Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
The station's demise was caused by its output falling with age, coupled with increased operating costs, such as flue gas cleaning."Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" shut three years later. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space, shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.
Works were completed and nearly forty years after the lights were switched off, Battersea Power Station opened its doors to the public on Friday 14 October 2022, marking the first time the public were able to explore the iconic building and the first tranche of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues. As well as 254 apartments inside the power station itself, the 42-acre site also contains apartment buildings designed by US architect Frank Gehry and by Foster + Partners. The first residents moved in to the power station in May 2021.
The next few weeks are going to be uber-busy with trips for open days at the Universities my youngest, Phoebe, wants to go to. At last she has made her choice of the course she will be studying, Veterinary Medicine or Vet-Med. She will be completing the M.S.A.A exam to allow aplication to Cambridge but our first visit was to Glasgow University, a great day. In a couple of weeks time a trip to York, Bristol and Cambridge, then during the summer break The Royal London School of Veterniary Medicine, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Nottigham. Competition is tough but I strongly believe with Phoebes academic attainments and experiences with animal management she will be well placed to move forward as a Vet, can't wait as I will be accompanying her with all her visits. But we have already learnt a lesson, don't try and do a University visit in one day, up at 01.30am in the morning to fly up to Glasgow and returned at 02.00am this morning from Gatwick.......goodnight!

Built in 1838, a pebbledashed house with ashlar dressings, chamfered quoins, a moulded cornice gutter, and a slate roof. There are two storeys, an attic, a basement, and a symmetrical front of three bays. The central doorway is approached by steps, and has Tuscan pilasters, a semicircular fanlight, and an open pediment. The central bay is gabled and contains a lunette. The other windows are sashes with architraves, and in the right return is a Venetian window. The forecourt is enclosed by a low stone wall and railings with fleur-de-lis finials.
So heres the full list, showing every fig, ranging from the comics to the shows.
My favourites:
5) Norman Osborn: While we've gotten SEVERAL goblins during lego's history, we never gotten norman once, other then that weird spider lab set that was built with spare parts, and looked NOTHING like norman. His new hair peice really does add to his charecter alot, and i feel like lego can pull it off
4) Mysterio: While lego has already done this for their FFH sets, it's a disapointing fig thats based of closely rejected concept art, and the choice of a gunmetal head instead of a glow in the dark was RIDICULOUS! Plus i am waiting to see someone use that wyldestyle scarf peice for a custom mysterio
3) Rhino/Electro: Both's printings range from just torso to their legs. No special arm prints. i'm tired of getting both rhino and electro figs based of the movies. Either give us a big fig rhino, or a minifig electro, or don't give us them at all
2) J.J Jameson: The suprior spiderman villian, by all accounts, a perfect representation of ANY adaptation of the charecter. A bit of J.K Simmons, a bit of the comics, a sprinkle of that dude from the old spice comercial.
1) Man-Spider: The most underated spiderman villian, and while lego has done 4 arms, i am counting on them to do 6, and like i said in that post, it can also lead to a 6 arm spiderman.
Here's also a list of Figs lego can do, without the new molds
Morbius - TombStone - Shocker - Sandman - Hydro Man
tell me what you've all thought on this series, i would love to hear your full feedback, knowing this is all finished

Echinacea
Echinacea is a genus, or group of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family. The genus Echinacea has nine species, which are commonly called coneflowers. They are found only in eastern and central North America, where they grow in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος, meaning "hedgehog", due to the spiny central disk. These flowering plants and their parts have different uses. Some species are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. Echinacea purpurea is used in folk medicine. Two of the species, E. tennesseensis and E. laevigata, are listed in the United States as endangered species.

The Grade II* Listed Ellis Windmill on Mill Road in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
At one time nine windmills stood along the west face of Mill Road over the steep slopes of the Lincoln Edge, these days only Ellis Windmill which was built in 1798 remains. There are documentary references to mills along the road from the early 16th century.
Tower mill of 3 floors with 4 sails, ogee domed wooden cap and fantail. Construction of brick painted black. Door on ground level. Horizontally sliding square windows with stone sills and segmental arches.
The first recorded owner of Ellis’ Mill was a wealthy landowner named Anthony Meres. It went through a succession of owners until December 1894 when John Ellis bought the mill for £250. He died in 1920, but his wife and son successively retained ownership until 1973. The mill was still in working order in 1940, but lost its sails in 1941, when Frank Ellis was the miller.
The Mill remained fully operational until it fell into receivership in 1973 and in 1974 a fire destroyed all of the remaining woodwork. In 1977 the Lincoln Civic Trust acquired the mill and began its reconstruction, led by Chris Salisbury, millwright.
A cap mechanism was acquired from ‘Subscription Mill’ in Sturton-by-Stow and the stones and drives from ‘Eno’s Mill’ at Toynton-all-Saints and the sails and fantail were made by Thompson and Co from Alford. The reconstruction was completed in 1980 and milling began again in 1981. Lincolnshire County Council took it over in 1995.
The brick foundations of an ancillary building in the north-east part of the site were recorded in 2006, along with a short length of brick wall and a stone wall or foundation immediately north of the mill. Ellis Mill remains a working mill producing flour and is open to the public on Saturday afternoons.

