Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1219293
Date First Listed : 15 July 1991
Built in 1844. Originally a house, later used as an office, it is in brick with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It is in two storeys with a basement and an attic. There are four bays on Winckley Square, and three on Starkie Street. The doorway on Winckley Square has an architrave with pilasters, and a fanlight. On the Starkie Street front is a doorway with two Ionic columns, a dentilled cornice, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice. The windows are sashes with wedge lintels.

And so we come to the first of the Kent churches visited this month. Well, not quite true, as the very first church I tried to enter, St Mildred's in Preston, was locked fast as usual. Being the heritage weekend as well as ride and stride, and being on the latter list, one really hoped that the church would have made an effort, it being so remote and all.
But, they put a trestle table out, placed a rock on top of the check in sheet to stop it blowing away, and left the church for the day, despite arrangements having been made by another church the day before for it to be open.
This really is not good enough.
Anyway, St Mildred's was the first of three that were locked, but I managed to gain entry to seven previously closed churches to me. So, on the whole, I was pleased.
St Nicholas is a large and imposing church, with a huge churchyard, showing that it is one of the larger and better populated parishes in the area of east Kent.
There was a warden sitting at the table in the large doorway, and after a warm welcome we entered inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold.
In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'.
It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.
By the 13th century there was another chapel in the northwest of the parish, at Overland, where complaint was made in 1294 that 'there used to be a baptistery and seven years ago it was taken away and is at Esse'. Edward Hasted, writing about 1790, said that the chapel had been 'for some time in ruins ... having been desecrated about the beginning of this century'. Its exact site has now been lost : some carved stonework which may come from it is at Knell; a few more pieces are in the church.
In 1282 Ash became a separate parish. In the deed founding a College of Canons at Wingham and dividing that parish into four, Archbishop Peckham explained, 'We have turned our eyes to the church of Wingham as it were to a fruitful vineyard..... which cannot be easily cultivated by the labours of one husbandman... from the great extent of the parish as well as its numerous population'. He assigned to Wingham parish church the chapel of Overland; to Ash he gave the chapel of Fleet. It was the duty of the canons of Wingham College, to whom the tithes of Ash were paid, to provide a vicar. In 1535 the parishioners of Ash complained: 'There has always been a vicar here to serve the cure till for the last 22 years the said Canons have usurped the vicarage to their own use ... within a quarter of a year we have had seven curates, which has caused much strife as we are 500 residents.'
In 1547 Wingham College was suppressed by Henry VIII, and its possessions forfeited to the Crown. In 1549, "the late chapel called Richborough Chapel in Ash Parish with its burial ground, buildings, lead, glass, iron, stones and tiles except the bells and leaden roof", and "the late Chapel of Overland in Ash parish next Sandwich in width 22 feet in length 34 feet, with its burial ground of half a rod, buildings, etc.", were both sold to William Hyde and Hugh Cartwright.
The right of presentation to the benefice of Ash was granted by Queen Mary to the Archbishop in 1558, and three years later Queen Elizabeth I gave the rectory - the right to the great tithes - to the See of Canterbury. The Archbishop is still the patron of the living today.
In the 19th century the need again arose for chapels in the more distant parts of the parish. In 1842 Holy Trinity Church at Ware was built, and Westmarsh was formed into a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1849. The corrugated-iron mission room of St. Augustine's, Richborough, was opened in 1888. It was followed in 1892 by a similar room at Goldstone, rebuilt in 1904. But by the 1960s the motor car had made these separate buildings less necessary. In 1967 the parish of Westmarsh was re-united with Ash; St. Augustine's, Richborough, was closed in 1969, and Holy Trinity Church in 1970.
An unusual feature of the church is the south chancel, whose axis is out of alignment with the nave. It was once supposed that this architectural oddity represented the inclined head of Christ on the Cross, but a structural fault caused by rebuilding and restoration is a more likely explanation.
(Bygone Kent, 1985, Michael David Mirams.)
In recent years the Parish of Ash with Westmarsh has been linked to the parish churches at Goodnestone and Chillenden through a united benefice. Further pastoral reorganisation in the East Bridge Deanery means that a new canonry benefice is to be formed of the parishes of Ash, Chillenden, Elmstone, Goodnestone, Preston and Wingham. This is expected to be undertaken between 2012 and 2014.

Christmas Special: The Naughty List with Derpy Hooves & Snowcatcher
Derpy discovers she is on Santa’s naughty list! A normal pony would clean up her act, but fortunately Derpy is definitely not normal. Such “slander” requires a chaotic trip to the North Pole.
