The “of Hawkley” appellation applied to Gilbert de Ince and successive owners of the estate after 1374 may indicate the existence of a residence from that date. The earliest documented reference to Hawkley Hall is from 1561, when John Kechyn and his daughter, Isabell, brought an action against Thomas Molyneux over “a Capital Messuage called Hawkley Hall, and divers specified Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments” ('Calendar To … The Pleadings of The First Thirteen Years of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth', in “Ducatus Lancastriae”, Record Commission,1827).
The land surrounding the Hall was mainly agricultural until the 1970s, but there has also been deep and opencast mining in the area.
Development since the 1970s has left a wooded area of about 4 hectares which includes the sites of Hawkley Hall itself and some of its outbuildings. Bransfield Close cuts across the south east corner of this “archaeological oasis” and then turns north to form its western boundary. In this view -looking north-west from where a footpath connects Bransfield Close with Kingston Close- the remains of the Hall are behind the trees straight ahead whilst those of some associated agricultural buildings are hidden by the trees on the left.
Bransfield Close roughly follows the course of a moat which surrounded the Hall until the 19th century. Investigation by the Greater Manchester Archaeological Unit in 1993 confirmed documentary evidence that the moat was mostly filled in around 1800. Prior to this it had enclosed a platform of about 1900 square metres which had been artificially raised by spoil from when the moat was first excavated. It is estimated that the moat was 6-8 metres wide and perhaps 2 metres deep. There were two crossing points, one to the south-east and another to the south-west of the Hall. Confirmation that Hawkley was a moated site adds some weight to the theory that it was occupied from the late 13th or 14th century.
Well, I haven't uploaded in a few weeks since I've been very busy lately, however, I figured I would start my first new upload of 2025 off with a bang.
Southern California doesn't see very many new Albertsons Cos. store openings (although I am holding on hope we'll see more in the next few years), and the last new Albertsons Cos. store opening was the new Sherman Oaks Pavilions back in 2021, a replacement for a previous small Pavilions. Today, I decided since this doesn't happen very often, I would make the drive to see the first new Vons in nearly a decade on its grand opening day. The land site of this new store sits on a former Kmart, which it's no longer existent building was demolished and it's foundation ripped out of the ground in order to make way for construction of a brand sparkling new Vons. This new Vons replaces a smaller older Vons in the same shopping center, which I have posted before.
According to liquor licenses, it appears this Vons now has a new store number, 3431, replacing the store number 1672 of the previous store.
This Vons was very busy for its grand opening. It is very interesting to see a Vons opened with an Albertsons layout. It looks completely different from any Vons in existence since it is the only one so far that has opened under their ownership. The open ceilings makes this Vons feel much larger and open than most stores. It also has a walk in beer cooler which is an Albertsons feature. I have never seen in a Vons before.
This store does not have a pharmacy, and I think Albertsons likely didn't add a pharmacy because the CVS in the center has pharmaceutical rights for the whole center. An expanded beer/wine/liquor department takes the space where a pharmacy and health department would normally be located in today's Albertsons new-builds, with the walk in beer cooler likely being the space where a pharmacy would be. I speculate potentially the store being designed so a pharmacy could be added in the future with a walk in beer cooler taking that space for now.
I believe in early designs of this store there were meant to be two entrances, one main entrance, and one entrance where the pharmacy would be, or in this stores case, the liquor department. However, designs changed at some point so now that entrance is a drive up order entrance.
I imagine the Vons Express being constructed with this store will open in the coming months. It is still under construction, but looks like it could wrap up very soon.
Overall beautiful store. I hope there are more to come in the future.
What existence is mine, though, if I purely peer at the possibilities, and forsake my fervor, my fighting chance for crowned dreams?

A previous existence as a military parachutist helped Patrick Baty on this project. The 185ft bridge had to be scaled at night, when the trains had stopped running, in order for paint samples to be taken.
See the BBC clip here.
He was able to establish that this famous bridge by Isambard Kingdom Brunel had originally been painted with a white “anti-corrosive” paint containing ground glass. The bridge had been painted twenty times and with a combination of physical and documentary analysis Patrick was able to work out how it looked since it was built in 1859.

Mosman Bay is a bay of Sydney Harbour adjacent to the suburb of Mosman, 4 km north-east of the Sydney CBD in New South Wales, Australia. Three ferry wharves, Mosman Bay, South Mosman and Old Cremorne, are within the bay, all being served by the F6 Mosman Bay ferry service.
