A late 18th Century house, later a shop, incorporating fragments of an earlier building. It is stuccoed on a stone plinth, and has quoins and an eaves cornice. There are 2+1⁄2 storeys and two bays, with one gabled bay on the return facing Scotch Street. The shop has doorways with stone surrounds under a coved head, shop windows with elliptical-arched heads and, in the upper floors, sash windows. During restoration a fragment of a timber-framed building was found, and this has been retained.
I thought I would see how I managed getting about on my own with my one hand.. I surprised myself. It was great walking around the city again. There was a lot to see because of the RISE festival.
December 22, 2013, Christchurch CBD New Zealand.
Street artists armed with spray cans and paint rollers are coming to the rescue of Christchurch's struggling suburbs and city centre. Dozens of large artworks have been created on walls across the city this month with many more going up this week.
The RISE street-art festival has commissioned a dozen large street-art paintings in the city centre, while the From the Ground Up project has organised about 16 large artworks in the city centre and Sydenham. Christchurch business owners and city leaders believe street art will help regenerate areas hit hard by the earthquakes and draw tourists to the city.
Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter Townsend said street art adds ''a whole new dimension'' to what the city offered.
"Putting street art in significant places in our city has the potential to make Christchurch unique,'' he said.
''It can create a real point of difference for a city and transform otherwise ugly buildings into an asset for the city.''
RISE festival director George Shaw said vibrant street art changed the feel of a city.
''If you paint amazing art on blank walls it brightens everything up and makes the place feel relevant and alive.
''That is desperately needed in cities across the world and especially in Christchurch.''
From the Ground Up organiser Jacob Ryan said about 20 New Zealand artists had created artwork in the city for the project.
''We wanted to get the city going again and make Christdhchurch a more interesting place. The aim was to brighten up the city. It has a real impact on this scale. Christchurch is the perfect canvas.''
Sydenham Quarter chairman Anthony Barker said street art had brightened his quake-hit suburb and attracted shoppers.
The business association helped get permission for street artists to use walls in Sydenham for the From the Ground Up festival.
The RISE festival also includes a major street-art exhibition at the Canterbury Museum opening tomorrow. The exhibition will feature one of the largest private collections of Banksy artworks in the world, work by international and local street artists, and new work by Australian artist Ian Strange.

Earlier today, the Guardian's data store released a list showing how much different countries and organizations have pledged to the Haiti eathquake aid effort.
I built a visualization tool to turn these numbers into something real - first, I asked how much money was being spent per citizen of these countries. Then I took that figure and converted it to Avatar minutes: how many minutes of Avatar would this earthquake aid pay for?
Sweden gives up the most Avatar minutes (37 - almost a quarter of the film) while Canada donates just 3 minutes of Avatar time per citizen (which probably wouldn't even make it through the credits).
These images are a screenshot from a tool which allows you to explore the data in detail.

N°82930
The race list of Talbot-Lago T150 C number 82930 is a comprehensive list of racing. Evocative names, famous circuits and colorful owners make up ist thoroughbred history. This car participated in 28 Grand Prix and it competed at Le Mans no fewer than four times. It has covered the dangerous, gruelling yet scenic 1,000 mile journey of the Mille Miglia on five separately occasions. It has been driven by some of the greatest drivers the sport has produced : Cadot, Chiron, Chinetti, Bradley, Levegh. It has fought for victory on the world's most famous circuits. Names that are as famous now as they were 50 years ago. Names such as the Nürburgring, Silverstone, Donington and Le Mans.
Chassis number 82930 was built to be driven by works driver Jimmy Bradley, the son of the respected Autocar journalist William Bradley. In the event the factory were persuaded to sell the car to the wealthy financier Francisque Cadot. The car was delivered in time for him to campain it in the AFC Grand Prix. The factory later decided to take the car back and display it on the Talbot-Lago stand at the Salon de l'Auto in October 1936. After the show the car regained its liberty. Chinetti, the crew chief of Francisque Cadot, set up a racing team. He later went on to become the first official Ferrari importer into the United States. While still independent, Chinetti's team retained strong links with the factory's works team. This "Team B" raced both 82930 and its sister car 82932. The factory asked Chinetti to represent him at the 1937 Mille Miglia. At this time the car had the chassis number 82933. Customs paperwork was required for the race, and 82933 was not an official works car. The factory therefore, renumbered 82933 as 82930 the chassis number the car still wears today.
The car was campained superbly until the breakout of war, taking part at Le Mans in 1937. It was driven by the great French driver Chiron, a man who's stature is unparalleled in Grand Prix racing and is highly regarded even today. Not content with racing just once at Le Mans, the car went on to compete again in 1938 and in 1939. It was raced at the Spa 24 Hours, and participated in the gruelling Liege-Rome-Liege rally in 1938.
From the end of 1938 though the end of the 1946 season, the car was raced almost exclusively by Levegh. The real name of this extraordinary driver was Pierre Bouillon.
International racing was stopped during the war. In 1945, 82930's second and equally illustrious career began. With its modified body, factory allocated chassis number and brilliant drivers. 82930 helped disquise the harsh reality, and demonstrated the promise of a strong future.
In 1949 the car participated in the first Le Mans 24 Hours since the end of the war and campained successfully in a series of French Grand Prix. By 1950, 82930 was allowed to recuperate. During this time the car went through the hands of a few French owners. Among them was the colourful Raymond Reynier. He was given the ironically nickname Picasso. It was stemmed from the dedication and respect with which he personally applied the racing numbers to 82930.
In 1983 the car was sold to its first English owner Charles Howard who later sold the car on to Dan Margulies. These enthusiastic owners brought the car back to racing all over Europe.
The car now is in a ready to race condition and has a lovely patina from an older restoration but was always maintained carefully.