Circa 1939 - Hut 1 at Bletchley Park - Bletchley, Buckinghamshire on 13 September 2021.
Grade II listed.
The following is from the Historic England website.
Name: Hut 1 at Bletchley Park
Designation Type: Listing
Grade: II
List UID: 1391793
HISTORY: in 1939 Bletchley Park became a dispersal home to the Foreign Office's Code and Cipher School. It became the focal point of inter-service intelligence activities, the place where German codes (notably those encrypted using the Enigma machine) were deciphered, the significance of decrypts assessed, and intelligence passed to appropriate ministries and commands. As the organisation enlarged new buildings had to be provided, firstly wooden huts and, from 1942, more permanent brick blocks. It is likely that the first timber and plasterboard huts (Huts 1-5) at Bletchley Park were erected between August and December 1939, with Hut 1 (together with 2 and 3) going up between August and October.
Hut 1 may first have been used as a radio transmission station, which almost certainly explains its location within the line of the C18 avenue of lime trees, four of which were used as aerial masts. The hut became the home for the first bombe (the electro-magnetic device which tested possible solutions to settings used on the German Enigma encoding machines) delivered on site in March 1940, and therefore became, for 12 months, the first home of the Bombe Section. Subsequently it acted as an extension to the research units in Hut 6, which had been built directly to the north of Hut 1 and with which Bombe Section had been closely related. In July 1941 its role was described as being `a meeting place of all sections and tends to improve collaboration between different rooms. It is concerned with analysis of all traffic and with the general investigation of the wireless procedure of all groups' (English Heritage 2004, vol. 1, 206). Hut 1 was doubled in size in late 1942 when a separate brick annexe was built off its south end to house a fire pump trailer, lavatories, and store room. When Hut 6 moved to Block D in February 1943 Hut 1 was repartitioned for use as the main Transport Office.
BUILDING: wood and brick hut c.100m north-east of the Mansion.
DATE: 1939,1942
ARCHITECT: 1939 Hut by Captain Faulkner for Government Code and Cipher School.
MATERIALS: Hut 1 is of two distinct parts: the 1939 wooden north end, and the 1942 brick south end. The former measures 40 ft by 16 ft, is of shiplap wooden boards on a brick foundation, with a suspended wooden floor, and gabled felted roof. The southern annexe was built in brick, again with a gabled felted roof. It is about the same size as the original Hut 1
PLAN: rectangular.
EXTERIOR: single-storey. Painted wooden boards to north (1939) part of hut, painted brick to south (1942) part.
INTERIORS: the wooden part of Hut 1 is of four bays, each lit by a two-light wooden-framed window. Of the three internal plaster board walls one is of wartime date, the others (in the area of the bombe room) later. A door in the north gable wall gave access to Hut 6; others are placed in the centre of the south gable wall and in the east wall; a fourth, in the west wall, is not shown on a 1943 plan and may be a later insertion. Retains Bakelite light switches and door handles. The southern annexe has lavatories in its north-east corner, with what was probably an office in the north-west corner. A centrally placed room in the southern half of the building was probably for a fire pump trailer. Two small rectangular rooms flank this.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the wooden north part of Hut 1 is set behind a brick blast wall, now only a metre high. Directly east of the blast wall around Hut 1 is a rectangular boiler house with chimney, serving Huts 1 and 8. It probably represents a re-ordering of heating arrangements in November 1943.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: Hut 1's importance is principally historical. Along with Hut 2, it was probably the first of the humble, purpose-built, wartime structures at Bletchley Park, and early in 1940 became home to the crucial and rapidly expanding section which dealt, using the first bombe machines, with the decoding of Enigma settings, especially for Hut 6. Bletchley Park is renowned for its part in this breaking of the German Enigma code, and in contributing to the Allied victory (especially in the Battle of the Atlantic). Although architecturally undistinguished, the hut's modest size and rudimentary construction reflect the urgency with which staff and machinery had to be housed in the first months of the war. Its wooden part, which relates to this phase and thus is markedly the most significant part of the building, was recently sensitively restored. It is in good condition and retains wartime character and features. The whole of the hut as here described, including the boiler house, merits inclusion on the list because of its historic significance through its central role in the early part of `the Bletchley story'. This recommendation is informed by considerable English Heritage research, cited below.

The Grade I Listed ruins of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds, located in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, East Anglia, England
It was once among the richest Benedictine monasteries in England, until the Dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. The ruins are owned by English Heritage and managed by St Edmundsbury Borough Council.
The Abbey's charters granted extensive lands and rights in Suffolk. By 1327, the Abbey owned all West Suffolk. The monks charged tariffs on every economic activity, including the collecting of horse droppings in Bury St Edmund’s streets. The Abbey even ran the Royal Mint. During the 13th century general prosperity blunted the resistance of burghers and peasants.
Throughout 1327, the monastery suffered extensively, as several monks lost their lives in riots, and many buildings were destroyed. The townspeople attacked in January, forcing a charter of liberties on them. When the monks reneged on this they attacked again in February and May.
A reprieve came on September 29 when Queen Isabella arrived at the Abbey with an army from Hainault. She had returned from the continent with the intention of Deposing her husband, King Edward II. She stayed at the Abbey several days with her son the future Edward III.
On October 18, 1327, a group of monks entered the local parish church. They threw off their habits, they were armoured underneath, and took several hostages. The people called for the hostages' release, the monks fired on them, killing some. In response, the citizens swore to fight the abbey to the death.
In 1431 the west tower of the abbey church collapsed. Two years later Henry VI moved into residence at the abbey for Christmas and was still enjoying monastic hospitality four months later. More trouble arose in 1446 when the Duke of Gloucester died in suspicious circumstances after his arrest, and in 1465 the entire church was burnt out by an accidental fire. Largely rebuilt by 1506, the abbey of Bury St Edmunds settled into a quieter existence until dissolution in 1539.
