In 2010, a prohibition of the ownership and breeding of 13 specified dog breeds and cross-breeds hereof was introduced (including Pitt Bull Terrier and Tosa Inu and crossbreeds hereof which have been prohibited in Denmark since 1991.)
The prohibition of dog breeds has been evaluated during 2013. It was decided by the Danish Parliament that there will be no amendments to the prohibition based on the evaluation. The prohibition of specific dog breeds will therefore be maintained

The John Jameson and Son Irish Whiskey company was formally established in 1810 when John Jameson and his son (also John Jameson) took ownership of the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin which had originally been built by his wife's cousins the Steins in 1780. Jameson was a Scottish lawyer from Alloa in Clackmannanshire who had married Margaret Haig, a sister of the Haig brothers who owned the Haig distilleries. Margaret Haig was a first cousin of the Steins, a Scottish distilling family, also from Clackmannanshire, with significant distilling interests in Scotland and Dublin. On his marriage to Margaret Haig in 1786, John Jameson moved with his new wife to Dublin to manage the Stein's Bow Street Distillery (which had been established in 1780) for Margaret's Stein uncle. This explains the use of the year 1780 in Jameson marketing as the Bow Street Distillery was where Jameson Irish Whiskey was born. Portraits of John and Margaret Jameson by Sir Henry Raeburn are in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
Originally one of the six main Dublin Whiskeys, Jameson is now distilled in Cork. In 2013, annual sales topped 4.7 million cases (56.4 million bottles). Jameson is by far the best selling Irish whiskey in the world, as it has been sold internationally since the early 19th century. The United States is the largest market for Jameson Whiskey, with consumption during 2013 up by 12%. (Wikipedia)
I pass this beautifully maintained house on River Street every time I bike to downtown Kingston. Today I stopped to photograph it so I could share it. In the U.S. such houses are called duplex. Here in Canada we call them semi-detached.
Sometimes a single owner will purchase both sides and turn them into a single-family dwelling.

Possibly a recent ownership change and incredibly its been doing only about 20 - 100 miles a year! From February 2018, it started doing 2000 a year. And is now on only 33k! Anyways it was a treat to spot this early Metro in a nice colour too. I would of got a better picture but as i saw it parked up the owners were getting in and drove off.

The bridge connecting the island of Scalpay to Harris - officially opened in 1998 by then prime Minister Tony Blair. Since the bridge opened, population (approx 300) has declined, the local shop ceased trading in 2007 and the primary shool closed last year due to the lack of children. On a brighter note, the shop re-opened earlier this year as a community co-operative and the island's owner Fred Taylor proposes handing over ownership of the island to the local population. Islanders have been polled and a decision is expected soon.

It seems like it took me a while to go through this batch, and it looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. Yikes.
This male was in direct competition with another for ownership of this Olive grove all summer long this year. The resultant elevated aggression allowed for some rather good looks at what are normally pretty shy birds.

Power, ownership, intent, determination, this Leopard certainly possesses all these attributes. And whilst the brutal reality of life in the bush might not be to everyone's taste, the killing and eating of prey like this Impala, is an absolute necessity for the Leopard to survive. This Impala had been dead for at least two days, and had been hung in a tree, before the Leopard decided to move it to a safer location as the rising sun promised a very hot day ahead.
Dunham Massey is a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Cheshire, England.[1] The parish includes the villages of Sinderland Green, Dunham Woodhouse and Dunham Town, along with Dunham Massey Park, formerly the home of the last Earl of Stamford and owned by the National Trust since 1976. Dunham Massey was historically in the county of Cheshire, but since 1974 has been part of Trafford Metropolitan Borough; the nearest town is Altrincham. As of the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 475.[2]
Dunham Massey has a long history, as reflected in its 45 listed buildings. It was a locally important area during the medieval period, and acted as the seat for the Massey barony. The Georgian hall, with the remains of a castle in its grounds, is a popular tourist attraction. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Dunham Massey: Dunham Park, located south of Dunham Town, and Brookheys Covert.
History
The Chester to York Roman road passes between the settlements of Dunham Massey and Bowdon and today forms the boundary between the two places. The name Dunham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon dun, meaning hill. The Massey element of the name is a result of its ownership by the Massey Barons. The manor of Dunham is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having belonged to the Saxon thegn Aelfward before the Norman Conquest and to Hamo de Masci after. De Masci was an influential baron, who also had control over the manors of Baguley, Bowdon, Hale, Partington, and Timperley. The addition of "Massey" to the name Dunham reflects the manor's importance within the barony; Dunham was the seat of the Masseys. The importance of Dunham is further emphasised by the presence of two of de Massey’s castles: Dunham Castle and Watch Hill Castle on the border with Bowdon; a third, Ullerwood Castle, was near Hale. The Masseys remained barons of Dunham and its environs until the 14th century, when the line became extinct.[3][4]
The Booth family inherited most of the Massey lands in 1409, with Dunham Massey remaining at the heart of the estate; at the time, only four villages were in the Trafford area. By the Elizabeth period, Dunham Massey Castle had been demolished. Probably during the medieval period, Dunham Massey Hall became the home of the manorial lord, and a centre of power in the area. The hall was rebuilt in 1616, leaving no remains of the old medieval hall. The mill at Dunham was first documented in 1353, although the mill's present structure dates to the 1860s. It lies on the River Bollin, opposite Little Bollington. The first record of Dunham's deer park was also in 1353. The settlement of Dunham Woodhouse dates from the 15th century. During the medieval period, the primary source of employment in Dunham Massey was agriculture, mainly arable.
The Warrington and Stockport Railway was constructed through Dunham during 1853/54. Dunham Massey railway station served the area between 1854 and its closure in 1962. Dunham grew as a result, the population increasing by 57.5% between 1851 and 1881. Otherwise, the industrial revolution had little effect on Dunham Massey, and it remained a predominantly agricultural area.
Dunham Massey Hall
Dunham Massey Hall.
The present hall was initially built in 1616 by Sir George Booth, who was amongst the creations of Baronets by James I in 1611, but was later remodelled by John Norris for George, Earl of Stamford and Warrington between 1732 and 1740; it was also altered by John Hope towards the end of the 18th century and by Joseph Compton Hall between 1905 and 1908. The hall itself, the stables, and the carriage house of Dunham Massey are all Grade I listed buildings, three of six such buildings in Trafford.[5]
The site is moated and lies immediately west of the village of Dunham, with the deer park lying to the south. The hall was donated to the National Trust by the last Earl of Stamford, in 1976. The hall was used as a military hospital during the First World War. Inside is a collection of Huguenot silver, the carving The Crucifixion by 17th century wood carver Grinling Gibbons, and a white marble bust of the Emperor Hadrian; the head is antique, but the neck and shoulders are 18th century, it was probably acquired by the 5th Earl of Stamford. The collection of paintings in the hall include Allegory with Venus, Mars, Cupid and Time by Guercino; The Cascade at Terni by Louis Ducros; and portraits by William Beechey, Francis Cotes, Michael Dahl, A. R. Mengs, Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney, Enoch Seeman, and Zoffany. The 7th Earl of Stamford removed a selection of paintings to Enville Hall in the late 1850s, and it was not until the time of Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford that some were returned after sales in 1929 and 1931.[6] The deer park at Dunham Massey is the only medieval park in Trafford to survive to the present.[4] The hall and grounds are open to the public and are a popular tourist attraction, with over 115,000 visitors in 2007.
Governance
The civil parish parish of Dunham Massey was created in 1894, under the Local Government Act 1894, and has its own parish council. Dunham Massey became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in 1974 upon the borough's creation, but was previously in Bucklow Rural District. The village is part of the Bowdon electoral ward.[9][4] The councillors for the Bowdon ward are David Merrell, Paula Pearson, and Stephanie Poole, all members of the Conservative Party.[10] Dunham Massey is also a part of the Altrincham and Sale West constituency, and belongs to the North West England constituency of the European Parliament. Since the formation of the Altrincham and Sale West constituency in 1997, it has been represented in the House of Commons by the Conservative MP, Graham Brady. At the 2005 General Election, the Conservatives won with a majority of 7,159 and 46.4% of the vote. Labour won 30.3% of the vote, Liberal Democrats won 21.7%, and the United Kingdom Independence Party won 1.7%.
