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.
Hamilton, Ontario Canada
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 II Listed Stable House of the now demolished Middleton Hall; whose grounds now contain the National Botanic Garden of Wales, in the River Tywi Valley, Carmarthenshire, Wales
Middleton Hall stables were built to the design of S P Cockerell, the architect of the Hall. The Hall was completed in 1795 and the stables are probably contemporary.
The service yard of the Hall and the stables were planned on one axis so that it was said to be possible to see from the Hall to the foaling yard behind the stables. A second rear stable building parallel to the original stables was added by 1853 on the same axis, with a little extension dated 1870.
Middleton Hall was ruined by fire in 1931 and demolished in 1951. The stables are much restored and are currently in use as administrative offices for the National Botanic Garden.

"The harbour that we have today was begun in 1760 to meet the demands of the developing ore industry in the Camborne and Redruth area. In 1846 the harbour was extended with the inner basin being constructed and in the 1860s New Dock (Now commonly known as the Little Beach) was constructed.
By the 1840s Portreath was handling a staggering 700 shiploads per year and handling an amazing 100,000 tones of ore. By the end of the 19th Century, this trade had seriously diminished although imports of domestic coal, cement, slate even potatoes continued until well after World War Two." (portreath-harbour.org/)

The Grade II* Listed Pont Abermaw (Barmouth Viaduct) a single-track wooden railway viaduct which carries the Cambrian Line across the estuary of the Afon Mawddach near Barmouth, Wales.
The longest timber viaduct in Wales, and one of the oldest in regular use in Britain, Barmouth Bridge was designed by and constructed for the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway on its line between Aberystwyth and Pwllheli. Work was authorised in 1861, commenced in 1864 and opened in 1867.
Following the discovery of severe corrosion on underwater sections of ironwork, an intensive restoration programme was performed between December 1899 and late 1902. By 1980, the viaduct was under attack by marine woodworm, which led to concerns that it would have to be closed and demolished. Because of its value to tourism, it was repaired between 1985 and 1986, a closure of six months; a weight restriction and ban on locomotive-hauled trains were also introduced. These restrictions have been relaxed since 2005.
The viaduct, between Morfa Mawddach and Barmouth stations in Gwynedd, is used by rail, cyclists and pedestrians and is part of the National Cycle Route 8. Tolls were collected for foot and cycle traffic up to 2013 but this has been voluntary since 2017. To allow the passage of tall ships, the bridge incorporated a drawbridge, which was replaced between 1899 and 1902 by a swing bridge, which is no longer operational due to a lack of use.

NYE in NYC... Times Square even. Great experience with a bunch of great friends.
The Fuji battery had crapped out and lucky for me I packed the Coolpix A as well so it served for all the NYE shenanigans and did very well.
The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, 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.

The building stands on a corner site, and is in red brick with red sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a canted corner, it is mainly in a single storey, and has fronts of three and five bays. On the corner is a Tudor arched doorway with an elaborately carved surround, above which is a panelled parapet and a shaped gable containing a plaque with the date.
My original intent for this day was to chase 23M west with the NS 1069 (Virginian HU) on the point. However, by the time I had gotten to Harrisburg, 23M was already half an hour ahead of me. Upset and just looking to kill an hour or so, I decided to head a little further west to Port Royal.
In the back of my mind I knew that the 62V had 8102 leading, but wasn't expecting it to show. Last week I had gotten burned waiting for 62V to come east because it had gotten held up in Altoona due to track work around Antis. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I heard clear as day on the scanner, "62V Clear Mifflin". I couldn't believe it. And now I can proudly say that I can check this shot off my photography bucket list!

Circa 1900 - Taylor Monument in the cemetry at Newport Pagnell 11Apr17 grade II listed.
The following is from Historic England.
Name: TAYLOR MONUMENT IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF EASTERN SECTION OF THE CEMETERY
Designation Type: Listing
Grade: II
List UID: 1380123
Monument. c.1900 for members of the Taylor family. Probably built by Wilford Bros, Builders and Funeral directors, of Union Street, Newport Pagnell. Built of brick, faced with Bath oolitic limestone in ashlar work, and carrying 5 copper/bronze plaques and two wooden tablets. The monument is in the form of an exedra backing into the terraced slope. Wide curved arms with terminal dentilled and corniced pilasters, rounding to a central arched aedicule between similar pilasters; a round-headed arch set in a channel-rusticated surround with an open modillion pediment, and a cushioned shield above the arch bearing the legend MORS JANVA VITAE. The curved wings have a continuous cornice and a seat, between which the plain ashlar walling has raised carved attenuated trees with roots and foliage in an Art-Nouveau style rising as fictive supports to the modillion cornice. Between each tree there are plaques with the names of members of two generations of the family, the earliest, of cast bronze, to Thomas Taylor (1832-1900), by Blunt and Wray of Clerkenwell, the others of sheet bronze making a total of seven. The floor is paved within the tangent of the outer piers. Lead screw mountings on the cornice suggest a missing metal cresting. The Taylor family was were eminent in the town, as chemists, mustard and mineral water manufacturers.
