King's Newnham is a village and civil parish located just under 2.5 miles west of the town of Rugby and 4.5 miles east of Coventry. For population details see Church Lawford. It is within the borough of Rugby and Warwickshire county council.
The village lost most of its population as a result of enclosures of the former Royal Manor. Its parish church, St Laurence's, was built in the 12th century and partially demolished 1795–97. This left the mostly 16th-century tower and the church disused. The five other listed buildings of the parish are very close relative to the distant northern parish border: Farm Building near Newnham Hall, The Laurels, Highfield House, Newnham Hall and Manor Farmhouse

A big part of the Babberspolder quarter in Vlaardingen is renewed. Older apartment blocks and houses from the 50s are demolished and new ones erected. Although it is now a nice place to live I find the renewal a bit to much. In my opinion it was nicer that they had kept some of the old buildings as a historic layer. Now it looks as a standerd new housing estate. The church in the centre of the picture is one of the few things they have kept.

Die Zeche Consolidation, meist kurz Zeche Consol genannt, war der wirtschaftliche Motor der Stadt Gelsenkirchen. Bereits in den 1870er Jahren zählte die Zeche Consolidation zu den förderstärksten im Ruhrgebiet. In kurzer Folge wurde ein Schacht nach dem anderen abgeteuft. In 130 Jahren wurden über drei Millionen Tonnen Kohle gefördert.
Schacht 9 wurde 1915 begonnen, die Förderung begann aufgrund des Ersten Weltkriegs jedoch erst nach 1918. 1922 wurde das Fördergerüst als zweigeschossiges Doppelstrebegerüst noch in Fachwerkbauweise erbaut. Da sich zeitgleich die Vollwandbauweise durchsetzte war es das letzte seiner Art und ist heute eines der wenigen noch existierenden. Zeitgleich wurde das südliche Maschinenhaus vom Zechenbaumeister Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927) erbaut. Die Besonderheit im Maschinenhaus ist die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine von 1963, die letzte Dampfmaschine, die von der Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen gefertigt wurde. Das nördliche Maschinenhaus wurde 1937 als kubisch gestalteter Ziegelbau von Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897–1950) erbaut. 1938 wurde dort eine Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine aus der Gutenhoffnungshütte installiert.
Auf der Zeche Consol wurden nach ihrer Stillegung und Renovierung vier Kulturprojekte gestartet. Eines ist die Kunstinstallation im nördlichen Maschinenhaus von Werner Thiel (1927-2003). Die anderen sind das Consol Theater, das Musikprobenzentrum Consol 4 sowie das südliche Maschinenhaus mit der Bergbausammlung des IBC.
Die Bergbausammlung des IBC besitzt als zentrales Ausstellungsstück die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine. Sie hat eine Leistung von 4.100 PS und ein Gewicht von 285 Tonnen. Die Fördermaschine hob Nutzlasten von circa 12t mit 18m/s (65km/h) aus dem über 1.000 Meter tiefen Schacht. Jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat wird sie live vorgeführt.
The Conso colliery, usually called consol, was the economic engine of the city of Gelsenkirchen. As early as the 1870s, the Consolidation colliery was one of the strongest in the Ruhr area. In a short sequence, one shaft after another was demolished. Over three million tonnes of coal have been mined in 130 years.
Shaft 9 was started in 1915, but due to the First World War, production did not begin until after 1918. In 1922, the conveyor structure was still built in half-timbered construction as a two-storey double strut. Since the full-wall construction was prevailing at the same time, it was the last of its kind and is today one of the few still existing. At the same time, the southern machine house was built by the colliery builder Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927). The special feature of the machine house is the twin steam conveyor from 1963, the last steam engine manufactured by the Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen. The northern machine house was built in 1937 as a cubic brick building by Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897-1950). In 1938, a twin steam conveyor from the Gutenhoffnungshütte was installed there.
Four cultural projects were launched at the Consol colliery after its closure and renovation. One is the art installation in Werner Thiel's northern machine house (1927-2003). The others are the Consol Theater, the Music Rehearsal Centre Consol 4 and the Southern Machine House with the Mining Collection of the IBC.
The IBC mining collection has the twin steam conveyor as a central exhibit. It has an output of 4,100 hp and a weight of 285 tons. The conveyor lifted payloads of about 12t at 18m/s (65km/h) from the shaft, which is over 1,000 metres deep. Every first Sunday of the month it is performed live.
I carried out a survey on this property today, and asked the couple living in it why they wanted to demolish it, it's full of charm and character ... the answer was, it's also full of rot, damp, mold, rats, mice, bees, bugs and alsorts of over things ... i replied, a nature reserve then ... they smiled ...
Steetley Magnesite, also known as Hartlepool Magnesia Works and Palliser Works, was located at Hartlepool Headland. The site was left partly demolished and the pier became a big attraction for local fishermen despite being incredibly unsafe and dangerous, a section was then removed to prevent anyone venturing out.