Geography
Dunham Massey lies to the east of Warburton, and to the west of Bowdon, with Altrincham approximately 2 miles (3 km) to the northeast. The landscape is generally flat, with some mossland. Dunham Park occupies 192.7 acres (780,000 m2) of the area. The Roman road running from Chester to York forms the boundary between Dunham and Bowdon. The River Bollin runs to the south, with the Bridgewater Canal running through the area. The local geology is lower keuper marl, with a ridge of sand and gravel running from Dunham to Warburton.
Demography
As of the 2001 UK census, Dunham Massey had a total population of 475. For every 100 females, there were 96.3 males. The average household size was 2.36.[2] Of those aged 16–74 in Dunham Massey, 42.0% had no academic qualifications or one GCSE, similar to the figures for all of Trafford (40.8%) and in England (45.5%).[12][13] According to the census, 0.01% were unemployed and 19.24% were economically inactive.[12] 17.89% of the population were under the age of 16, and 9.89% were aged 75 and over; the mean age of the residents of Dunham Massey was 43.71. 75.79% of residents described their health as 'good'.
Site of Special Scientific Interest
Brookheys Covert
Brookheys Covert is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Dunham Park Estate (grid reference SJ742904). The site is a semi-natural wood consisting mainly of ash, birch, and rowan, with a wetland habitat and several marl pits, which have flooded to form ponds. The reserve spans 5.8 acres (23,000 m2) and is managed by the Dunham Massey Estates. Brookheys Covert provides a habitat for many animals, including foxes, rabbits, squirrels, and 57 species of bird.[15][16]
Dunham Park
Dunham Park covers an area of 192.7 acres (780,000 m2) and is part of the Dunham Park Estate, run by the National Trust (grid reference SJ740870). The park is mostly “pasture-woodland or park-woodland” and has been since the Middle Ages. Many of the oak trees, which make up the larger part of the woodland, date back to the 17th century. Dunham Park is the only place in the northwest of England with such a concentration of old trees, and one of only a few remaining in England, making it a site of national importance. The park supports a range of animals, including fallow deer and over 500 species of insect.
Grade II listed buildings
Dunham Massey has many grade II listed buildings; among the most striking is the 18th century sandstone obelisk at the end of the north vista from Dunham Massey Hall. Tradition has it that it marks the burial site of a race horse.[18]
There are many listed residences in Dunham Massey, most of them dating from the 18th or early 19th century, and many of them featuring Flemish bond brickwork and slate roofs. They include: Dunham Massey Lodge, on Dunham Road;[19] Willow Cottage;[20] numbers 1 and 2 Barns Lane;[21] number 1 Orchard View;[22] The Hollies, on Station Road;[23] numbers 1, 3 and 4 Woodhouse Lane;[24] Big Tree Cottages, on Woodhouse Lane.[25] Agden View, also on Woodhouse Lane, dates from 1725 and has both garden wall bond and Flemish bond brickwork.[26] Big Tree House, on Charcoal Road, dates from the mid-18th century and features English bond brickwork.[27] Yew Tree Cottage and Lime Tree Cottage are also on Charcoal Lane; both houses date to the 17th century and exhibit garden wall bond brickwork with slate roofs.[28] Ivy House, on Woodhouse Lane, was built in the early 18th century.[29] Kitchen Garden cottage was built in 1702.[30] Rose Cottage and Farm Cottage are late 18th or early 19th century.[31] The Meadows, on School Lane, was built in the 17th century and features garden wall bond brickwork and a thatched roof.[32]
The farm buildings of Home Farm, including its dovecote, were built in the early 19th century, and feature Flemish bond brickwork.[33][34] Sinderland House, also dating from the early 19th century, is another of Dunham Massey's listed farmhouses.[35] Manor Farmhouse, on Station Road, was built by George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington; the building dates from the mid-18th century and features both Flemish and garden wall bond brickwork.[36] The farmhouse on Station Road was built in 1752.[37] The barn on Woodhouse Lane dates from the early 18th century and features garden wall bond brickwork, a slate roof, and upper cruck frames.[38] Dog Farmhouse, also on Woodhouse Lane, was built in the early 19th century; however it may have been an adaptation of an earlier, possibly 18th century, farmhouse.[39]
Dunham School was built in 1759, with additions in 1860 and the 20th century. Above the door is an engraved panel reading “This School was Erected in 1759 For the Benefit of the Township of Dunham Massey. According to the Will of Thomas Walton Gent”. The school now serves as the parish hall.[40] The nearby Dunham School Bridge, over the Bridgewater Canal, was built in 1776 by John Gilbert,[41] who also built the aqueduct for the Bridgewater Canal over the River Bollin, which was opened in 1776.[42] The other listed bridge, Brick Kiln Lane Bridge, was also built in the 18th century.[43] Bollington watermill was constructed in the 1860s, and has an undershot waterwheel.[44]
There are a number of listed structures in the grounds of Dunham Massey Hall, including the 1720 wellhouse that supplied water to the hall until the 1860s,[45] and the early 18th century ornamental sundial in front of the hall, depicting a black slave clad in leaves, carrying the sundial above his head.[46] The stable buildings,[47] the slaughterhouse,[48] the deer house,[49] the orangery,[50] and an ashlar shelter to the west of the hall,[51] all date from the 17th or 18th century. Barn Cottages date from at least 1751. The cottages were originally a single barn, which was converted in the 19th century.[52] Other grade II listed structures in the grounds of the hall include: the lakeside wall (18th century);[53] two small piers south of the garden forecourt (18th century);[54] a pier north west of the garden forecourt (18th century);[55] the gateway opposite the kitchen (1750);[56] the piers at the south of forecourt garden topped with lions (18th century);[57][58] and an obelisk erected by George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington, in 1714 in memory of his mother.[59] Near the hall there is a Grade II* listed sawmill, probably built in 1616.[

A couple of dogs are among the bystanders greeting the arrival of former East Yorkshire Motor Services 644 (VKH44) at the Ferensway car park. Its destination indicator is set for the East Coast Run itinerary - a route that the bus would have often taken in its EYMS service life.
The 1956-vintage AEC Regent V with Willowbrook Beverley Bar bodywork had only just been withdrawn by EYMS and was newly into private preservation ownership. Some years later, EYMS are-acquired the vehicle to form part of its heritage fleet.
Oxen Hoath manor house dates from the C16 and in 1621, when in the ownership of Thomas Choune, a survey was made which shows the house approached via a grand gateway to the west. By 1719 the property had passed into the ownership of Leonard Bartholomew and was illustrated by Badeslade who records a multi-gabled house standing in a formal setting approached via a double avenue to the south (Badeslade 1719, published 1750s). The house and grounds were again remodelled at the end of the C18 when the architect John Meadows was commissioned by the then owner Sir William Geary to update the mansion. A contemporary engraving by W Green, from a painting by J G Wood (see Hall 1993) shows the Georgian house in an informal setting of sweeping grass lawns. The property remained in the Geary family into the C19 and in c 1846 Sir William R P Geary brought in Anthony Salvin (1799-1881) to restyle the house in the French fashion, and William Andrews Nesfield (1793-1881) to lay out a formal garden. One of Nesfield's plans for a parterre and rosarium, signed and dated 1847, has survived; this shows that the southern part of the gardens survives almost unchanged today (2001). In the C20 the estate was sold into divided private ownership.
DESCRIPTION
LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING Oxen Hoath occupies a rural location c 7km north-east of Tonbridge and c 15km south-west of Maidstone. The c 110ha site is bounded to the east by farmland, to the south-west by Carpenters Lane, to the west by Oxenhoath Road, and to the north by farmland and woodland where the northern tip of the site meets Gover Hill. The ground falls significantly from north to south, the house standing on the dip-slope of the greensand ridge overlooking the Weald of Kent.