The Grade I Listed St Grwst Church, Llanrwst, County Conwy, North Wales.
The church was built in the in the 1470s in Perpendicular Gothic style, while the Gwydir Chapel was added in 1633–34 by Richard Wynn of Gwydir. The west tower was added in the early 19th century, replacing a bellcote. In 1884 the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin restored the church and added a north aisle. They also removed the west gallery, and reseated the church, increasing its capacity to 362. The cost of their work amounted to £2,300 (£200,000 as of 2014).
The Gwydir Chapel contains 17th-century fittings and fixtures, including stalls, a lectern and a communion table. There are also numerous monuments and a 13th-century stone coffin which is said to be that of Llywelyn the Great. The monuments date from 1440 to the 17th century, these include the tomb of Sir John Wynn, who died in 1627, and other members of the Wynn family.

Listed houses on the edge of the Crittall estate at Braintree. Tolerably original, but the left-hand side has renewed the front door and removed some of the horizontal glazing bars, presumably by hacksawing them out. It would be best to re-expose the naked concrete but, if not, I hope the owners can be brought to agree on a common colour scheme. The architects of these houses are given as C. H. B. Quennell and W. F. Crittall. The site, nearby, of the Crittall factory, has been redeveloped in recent years.
The gardens of the Grade I Listed Bishop's Palace, Wells, Somerset.
Construction began around 1210 by Bishop Jocelin of Wells but principally dates from 1230. Bishop Jocelin continued the cathedral building campaign begun by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin, and was responsible for building the Bishop's Palace, as well as the choristers' school, a grammar school, a hospital for travellers and a chapel within the liberty of the cathedral. The chapel and great hall were built between 1275 and 1292 for Bishop Robert Burnell. The windows had stone tracery. Stone bosses where the supporting ribs meet on the ceiling are covered with representations of oak leaves and the Green Man. The building is seen as a fine example of the Early English architectural style.
In the 14th century, Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury continued the building. He had an uneasy relationship with the citizens of Wells, partly because of his imposition of taxes, and surrounded his palace with crenellated walls, a moat and a drawbridge. The 5 metres (16 ft) high three-storey gatehouse, which dates from 1341, has a bridge over the moat. The entrance was protected by a heavy gate, portcullis and drawbridge, operated by machinery above the entrance, and spouts through which defenders could pour scalding liquids onto any attacker. The drawbridge was still operational in 1831 when it was closed after word was received that the Palace of the Bishop of Bristol was subject to an arson attack during the Bristol riots. These took place after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill. The proposal had aimed to get rid of some of the rotten boroughs and give Britain's fast growing industrial towns such as Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford and Leeds greater representation in the House of Commons; however there was no rioting in Wells. The water which filled the moat flowed from the springs in the grounds which had previously chosen its own course as a small stream separating the cathedral and the palace and causing marshy ground around the site. The moat acted as a reservoir, controlled by sluice gates, which powered watermills in the town.
The north wing (now the Bishop's House) was added in the 15th century by Bishop Beckington, with further modifications in the 18th century, and in 1810 by Bishop Beadon. It was restored, divided, and the upper storey added by Benjamin Ferrey between 1846 and 1854. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1548, Bishop Barlow sold Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset the palace and grounds. These were recovered after the Duke's execution in 1552.
In the 1550s, Bishop Barlow sold the lead from the roofs of the great hall. This resulted in it falling into a ruined state. It can be seen in an engraving of 1733 but was largely demolished around 1830 by Bishop Law. He created a "more picturesque ruin" by removing the south and east walls and laying out and planting the area previously occupied by the great hall. The palace was used as a garrison for troops in both the English Civil War and Monmouth Rebellion after which it was used as a prison for rebels after the Battle of Sedgemoor.
Bishop Kidder was killed during the Great Storm of 1703, when two chimney stacks in the palace fell on him and his wife, while they were asleep in bed. A central porch was added around 1824 and, in the 1840s and 1850s, Benjamin Ferrey restored the palace and added an upper storey. He also restored the chapel using stained glass from ruined French churches.
The palace now belongs to the Church Commissioners and is managed and run by The Palace Trust. The main palace is open to the public, including the medieval vaulted undercroft, chapel and a long gallery, although the Bishops House is still used as a residence and offices. There is a cafe overlooking the Croquet Lawn. The palace is licensed for weddings and used for conferences and meetings. The croquet lawn in front of the palace is used on a regular basis. The palace was used as a location for some of the scenes in the 2007 British comedy Hot Fuzz, and more recently in the 2016 film The Huntsman.