Cathedral of St. Alexander in Bergamo was built on the site where church of St. Vincent. In the Middle Ages, Bergamo had two cathedrals: St. Alexander and St. Vincent. In 1561, the Venetians demolished the church of St. Alexander, and they built defensive walls here. From August 1697, Bergamo has one cathedral dedicated to St. Alexander, and it became the church that was previously dedicated to St. Vincent. The dome was rebuilt in the years 1851-1853, and on its top stands the statue of St. Alexander. In 2004 the main altar was rebuilt.
On the left side of the nave is a chapel, called the Crucifix Chapel in which the so-called Rosate crucifix dating from 1810 and considered miraculous.

Katedra św. Aleksandra została zbudowana na miejscu, gdzie wcześniej wznosił się kościół św. Wincentego. W średniowieczu Bergamo miało dwie katedry: św. Aleksandra i św. Wincentego. Wenecjanie w 1561 zburzyli kościół św. Aleksandra, a w tym miejscu wznieśli mury obronne. Od sierpnia 1697 roku Bergamo ma jedną katedrę pod wezwaniem św. Aleksandra, a został nią kościół, który wcześniej był pod wezwaniem św. Wincentego. Przebudowy kopuły dokonano w latach 1851-1853, a na jej szczycie wznosi się statua św. Aleksandra. W 2004 dokonano przebudowy ołtarza głównego.
Po lewej stronie nawy jest kaplica, nazywana Kaplicą Krucyfiksu w której przechowywany jest tzw. Krucyfiks z Rosate pochodzący z 1810 i uważany za cudowny.
I was curious about the history of the Saint-Laurent bridge. To illustrate it, I took an explanatory panel installed in front of the bridge by the city of Mâcon. The image shows Mâcon in the 16th century. At the time, the city was surrounded by ramparts which are now boulevards. The Saint-Vincent cathedral, demolished at the beginning of the 19th century, was intact. Its 2 towers which remain today are at the front of the building, on the Saône side, and not at the back as I thought.
Obviously the Pont de Saint-Laurent is in a good place.
The bridge is mentioned for the first time in a work dated 1077. This was confirmed by excavations made during the restoration campaign of 1985 (CF www.mesqui.net/Articles_ponts/pdf/macon-sully. pdf): samples were taken from the supporting pillars of the bridge, and were dated with carbon 14: they were indeed from the 11th century.
Let us remember that the Saône river was in the Middle Ages a border between the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. The bridge has therefore played an important role between these two worlds.
In its history, it has undergone plenty transformations. For example, there was a building that has now disappeared at the end of the bridge on the Saint-Laurent side, the Porte de Bresse. It belonged to the Duke of Savoy.
In the 16th century, the bridge was lengthened by 6 arches on the Saint-Laurent side when the river bed was enlarged to protect Mâcon from flooding. Then, in the 18th century, the last arch on the Mâcon side was removed when the riverbed was filled in there to build the quays of the Saône river. The bridge was also widened in the 19th century, and again in the 20th century. At the Liberation in 1944, it narrowly escaped complete destruction. The Germans in their retreat blew up one of its arches, which was then rebuilt.
Since then, there have been regular maintenance campaigns, with more extensive restorations, notably in the early 1980s and in 2016-2018.

L'histoire du pont de Saint-Laurent
J'étais curieux de l'histoire du pont de Saint-Laurent. Pour l'illustrer, j'ai pris un panneau explicatif installé devant le pont par la ville de Mâcon. L'image montre Mâcon au 16ème siècle.
A l'époque, la ville était ceinte de remparts qui dont de nos jours des boulevards. La cathédrale Saint-Vincent, démolie au début du 19ème siècle, était intacte. Ses 2 tours qui subsistent de nos jours sont à l'avant de l'édifice, coté Saône, et non à l'arrière comme je le croyait. Evidemment le Pont de Saint-Laurent est en bonne place.
Le pont est cité pour la première fois dans un ouvrage daté de 1077. Ceci a été confirmé par des fouilles faites lors de la campagne de restauration de 1985 (CF www.mesqui.net/Articles_ponts/pdf/macon-sully.pdf) : des prélèvements ont été faits sur les piliers de soutènement du pont, et ont été datés au carbone 14 : ils étaient bien du 11ème siècle.
Souvenons nous que la Saône était au Moyen âge une frontière entre le royaume de France et le Saint-Empire Romain Germanique. Le pont a donc joué un rôle de passerelle importante entre ces 2 mondes.
Dans son histoire, il a subi pas mal de transformations. Il y avait par exemple un bâtiment aujourd'hui disparu à la fin du pont coté Saint-Laurent, la porte de Bresse. Il appartenait au Duc de Savoie.
Au 16ème siècle, le pont a été rallongé de 6 arches cotés Saint-Laurent lorsqu'on a agrandi le lit de la rivière pour protéger Mâcon des inondations. Puis, au 18ème siècle, on a supprimé la dernière arche coté Mâcon quand on a comblé le lit de la rivière à cet endroit pour bâtir les quais de la Saône. Le pont a été aussi élargi au 19ème siècle, puis au 20ème siècle. A la Libération en 1944, il a échappé de peu à une destruction complète. Les Allemands dans leur retraite ont fait sauter une de ses arches, reconstruite ensuite.
Depuis, il y a eu des campagnes d'entretien régulières, avec des restaurations plus importantes, notamment au début des années 1980 et en 2016-2018.