ENTRANCES AND APPROACHES The house can be approached from all the main boundaries. From the north, a drive leads from Gover Hill, past a lodge, down the track of an old avenue, formerly planted with a double row of Cornish elms and terminating with a row of ancient limes, concluding with a gateway flanked by stone gate piers (listed grade II) c 100m north-west of the house. The eastern drive commences at East Lodge, on the corner of Forge Lane and Matthews Lane c 700m north-east of the house, and runs west between newly planted (late C20) walnuts, replacing a double row of limes lost in the 1987 storm. The present (2001) main approach is from the west, the drive branching off from Oxenhoath Road at the mid C19 West Lodge (listed grade II), c 400m south-west of the house, leading to C18 gate piers (listed grade II) at the commencement of the Cedar Avenue where the latter bends north to meet the north drive before crossing undulating lawn, edged by a bank planted with shrubs and specimen trees and bordered by mature planes and limes, to the west front of the house. From the bend in Cedar Avenue the track of the old south drive descends across the park and the lower flat fields towards Hadlow, ending at the junction of Carpenters Lane and Common Road. The Cedar Avenue is flanked by a series of iron gates of a variety of dates and provenance. The elaborate wrought-iron gates and overthrow (listed grade II) to the main entrance leading to the west front are said to have been bought in the late C18 by Sir William Geary from the pre-fire Palace of Westminster.
PRINCIPAL BUILDING Oxen Hoath (listed grade II*) is a large country house built of coursed rubble stone under a hipped slate roof. The three-storey building has central projecting bays on the west front with a central arched doorway and balcony above. The garden front to the south has eight bays with a bay tower on the south-east corner and a one-storey billiard room extension to the east, added by Burn and McVicar Anderson in 1878. The house contains remains of a late C16 building on a site that had been occupied earlier. It was extensively remodelled after 1757 and again in c 1846 by Anthony Salvin.
Some 100m to the south-west of Oxen Hoath stands the Dower House (listed grade II), a red-brick and tile building of C17 origin, possibly part of the outbuildings associated with the early C17 main house.
GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS The gardens at Oxen Hoath lie to the west and south of the house. The south gardens occupy the site of the early C18 walled enclosures although these had been removed some time before the mid C19 gardens were laid out. Grass terraces lead south down to a formal parterre which retains much of the planting and decoration given it by William Andrews Nesfield in the late 1840s, as well as the original basic design with scrollwork beds outlined with cast-stone kerbing originally set in white gravel and red-brick dust. There are further urns of cast stone on the parterre and adjacent principal paths, and the upper terraces to the east of the parterre support yew topiary. The southern end of the top terrace is extended southwards as a viewing bastion. While the two Yucca gloriosa flanking the main north/south axis of the parterre design have survived, as have the clipped yews, the row of standard rhododendron set in white pebbles which ran along the west and east sides of the main gardens have gone (Hall 1993). The low, stone retaining south wall dividing the gardens from the park continues to the east, separating the formal gardens from the C20 tennis courts and an extension of the pleasure ground, in the south-east corner of which stands a hexagonal thatched summerhouse.
The terrace walk below the south front of the house extends east, up a flight of steps, past a plane tree which appears to pre-date the mid C19 layout of the gardens, to a wrought-iron gate set in an C18 ornamental stone gateway (listed grade II) through the eastern wall. Immediately to the east of the house, and north of this cross-walk, was the site of Nesfield's rosarium, largely removed when the billiard room was built in 1878, leaving only Nesfield's bordering terraces and walls.
The walk along the south side of the parterre continues westwards between mature plane and lime, forming a link with the Dower House, the Cedar Avenue, and the avenue to the kitchen garden beyond. Flanking this south walk is a short formal avenue of juniper and round-headed clipped yews, surrounded by informally planted specimen trees and shrubs. The gates (listed grade II) to the south of the Dower House, leading from the south garden, are reputed to have come from Eltham Palace (qv) and are of late C17 or early C18 date.
On the west side of the Cedar Avenue the path, ornamented with round-headed clipped standard Portugal laurels and recently planted with Irish pyramid juniper, continues on a stone causeway to the cast-iron gate, the 'Auvergne Gate'. It bears the monogram of Sir William Geary, and was brought from France in the 1920s to be hung within an ornamental surround at the entrance to the kitchen garden. Through the gate is a stone-walled enclosure, laid out as a flower garden which is divided off from the main walled area. To the north of the stone causeway walk lies the Dell Garden, planted up as an informal pleasure ground in the C19. To the west of the entrance to the Dell Garden is a further wrought-iron gateway (listed grade II) of mixed origin.
In the Badeslade engraving of 1719 (Badeslade 1750s) the area below the west front, now (2001) occupied by lawns and shrubs, is shown as two walled gardens. A stone table top, dated 1724, which stands on a knoll seems to be a relic from the banqueting house illustrated by Badeslade. The table top bears a Latin inscription which, translated, reads: 'For wine sometimes, for friendship always'. A gate through a balustraded wall along the south side of the west front provides access to the main formal gardens below the south front.
PARK The park lies to the north, east, and south of the house, the major area being that to the south, stretching down as far as Carpenters Lane. Forming part of the view from the south front is the serpentine lake, located c 300m south of the house, which runs from west to east across the centre of the south park and is crossed in the centre by a stone bridge. The lake was formed from an existing oval-shaped canal shown on a plan of 1750, enlarged at some point during the later C18, and the house is designed to make full use of the views. The great gothic folly of Hadlow Tower forms an eyecatcher in the distant rural landscape.
KITCHEN GARDEN The brick-walled C18 kitchen garden lies c 300m south-west of the house. It has a central pool and whitewash on the walls indicates the position of glass ranges, only a small portion of which survive. The main orchard area is outside the wall to the south.

Deutschland / Baden-Württemberg - Meersburg
Oberstadt - Schloßplatz
Meersburg (German: [ˈmeːɐ̯sˌbʊʁk]) is a town in Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany. It is on Lake Constance.
It is known for its medieval city. The lower town ("Unterstadt") and upper town ("Oberstadt") are reserved for pedestrians only, and connected by two stairways and a steep street ("Steigstrasse").
History
The name of the town means "Castle on the Sea", referring to a castle which, according to a tradition from 1548, was built here in 630 by the Merovingian king Dagobert I.
The commune obtained the status of free city in 1299, though nominally still under the Bishop of Constance. In 1803 it was annexed to the Land of Baden.
After World War II, Meersburg was in the French military occupation area in Germany.
Main sights
The town is home to two castles, the Old Castle and the New Castle. The Old Castle, built by Merovingian King Dagobert I in the seventh century, is one of the oldest surviving castles in Germany. It is in private ownership. A self-guided tour is available. German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived there for eight years and purchased the Prince's House. The New Castle was built in the eighteenth century. Originally the residence of the bishop of Constance, it was used for various purposes after the Secularization of 1803. It is now a museum. There is also an expanse of half-timbered houses, and two medieval town gates, which are the remains of the fortification.
Transport
Meersburg is the northern terminus of a car ferry service to Constance. On the opposite side Meersburg is connected to the region by the B 31, a major road that leads from Breisach (on the French border) to Lindau (on the Austrian border), largely bypassing all parts of Meersburg. To exit to Meersburg and to get to the car ferry, one takes B 33 to Meersburg and Constance.
Meersburg is also reachable by pleasure boat services from Lake Constance to Überlingen (to the west), to Lindau, Bregenz (to the east) and to Constance opposite.
Viticulture
The Meersburg vineyards at the northern banks of Lake Constance are famous within Germany. The rosée "Weissherbst" wine is a specialty of the region.

Meersburg ist eine Kleinstadt im baden-württembergischen Bodenseekreis. Sie liegt zwischen Friedrichshafen und Überlingen.
Geographische Lage
Meersburg liegt am nördlichen Ufer des Bodensees, am Übergang vom Obersee zum Überlinger See auf einer Höhe von 400 bis 500 Metern. Allein zwischen Unter- und Oberstadt besteht ein Höhenunterschied von 40 Metern.
Geschichte
Die Burg Meersburg geht vielleicht auf eine merowingische Befestigung am Fähr-Übergang der wichtigen Straßenverbindung von Oberschwaben über Konstanz nach Rätien zurück. Die Königsburg, zu der vermutlich bereits eine kleine Siedlung gehörte, war seit der Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts in der Hand von königlichen Lehnsträgern, die sich nach ihr nannten, und ging dann in den Besitz der Bischöfe von Konstanz über, die es als Lehen an die Grafen von Rohrdorf ausgaben. Aus dieser Zeit stammen wohl auch die ältesten erhaltenen Teile des Baus. 1071 wurde Mersburg urkundlich erwähnt; 1113 der adelige Liopoldus de Merdespurch, 1142 Mercesburc.
Fürstbischöfliche Zeit
Nach dem Aussterben der Grafen 1210 blieben Burg und Siedlung von 1211 bis 1802 im unmittelbaren Besitz des Bischofs. Der 1268 in Neapel hingerichtete letzte Stauferkönig Konradin hatte zuvor mehrere Jahre in der Burg Meersburg seines Onkels, des Bischofs von Konstanz, verbracht.