Dublin Airport, (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW), is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority. It is located in Collinstown, in the county of Fingal, Ireland. In 2011, 18.8 million passengers passed through the airport, making it the busiest of the state's airports by total passenger traffic, followed by Cork Airport and Shannon Airport. It also has the greatest traffic levels on the island of Ireland followed by Belfast International Airport, George Best Belfast City Airport, Cork and Shannon.
The airport is located 5.4 NM (10.0 km; 6.2 mi) north of Dublin city in a once-rural area near Swords. It is served by buses and taxis. Plans to connect the airport to Swords and Dublin city centre via a rapid transit line (Metro North), have been postponed by the Government.
Dublin Airport is the headquarters of Ireland's flag carrier (Aer Lingus), Europe's largest low-cost carrier (Ryanair) and Ireland's regional airline (Aer Arann). Ireland's fourth airline, CityJet, operates flights from the airport and its HQ is located in the nearby town of Swords.
In 1936 the Government of Ireland established a new civil airline, Aer Lingus, which began operating from the military aerodrome, Casement Aerodrome, at Baldonnel to the southwest of Dublin. However, the decision was made that a civil airport should replace Baldonnel as the city's airport. Collinstown, to the north of Dublin, was selected as the location for the new civil aerodrome. Collinstown's first association with aviation was as a British military air base during World War I, but had been unused since 1922. Construction of the new airport began in 1937. By the end of 1939 a grass airfield surface, internal roads, car parks and electrical power and lighting were set up. The inaugural flight from Dublin took place on 19 January 1940 to Liverpool. In 1940 work began on a new airport terminal building. The terminal building design was by the architect Desmond FitzGerald, brother of politician Garret FitzGerald. It opened in early 1941, with its design being heavily influenced by the bridges of the luxury ocean liners of the time. The terminal was also awarded the Triennial Gold Medal of the Royal Hibernian Institute of Architects and is today a listed building. Upon the outbreak of World War II, services were severely restricted at Dublin Airport until late 1945 and the only international scheduled route operated during this time was by Aer Lingus to Liverpool (and for a period to Manchester's Barton Aerodrome). Three new concrete runways were completed by 1947.
During the 1980s, major competition, especially on the Dublin–London routes, resulted in passenger numbers swelling to 5.1 million in 1989. In the same year a new 8,650 ft (2,640 m) runway and a state-of-the-art air traffic control centre were opened. Dublin Airport continued to expand rapidly in the 1990s. Pier A, which had been the first extension to the old terminal building, was significantly extended. A new Pier C, complete with air bridges, was built and as soon as this was completed, work commenced to extend it to double its capacity. The ground floor of the original terminal building, which is today a listed building, was returned to passenger service after many years to provide additional departure gates. Pier D, completed in October 2007, is a dedicated low-fares boarding area and provides 14 quick turn-around stands and departure gates; these are not served by air bridges.