From UNESCO Tentative List of World Heritage Sites:
The tomb beside Alexandrovo village, discovered in December 2000, is a unique example of the domed Thracian tombs. Its construction was preliminarily dated from middle IV century B.C. and the wall painting decoration - from the second half of IV century B.C. (G. Kitov, 2001). It is situated under a mound of 60 m diameter and around 15 m high. It has East-West orientation, the entrance is from the East side and is composed of a dromos of above 9 m length, a rectangular antechamber with width of 1,85 m, length of 1,20 m, and a round camera with diameter of 3,30 m and 3,30 m height. The type of construction is stone one with a dry joint (dry walling). Particular decision represents the long dromos, covered with stone plates, and the low entrances to the antechamber and the chamber. The vault arch of the antechamber and the dome of the round chamber are of “artificial vault” type with console protruding stone quadrates. All the premises were entirely decorated with wall paintings. From the wall-paintings in the antechamber separate fragments remained, but the decoration of the round chamber is very well preserved. The decoration scheme is elaborated in horizontal zones of alternating monochrome sections, ornamental friezes and figural compositions, thus the system of decoration shows elements of the so called structural style. On the precise hewed stone construction a double layered lime plaster is impasted and smoothed up. The monochrome zones are performed in “stucco lustro” technique and their plaster surface is precisely polished. The painting technique can be determined as “fresco”. The differences in the line and proportions between the painted figures in the antechamber and in the dromos are most probably due to the participation in the painting process of at least two masters. The decoration of the round chamber is the richest one. From below upwards it consist of a figural frieze, a monochrome girdle, a high plinth in a Pompeian red, a drip with three elements – a cima lesbos, a meander and a cordon, second figural frieze with four groups of hunt-scenes, a belt of cima lesbos, above which the dome is painted in ochre. The plate in the zenith is divided in four colored sections. The low-situated figural frieze is considerably damaged. Of great interest is the very well preserved upper figural frieze. The painting represents four realistic and dynamically decided scenes of boar and deer hunting, which give rich information about the Thracians’ way of life, of their physical appearance, arms, horse-trappings etc.
The picture is from the museum and the copy of the Tomb.
In its 1950s heyday, the Lister car company successfully built and campaigned powerful Jaguar-powered racing cars. It was therefore logical, when the marque was revived in the 1980s, that it would remain loyal to Jaguar power for its road and race cars.
Through extensive experience gained by tuning and radically modifying XJ-S V12s, Lister used the faithful Jaguar base for its own ambitious race weapon. The resulting Storm was a 2+2 front-engined coupe, catapulted to 208mph by a 546hp 7-litre V12, designed for the GTI class of the Le Mans 24-hour race. Despite its British bulldog spirit, the Lister expired after 40 laps of the 1995 endurance race.
The extortionately expensive road going version didn't fare much better either, with only four examples of the £450,000 (in 1993!) Storm being built.

Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1072409
Date First Listed : 16 August 1983
This house was built in 1895. It is constructed of Accrington brick with red tile roofs and has pebbledash in its gables. Designed in the Vernacular Revival style, it has a rectangular plan and is of two and a half storeys. Inside, the house is designed in the Jacobean style, decorated with stained glass windows, murals and a panelled ceiling. In the main hall, a large Imperial staircase leads to a gallery surrounded by a balustrade. It was originally the home of Benjamin Sykes of the architectural firm Garlick, Park and Sykes, and was probably designed by him.
Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.

This is where it all started in my youth! My father was a good friend of Geoff Lister the Bolton based bus dealer and usually on a Sunday morning we would go down to the yard on our weekly visit to see what had arrived or departed. There were many permenant residents in the yard though that Geoff kept as a personal collection. There was a great variety of really old buses, in particular two ex Sunderland all Crossley double deckers and an all Crossley double decker that had been new to Blackburn. My favourite was Geoff's office, the top deck of the centre entrance Burlingham bodied Leyland PD1 from Blackpool Corporation! Most of Geoff's collection were of course former Bolton Corporation vehicles, some which he kept and some that were broken for spares. Here we have a facinating collection of half cabs, Left to right are former Lancaster City East Lancs bodied Leyland PD2, 129DTD then former Bolton all Leyland PD1, 411 DBN329 then former Bolton MCW Orion bodied AEC Regent 166 SBN766 and an uidentified former Bolton East Lancs bodied Leyland Titan PD2.
Restoration work had started on the Bolton all Leyland PD2 DBN329 but was later abandoned when a better example, DBN311 was acquired and restored instead. Geoff still owns that bus! The AEC Regent 166 SBN766 was stripped down for spares to assist in the restoration of its sister and the last in the batch, 167 SBN767.