Die Siedlung entwickelte sich zunächst vor allem oberhalb der Burg, im Bereich der späteren Oberstadt, die 1233 Marktrecht, vor 1260 eine Mauer und 1299 unter dem Konstanzer Bischof Heinrich von Klingenberg das Stadtrecht nach Ulmer Vorbild erhielt. Im selben Jahr wurde die unterhalb der Burg gelegene Siedlung am Seeufer durch Aufschüttung erweitert, so dass Raum für einen großen Marktplatz und für die Erweiterung der Siedlung zur Unterstadt entstand.
Bei der Wahl eines neuen Bischofs wollten Domkapitel und Kaiser unterschiedliche Personen mit dem Amt betrauen. Während der „Bischofsfehde“ im Jahr 1334 wurde die Stadt vom Reichsheer des Kaisers Ludwig der Bayer mit Feuergeschützen erfolglos belagert.
Auseinandersetzungen der Bürgerschaft mit dem Stadtherren Bischof Heinrich IV. von Hewen um die freiere Ausgestaltung der Stadtverfassung durch „Stadtrechtskämpfe“ endeten 1458 mit der Rückkehr des Bischofs auf die Burg und der Niederlage der Bürger. Der Bürgermeister Simon Weinzürn wurde als Wortführer des Protestes 1461 ohne richterliches Urteil im Bodensee ertränkt.[8] Ein Konstanzer Chronist schildert die Tötung Weinzürns so:
„Da sich kein Nachrichter fand, der ihn ohne richterliches Urteil hinrichten wollte, führte man ihn in einem Schiff hinaus auf den See. Hier musste er sich außerhalb des Schiffs auf ein (über den Bordrand gelegtes) Brett setzen, während der bischöfliche Vogt sich innerhalb setzte. An tiefer Stelle angelangt, stand der letzterer dann auf und der letzte fiel mit dem Brett in den See und ertrank.“
– Beschreibung des Christoph Schulthaiss († 1584) in der Konstanzer Chronik über die Ermordung von Simon Weinzürn, übersetzt ins Hochdeutsche. Sekundärquelle Internetseite Meersburg[9]
Das Amt des Bürgermeisters von Meersburg wurde abgeschafft. Simon Weinzürn war der erste Bewohner des heute Hotel Weinstube Löwen genannten Gebäudes am Marktplatz.
1509 wurde das Alte Schloss ausgebaut und in der Unterstadt der Getreidespeicher („Gredhaus“) sowie der Hafen gebaut.
Fürstbischöfliche Residenzstadt
Im Jahr 1526 siedelte der bischöfliche Hof des Bischofs Hugo von Hohenlandenberg ins Alte Schloss von Meersburg über, weil sich Konstanz als Freie Reichsstadt 1519/1523 der Reformation angeschlossen hatte. Meersburg hingegen lag im Territorium des Hochstifts Konstanz, wo die Fürstbischöfe zugleich Landesherren waren und die weltliche Macht ausübten. So fand am 10. Mai 1527 auch der Prozess gegen den evangelisch gesinnten Sernatinger Frühmessner (Pfarrer) Johann Hüglin in Meersburg statt, ebenso dessen anschließende Hinrichtung. Meersburg blieb weiterhin bischöfliche Residenz, als Konstanz wieder katholisch wurde. 1575 wurde das Amt des Bürgermeisters in Meersburg wieder eingeführt. Die Pestepidemien des 16. Jahrhunderts im Bodenseeraum erfassten in den Jahren 1529, 1575, 1588, 1595 und 1611/12 auch Meersburg.
Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg von 1618 bis 1648 plünderten Schweden und Württemberger Meersburg (siehe Seekrieg auf dem Bodensee 1632–1648). Durch die Pest in den Jahren 1635/36 und 1646 schrumpfte die Meersburger Bevölkerung auf ein Sechstel. An diese Zeit erinnert der Fasnachtsbrauch des „Schnabelgiere“ sowie die „Gesellschaft der Hundertein Bürger“. Ein Gedenkstein an Kaspar Miller, den Meersburger Pestarzt, der selber an der Pest starb befindet sich an der Ostseite der Stadtkirche.
Die Burg Meersburg war bis zur Fertigstellung des Neuen Schlosses 1750 ständiger Wohnsitz des Konstanzer Bischofs. Vor allem das 18. Jahrhundert prägte mit dem Bau aus Neuem Schloss (ab 1710–1712), Priesterseminar (1725/29–34) und Reit- oder Stallhof (um 1760) das barocke Panorama Meersburgs am Steilufer zum Bodensee („Seefassade auf dem Meersburger Höhenrücken“).
Kardinal Franz Konrad von Rodt und sein Nachfolger (und Bruder) Maximilian Christoph von Rodt residierten bereits im Neuen Schloss. Im Herbst 1802 besetzten zwei markgräfliche Kommissare mit 100 Mann eines Rastatter Füsilierbataillons Meersburg. Durch Anschlag wurde verkündet, dass Markgraf Karl von Baden nun zuständig sei. Der Konstanzer Fürstbischof Karl Theodor von Dalberg in Konstanz wurde zwei Wochen vorher in Kenntnis gesetzt. Meersburg blieb Residenz des Bischofs bis zur Aufhebung des Bistums 1803.
Thomas Warndorf weist darauf hin, dass die amtierenden Fürstbischöfe sich durch die Familiensitze ihrer Vorfahren, durch Sommersitze, durch die Konstanzer kirchlichen Einrichtungen, durch die weiteren Besitztümer im Hochstift Konstanz sowie durch finanzielle Engpässe nicht dauerhaft in Meersburg aufhielten.
Badische Zeit
Bedeutungsverlust
Nach Auflösung des Hochstiftes Konstanz und dem Übergang an Baden im Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 war Meersburg nur noch bis 1807 Hauptstadt des Oberen Fürstentums am See, 1803 bis 1857 Hauptort des Amtsbezirks Meersburg und 1814 bis 1836 Sitz des Hofgerichts des badischen Seekreises (in der Burg).
Das Alte Schloss wurde 1838 durch den Freiherr Joseph von Laßberg vom Land Baden erworben und so vor dem Abriss bewahrt. Er bewahrte dort seine berühmte Bibliothek mittelalterlicher Schriften auf, die nach seinem Tod zur fürstlichen Hofbibliothek Donaueschingen kam. Von Laßberg und seine Frau Jenny von Droste zu Hülshoff beherbergten im Alten Schloss viele namhafte Gäste, darunter vor allem die jüngere Schwester seiner Frau, die Dichterin Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, die dort am 24. Mai 1848 nach längerem Aufenthalt starb, sowie Ludwig Uhland, Gustav Schwab und Justinus Kerner. Heute beherbergt die Burg ein Museum mit spätgotischen und barock stuckierten Innenräumen und einer im 20. Jahrhundert zusammengetragenen Einrichtung. Sie gilt als „älteste, vollständig erhaltene und bewohnte Burg Deutschlands“.
Das Fürstenhäusle, ein ehemaliges, um 1600 erbautes Rebhaus, gehörte Annette von Droste-Hülshoff von 1843 bis 1848, diente deren Verwandten bis Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Wohnsitz und wurde als Droste-Gedenkstätte Eigentum des Landes Baden-Württemberg. Es befindet sich wenige Schritte vom Obertor in den Weinbergen.
Badische Revolution 1848/1849
In Meersburg fanden die Forderungen der Badischen Revolution von 1848/1849 Gehör. Es gab am 2. April 1848 eine Meersburger Volksversammlung. Vier Wahlmänner wurden zur Ernennung der Mitglieder der Deutschen Volksversammlung am 10. April 1848 entsandt. Wenige Meersburger Bürger beteiligten sich am Heckerzug von Konstanz aus. Die politischen Forderungen wurden von den Meersburger Bürgern ohne Gewalt vertreten. Die Großherzogliche Regierung wurde nach der Niederlage der Badischen Revolution wieder eingesetzt. Als Strafen für die revolutionären Teilnehmer wurden Vermögensstrafen und auch eine Amtsenthebung und Zuchthausstrafe für den Bürgermeister ausgesprochen.
