History
Of at least C18 origin, evidence for which is the external stack and comparatively low proportions of the ground and first floors, but the character of the present building is C19, during which time it was probably heightened.
Exterior
A tall 3-storey 3-window public house of whitened pebble-dashed walls, with smooth-rendered black-painted plinth and architraves, under a slate roof on boarded overhanging eaves. An external stack is on the R side wall, while brick stacks are to the rear and L side abutting the town wall. Details are late C19, characteristic of public houses of the period. The gable-end front has a central panel door in a doorcase with pediment. Windows are horned sashes. The entrance is flanked by 2-pane windows incorporating etched glass. The 1st floor has a central 4-pane window flanked by narrower 2-pane windows, and the 2nd floor has shorter 2-pane windows to the R and L. A 1-storey extension on the L side is under a lean-to roof against the tower of Porth Isaf (part of the medieval town wall and listed separately), and has a 2-pane window.
In the R side wall the external stack is set back from the front gable end and has a later brick shaft. To its R is a 3-storey flat-roof projection.
The rear, where the ground level is higher, has a replacement 1st-floor window on the R side, 12-pane horned sash window above and inserted window on the L side of the 2nd floor. Inside the roofless and open shell of the tower of Porth Isaf is a 1½-storey lean-to with modern 3-light window.
Interior
The entrance vestibule has a half-glazed door with etched glass of the late C19. The main interior has been modernised.
Reasons for Listing
Listed for its special architectural interest as a commercial building retaining definite C19 character, with earlier origins that make it the earliest surviving quayside building in the town.

Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1291725
Date First Listed : 6 June 1951
The windmill, dating from 1805, is a tower mill and stands on Lytham Green. It was operational until 1918, and was restored in 1987. The windmill is in rendered brick on a plinth of cobble walling, and has a wooden cap and sails. It contains a doorway and windows, and at the top is a boat-shaped cap and fantail.
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
now if you excuse me, theres a certain silver car i need to edit ;) www.flickr.com/photos/alex_thelegofan/
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!
I took this photograph of two cars leaving the paddock for the qualifying session for the Louis Vuitton '50s Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.Number 33 is the 1959 Lister Jaguar Knobbly of renowned Mexican collector Eduardo Baptista, though listed in the programme of the event as his 1955 Aston Martin DB3S. The following car is the 1955 Aston Martin DB3S of David Bennett.
I would like to thank all of my Flickr Friends for their comments, awards, and invites over this past year. I appreciate all of them very much and look forward to seeing and commenting on all of my contact's images next year. I hope that the new year is a good one for each and everyone of you.

Need to add some more to my Summer to-do list. Will you help?
(Macro of Refrigerator Art, I organized at the Harn Museum of Art, Gainesville, Florida)
The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

VIDEO AT: youtu.be/u5T8JazeSzc
I'm now revisiting a few videos I made en femme not that long ago. This video snapshot is from May 2, 2019. When I previously posted pics for flickr from 2018-19 activity, I often only included here one or just a few snapshots per video taken. But more recently I've gotten into the practice of capturing more worthy video snapshots from individual videos of mine, so I'm doing a *retrospective* series now highlighting some such newly-captured snapshots, of course linking to the original video posted on YouTube.
As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* a "sugarplum" purple long layered-cut wig, from Forever 21;
* super-sexy Jessica Simpson fuchsia-magenta faux-suede strappy 4.5"-stiletto-heel dress sandals;
* a Thalia Sodi "plum combo" fuchsia-floral-print scuba pencil skirt, from Macy's;
* a B.Wear magenta scoopneck chiffon banded-trim 3/4-sleeves top;
* magenta wide-net fishnet stockings, from WeLoveColors.com, on top of nude ultra-sheer pantyhose;
* a fuchsia/black 2"-wide waist belt, from BeltIsCool.com;
* a magenta-purple handbag;
* a purple floral-print neck scarf;
* a fuchsia/pink necklace;
* fuchsia/pink/purple/gold bracelets; and
* rose gold rings & gold earrings.
This particular pic is a snapshot from a video taken in a ladies changing room at my local Macy's, where I like to utilize their extra mirrors to some effect. The full video (2019-05-02-video2) is posted on my YouTube channel at youtu.be/u5T8JazeSzc. Please check it out and comment/fave here (and/or there) if you like what you see.

Date First Listed : 20 June 1972
This was built 1836-8 as a Trustee Savings Bank, designed by George Webster in Italianate style, and the clock tower was added in 1844. The bank is in limestone, on a plinth, rusticated in the ground floor and ashlar above, and has a slate roof and two storeys. There is one bay on Market Street and three on Union Street. On each front is a band between the floors, a modillioned cornice, and the central part projects under a pediment. The doorway, on Union Street, has unfluted Doric columns, an inscribed frieze, and a cornice, above which is a decorated cast iron balcony. On the roof is a two-stage tower with open arches in the lower stage, and above is a dome with clock faces, a finial and a weathervane.
I don’t know whether this is a listed building or not but it is set in beautiful Kent countryside and has a plaque with the date 1854 on the end of the cottage. I am guessing but I think it is a holiday rental now.
Joseph Conrad the Polish born Russian writer, who served for 5 years in the French Merchant service and 10 years in the British merchant service was regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language, lived near here for some years until his death in 1924. There are memorials to him in Bishopsbourne.
His house Oswald’s cottage is listed. I don’t think I have the 2 mixed up!

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.