History:
Originally known as Great Sirius Cove, this name lives on in the next bay to the east, Sirius Cove (originally Little Sirius Cove).
The bay was originally so named after Governor Arthur Phillip's flagship and only defence of the colony, HMS Sirius, which was refitted in the Bay in 1789, the second year of the colony's existence.
In 1831, the bay's current namesake, Archibald Mosman, obtained a land grant for the area surrounding the bay. Together with his twin brother George, Mosman founded a whaling station within Mosman Bay. Substantial buildings and stone quaywork were erected. The quaywork remains (incorporated into later seawalls) as does the Old Barn, a sandstone building now used as a Scout hall.
Charles Rosman's boatshed was located in the bay adjacent Mosman Wharf. Rosman hire boats, moorings and slipping services. He also ran several small ferries. Rosman Ferries are now run out of Berry's Bay. Other waterside establishments include the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club, 3rd Mosman Bay Sea Scouts, and the Mosman Rowers.
Around 1880, resident Captain Blix built a timber pile footbridge across the Bat in the vicinity of "the Barn". This was a more substantial replacement for a number of basic crossings created to avoid the long walk around the mud flats in the upper reaches of the Bay. This structure was demolished around 1900 to facilitate the reclamation of the mud flats and the creation of Reid Park. A 1901-built structure had a moveable central span to allow dredges to pass. The deteriorating bridge was closed in 1967.
A sewage aqueduct over Reid Park at the head of Mosman Bay was in 1904 as part of the Neutral Bay and Mosman branch sewerage scheme. The arched steel structure also supports a pedestrian way linking Avenue Road and Bay Street Mosman.
Mosman is a suburb on the Lower North Shore region of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Mosman is located 8 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre for the local government area of the Municipality of Mosman.
Localities:
In February 1997, a notice was published in the Government Gazette by Mosman Council advising that they had assigned Mosman as the only suburb in the Mosman Local Government Area. However, Mosman Council decided that residents should continue to be allowed to use the following traditional locality names if they wished:
•Balmoral
•Beauty Point
•Clifton Gardens
•Georges Heights
•Spit Junction
•The Spit
History:
Mosman is named after Archibald Mosman (1799–1863) and his twin brother George, who moved onto a 4-acre (16,000 m2) land grant in the area in 1831. They were involved in shipping, and founded a whaling station on a bay in the harbour, which became known as Mosman's Bay. George subsequently became involved in grazing, but Archibald continued with whaling activities. By 1838, he owned 108 acres (0.44 km2) along the Mosman waterfront. Archibald was buried in the cemetery of St Jude's Church, Randwick. His grave is maintained by Mosman Council.
Aboriginal culture:
Mosman was originally inhabited by the Borogegal tribe. Bungaree (c. 1775–1830) was a well known Aboriginal who joined British explorers on voyages, including circumnavigating Australia with Matthew Flinders when he was 26. He later became leader of his tribe, was given land at Georges Head, and enjoyed the patronage of Governor Lachlan Macquarie. He greeted newcomers whose ships entered Port Jackson, and became acquainted with Russian and French explorers. His image was painted many times and shown in London, Paris, and Moscow.
European settlement
In 1789 HMS Sirius—the flagship of the First Fleet—entered what is now known as Mosman Bay or Great Sirius Cove. Mosman has been the site of important maritime and defence installations for Sydney since 1801, especially when Sydney's Harbour defences were expanded with the construction of Middle Head Fort, Georges Head Battery and Bradleys Head Fortification Complex. In 1871 the Beehive Casemate was constructed into the cliff side on Obelisk Bay.
A Submarine Miners' Depot was constructed at Chowder Bay (Georges Head) in the 1880s. In 1888 the site was modified for the latest in harbour defences. The site was a strategic position and considered the best place to observe and fire mines which were laid underwater. Minefields were laid across the main shipping channels of Port Jackson from 1876 to 1922 and a base was built at Chowder Bay for the submarine miners (Clifton Gardens). From Georges Head, miners watched for ships entering the harbour. Their job was to explode the mine closest to an approaching enemy ship. Each underwater mine was attached to an electric cable that ran up the cliff to the firing post. During a demonstration in 1891, a crowd of several thousand people watched as a fatal accident killed four miners and injured another eight.