Teilabriss der Stadttore
Das Neue Schloss fiel bei der Säkularisation an Baden und wurde danach an den Badischen Staat verkauft. 1865–1937 beherbergte es die Taubstummenanstalt zuerst für Baden, ab 1874 für Südbaden.
Teile der Stadtbefestigung wurden 1820 bis 1845 abgerissen. Der Hafen wurde 1851/1852 für Dampfschiffe ausgebaggert und mit Molen geschützt.
Meersburg büßte nach der Säkularisation durch den Wegzug der Ämter (Hofgericht im Jahr 1836, Bezirksprobstei im Jahr 1842, Großherzoglich Badisches Bezirksamt im Jahr 1857) an Bedeutung ein. Die Bewohner lebten nun von Landwirtschaft, Weinbau, Handwerk und Gewerbe.
Erwerbszweig Fremdenverkehr
Der Fremdenverkehr als Einnahmequelle kam Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts hinzu als Folge der Gründerzeit und der verkehrstechnischen Erschließung des Bodenseeraumes durch Bahn und Dampfschiffe. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs nahm der Fremdenverkehr weiter zu. Ab 1919 entwickelte der Meersburger Bürgermeister Karl Moll ein Fremdenverkehrskonzept, das Meersburg zu einer neuen Infrastruktur verhalf und die Altstadt touristenfreundlich machte.
Bereits 1870 war die Seepromenade ausgebaut worden, 1921 wurde die Altstadt elektrifiziert, 1926 das Seepumpwerk in Betrieb genommen, 1926/27 die Stadt kanalisiert und asphaltiert, 1929 Meersburg als Hafen für die Autofähre nach Konstanz provisorisch in Betrieb genommen und 1933/34 das Strandbad gebaut und eröffnet.
Georg Elser, der 1939 ein Attentat auf Adolf Hitler ausführte, arbeitete von 1930 bis 1932 in Meersburg in der Nachfolgefirma der in Konkurs gegangenen Konstanzer Uhrenfabrik für den Uhrenfabrikanten Rothmund. Nach dem Konkurs von Rothmund musste Elser seine Wohnung in Konstanz aus finanziellen Gründen aufgeben. Er fand eine Unterkunft in Meersburg Am Stadtgraben. und arbeitete (z. B. Uhrenreparaturen, Schreinerarbeiten) gegen Kost und Logis.
Zeit des Nationalsozialismus
Erst 1937 wurde das angeborene sowie das erkaufte „Bürgerrecht“, das zum Wählen berechtigte, abgeschafft. Auch in Meersburg wurde der Alltag durch nationalsozialistische Organisationen (zum Beispiel Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, Hitlerjugend, Bund Deutscher Mädel, NS-Frauenschaft) beeinflusst und überwacht. Kriegsgefangene polnische Zwangsarbeiter waren bis 1941 im Reithof der Domäne untergebracht. Zeitzeugen haben von einem Kriegsgefangenenlager in den Baracken im Sommertal berichtet, wo nach Kriegsende Flüchtlinge untergebracht wurden. In Meersburg herrschte während des Zweiten Weltkriegs immer Wohnungs- und Lebensmittelknappheit, weil eine Reichsfinanzschule eingerichtet wurde, die Rüstungsfabrik Kälte in der Hämmerlefabrik einzog sowie Zwangseinquartierungen für Wehrmacht, Kinderlandverschickung, Ausgebombte und Evakuierte vorgenommen wurden. Gegen Ende des Krieges versuchten mit dem Zurückweichen der deutschen Truppen Firmen, Wehrmachtsstellen und Behörden in Meersburg unterzukommen. Ab Mitte April 1945 wurde der Schiffsverkehr, am 26. April 1945 der Fährbetrieb zwischen Meersburg und Konstanz-Staad eingestellt (Näheres hier). Meersburg wurde mit Panzersperren verbarrikadiert. Die am 29. April 1945 anrückenden Panzer der Franzosen wurden beschossen. Nur weil die Franzosen die Barrikaden über einen Waldweg (Gehautobel, Hirtlehöhe) umgehen konnten, blieb Meersburg vor der Zerstörung bewahrt.
Meersburg im Land Baden-Württemberg
Von 1972 bis 1978 wurde Meersburg an eine Gemeinschaftskläranlage angeschlossen, in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden Umgehungsstraßen (Töbelestraße, B 31-Ortsumgehung) und Großparkplätze angelegt, die Altstadt unter Denkmalschutz gestellt und saniert, die Infrastruktur verbessert (Kindergarten, Schule, Seglerhafen, Therme) und die kulturelle Ausstrahlung verstärkt (Kulturamt, Knabenmusik, Städtische Galerie, Droste-Preis, internationale Konzerte). Meersburg ist heute beliebtes Ausflugsziel.
Tourismus
Durch die günstige Erreichbarkeit per Schiff und Pkw und durch die besonders idyllische Lage zieht Meersburg mit seinen teilweise überregional bekannten Restaurants und Weinstuben in der Urlaubssaison ungefähr eine Million Tagesausflügler an. Den 250.000 Übernachtungsgästen pro Saison stehen zahlreiche Hotels, Pensionen, Gasthöfe, Ferienwohnungen und Privatzimmer zur Verfügung. Meersburg besitzt das Prädikat „Erholungsort“.
Meersburg gehört zum alemannischen Sprachraum.
Meersburg als Filmkulisse
Meersburg war mit seinem Stadtbild bisher (Stand 2015) Kulisse von 36 Spiel- und 114 Dokumentationsfilmen.
Im Herbst 1933 wurde der Film Elisabeth und der Narr, Originaltitel Elisabeth. Die weiße Schwester von St. Veith, in der Hauptrolle mit Hertha Thiele in der Regie von Thea von Harbou vor der Kulisse von Meersburg gedreht. Marktplatz, Schloss, Mühle, Bärenbrunnen, Kirchgasse (heute Winzergasse), Steigstraße und die Weinberge werden hier im Erhaltungszustand von 1933 gezeigt.
In den Jahren 1935 bis 1945 wurden sechs Filme gedreht. Darunter waren drei nationalsozialistisch geprägte Filme, die bis heute gesperrt sind.
1949 wurde Manege frei (Au revoir, Monsieur Grock), eine Filmbiografie über den Schweizer Clown Grock, in Meersburg gedreht. Regie führte bei dieser deutsch-französischen Produktion Pierre Billon.
1953 wurde der Kult-Heimatfilm Briefträger Müller mit Heinz Rühmann teilweise in Meersburg gedreht mit der historische Oberstadt als Kulisse.
1956 wurde Die Fischerin vom Bodensee mit Marianne Hold und Gerhard Riedmann in Meersburg gedreht und Trachtenhauben sowie historische Gebäude Meersburgs im Erhaltungszustand von 1956 dokumentiert.
1973 wurde der Kult-Musikfilm Alter Kahn und junge Liebe gedreht, in dem Roy Black und weitere Künstler vor Kulissen des Marktplatzes in Meersburg, des Obertors, der Häfen der Unterstadt sowie des Rheins heimatliche und besinnliche Lieder singen.
2003 wurden Teile des Films Schwabenkinder vor der ins Aussehen des 19. Jahrhunderts versetzten Kulisse der Meersburger Altstadt gedreht.

This substantial, two-storeyed brick residence was erected in 1902-03 for John Lamb, co-proprietor of the successful Queen Street drapery establishment of Edwards & Lamb, and a businessman with enlightened attitudes toward his employees. Named ‘Home’, (also known as Lamb House) the house has remained in the sole ownership of the Lamb family since its construction. Designed by eminent architect Alexander B Wilson, the residence embraced the Federation Queen Anne style and is recognised as one of Wilson’s greatest domestic works.
Kangaroo Point, originally part of the land of the Jagera and Turrbul people, was one of the earliest localities used for colonial purposes following the establishment of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs were quarried for their Brisbane tuff, used in building works for the colony, and the area was farmed from 1837. Following the opening of the colony for free settlement in the 1840s, land along the peninsula was offered for sale. Industry and shipping was established along the river front, with modest working-class dwellings dotting the lower-lying areas. By the 1850s, the higher land at Kangaroo Point was attracting wealthy residents who erected substantial homes overlooking the Brisbane River.
