In medieval times, long before the naval base at Devonport was established, the English fleet would be moored in Cawsand Bay, which is part of Plymouth Sound. In 1596 the Spanish mounted a raid on Cawsand but were beaten off by the local militia, and a small fort was constructed on the knoll where the congregational church now stands.
The requirement for further defences in and around Cawsand Bay became clear in 1779 when the English fleet was absent and a 66-strong Franco-Spanish fleet anchored here intending to land 30,000 soldiers ashore. The invaders had planned to seize the high ground and bombard Plymouth. It would have served as a foothold on English soil. But as with the earlier Armada, the plans were disrupted by stormy weather.
A battery was then constructed above Cawsand and when a renewed threat from the French was perceived in the 1860s a series of large new forts were built to protect Plymouth (and Portsmouth) from attack by sea. It included the one above Cawsand (pictured) which was built on the site of the 18th century battery. These forts were to become known as Palmerston's Follies.
It was constructed with nine guns facing to seaward, covering Cawsand Bay itself, and a further 14 guns to protect the fort from a landward attack. But improved longer range weaponry on other forts in Plymouth Sound meant the coastal defence role of Cawsand had ceased by 1903. The fort remained garrisoned throughout WWI however and was released by the military in 1926. It is said that the guns were only fired once, causing houses in Cawsand village to fall down. After many years lying derelict it was converted into residences. It is now a Grade II-listed building.

Hello everybody :)
Today I want to show you my latest creation starring the typewriter from the movie "Schindler´s List". The typewriter was a big challenge, because I never made something like that before. Moreover I also tried to include some other details like the stapler (which I found on some reference pictures), the candle (made out of 2x2 Jumper), a letter (the seal is made out of a red bucket) or the pencils.
If you you want to see more pictures of that MOC you can take a look on my Instagram account ( www.instagram.com/balbo._/ ), were I will upload some more pictures tomorrow.
I hope you like it :)

The Grade I Listed Peveril Castle which is run by English Heritage, in Castleton, in the Peak District, Derbsyshire.
Peveril Castle stands sentinel on a limestone outcrop over the west end of Hope Valley, in the midst of an ancient landscape. On the north side of the valley is Mam Tor, a Bronze Age hill fort, and 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east at Brough and Shatton is the Roman fort of Navio. The valley formed a natural line of communication and had extra importance due to valuable mineral resources in the area, particularly lead.
Peveril Castle was the caput of the Honour of Peverel, and was founded some time between the Norman Conquest of 1066 and its first recorded mention in the Domesday Survey of 1086, by William Peveril, who held lands in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as a tenant-in-chief of the king. Nearby Castleton benefited from the presence of the castle, which acted as the caput of the feudal barony of "Peak". The town became the economic centre of the barony. The castle provides views across the Hope Valley and Cave Dale.
William Peveril the Younger inherited his father's estates, which in 1155 were confiscated by King Henry II. While in royal possession, Henry visited the castle in 1157, 1158, and 1164, the first time hosting King Malcolm IV of Scotland. During the Revolt of 1173–1174, the castle's garrison was increased from a porter and two watchmen to a force led by 20 knights shared with the castles of Bolsover and Nottingham. The Earls of Derby had a claim to the Peveril family's estates through marriage, and in 1199 William de Ferrers, the fourth earl, paid 2,000 marks for the Peak lordship although the castle remained under royal control. The closest Peveril Castle came to seeing battle was in 1216 when King John gave the castle to William de Ferrers, but the castellan refused to relinquish control. Although they were both John's supporters, the king authorised the earl to use force to evict the castellan, who eventually capitulated, although there is no evidence that the castle was assaulted.
In 1223 the castle returned to the Crown. In the 13th century there were periods of building work at the castle, and by 1300 its final form had been established. Toward the end of the 14th century, the barony was granted to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Having little use for the castle, he ordered some of its material to be stripped out for re-use, marking the beginning of its decline. From the time of John of Gaunt to the present day, the castle has been owned and administered by the Duchy of Lancaster. Peveril Castle became less important administratively and by 1609 it was "very ruinous and serveth for no use". In the 19th century, Sir Walter Scott featured the castle in his novel Peveril of the Peak.
Lincoln Cathedral is a Grade I Listed Building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, meaning it is of outstanding architectural and historic interest and afforded a degree of protection under the law.
It's very impressive from any angle. You really do get blown away by its enormity and the skills of the craftsmen and women of the day.
Work to build The Cathedral Church of St Mary, better known as Lincoln Cathedral, began in 1072, meaning the oldest parts of the building are now more than 950 years old. It finally opened in 1092.
The Cathedral spire is 520 ft (crossing tower). The Nave is 78 ft. Architectural styles: Gothic architecture, English Gothic architecture.
Lincoln Cathedral has a busy schedule throughout year, thousands of visitors and ongoing preservation.