Mâcon - Bourgogne du Sud / Mâcon - South-Burgundy - France
This square is so beautiful, it's no wonder it was named "royal" (reial Catalan for royal). The elegant ambiance of the Plaça Reial is accentuated by the fountain, streetlamps and palm trees, and it is one of Barcelona's busiest, most vibrant spots, particularly at night. This is Barcelona's best-loved porticoed square.
In about 1835, many of Barcelona's religious buildings disappeared as a result of the confiscation of properties. This was the case with the former Capuchin convent which was demolished leaving a huge vacant plot behind. The current Plaça Reial was built a few years later. The architect was Francesc Molina, and he designed a luxurious square with the aim of extolling the monarchy. King Ferdinand VII, who was king at the time, was to be immortalised as a statue depicting him on horseback in the centre of the square. The monument never came to fruition and, in its place, stands the fountain of the Three Graces. The two streetlamps on both sides of the central fountain were designed by the young Antoni Gaudí. Surmounted by a winged helmet and a dragon, they were put in place in 1879. Around them, the royal palm trees grace the square lending it an exotic touch. There are uniform, noble buildings on every side with porticoes and terracotta decorations. They were the home of important Barcelona families, although this luxurious appearance has been somewhat toned down by a more bohemian atmosphere.
Today, the square is a busy nightlife hub, and the porticoes conceal restaurants, bars and some of Barcelona's most popular nightspots.

The motorway crossing Regensburg will be widened from 4 to 6 lanes during the next years. This is why several bridges have to be demolished. For that, the Autobahn gets blocked from Saturday night to Sunday noon. This image was made early on Sunday morning. Eight dredges have already destroyed the bridge.
I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
The medieval village of Kedleston in Derbyshire was demolished in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the hall which was designed by Robert Adam who was commissioned to "take in hand the deer park and pleasure grounds". The former gardens were swept away in favour of a more natural-looking landscape and the old canals and geometric ponds were metamorphosed into serpentine lakes as they appear today.
By the 1970s Kedleston Hall had become too expensive for the Curzon family to maintain and the house, park and gardens to the nation in lieu of death duties. An arrangement was agreed with that the National Trust should take over Kedleston, along with an endowment, while still allowing the family to live rent-free in the 23-room Family Wing, which contained an adjoining garden and two rent-free flats for servants or other family members. Richard Curzon and his family currently reside there.
Wild guess here - i think the two rusty circular objects below the cross piece where the radiator would be are horns. Any ideas? Is this a Mercury?
Baylor University in Waco, Texas is demolishing this great stadium. That is a shame. A lot of benches being destroyed here. Happy Bench Monday.
For five years, since the old de Young museum was shut down and demolished, Saul has lived humbly in a secret warehouse in South San Francisco.
The marble man, carved by William Story in 1882 and a beloved icon of the old museum, is worth about $1 million. With all that going for the king, the curators still found it necessary to tie a white tag to the royal finger with "Saul, the Israelite King" printed on it
The M.H. de Young Memorial Museum by Herzog & de Meuron is a remarkable revival of a building that no longer exists. The original museum, which opened in 1895, was an outgrowth of a fair modeled on the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition the previous year known as the California Midwinter Internation Exposition of 1894. Located in the sunny San Francisco, California, the museum was formerly named for one of the city’s newspapermen M.H. de Young. The old museum was a bulky structure decorated with concrete ornaments, which began falling off the building and became hazardous, leading to their removal in 1949. The building was completely destroyed, however, in 1989 by the Loma Prieta earthquake.
Vielleicht erinnert ihr euch an den Wintergarten, dieses Hauses, den ich mal hier hochgeladen hatte.
Das Haus ist abgerissen.
Meine Urlaubspläne sind auch zertrümmert.
Vielleicht sollte ich doch zum Mond fiegen?
Maybe you remember the conservatory of this house that I uploaded here.
The house has been demolished.
My vacation plans are smashed too.
Perhaps I should fly to the moon nevertheless?
According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.
The era of the Pernštejn family
In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,
Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.
Renaissance reconstruction
At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.
The destruction of the castle
In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.
Present day
The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season