The highest part of Kangaroo Point was River Terrace, running atop the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. By 1875 the terrace was recognised as ‘beauteous… with its unrivalled coup d’oeil of the great city’, and recommended to visitors for sightseeing. Subdivisions along the east side of the terrace were offered for sale from the 1850s, but the western side was reserved for public purposes, providing a dramatic clifftop promenade between the Kangaroo Point State School and St Mary’s church, at the Main Street intersection, and Leopard Street, a continuation of River Terrace.
By the turn of the 20th century Kangaroo Point was a highly appealing residential area, both for its quiet, leafy nature and for its proximity to the city, with ferry and bus services linking the area to the central business district. In 1901, a parcel of eight undeveloped subdivisions on Leopard and Wild streets, at the highest elevation overlooking the Gardens Point, were sold by the mortgagee. The subdivisions surrounded an older residence, ‘Rockfield’, built on the corner of Leopard and Wild streets, circa 1890, for Captain Daniel McGregor. The undeveloped sites had first been offered for sale in October 1852 and granted to John McCabe in 1855. They were transferred to land agent GT Lang in 1882, before they were purchased in August 1901 by John Lamb.
English-born John Lamb and his business partner to-be Thomas Edwards arrived in Australia on the ship Cuzco in 1881. After settling briefly in New South Wales, they established a drapery and clothier business in Brisbane’s premier shopping district, Queen Street, in 1884. Edwards and Lamb was one of a number of locally-established drapery firms opened between the 1860s and 1890s, which were the forerunners of Brisbane’s major department stores. By 1888, Edwards and Lamb had made ‘such rapid strides that… it is one of the representative mercantile house of the kind in the colony.’ The firm openly supported workers’ rights, and was actively engaged in the Early Closing Association movement, which campaigned for shorter working hours for retail workers. The movement’s first chair and secretary were both recruited from Edwards and Lamb, and in the 1890s the firm employed Frank McDonnell as a manager-cum-union organiser until McDonnell’s elevation to Queensland Parliament in 1896. This was quickly followed by the passage of the Factories and Shops Act 1896, and the introduction of early closing in its 1900 replacement. McDonnell credited Edwards and Lamb for his success.
Following the death of Thomas Edwards in 1897, John Lamb purchased Edwards’ share in the business, and continued it on his own. In 1899, Lamb married Sarah Jeane Stephens in Maryborough, and by 1901 the couple had two children, with a third due in 1902. With his family growing, and his business on firm footing, Lamb purchased the Kangaroo Point sites and moved into temporary accommodation in Leopard Street, pending the construction of a new family residence.
Lamb’s timing coincided with a period of steady residential growth in Brisbane. The city had suffered in the 1890s from the combined effects of an economic depression and extensive flooding, and commissions for substantial houses had fallen off. By 1900, the economy was recovering, and businessmen and retailers engaged Brisbane’s prominent architects to design a number of large residences in the inner-city and suburban areas, from Waterton, at Chelmer, circa 1900, for insurance agent Thomas Beevor Steele (architect unknown) (QHR 602340); Drysllwyn, in Auchenflower, c1905, by architect Claude William Chambers, for mining entrepreneur William Davies (QHR 600051); Endrim, at Toowong, 1906, by unknown architect, for tram company director JS Badger (QHR 650071); Turrawan, at Clayfield, 1906, by Hall and Dods, for doctor Arthur Halford (combined surgery/house)(QHR 602452); Cremorne, at Hamilton, circa 1906, by Eaton and Bates, for publican James O'Connor (QHR 600218); Feniton, at New Farm, 1906, by RS Dods, for the Trude family (QHR 650078); to Weemalla, at Corinda, 1909, by RS Dods, for insurance company manager RM Steele (QHR 602820).
Lamb engaged architect Alexander Brown Wilson to design his new Kangaroo Point house. Wilson was by then a well-established Brisbane architect, having commenced work with the Queensland Public Works Department in 1875 at the age of 16. From 1882 he was employed as architect FDG Stanley’s principal draftsman, before beginning his architectural training in Brisbane and Europe. He became the first Queensland-trained associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects, returning to Brisbane to open his own architectural practice in 1884. He also helped found the Queensland Institute of Architects in 1888, and served four terms as its president. Wilson’s practice quickly developed into a substantial firm, particularly renowned for its church and domestic designs. Prominent examples of Wilson’s domestic work survive in Brisbane, including Leckhampton (1890, QHR 600246), Kinauld (1888, QHR 600225) and Como (1890, QHR 601474), but his most recognised domestic work was his design for John Lamb.
In designing Lamb’s house, Wilson put his personal interpretation on the Queen Anne style. Imported from Britain and the United States, Federation ‘Queen Anne’ was the dominant style in Australian domestic architecture for substantial houses at the turn of the 20th century. Popularised by the influential British architect Richard Norman Shaw, who in the 1870s began designing country houses in an eclectic style combining elements from many periods of traditional English rural building, the style was labelled ‘Queen Anne’ after it became popular in America. In Australia, the style was characterised by: red facebrick walls, often with contrasting white painted ornamentation or timber joinery; complex roof forms with towers and multiple gables; Tudor-style half-timber panelling in gable ends; tall brick chimneys; terracotta detailing; and picturesque asymmetry. Roofs were often French Marseilles tile with a detailed ridge or apex. Verandahs featured ornamental posts, brackets, balustrades and valances. Patterns in leadlight windows, doors and fanlights tended to echo the free curves found in nature as the influence of Art Nouveau on the Queen Anne design became increasingly apparent after the 1900s. Although not as popular or extensively used as in Victoria and New South Wales, the Federation Queen Anne style spread to Queensland and was incorporated into designs from the 1890s until the 1940s. In Queensland the style was often applied to traditional timber houses, influencing their roof forms, timber verandah detailing and other ornamentation.
Notable Queen Anne features of the Lamb residence include its red brick composition, terracotta shingle tiles, chimney post, turned timber posts, gables of suggested half-timbering and Classical motifs on the three-storey tower.
Wilson drew plans for Lamb’s house, and a specification was detailed in September 1901. Wilson’s design for the residence set out a ground and first floor, with a protruding observation tower. It was of brick construction, with a tiled roof featuring half-timbered detailing to gable-ends; and a concrete-finished entrance porch aligned vertically with the observation tower. The front door, accessed by the porch, led to the central staircase via a vestibule, which had a lavatory to one side. On the river (northern) side of the residence was an eastern drawing room and connected western dining room that both featured fireplaces, architraves, large windows, skirting boards and ‘wainscoting’ (dado panelling). On the southern side of the residence was a morning (breakfast) room to the east, which opened onto the front verandah; with the kitchen, scullery and connected service wing to the west. Upstairs, there were six bedrooms, each of a different size; a small housemaid’s store and press; and a bathroom behind the central staircase. An additional stair climbed the observation tower, which had a viewing platform in response to the house’s prominent position atop the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Externally, there were two water tanks, a service wing, including a washhouse with fuel store and earth closet, and a full-sized tennis court (56 x 17m).[14] Early photographs from the Leopard Street entrance driveway show various concrete render mouldings, including the residence’s name, Home, above the pediment to the entrance porch; and iron entrance gates set within a front fence with polychromatic brickwork and concrete capping.
The specifications also clearly distinguished between the primary and other rooms, requiring cedar and ‘fancy wood’ of a wider profile for timber joinery in the public rooms (including drawing, dining and morning rooms, staircase, vestibule and lavatory) and four principal bedrooms; with pine in the two back bedrooms and kitchen. Pressed metal ceilings and / or ceiling roses were to be located in public rooms and principal bedrooms, with leadlight glazing specified for use in a skylight, the front door, vestibule door, cloak-room (potentially describing the lavatory) window, small windows to dining room fireplace, bathroom windows, some verandah doors, and fanlights over dining room and drawing room windows. The drawing room and main bedroom featured bay windows.
Wilson called for tenders for the brick villa in March 1902. The house was constructed over a twelve month period by builder William Anthony at a contract price of £3,250. Work was underway by June 1902, when the ‘fine two-storied residence… commanding a beautiful prospect’ was described in the Brisbane Courier as the main work occupying Wilson’s ‘architectural skill’.
The eight subdivisions provided a generous 3133m2 site for the house and its features. The house was positioned near the back of the site, taking advantage of the extensive views, with a driveway from Leopard Street curving around the tennis court. The Leopard Street frontage was lined by a polychromatic brick wall and ornate driveway gates, also designed by Wilson. Fig trees were planted along the Leopard Street frontage to the property, with additional trees and gardens along the northern boundary, the tennis court fence and the circular driveway, which terminated in front of the house. A service entrance ran from Wild Street to the kitchen and service wing.