_La comida esta lista!!! _ gritó mi madre desde la escalera. Yo estaba con mis primos en la habitación. Bajamos corriendo, estábamos hambrientos y yo además deseoso de darles a todos mi sorpresa.
Mi abuela se hallaba condimentando la ensalada. Al pasar junto a ella acaricie su espalda y vi en sus ojos el agradecimiento. Estaban todos… mi tía Elena mi tía Gloria, que no paraban de llevarse cosas a la boca (cualquier cosa comestible) perseguían a mi madre contándoles todas clases de anécdotas y chismes. Mi padre retiraba el asado de la parrilla junto a mi abuelo y mi tío Sergio. Seguramente hablaban de fútbol o política.
Un aire de unión familiar y alegría se percibía en el aire. Nunca mi familia fue desunida. Pero ahora parecían llevarse mejor que nunca.
Nos sentamos todos alrededor de la mesa del jardín, la cual se hallaba decorada con varios tipos de ensaladas y el lujoso juego de vajillas que mi madre guardaba para ocasiones especiales.
El sol, Que caía confortablemente entre las hojas de los árboles que nos rodeaban, y la suave y aromatizada brisa de primavera constituían un escenario perfecto para una familia deseosa de compartir una comida.
El último en sentarse fue mi padre, quien trajo una gran bandeja llena de trozos de carne asada y variedad de achuras. Le sirvió a cada uno lo que quería y comenzamos a comer.
A los pocos minutos mi padre recordó que faltaba en la mesa su “condimento especial para carne” que su abuelo le había enseñado a preparar y que llevaba varios días reposando para esta ocasión.
Yo sabía desde que nos sentamos que no estaba en la mesa, y aunque no me gustaba estaba más ansioso que mi padre por que todos lo prueben, pero aguantaba la tentación de ir a buscarlo para ver hasta que punto el hambre pasa por sobre la memoria. Pero bueno finalmente lo recordó y yo accedí gustoso de ir a buscarlo.
Todos se sirvieron. Mi tía Gloria, como para asegurarse el sentir su sabor, se sirvió dos cucharadas colmadas que cubrían por completo su trozo de carne y luego chupo la cuchara.
Todos comían y conversaban ansiosamente. Por momentos había dos o hasta tres temas de conversación diferentes, cruzándose por sobre la mesa. Lo que me hacia pensar que eso se debía a la impaciencia en cada uno por opinar o tocar otro tema. Siempre hay uno que por no esperar que llegue el momento comenta algo a quien tiene a su lado o al frente y así se aparta del tema principal para construir el suyo. Y llegue a la conclusión de que eso es una falta de respeto, una falta de educación, pero que pasa desapercibida como tantas otras.
Y llego el momento. Como haciendo caso a mi deseo la primera fue mi tía Gloria. Se llevó las manos al cuello y comenzó a gemir como un cerdo. Sus ojos parecían querer saltar a la fuente de ensalada rusa que estaba frente a ella.
Mis primos corrieron a ella y la tomaron uno de cada brazo como si esta estuviese por salir volando.
Mi padre también se levantó para socorrerla, con algo de pánico en sus ojos, y a pocos pasos cayo tendido sobre el ceded. Fue instantánea su muerte, quizás había mas veneno concentrado en la cucharada que el se sirvió.
Luego siguió mi abuela, los demás parecían paralizados por el espectáculo que sus ojos veían. Comenzó a temblar con la boca abierta dejando ver sobre la lengua un trozo de carne, que luego cayo sobre su falda cuando su cabeza quedo inclinada hacia adelante.
Cuando mire a mi tío Sergio ya estaba en el suelo muerto, con los ojos exageradamente abiertos mirando asía el cielo. Como buscando allí una respuesta. O me hacia pensar eso el hecho de que fuera tan religioso.
Los ojos no me daban para contemplar a todos. Me sentía muy seguro, sabia que no me podia pasar nada.
En un momento pensé en gritar_ ¡yo puse veneno en el condimento para carne!_ a lo sumo alguien me tomaría del cuello por algún rato hasta caer muerto.
Mi tía Elena y mi madre temblaban al unísono con una mirada realmente aterradora. Hasta que graciosamente ambas quedaron inclinadas sobre la mesa con la cara puesta dentro del plato.
