Ratusz w Poznaniu jest budynkiem renesansowym stojącym na poznańskim Starym Rynku. Po raz pierwszy pojawił się w dokumentach w 1313 roku jako Domus consulum. Był wielokrotnie przebudowywany oraz niszczony przez pożar i uderzenie pioruna.
Obecny wygląd pochodzi z końca XVIII wieku. Podczas walk o Poznań w 1945 r. ratusz poważnie ucierpiał a wieża zawaliła się. Renowację przeprowadzono w latach 1945-1954. Przywrócono wówczas renesansowy charakter elewacji.
La roseraie du parc Georges Brassens et les anciennes halles du marché aux chevaux. Le week-end, il s'y tient le Marché du livre ancien et d'occasion. Rue Brancion, Paris 15ème arrondissement.
LE MARCHE AUX CHEVAUX :
Au tournant du XXe siècle, près de 80 000 chevaux trottaient encore dans les rues de la capitale. Les équidés étaient essentiels au bon fonctionnement de la vie parisienne et les marchés aux chevaux des haltes habituelles pour de nombreux habitants. La présence d’un grand marché aux chevaux à Paris est attestée dès le XVe siècle. Il déménagera plusieurs fois jusqu'à sa dernière installation dans le 15ème arrondissement.
En 1907, pour des raisons pratiques (le 5e arrondissement n’a pas d’accès direct aux voies de chemin de fer) et parce que le vacarme et les odeurs commencent à déranger les voisins, le marché est déplacé s’établit, rue Brancion, aux côtés des abattoirs de Vaugirard Il y restera jusqu’à sa fermeture en 1976.
Au début des années 1980, les anciens hangars et halles qui accueillaient les animaux sont presque intégralement détruits, laissant place au Parc Georges Brassens. Il en reste néanmoins quelques traces dont les halles métalliques dans lesquelles se tient le Marché du livre ancien, deux hauts-reliefs représentant des têtes de chevaux (cf photo en commentaire). Une crèche a été construite dans la structure d’un ancien hangar à fourrage, rue des Morillons.

The ruins of Crackpot Hall lie about a mile east of Keld on the northern slope of the dale. There may have been a building on this site since the 16th century when a hunting lodge was maintained for Thomas, the first Baron Wharton, who visited the Dale occasionally to shoot the red deer. Survey work by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority has shown that the building has changed many times over the years. At one time it even had a heather or "ling" thatched roof.
The current ruin is of a farmhouse dating from the mid 18th century. It was an impressive two-storey building with a slate roof and matching "shippons" or cow sheds at each end for animals. The building may also have been used as mine offices, as intensive lead mining was carried out in the area, and there were violent disputes over mine boundaries in the 18th century.
In the 1930s Ella Pontefract and Marie Hartley wrote of a wild 4-year-old child living here by the name of Alice.
The current building was abandoned in the 1950s because of subsidence. Crackpot Hall has been saved from further decay by Gunnerside Estate with the aid of grants from the Millennium Commission and European Union through the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
The name Crackpot is said to be Viking for "a deep hole or chasm that is a haunt of crows".
Construction of Middle Temple Hall began in 1562 and was completed in 1572. Its hammerbeam roof has been said to be the best in London. Queen Elizabeth I visited the hall in 1578, unannounced, to inspect the new building and listen to a debate between barristers. This is the earliest known visit of a reigning monarch to an Inn of Court. On the walls are panels bearing the coats of arms of Readers (senior members) dating back to 1597.
The first recorded performance of Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night occurred in the hall on 2 February 1602.Shakespeare himself was probably present.
The hall survived the Great Fire of London in 1666, but was damaged by bombing in the Second World War. (Wikipedia) Inns of Court, London, United Kingdom.