The Lamb family house was completed by April 1903, when Mrs Lamb advertised for a general servant from ‘Home, River terrace’. The youngest of the Lambs’ four children was born in 1905; by 1910, Mrs Lamb, with two servants and a children’s nursemaid, advertised for additional help.
The attraction of Kangaroo Point as a quiet but centrally located suburb for the well-to-do continued well into the 1920s. Its reputation as a leafy garden suburb was enhanced in the 1910s when River Terrace was planted with a line of fig trees and garden beds, improving the clifftop promenade. A photograph taken of the River Terrace promenade in 1919 displayed both the vegetation improvements and the view, which terminated in Home and its neighbouring house, Edgecliffe. In 1928 the suburb was recognised as one of the ‘garden suburbs of Brisbane’, with ‘handsome residences, well-kept gardens, wide-streets, and tree-lined avenues.’ From the 1930s, however, houses along the peninsula (including a number of historic homes) were removed for the construction of the Story Bridge (1940) [QHR 600240], and the suburb became increasingly busy.
Few changes appear to have been made to Home after its construction. Architect Wilson undertook minor repairs to the property in 1911, and a brick garage was added at the Wild Street boundary by 1925, with the circular driveway removed and extended to the garage. A pavilion was later added to the tennis court (extant by 1942). The trees, which had become substantial by the 1940s, were cut back in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
John Lamb senior died in 1920, passing the Edwards and Lamb business to his two sons, John and Frank, and the house to his widow, Sarah. Home was mortgaged in 1922 for the sum of £8,000. Three of the Lamb children did not marry, and continued to reside in the large family residence. Both sons worked for the retail firm, while Sarah and her daughters hosted a number of social and fundraising events at the house in the 1920s and 30s, particularly in aid of the nearby St Mary’s Anglican Church. The three unmarried children also purchased the neighbouring Rockfield in 1941. Following Sarah’s death in 1956, ownership of Home passed to her daughters, who remained resident at the house.
The Lamb family business – known both as Edwards and Lambs and simply Lamb’s – operated successfully into the mid-20th century, as one of the renowned Queensland draperies which dominated the state’s retailing market until the 1950s. From the small Queen Street store, it expanded to a large commercial operation with a mail order business for country customers, and was ‘always assured of patronage, especially from country people, who know they are dealing with a reputable establishment’. Until 1921 it relied on word-of-mouth, rather than advertising, for its business. Edwards and Lambs’ premises were extended in 1932 and 1938, doubling the floor size and improving the layout, until it developed a ‘world-wide reputation’ by 1949. A Victory Farm was established at Holland Park during WWII, changing to flowers after the war to decorate the business premises. The Lamb brothers also continued to operate Edwards and Lamb with attention to the welfare of its employees, providing a superannuation scheme and mutual benefits society; additional Christmas holidays; and an extra week’s pay on the firm’s 60th anniversary. As neither a private nor public company, the business was the responsibility of the Lamb brothers, and after both passed away, the firm was sold to Factors Ltd. The sale coincided with the demise of the Queensland-based retailers in the 1960s, when they were superseded by drive-in suburban shopping centres, and sold to large southern retailers.
Home’s prominent position and striking style have made it a Brisbane landmark. As early as 1906 the ‘fine residence’ was considered worthy of note amongst the ‘suburban beauties’ of Kangaroo Point, and the ‘stately home’ featured as one of Brisbane’s newer homes photographed for the Queenslander in 1927. Home has featured in numerous publications, including Salon, the Architectural Journal of New South Wales; Towards the Dawn; 150 years of Brisbane River Housing; architectural sketches; blog posts and tourism websites; and picture postcards of the city. Visible along two stretches of the Brisbane River, as well as from the Botanic Gardens, Kangaroo Point Cliffs and South Bank, it has attracted the attention of tourists, and the house was dramatically floodlit for the Royal Visit in 1954. In 2010, Home was recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects as a nationally significant work, as an important landmark, the best known residential work of Wilson, and arguably Brisbane’s most distinguished Queen Anne styled mansion.

The country park is only young and was designated in 2002 when South Somerset District Council established ownership. The country park is in a unique position, sited only 5 minutes walk from the bustling town centre and offers open access green space to residents and visitors.
The Country Park is comprised of five main areas all of which have very different characteristics and land features. The landscape varies from Ninesprings which is the most heavily used and accessible section with its network of footpaths and waterways to the Riverside walk which gives the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of town as you stroll through woodland following the path of the River Yeo.
Yeovil Country Park received Country Park accreditation from Natural England in 2009. Natural England believes that everyone should have access to good quality natural green space near to where they live. This provides a broad range of benefits to people and the quality of their lives, covering all the ecosystem services we depend on.
Natural England expects that, “People will have places to access and enjoy a high quality natural environment”. This is often more achievable in urban communities than in rural communities, particularly in lowland agricultural England where there is often poor access to quality green space.
The Green Flag Award Scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country. Yeovil Country Park entered the Green Flag Award Scheme in 2005 and has been awarded Green Flag status every year since due to its high standard of maintenance and community engagement. www.southsomersetcountryside.com/yeovil-country-park/abou...
King's Mill or Vincent's Mill, Shipley, West Sussex, England is a smock mill built in 1879 which has been restored and was open to the public until its closure on 19 July 2009.
King's Mill was built in 1879 at a cost of £2,500 by Messrs Grist and Steele, the Horsham millwrights. Machinery from a windmill at Coldwaltham is believed to have been incorporated in the mill. The mill worked commercially until 1926, latterly by a steam engine. It was bought in 1906 by Hilaire Belloc, who owned it until his death in 1953. King's Mill was restored by E Hole and Sons, the Burgess Hill millwrights, as a memorial to Belloc soon after his death and was re-opened to visitors for the first time in 1958. West Sussex County Council had the responsibility for the upkeep of the mill, which remained in the ownership of the Belloc family.
The Shipley Windmill Charitable Trust was formed in 1987 and took over responsibility for the maintenance. Further restoration work was carried out by Hole's between 1987 and 1990, when the mill re-opened, although with only two sweeps at that time. The second pair of sweeps was fitted in 1991. A new pair of sweeps and a new stock were fitted in November 2004. On 7 April 2009, it was announced that the mill was to close to the public as the lease owned by Shipley Mill Charitable Trust only had three years to run and they had been notified that the lease would not be renewed when it expired. The mill, in full working order, opened for the 2009 season on 5 April and held its last open day on 19 July.
The mill was the filming location for Jonathan Creek's home in the BBC series of that name

The competition potential of Aston Martin's new DB4 had been recognised from the outset, and the factory lost no time in developing a lightweight version suitable for racing, the resulting DB4GT debuting at the 1959 London Motor Show. The model had already been proven in competition earlier that year when the prototype ('DP/199') driven by Stirling Moss won its first race at Silverstone. Extensive modifications to the standard car took 5" (127mm) out of the wheelbase, and replaced the rear seats with a luggage platform on all but a small number of cars. Together with lighter, 18-gauge bodywork, these changes reduced the car's weight by around 200lb (91kg).
The GT used a tuned engine which, equipped with a twin-plug cylinder head and triple Weber 45DCOE carburettors, produced a claimed 302bhp at 6,000rpm, a useful increase over the standard car's claimed 240bhp. Maximum speed, of course, depended on overall gearing, but 250km/h was achieved during testing with a 0-100km/h time of 6.2 seconds recorded. The DB4 was also one of the first cars to go from standstill to 160km/h and then brake to a dead stop on under 20 seconds, a tribute, in part, to its up-rated Girling brakes as used on Aston Martin's competition sports racers of the era.
While several customers liked the idea of the GT engine, not all were so keen on the DB4GT's Spartan, competition orientated and less roomy interior, preferring the civility of the standard model. To accommodate these select few clients, Aston Martin was happy to supply the DB4 with the GT engine. The first three such examples were completed in 1961 during production of the 'Series 3' DB4, followed by a further five in 'Series 4' and six in 'Series 5' plus one convertible, making 15 cars in total (source: AMOC Register).