Pensé que solo quedaban mis primos que todavía lloraban junto al lecho de su madre. Y pensé en patiarlos un poco, pero recordé a mi abuelo. Gire la cabeza y yacía sentado mirándome. Por un momento tuve miedo, hasta que me di cuenta que estaba muerto. A diferencia de los demás el había quedado duro como una estatua y con su mirada clavada en mi. Pasaron por mi cabeza varias de las historias que el siempre contaba. El había estado en la guerra, y heroicamente había salvado la vida de uno de sus compañeros. Siempre mostraba con orgullo la medalla que le habían dado por aquel acto. Esa era mi historia preferida. De chico se la contaba a todos mis amigos con el mismo entusiasmo con que el me la contaba a mi, como si yo fuera el nieto de un superhéroe. Quien prensaría que mas tarde moriría tan facilmente.
Mire nuevamente a mis primos y ya estaban muertos. Estaba solo. La carne aun despedía su exquisito olor. El sol era mi unico cómplice junto con la suave brisa que movía las hojas, que traía el canto de algunos pájaros y acariciaba la escena del crimen.
Hato Rey, Puerto Rico
Listed 1/22/2014
Reference Number: 13001118
The Hiram Bithorn Stadium is statewide significant under Criterion A as the property has been center stage in the sporting, recreational and social development of Puerto Rico. Since its construction in 1962, the Hiram Bithorn Stadium has served as venue for events of great importance such as sports tournaments and professionals practices; amateur tournaments of baseball, basketball and football; intercollegiate games, boxing, wrestling and car competitions. The stadium has been the preferred location for social events such as trade shows, fairs, circuses, conventions; and educational, cultural, recreational, political, and ecumenical activities. The Hiram Bithorn Stadium is also significant under Criterion C in Architecture for its modern mid-20th-century design, which highlights new architectural trends of the moment through the design of its structure, accordion-type roof and building techniques that were beginning to be applied at the time. The structure, elegant and austere, continues today serving Puerto Rico in its full capacity.

Arriving in Conwy near the Conwy Town Walls. I headed along Mount Pleasant and Tower Ditch Road towards Lower Gate Street and the Conwy Quay (mainly to see the bridges, and thought that way would be faster).
Conwy's town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town of Conwy in North Wales. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1287 after the foundation of Conwy by Edward I, and were designed to form an integrated system of defence alongside Conwy Castle. The walls are 1.3 km (0.81 mi) long and include 21 towers and three gatehouses. The project was completed using large quantities of labourers brought in from England; the cost of building the castle and walls together came to around £15,000, a huge sum for the period. The walls were slightly damaged during the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr in 1401, but political changes in the 16th century reduced the need to maintain such defences around the town. The fortifications were treated sympathetically during the development of the road and railway systems in Conwy during the 19th century and survived largely intact into the modern period. Today the walls form part of the UNESCO world heritage site administered by Cadw. Historians Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham describe the defences as "one of the most impressive walled circuits" in Europe.
During the 19th century some changes to Conwy's town walls were made in order to accommodate a new railway line and roads. The engineer Thomas Telford built two new gateways into the walls in 1826 to accommodate the traffic from the new suspension bridge across the river Conwy. In 1848 Robert Stephenson constructed the Chester to Holyhead railway line, which ran through Conwy; unusually for the period, attempts were made to sensitively protect the appearance of the medieval fortifications and the entrance for the railway through the walls on the south side of the town was built in the form of a mock-Gothic archway, while an exit tunnel was dug under the western walls.
Interest in the town walls grew and in the 19th century one of the towers was restored and part of the wall-walk opened up for tourists. The walls were architecturally surveyed for the first time between 1928 and 1930, with the results published in 1938. The town walls were leased from Conwy's local authority by the Ministry of Works in 1953, and a concerted effort began to conserve and protect the fortifications. Many of the houses and buildings which had grown up against the walls since the 14th century were removed in an effort to improve the appearance of the walled circuit and to assist in conservation and archaeological work, and one of the 19th-century gateways inserted by Telford was demolished in 1958. Arnold J. Taylor, a prominent historian of the Edwardian castles, conducted extensive academic work on the history and architecture of Conwy's walls during the 1950s and 1960s, adding to their prominence.
Today Conwy's walls are managed by the Welsh heritage organisation Cadw as a tourist attraction; they form a popular walk around the town, although not all of the walls are safe for tourists to use. The walls require ongoing maintenance; in the financial year between 2002 and 2003, for example, this cost £145,000 (£184,000 in 2010 terms). The walls were declared part of a UNESCO world heritage site in 1986 and are classed as a grade 1 listed building and hold scheduled monument status. They are considered by historians Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham to be "one of the most impressive walled circuits" in Europe.