Looking towards the Grade I Listed Gatehouse of Stokesay Castle a fortified manor house in Stokesay, near Craven Arms in Shropshire, which is managed by English Heritage.
It was built in the late 13th century by Laurence of Ludlow, then the leading wool merchant in England, who intended it to form a secure private house and generate income as a commercial estate. Laurence's descendants continued to own the castle until the 16th century, when it passed through various private owners. By the time of the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1641, Stokesay was owned by William Craven, the first Earl of Craven and a supporter of King Charles I. After the Royalist war effort collapsed in 1645, Parliamentary forces besieged the castle in June and quickly forced its garrison to surrender. Parliament ordered the property to be slighted, but only minor damage was done to the walls, allowing Stokesay to continue to be used as a house by the Baldwyn family until the end of the 17th century.
In the 18th century the Baldwyns rented the castle out for a range of agricultural and manufacturing purposes. It fell into disrepair, and the antiquarian John Britton noted during his visit in 1813 that it had been "abandoned to neglect, and rapidly advancing to ruin". Restoration work was carried out in the 1830s and 1850s by William Craven, the second Earl of Craven. In 1869 the Craven estate, now heavily in debt, was sold to the wealthy industrialist John Derby Allcroft who paid for another round of extensive restoration during the 1870s. Both of these owners attempted to limit any alterations to the existing buildings during their conservation work, which was unusual for this period. The castle became a popular location for tourists and artists, and was formally opened to paying visitors in 1908.
Allcroft's descendants fell into financial difficulties during the early 20th century, however, and it became increasingly difficult for them to cover the costs of maintaining Stokesay. In 1986 Jewell Magnus-Allcroft finally agreed to place Stokesay Castle into the guardianship of English Heritage, and the castle was left to the organisation on her death in 1992. English Heritage carried out extensive restoration of the castle in the late 1980s. In the 21st century, Stokesay Castle continues to be operated as a tourist attraction, receiving 39,218 visitors in 2010.
Architecturally, Stokesay Castle is "one of the best-preserved medieval fortified manor houses in England", according to historian Henry Summerson. The castle comprises a walled, moated enclosure, with an entrance way through a 17th-century timber and plaster gatehouse. Inside, the courtyard faces a stone hall and solar block, protected by two stone towers. The hall features a 13th-century wooden-beamed ceiling, and 17th-century carved figures ornament the gatehouse and the solar. The castle was never intended to be a serious military fortification, but its style was intended to echo the much larger castles being built by Edward I in North Wales. Originally designed as a prestigious, secure, comfortable home, the castle has changed very little since the 13th century, and is a rare, surviving example of a near complete set of medieval buildings. English Heritage has minimised the amount of interpretative material displayed at the property and kept the castle largely unfurnished.
The Grade I Listed St Peters Church in Scotter a village in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
The doorway is the oldest part of the church with the arch being Norman and the plain tympanum above the lintel thought to be Saxon. The porch is later in date with a record of it being reroofed in 1668 and completely rebuilt in 1820. The church was altered significantly in the early 13th century when the five arches in the north wall were constructed. In the 15th century the walls were lifted and the clerestory windows added for additional light.
The brass plaque above the pulpit is to Marmaduke Tyrwhitt, fourth son of William Tyrhwitt. Marmaduke was born in 1533, the fourth son of William Tyrhwitt. He was an ecclesiastical commissioner, and probably also had legal connections. He presided over a Manorial court at Bottesford in 1591, married Ellen Reresby, son of Lionel Reresby, and they had 5 sons and 6 daughters He died in his sixty sixth year 1599. The font is 14th century. The embattled tower was added about 1400 and was heightened to 72 feet a century later. It houses what is an important example of a turret clock by James Harrison of Hull.