Caernarfon's town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town of Caernarfon in North Wales. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1292 after the foundation of Caernarfon by Edward I, alongside the adjacent castle. The walls are 734 m (2,408 ft) long and include eight towers and two medieval gatehouses. The project was completed using large numbers of labourers brought in from England; the cost of building the walls came to around £3,500, a large sum for the period. The walls were significantly damaged during the rebellion of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294, and had to be repaired at considerable expense. Political changes in the 16th century reduced the need to maintain such defences around the town. Today the walls form part of the UNESCO world heritage site administered by Cadw. Archaeologists Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham describe the defences as "a remarkably intact walled circuit".
Grade I listed building.
History
The borough of Caernarfon was established by Edward I of England under the Statute of Wales in 1284. It was the centre of government for N Wales and was protected by the erection of the Town Wall, with Caernarfon Castle at its S end. The construction of the Town Wall had begun in 1283 in conjunction with the building of Caernarfon Castle, probably under the direction of James of St George who was architect of the castle. Masonry work on the first phase of the Town Wall was completed by 1285, re-using some stone from Segontium Roman fort. The Town Wall was badly damaged in the native uprising of 1294 and were restored and improved in 1295 at a cost of £1195. The wall walk and towers were further repaired in 1309-12. Of other entrances, only a single postern gate has survived intact, the Greengate to the SE. Former posterns on the W side are infilled and can be seen in the W wall of the church of St Mary and gable end of the police station. Another postern, the Water Gate at the end of Castle Ditch, has been altered. Further openings facing Bank Quay, from Church Street, Market Street and Northgate Street, are later insertions. The bell tower at the NW corner was converted for ecclesiastical use as accommodation for the chaplain of the church of St Mary, built 1307-16. The Bath Tower facing the Promenade was converted in 1823 when the Earl of Uxbridge created public baths on the site of the present 11-17 Church Street, part of a scheme to attract visitors to the town, when the upper stage of the Bath Tower became a reading room. The main E and W entrances survive substantially intact (are listed as separate items).
Exterior
High coursed rubble-stone wall in several straight sections forming an irregular plan and a circuit approximately 730m long, with 2 gate houses (listed as separate items) and eight 2-stage round towers contrasting with the polygonal towers of the castle. The quality of masonry in the wall is variable, accounted for by various repairs and restorations. The towers have mainly open gorges and were originally crossed by timber bridges, one of which has been repaired on the NE side. The upper stages of the towers have arrow loops, while the embattled parapet, where it survives, has similar loops to the merlons. The walls have regular brattice slots. At the SE end the wall has been demolished across Castle Ditch and begins on its N side, where on the inner side facing Hole-in-the-Wall Street stone steps to the wall walk survive at high level, and where there is a postern gate, known as the Greengate, under a 2-centred arch with portcullis slot. The adjacent tower has a shouldered lintel to a fireplace in the upper stage. The wall, with 2 towers and the East Gate to High Street, continues on a high bank, around to the N side facing Bank Quay. The NE tower survives to the full height of its battlements and has stone steps on the inner side. A skewed archway has been inserted leading to Northgate Street. Further W, an inserted segmental arch spans a double-carriageway entrance to Market Street, while the tower on its W side also retains stone steps. A lower segmental arch leads to Church Street immediately to the E of the church.
On the NW side the church of St Mary is integral with the Town Wall and its NW, or Bell Tower, houses the vestry, while its upper storey served as a priest's dwelling. Facing N it has a 2-light Tudor window under a hoodmould, with sunk spandrels, while the W face has a plainer 2-light window in the upper stage. On the parapet is a gabled bellcote. A blocked former postern gate is on the return facing the promenade, incorporated into the church. The next tower facing the promenade is the Bath Tower, which has early C19 detail in connection with the baths established in 1823. It has its doorway in the S side facing the Promenade, which has a pointed arch with studded boarded door and Y-tracery overlight. In the N and S faces the upper stage has restored 3-light mullioned and transomed windows incorporating iron-frame casements, and restored embattled parapet. A 2-storey projection with parapet is built behind. At the W end of the High Street is the former gatehouse known as Porth-yr-Aur, beyond which there is a single tower behind the former jail. The tower is enclosed at the rear by a late C19 wall with segmental arch flanked by small-pane windows under lintels.

There was a little flurry of interest yesterday on the dynamo I showed in my previous photo. This is the same dynamo shown when I purchased it along with the engine. The date the slide was processed was April 1982, so this photo was taken a little while before that.

