Queen Victoria's front door at Osboune House on the Isle of Wight, now in the custodianship of English Heritage.
Robert Stephen Mallard (born 19th May 1992 in Manchester) has appeared as Daniel Osbourne in Coronation Street since November 2016. Mallard attended weekly drama classes between the ages of 12 and 17 and graduated from the Birmingham School of Acting with a First Class Honours in 2014. His other television credits include No Offence, Emmerdale and Fresh Meat. In February 2017, Mallard came out as gay, and in an interview expressed his concern as how viewers would react to his character falling in love with a female. In mid-2017 he entered a short-lived relationship with co-star Daniel Brocklebank.

In an unusual move, 8229 was used on 1115s/D116s Mobil oil train, seen passing through Osbourne. The 82 was taking a break from it's usual role on the Leigh Creek coalie for a visit to the Dry Creek wheel lathe.

In 1843 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were looking for a seaside retreat and the Osborne estate was recommended to them by the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel. The estate was initially leased, then bought in May 1845. As the existing house was too small Queen Victoria and Prince Albert commissioned the architect and master builder Thomas Cubitt to advise them. Cubitt recommended that rather than alter the old house it would be best to build a new one and proceeded to design it, in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo.in collaboration with Prince Albert.
The first phase of building was completed in 1846 with the Pavilion, housing the private rooms of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the royal nurseries. The household wing, containing accommodation for members of the royal household was completed in 1848. After the old house was demolished in 1848, the main wing was constructed on its site, completed in 1851. The main wing was used initially by the royal children. The terraces on the north-east side of the Pavilion and main wing were designed to complement the house and are filled with the signature features of classical Italian gardens. In 1880 a private chapel was built and in 1887 the male dormitory was extended to accommodate the Indian servants who made up part of the royal household during the later years of Queen Victoria’s reign. The Durbar Wing was built in 1890–92 which provided a large reception or dining room on the ground floor, known as the Durbar Room and a private suite for the queen’s youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice and her family on the first floor. Finally a dormitory for housemaids was built in 1894.
Following Queen Victoria’s death at Osbourne in 1901 the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. This was followed by a succession of short-term tenants. In 1954 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II gave permission for the public admitted to some of the rooms. In 1986 English Heritage assumed the management of Osborne and since then has carried out much external repair and internal redecoration and opened most of the main rooms.
Running through a bit of train photo drought so here’s this. My 2000 4Runner posed at the Osbourne Mountain overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This shot gives me the most satisfaction from this series. There was a massive amount of retouching taking out cars and parking meter. I was paid for this shot and the client was very pleased with result, I always give them the before and after to justify my cost.
As I am really enjoying Queen Victoria currently showing on Sunday night, thought would be an apt time to put one up of our Visit to Osborne House over the summer. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main façade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house, though the original entrance portico survives as the main gateway to the walled garden.

Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me."

I am just not good at taking pictures of people, but I LOVE this one... Kelly Osbourne asked to hold Cooper, and for a minute she just tuned out of the commotion of everything that was going on the backstage and just hugged him.
Kelly is very sweet, and we had a really nice conversation.
If you missed Cooper's rescue video, you can see it here:
