Site of a public house erected in 1849 and used as a stop over for mountaineers on their trips to and from the valley for supplies. This route was used due to the sandy soil making travel possible in the winter time.
This Gothic-Style historic church structure on John Street in Cincinnati's West End was originally constructed as the Congregation of Brotherly Love church in 1865-66.
Sometimes in the 20th Century, due to demographic changes in demographics of the West End, it became home to Revelation Baptist Church, which added a modernist addition to the front and side of the historic structure, covering up the original doorway. The church lies outside of the protections of an historic district, and thus it, along with surviving historic structures in the neighborhood nearby, are threatened with possible demolition. However, the good news is that the aesthetically significant buildings in this small surviving fragment of the old West End appear to be well-maintained and in good condition, making this area an ideal spillover location for the revitalization that is currently making its way through Over-the-Rhine.

The Adelaide Children’s Hospital was founded in 1876 by a group of charitable upper-class women under the guidance of Dr Alan Campbell, who had been a member of Adelaide’s Board of Health since its inception in 1873.
The first hospital building was designed by William McMinn, who probably received the commission through Sir Samuel Way, the first president of the hospital, for whom McMinn had altered Montefiore in 1872-73. The original plans were for a building of three storeys, but the funds were limited, and so the building committee asked that the basement be raised one foot and the top storey omitted.
The hospital, built facing Sir Edwin Smith Avenue in lower North Adelaide by W. C. Torode, was ready for occupation in 1879. The building had a Jacobean tower and a cast-iron verandah linking the two wing together and a slate roof surmounted by a spire and weather vane. Inside, the offices and dining hall were on the ground floor and the wards on the first. It stood until 1967.
Morning light from the east shines on the exposed surface of one section of the former inner moat of Fuchu castle, administrative center from 1600 to 1867 and now slated for demolition to make way for a new city hall on top of this ground.
Exploring the ruins of Derwent village and Derwent Hall which are normally deep under Ladybower Reservoir. The village (including church, post office and cottages) and Hall were demolished in the early 1940s so that the valley could be flooded for the Reservoir (opened 1945). 2018 saw an exceptional drought and the village ruins became visible once again and it was possible to explore Derwent Hall for the first time since 1996 (and previous to that only in 1959, 1976, 1989). These photos were taken in early November when Ladybower was at its lowest, after that the water-level started to rise and Derwent village was hidden once more…. Saturday 10th November 2018.
Derwent Hall was originally built of local Derbyshire stone in 1672 for Henry Balguy. Rebuilt in 1692, it was an impressive 2-storey, gabled house built on an H-shaped plan. The house became a farmhouse from 1767 until around 1817 when it was bought by John Read before passing (by inheritance) to the powerful Newdigates of Kirk Hallam and then to the Dukes of Norfolk. It became a youth hostel, opened by the Prince of Wales, in 1931. It was compulsorily purchased in 1939 and then used as a school from September 1940 until August 1941. Finally, it was demolished in 1944 by Charles Boot before completion of the Ladybower reservoir in 1945. The site is usually submerged but in periods of drought the streets of the nearby 'lost' village of Derwent and the outlines of the houses sometimes appear again. Only during times of severe drought do the ruins of Derwent Hall become visible again, namely in 1959, 1976, 1989 and 1996. And now again in 2018!
In 1989 the lintel stone from above the main door, dated 1692, was discovered among the rubble of Dewent Hall and is now located in the garden of the nearby Derwent Village Hall (which survived the building of the reservoir.)

A little bit of Windsor history destroyed in the name of commercialism.
A selection of buildings near the old State Theatre and Revelation Baptist Church. These buildings, located on Central Avenue, Bauer Avenue, and Wade Street, are a small fragment that remains of the old West End that was cleared wholesale by urban renewal in the 1960s. Today, these buildings house predominately low-income families and individuals, and are located in close proximity to the revitalized portion of Over-the-Rhine. The generally good condition of these buildings does make them worthy of preservation, while the amount of vacant lots, suburban-style throwaway (largely industrial) buildings, and parking lots in the immediate surroundings are ripe for redevelopment that can capitalize on its proximity to Music Hall and OTR. Hopefully these buildings get the attention they deserve and are preserved, as no protection is currently extended to them.
Bits of iron infrastructure remain in the Silwan Valley peace tent where a home once stood.

They've moved on from a brick building, to a stone one! Wellington Mill is to be demolished - er too late Tesco it already was! This may once have been part, but I wouldn't call it the Mill! I now think that Tesco are just taking the micky out of the fact that this is a 'conservation' area! Oh, they intend to landscape it! In what way? If plants, then it'll become a litter trap, que a long running dispute with Tesco over vermin and the like!
