This is the Guild Hall in Derby, taken in the evening.It is also known locally as the 'market place' and was built in 1828.
I hope to return soon and get a few more shots in different light and from different angles. This particular image is actually 3 shots taken in 'landscape orientation', starting from the ground and finishing with the sky, then magically sewn together in Lr and corrected for converging lines in Ps. The film simulation is Acros with a red filter.

Window at Orphan Guitars. Gowanus, Brooklyn. This one's a semi-solid electric, I think. My own is a dreadnought.
Market Day stalls and end of trading for the day. This is my home town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre (traffic free zone) hosts a market on six days a week and operates from 9am to 4pm each day selling a wide range of goods. From 1871 there was a cattle market too, housed in the Smithfield
Cattle Market. But sadly that moved out of town to the outskirts of the town of Market Drayton some years ago, more space required.

Market and Guild Hall info from BBC - Domesday Reloaded.
The first market place was in Upper
Green now the A34 Road. This moved to
the High Street about 1280. The whole of
the present High Street would have been
a Large Market place. In 1203 the
original Sunday Market was moved to
Saturday, then to Monday in 1590. In the
early 19th century, Saturday became a 2nd
market day and later Friday a 3rd. In
1853 the first covered market was built
to supplement the portable street
market and to offer a halfway house
between shop and stall. This was
replaced in 1963 by a more up-to-date
covered market.
Guildhall
Newcastle Guildhall was built by an
employers association in about 1235. It
was then that Henry III recognised that
Newcastle was more than an ordinary
market town and so granted the Townsman
the right to form a Guild Merchant. They
quickly became the most powerful
force, both economically and
politically, in Newcastle. Later on when
a town council emerged to administer
the town the Guild became less
important, but in a continuing memorial
the Town Councils meeting place has
continued to be called a Guildhall
rather than a Town Hall. The Guildhall
today, which is a little to the south
of the original site, is used for many
functions. Various organisations hire it
for many things from Jumble Sales to
plays. Whatever its many uses today it
is still a beautiful building which
dominates the Newcastle Market Square.
The Xiqin Guild Hall in Zigong, Sichuan, China, was built by wealthy Shanxi salt merchants in 1736. Today it is the Salt Industry History Museum.
Hello! Another build for the Kaliphlin Civil War (no surprise there, I suppose) in Guilds of Historica on Eurobricks. This is specifically a counter build against another on GoH, Adair. Don't mind the stray inverted dark brown arch in the water, that's there for story purposes! Also, I had some trouble photographing this like I wanted, and those are indeed light bley rocks (to me they almost look white).
The story and more pictures can be found here: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107498
Anyways, thanks for looking, feedback always appreciated!

My contribution to the Collectible Minifigure Challenge for the Guilds of Historica over on Eurobricks!
"Legends and Horror Stories of Historica"
There are all manner of scary stories told throughout the ages in Historica. Some are surely simply tales created for entertainment around a fire on a fall evening. Some may be fairy tales sometimes used by parents to try to keep their children close to home during dangerous times. Some may result from the, er, "impaired" sensory experiences of wandering travelers. But, some, some are true.....
Historica is an ancient land with magics and mysteries stretching many generations.
Who can tell the fact from the fiction?
You?
I doubt it.
There's still time to join in on the fun! Here's the link to the Challenge thread over on Eurobricks:

In this photograph of a side chapel along the nave of Barcelona Cathedral (Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia), the color has been leached from all but the radiant gold of the retablo, which gleams through the black wrought iron gates beneath the vault of ancient stones. These chapels, often overlooked by casual visitors, are remnants of centuries of devotion, wealth, and ecclesiastical politics. Originally endowed by noble families, guilds, or confradías (lay brotherhoods), each chapel was a private or semi-private devotional space, centered on a saint or religious mystery chosen by the founder.
Some chapels, especially those tied to active confraternities, are still used for specific feast days, Masses, or private devotions. However, to the ordinary visitor they often seem perpetually closed, their use hidden behind iron gates. Flowers appear fresh, candles are lit, and the marble is dusted, thanks to cathedral staff who maintain them—but the origins of these chapels may still be found, especially if a confraternity remains active. Evidence of this may come from small plaques, iconography related to guild symbols, or listings in cathedral brochures. On occasion, a chapel may be opened during Holy Week, on the feast day of the patron saint, or for a special Mass organized by a still-functioning confraternity.
In the decades after their founding—particularly for chapels dating to the 17th century—these spaces were animated by the rhythms of Catholic baroque devotion: daily prayers, commemorative Masses, and processions. Many had endowments, legally binding funds to support liturgical services and physical upkeep. But as family lines died out or funds were mismanaged, some chapels fell into disuse until the cathedral chapter assumed control.
In ecclesiastical circles, chapels that have remained active or preserved under their original terms of use are sometimes accorded special recognition—a token of unbroken continuity. Others have been repurposed or recontextualized for general cathedral use. Donations left in boxes or slots typically go to the cathedral itself, unless a confraternity is explicitly credited. What remains for all to see is a fusion of sacred space and civic history, often locked behind iron gates, waiting for their stories to be unlocked by the observant traveler.
