Grade 2 listed in 1982, this is the river facing side of the former warehouse and wharfage prior to being converted to expensive luxury accomodation. Built 1873 it was considered the latest in industrial design, featuring fireproof floors, brick-vaulted basements and wrought iron roof trusses. During the 1970's it became home to workshops and artists studios before it was converted into loft apartments and restaurants.

You can find these drainage pipes everywhere in berlin. As long as the groundwater level is down to just 2,50m these pipes will stay for a long time.

Church Hill, Bentinck
A vehicle in the fleet of Butlers of Kirkby-in-Ashfield I had not caught up with up to this point was PN05CVB, which was new to Holmeswood Coaches. On 4th March 2025 it was seen climbing Church Hill towards Kirkby Cross having just left the company's Bentinck compound to work a contract for Ashfield School Post 16 students.
Cragside is a country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a forest garden of just under 1,000 acres, it was the country home of armaments manufacturer, Lord Armstrong, and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1977. The property was opened to the public in 1979.
Cragside, named after Cragend Hill above the house, was built in 1863 as a modest two-storey country lodge, but was subsequently extended to designs by Richard Norman Shaw, transforming it into an elaborate mansion in the Free Tudor style. At one point, the building included an astronomical observatory and a scientific laboratory. The Grade I listed house is surrounded by one of Europe's largest rock gardens, a large number of rhododendrons and a large collection of mostly coniferous trees. One variety of rhododendron is named after Lady Armstrong.
Lord Armstrong spent much of his time as a child in Rothbury to get away from industrial Newcastle to alleviate his ill health. He returned to Rothbury after not having a holiday for many years and decided to build a modest house on the side of a moorland crag. The original house was completed in 1863 by an unknown architect but was transformed by architect Richard Norman Shaw between 1869 and 1884 into an imposing mansion. Cragside is an example of his English Gothic style. The interiors are of national importance for its collection of furnishings, furniture (much designed especially for Cragside), and fine and decorative arts, including work by many other outstanding designers of the age, such as John Hancock and Albany Hancock and William Morris.
In 2007, Cragside reopened after undergoing "total refurbishment."
In 1868, a hydraulic engine was installed, with water being used to power labour-saving machines such as laundry equipment, a rotisserie and a hydraulic lift. Armstrong was inspired by a watermill on the Dee in Dentdale, and in 1870, water from one of the estate's lakes was used to drive a Siemens dynamo in what was the world's first hydroelectric power station. The resultant electricity was used to power an arc lamp installed in the Gallery in 1878. The arc lamp was replaced in 1880 by Joseph Swan's incandescent lamps in what Swan considered 'the first proper installation' of electric lighting.
The generators, which also provided power for the farm buildings on the estate, were constantly extended and improved to match the increasing electrical demand in the house. The 2006 regeneration project included extensive rewiring.
A new screw turbine was installed in 2014; it can provide 12 kW, supplying around 10% of the property's electricity consumption. The new system uses an Archimedes' screw 17 metres (56 ft) long.
The use of electricity in many of the houses gadgets and internal systems has also led it to be described by some as a smart home as it was the first private residence to use incandescent lighting, a dish washer, a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine. One of Armstrong's stated aims of both using and funding these new automation technologies was to "emancipate the world from household drudgery", as shown on a plaque at Bamburgh Castle, his other residence.
The forthcoming Benedict Cumberbatch film “The Current War” was filmed partly at Cragside - the film tells the story of electricity pioneers Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse.
of course about the only thing vintage is the frame, fork and Simplex retro-friction shifters. The Suntour derailleurs and hubs/cassette are early 90's.
The other yard in Milwaukee was CNW's Butler Yard. Always a good place to go after being at the Milw. yards all day. Butler was a great place for catching "furin" power on the mainline trains that came in to pick set-out blocks of cars. odd locomotives, and prehistoric engines like Geep 9 rebuild 4329. Butler had an engine facility, and judging by the patina on this geep, a state of the art weathering department.