This matching-numbers car, left-hand drive chassis 'DB4/886/L', is one of the five 'Series 4' saloons delivered with the twin-plug GT engine installed, three of which were left-hand drive, and is thus one of the rarest of all DB4 variants. The car was delivered new in 1962 via US importers J S Inskip first owner Henry Dingley Jr of Auburn, Maine, a motor sports enthusiast known to have raced Alfa Romeos and a Lotus XI. The DB4 was ordered with the desirable GT-type dashboard, overdrive gearbox, oil temperature gauge, brake servo, chrome wheels, and a Bray block heater as well as the GT engine. The Aston's immediate history thereafter is not known, but by January 1985 it was in the ownership of Thomas Clark of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. '886/L' next passed to S A Taylor in the USA and in 1992 was acquired by Philip Cowan of Guernsey, Channel Islands. Later that same year the car was sold to Mr Rolf Annecke of Neuenkirchen, Germany.
During the years of Mr Annecke's ownership the car was completely restored (body, mechanicals, engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, electrics, etc) including a bare metal re-spray in Deep Carriage Green (an original Aston Martin colour). The extensive engine overhaul and tune up was carried out by Roos Engineering of Safenwil, Switzerland, while the interior was completely refurbished using correct original materials: Connolly leather, Wilton carpeting, etc.
In 2014 Mr Annecke offered the DB4 for sale. At that time approximately 1,000 miles had been covered since the rebuild's completion in 2005, the odometer reading at time of sale being 48,000 miles. Some 500 miles previously the old original Dunlop wire wheels had been exchanged for new 16" Borrani-style wheels shod with new Dunlop racing tyres. Most aspects of the restoration are documented by bills and photographs on file.
In early 2014 Mr Annecke sold the DB4 to the consignor, a connoisseur marque enthusiast based in Belgium. Determined to return the Aston to concours-standard original specification, he commissioned Carrosserie Philip Vilain in Brussels to start work in the summer of 2014. Vilain's brief was to completely restore the coachwork and chrome, and so the body was stripped back to bare metal and repainted in its original black livery, the entire process being documented by numerous photographs on file.
The factory's Aston Martin Works division was approached in 2015 to carry out a thorough evaluation of '886/L'. They made several recommendations, resulting in further refurbishment that included installing a new radiator, steering wheel, front/rear windscreens, headlights, and accelerator pedal. At the same time the interior was correctly re-trimmed in red leather with Wilton woollen carpets and a correct headlining. Related invoices on file total over £78,000 (approximately €90,500). Aston Martin Works issued a Gold Certification book in September 2016, confirming '886/L' to be a fully matching-numbers car retaining its original GT engine. Additional paperwork includes a factory production record; a former bill of sale and registration document; a BMIHT Certificate; and the aforementioned restoration records. The car is UK registered and comes to the sale with EU duties paid.
To call the GT-engined DB4 a 'factory hotrod' may not be entirely appropriate, but there can be no denying that its unique combination of high performance and 'gentlemen's club' refinement, not to mention a decent sized boot, makes it particularly appealing. Rarer but in the same top league as many a more expensive motor car from Maranello it represents a very refined choice for the discerning collector. As such it is nevertheless the ideal companion for use on long-distance tours and rallies and would surely be a welcome participant at any prestigious concours d'élégance event.
Townend is a 17th-century house located in Troutbeck, Windermere, Cumbria, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust. It was donated to the Trust in 1948. Prior to this it was the home of the Browne family, local farmers, for 400 years.
Place: Guangzhou, Guangdong Province
Chinese name: 奇瑞风云 (qíruì fēngyún)
Year of launch: 1999
Chery Automobile was the largest Chinese carmaker for quite some time, thanks to successes of the QQ, Tiggo, A5 and the old Windcloud/Flagcloud (Fulwin/Cowin) models. Chery is a state-owned company founded in 1997. It began automobile production in 1999 after acquiring toolings and a license to produce the first generation Seat Toledo. Interesting is that Chery was only granted a production license for passenger cars in 2003, which means Chery cars couldn't be legally sold until 2001. Until then Chery was officially only producing automotive components, albeit in a fully assembled form. In 2001 Chery solved the problem by piggybacking on a SAIC Motor license, China's largest state-owned car manufacturer. Chery surely knowns the way around the law... After rising tensions between Chery Automobile and General Motors (GM) and Volkswagen, two of SAIC's joint venture partners, the 20% ownership SAIC once held in Chery was sold. GM was not amused and filed lawsuits after Chery copied their Spark (Matiz) and Epica (Evanda/Magnus) models. Volkswagen also planned a lawsuit against Chery, because they apparently secretly purchased the Seat Toledo blueprints, which is quite interesting considering Seat is a subsidiary of Volkswagen...
The Fengyun or Windcloud, also known as Fulwin, was followed by the Qiyun or Flagcloud, also known as Cowin, in 2003. The Flagcloud had a unique front end and rear end. Chery had a terribly messy line-up after it launched three new sub brands in 2009, two of which completely failed: Rely, Riich (both now defunct) and Karry. One of Karry's products was the Karry Youyi, in the vein of cars like the Opel Combo Tour. The Karry Youyi was initially branded as Chery Karry before Karry became a new brand. The Karry Youyi is based on the platform of the Windcloud/Flagcloud, and also shares its interior with these models (and Seat Toledo). Chery further complicated their line-up when it launched a whole range of Cowin-badged models in 2010: the QQ6 continued as Cowin 1, the Cowin (Flagcloud) as Cowin 2, the A5 as Cowin 3 and the Eastar as Cowin 5. The Cowin 2 continued to be produced until 2016, which finally marked the end of the old Seat Toledo launched in 1991.

This photograph had been bumped up for the anniversary of my ownership of the Land Rover Freelander.
Silverstone Circuit, near the village of Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom. Sunday 14th July 2019.
About this photograph.
I had the Land Rover Freelander for just about two years and few months. On Sunday of 14th July 2019, I drove to the Silverstone Circuit, and parked my Freelander at this car parking area on a field outside of the circuit area.
I went to watch the Formula 1 British Grand Prix 2019, race in person and with my own eyes, to experience it for real, smell it, and feel it. Not like watching a live race on television at home, but actually being there.
The main point of why I went there was because I love Formula 1, I wanted to enjoy a real race just for once, and doing the photography was simply a secondary role. I did manage to get as much as about 885 shots.
You may think 885 is not much, but as I said, I wanted to enjoy watching it, rather than doing photography. I wanted my first visit to be about being there to enjoy it, and if I plan to go again, future visits could be about photography first.
You can view my photographs in my album titled Formula 1 British Grand Prix 2019, and can be viewed here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72157715299880376
About the event.
Here’s a quick summary of the race: Valtteri Bottas started on the pole, the two Haas cars collided with each other. Magnussen had a flat tyre and retired (see my photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49955865996/in/datepo...)
Giovinazzi spun onto the gravel, which had to bring out the Safety Car. Vettel was handed a 10-seconds penalty for causing a collision with Verstappen. In the end, Lewis Hamilton won his 6th British Grand Prix, and got an extra point for fastest lap.
At the end of the day, as the crowd were leaving, I was on my way back to the car park. As I crossed the footbridge over Dadford Road to the car park on the other side, I spotted my car, and decided to take a quick photo.

Leggenda e passione - Ferrari 250 GT
Rot ist die charakteristische Farbe von Ferrari, aber die seltene gelbe Lackierung unterstreicht nochmals den Reiz dieser Ikone. Die 61er-Modelle unterschieden sich optisch teilweise von ihren Vorgängern, etwa durch einen anderen Tankstuzten und einen grösseren Frontgrill; selbstverständlich gab es noch weitere Details, doch würde nun zu sehr ins Detail führen, zumal selten zwei Fahrzeuge genau gleich waren. Auch das Chassis wurde kaum überarbeitet, es wurde nach den Erfahrungen in den Rennen an einigen Stellen verstärkt und konnte an anderen etwas erleichtert werden. Wichtiger waren sowieso die Verbesserungen am Motor, der nun als Tipo 168 sowie, in seiner etwas potenteren Variante, als Tipo 168 Comp./61 bezeichnet wurde. Der Motorblock bestand aus Silumin und wurde auch sonst massiv überarbeitet, so dass nun 280 PS und mehr möglich wurden. Die Comp./61-Maschinen schafften auch 300 PS – und waren reinrassige Rennmaschinen, die bei etwa 5500/min noch einmal kräftig zulegten – und deshalb eigentlich nur von Profis gezähmt werden konnten.
