного портика перед фасадом, который стал первым миланским образцом зрелого классицизма; внутри открытая кладка кирпича с отдельными коринфскими бронзовыми капителями, снаружи отделан белым мрамором. Позднее церковь быда расширена под руководством Чезаре Чезариано (с 1513 года) и Кристофоро Ломбардо (с 1528 г.) путем строительства крытой галереи и боковых нефов. В 1563 году начались работы на фасаде, по проекту Галеаццо Алесси, позднее дополненные Мартино Басси.

One of the things i understood when i was in Vanuatu was the religion system: on the island, you have Presbyterian,Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Seventh-day Adventists. They all work on the same system: they try to convert those people who have some long time believes in many spirits stuff, and once they are converted to their new religion, the kid have to got to school...and pay for education! When i was in Malekula i had the chance to see a local conference of an english priest, and it was a shame to hear him selling religion like a product to his staff...

The announcement made in October 2009 by General Secretary Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to have built 100,000 apartments in Pyongyang by 2012 officially aims at facing the housing shortage in the capital city. But it also represents a challenge to give evidence of the communist regime overall prosperity. The Stalinian regime had already pretended to amaze the rest of the world in the 1950’s claiming its ability to construct an apartment for a family in 14 minutes only!
This time it might be a little different. Despite the university students’ conscription and the mobilization of the army, many observers doubt the ability of North Korea to complete the buildings by its founder’s 100th birthday in 2012. In fact, it is not only a matter of housing: the energy and water supply as well as transports for 100,000 families need the building of extra-infrastructure.
Lately, reports have emerged of construction projects having been downsized and sites idling due to materials shortages. By the end of 2011, only 500 units are built, which forces the authorities to reduce the target to 20,000 to 25,000 apartments in total.

Naqsh-e Rustam is one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring ancient sites of the Achaemenid Empire, consisting of the colossal tombs of Persian kings dating back to the first millennium BC. It stands as a lasting memory of a once powerful empire that ruled over a significant portion of the ancient world.