Details
Abbey church. Built 1907-1932, on the foundations of the medieval Cistercian abbey church (except the east end). FA Walters. For the Benedictine monks who established a house here in 1882. Most of the building work was carried out by a small group of monks working under a master mason. Snecked local grey limestone with Ham Hill dressings; copper roof. Style "mixture of English Cistercian and French early Gothic" (Pevsner). 1965 east end Blessed Sacrament chapel to the designs of Paul Pearn. Plan: church with 8-bay lean-to aisles plus galleried western bay; central crossing tower; transepts with chapels; 3-bay choir with choir aisles; east end Blessed Sacrament chapel with undercroft. EXTERIOR: west end of nave with flanking projecting buttresses containing stairs to gallery, rising as pinnacles with broach spire roofs, bases and pinnacles decorated with blind arcading. Round-headed west doorway with shafts, left and right shafts with cushion capitals and carved gable. Doorway has 3 orders of zigzag, billet and chevron moulding on engaged shafts; 2-leaf door with elaborate ironwork. Above the doorway a recessed 3-centred blind moulded arch containing 2 round-headed windows with shafts and a roundel window above. Above the archway blind arcading decorates the gable. West ends of lean-to aisles have smaller versions of the buttresses flanking the nave and paired round-headed openings (one blind) with roundels above. North side of 9-bay nave has pilasters and a corbelled parapet. Round-headed triforium windows linked by string rising as continuous hoodmould. Nave with parapet and round-headed windows, the hoodmould string interrupted by the pilasters. Small gabled porch in second bay from the west with set-back buttresses, parapet and round-headed outer doorway with shafts and chevron-carved arch. Easternmost 2 bays of aisle with taller roof and blind arcading above the windows. North end of north transept with tall paired arches containing 4 tiers of glazed blind and glazed windows, either round-headed or roundels. East side of transept has one-bay chapel. The choir continues in the same style with lean-to choir aisle roofs. 1965 concrete east end chapel on 4 columns with shallow gabled roof. Tower with 3 stages above nave roof. Clasping pilasters; corner pinnacles with 2 tiers of blind arcading and broach spires, crow-stepped parapet. Lower stage has lancet windows in round-headed recesses, middle stage has small lancet windows in moulded arched recesses; 2-light plate-traceried louvred belfry windows. INTERIOR: Stone-vaulted, the aisles with transverse vaults. Arcades with piers with engaged shafts and chamfred and moulded arches. Nave rib vault with red sandstone infill. Triforium has a pair of 2-light pointed arches to each bay with super-ordinate round-headed blind arch. Aisle walls decorated with blind round-headed recesses containing triple round-headed arches on shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Stone-vaulted west end gallery on piers with canted bays to parapet. Tower arches on short paired shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Crossing has corbelled stone gallery; transepts have simple galleries on moulded corbels with cast-iron railings. Choir has similar detail to nave but carved, not moulded capitals and stone infill to the vaulting of choir and choir aisles. East end of sanctuary has 2 round-headed arches and 2 round-headed windows above the triforium with a central shaft rising to a carving of the Coronation of the Virgin. The furnishings, floors, painted decoration and stained glass are unexpectedly lavish, particularly the outstanding metalwork, which is mostly 1928-1932 by Bernhard Witte of Aachen, inspired by German Romanesque metalwork and described in some detail in Pevsner. The stained glass is a remarkable collection, mostly still in the medievalising Victorian tradition and of the highest quality. In addition the church contains a C16 ivory crucifix donated by the Clifford family of Ugbrooke, the leading Roman Catholic family in Devon. 1965 Blessed Sacrament chapel by Paul Pearn conceived as a setting for ambitious mosaic stained glass designed by Father Charles Norris, one of the Buckfast Abbey monks. Historical note: the rebuilding of the abbey church by the Buckfast monks was well-publicised in the national and local press and one of the monks with an interest in photography recorded much of the work: the archive is held by the abbey. Buckfast Abbey became an important focus for Roman Catholicism in Devon in the late C19 and C20 with the monks serving private chapels in the area, including Ugbrooke in Chudleigh for the Clifford family and Dundridge in Harberton for the wife of Sir John Harvey.

Maritime Greenwich has a long history and much more than I understand. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has been a palace (since demolished), a hospital, a naval college and now a museum. The domed building here is King William Court and houses The Painted Hall. I should have made some time to go inside the buildings, but I guess that'll go on the list for another visit.