It is hard to tell if this is a finished Lister painting or he gave up half way through. It is missing the touches of bright red that most of his street art has. A picture of Sydney Opera House would not be really appropriate in earthquake ravaged Christchurch.
Lister is one of Australia's most renowned contemporary artists, His work presents us with a grimy fusion of high and lowbrow culture with influences from a number of areas and genres, including street art, expressionism, pop art, and contemporary youth culture, often drawing from television and the "misguided role models" that result. Reveling in the "spirituality", and the "heritage" of Western popular culture he takes this joint legacy and remoulds it into something equally alluring and grotesque, a perfect representation of the society he seeks to depict. Taking influence from the dirtier and rough techniques of âBadâ Painting and merging it with the spirit and practices of graffiti art Lister has embraced an explosive, scratchy, scrawling form of figurative art using a variety of mediums from painting, drawing and installation to film and music. - from Wikipedia

At the top of my 'bucket list' was to see a baby bird riding on it's mothers back so I booked a trip with "Eyes of the Wild" owned and operated by Faith Rigolosi who made it all happen and is also a flickr member...thank you Faith!
She gives Eyes of the Wild it's true meaning as she watched out, spotted and got the boat in position to give us our best shots while always keeping respect to her beloved grebes. This is a trip I will always remember as one of my best boating, birding experience's and can't wait to go back again!

The Lister Block, first built in 1886, was destroyed by fire in 1923 and the second building was erected in 1924. This classic Renaissance building is 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) with six floors and sits on the corner of James and King William Street. It is a pivotal building in the commercial history and environment of downtown Hamilton.
When it was erected, in 1923-24, to the designs of Bernard H. Prack, architect, it demonstrated the most advanced retail marketing ideas of the time, and reflected the transition from smaller 19th Century retail establishments to the emerging 20th Century phenomenon of integrated department stores.
Its ground floor and 2nd floor L-shaped arcades, accessible from both James and King William, were remarkable innovations for their time and contributed to its success. Its key corner location, large double street frontage, six-storey height, and robust architectural design helped give it a dominant character within the James Street North urban streetscape. It originally stood in the heart of Hamilton’s civic core, directly across from City Hall (1888) and Market Square, and just south of the Federal Building (1856- 1920).
A changing retail environment of malls with free parking and the demise of downtown anchor "Eatons" brought about a huge shift of consumer spending. After thriving as a business and retail space for years, tenants eventually began to vacate. The building was closed in 1991 . The building sat empty in 1995 and was seen as a symbol of downtown decay. LiUNA bought the Lister Block back in 1999, letting it sit vacant for over a decade. In the following years, there were three failed attempts to revive the building, and after decades of vacancy, neglect, and sprawling development. a demolition permit was submitted in 2005.
In 2010, LiUNA and Hi-Rise Group began to renovate the building at the cost of $25 million, with a $7 million contribution from the province. The renovation was completed in early 2011.

The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

I took this photograph on the exit of Lodge Corner during the Guards Trophy GTSR Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008. It's Phil Bennett in his 1958 Lister Knobbly which has the 3,781cc version of the Jaguar XK6 engine. Brian Lister started producing sports cars in 1954 first with an MG engine and later with a Bristol engine, but he had the most success with the 1957 car which used the Jaguar D-type engine. The first version of this car was known at the time as a Lister-Jaguar, but after the 1959 car was given a smoother aerodynamic body designed by Frank Costin (and designed to use the Chevrolet Corvette powerplant) the more bulbous earlier car became known as the Lister Knobbly.
The Grade I Listed Abbot's Kitchen that served as the kitchen for Glastonbury Abbey, in Glastonbury, Somerset.
The stone-built construction dates from the 14th century and is one of a very few surviving mediaeval kitchens in the world. Historically, the Abbot of Glastonbury lived well, as demonstrated by the abbot's kitchen, with four large fireplaces at its corners. The kitchen was part of the opulent abbot's house, begun under Abbot John de Breynton (1334–42). It is one of the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe and the only substantial monastic building surviving at Glastonbury Abbey. The abbot's kitchen has been the only building at Glastonbury Abbey to survive intact. Later it was used as a Quaker meeting house. The architect Augustus Pugin surveyed and recorded the building in the 1830s. The Abbot's Kitchen was again surveyed and conserved in 2013, reopening in 2014.
The abbot's kitchen has been described as "one of the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe". The building is supported by curved buttresses on each side leading up to a cornice with grotesque gargoyles. Inside are four large arched fireplaces with smoke outlets above them, with another outlet in the centre of the pyramidal roof. The kitchen was attached to the 80 feet (24 m) high abbot's hall, although only one small section of its wall remains.