In the 1880s and 1890s, as a result of the enthusiasm for painting en plein air fostered by the Barbizon and Impressionist movements in France, art colonies known as the Sydney artists' camps flourished around the Harbour, mainly in the Mosman area. As a result, Mosman became known as "Australia's most painted suburb". Notable painters in this community included Julian Ashton, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and John Mather. One such camp was known as Curlew Camp and was situated in Little Sirius Cove. An inscription on a rock can still be seen on the east side of the cove: Curlew 1890.
In 1942 during the Second World War the Sydney Harbour anti-submarine boom net was constructed on Georges Head and was designed to prevent enemy submarines from entering into Sydney Harbour. The boom net spanned the entire width of Port Jackson and a boom net winch house was located on Liangs Point, Watsons Bay. On the night of 31 May 1942, three Japanese midget submarines attempted to enter Sydney Harbour in what became known as the attack on Sydney Harbour. One of the Japanese midget submarines became entangled in the boom net and after unsuccessful attempts by the crew to free the submarine they detonated charges within the sub, killing themselves and destroying their sub in the process.
Chowder Bay was used in the late 1820s as an anchorage for visiting American whaling ships. In 1831 Archibald Mosman and John Bell were allotted grants of land in Mosman Bay to establish a whaling station. The only remaining building of the original whaling station is The Barn in Avenue Road. The Barn was a store and sail drying house. It is now the home of the 1st Mosman 1908 Scout Group.
A foot track ran from North Sydney to Middle Head in the 1840s. Avenue Road which ran from Mosman Bay to Mosman Junction was constructed in 1860 with Military Road, Middle Head Road, and Bradleys Head Road all constructed ten years later. From the 1870s, land development spread settlement east from Milson's Point, including to the Mosman area, which was boosted with a regular ferry service around the same time. Richard Harnett Senior purchased Archibald Mosman's original 108 acres (0.44 km2) in 1859 and in 1878 established a sandstone quarry at Mosman Bay. In 1871, he built a wharf and subsidised a ferry service between Mosman Bay, Neutral Bay, and Circular Quay. He promoted a land development known as the Mosman Bay Estate; when the land was sold, the ferry service was cancelled, much to the annoyance of the new landowners. His son, Richard Harnett Junior, was the first Mayor elected when Mosman became a municipality in 1893 with 1,600 residents, breaking away from the North Sydney municipality. Both men were major influences in Mosman and were responsible for building many roads, a horse-drawn bus service and ferry services linking Mosman to the city. Mosman Public School opened in 1880.

"A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms—it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man."

La Rábida Monastery (in full, Monasterio de Santa María de la Rábida) is a Franciscan monastery in the southern spanish town of Palos de la Frontera, in the province of Huelva and the autonomous region of Andalusia.
The monastery is located 13 km (8 mi) south of the city of Huelva, where the Tinto and Odiel rivers meet.
The Monastery of La Rábida has been Franciscan property since the thirteenth century. It was founded as a monastery in 1261; the evidence is a papal bull issued by Pope Benedict XIII in that year, allowing Friar Juan Rodríguez and his companions to establish a monastic community on the coast of Andalusia. The first Christian building on the site was constructed over a small pre-existing Almohad building that lends its name (rábida or rápita, meaning "watchtower" in Arabic) to the present monastery.
The Franciscans have held great influence in the region ever since.
The buildings standing on the site today were erected in stages in the late fourteenth century and the early fifteenth century. The monastery, and the church associated with it, display elements of Gothic and Moorish revival architecture; their walls are decorated with frescos by the twentieth-century Spanish artist, Daniel Vázquez Diaz (1882-1969).
There is also a cloister and a museum, where numerous relics of the discovery of America are displayed.
The buildings on the site have nearly 20,000 sq ft (1,858 m2) of floor space and an irregular floor plan. Throughout its five hundred years of existence, the monastery has been refurbished and repaired countless times, but the most extensive modifications were undertaken as a result of damage from the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
Christopher Columbus stayed at the monastery two years before his famous first voyage, after learning that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella had rejected his request for outfitting an expedition in search of the Indies. With the intervention of the prior of La Rábida and the confessor to Isabella, Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, he was able to have his proposal heard.
The monastery was declared a Spanish National Monument in 1856.
