Houses, now shops and business premises, formerly the White Hart Inn. Late C16, incorporating some medieval fabric, refronted late C18, with late C19-early C20 shops. Flemish bond brick, colourwashed with moulded stone eaves cornice, refronting timber framing. No.12 remodelled 1924 by Stockwell and Ditchburn. Welsh slate roof with tiled ridge. Main street front of 3 storeys, 4 bays. In 3rd bay a vehicle entrance to White Hart yard. 3 small C 19 shop-fronts in other bays. Upper windows replaced sashes under flat gauged brick arches. Old stonework in rear wall. Rear wing to White Hart yard 2 storeys, 4 bays, irregular. Early Cl9 mock timbered and pebble-dashed facade. Elaborate central doorway flanked by large shop windows with sash windows above; seventeenth-century window. To left the rendered section with a deep plinth has a moulded and 4-centred arched doorway. INTERIOR: ground floor of bay to left of yard entrance has very heavy ceiling beams. Some interval partitions have timber studding. The whole first floor is one large 4-bay room. Heavy beams divide the bays and between these are close-set joists with trilobe mouldings and elegantly run-out stops. In southern part of rear wall a stone fireplace with massive chamfered lintel and solid jambs corbelled-out in two stages to support the lintel. Jambs are chamfered on shaft to corbels and have small broaches at top and bottom. At north end of room a smaller similar fireplace whose right jamb is damaged and left jamb rebuilt in brick. All these features appear to be late C16 and original. In rear wing which is part of No 16, the first floor ceiling shows similar heavy beams, but no visible joists. These buildings occupy medieval burgage plots, rare survivals in Newcastle, and retain considerable amounts of early fabric behind later facades. EH Listing
The house
Even for the inner city of Vienna, the premises of the Ring Road Galleries are unique: connected by a glass bridge, two fundamentally different buildings follow a common vocation: to be the first shopping address of the city.
The internationally renowned architects Wilhelm Holzbauer and Georg Lippert in a fascinating way combined the charm of Vienna, modern aesthetics and state-of-the-art technology in the main buildings of the Ring Road Galleries, Palais Corso and Kärntnerringhof (Carinthian Ring Court).
Kärntnerringhof
The Kärntnerringhof, with an area of 35,000 square meters, stands proudly on the site of the former Steyr-House. With 16 floors, it offers not only space for the Ring Road Galleries, but also for spacious offices, luxury apartments and the underground car park. The owner of the Kärntnerringhof is the Zurich Insurance Company.
Palais Corso
The monumental facade of the Palais Corso which outwardly reflects the charm of the 19th century impresses with a highly modern interior.

Fire Watch Services by The Fast Fire Watch Company are being preferred by businesses to ensure the best response to a fire on the premises, especially in the aftermath of the recent protests when installed fire alarms may not be working.
Hollywood, FL: According to announcements released by The Fast Fire Watch Company and George Navarro, the company has seen an increase in demand for its fire watch services in recent times. The waves of protests that swept across the country highlighted the need for hiring a professional fire watch services company. This business is run by retired firefighters who have the experience and instinct to do the right thing to prevent fires and quickly control one before it gets out of hand. The Fast Fire Watch Company has offices all over America.
Businesses cannot afford the risk of a shutdown or pay hefty fines that dereliction in ensuring fire safety attracts. This fire watch services company fulfills short or long-term needs through a smooth operation that begins with a free, quick estimate followed by timely deployment of fire watch guards for temporary or long fire watch security.
According to sources, The Fire Watch Company has completed more than 10,000 watch patrols. It continues to rank the most trusted fire watch guard services because of its commitment to customer service and by having a tried and tested system in place. Guards are on standby to arrive at the jobsite fully equipped and on time. The emergency-trained guards comply with city and state ordinances, maintain a log, and monitor the area. They can quickly identify hazards and will work with the local authorities. Once a project is completed, the guard turns in all the logs to the Fire Marshall.
For more information, go to fastfirewatchguards.com
George Navarro of Fast Fire Watch Company said, “If your fire alert system is out of order for more than four hours in 24 hours, you are required by law to implement a fire watch. Be sure to check with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to ensure you’re adhering to local requirements as they may be more stringent. Another reason is hot work being performed in the building; this includes welding, torch use, or any other flame and/or spark-producing activity. This is particularly relevant in building sites. Any area that has a large gathering of people can create a fire hazard and safety concerns. Fire watch services are required to protect the crowd from the dangers of flames in a crowded, condensed area.”
Sharing insights on the hiring of a fire watch company, Navarro said, “Hiring a fire watch company that you can rely on is important for many reasons. First, you need highly trained and skilled guards to keep a vigilant eye on your property to protect it. You may be tempted to use some of your regular employees as fireguards, however, this is not advisable as they do not have the proper training and expertise to execute properly and most securely. There are trained and certified fire watch guards available, on-call 24/7, for your fire watch needs. The price you’ll pay to hire expert guards is small when you consider the potential consequences your building could suffer without them.”

Today (Friday 10 November), Operation Vulcan executed warrants at premises on Bury New Road, shutting down and seizing half a million of pounds worth of counterfeit items.
Police warnings seem to have fallen on deaf ears for some counterfeit operations in the area. Attempts to re-open and profit from the Christmas sales however continue to be detected and swiftly shut down.
Thanks to intelligence from the Cheetham Hill Neighbourhood Team (who remain in the area with the Vulcan team and conduct daily patrols in the community), Operation Vulcan were able to execute these warrants just days after witnessing customers walking down Bury New Road with bags of fake goods.
Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers, said: “These results today demonstrate just how important it is that Operation Vulcan remain in the area. The criminals operating here are so brazen, the minute they think they spot an opening, they’re back up and running as though it’s business as usual. We’re here to show them that this isn’t the case, and we will not stop until these illegitimate shops are eradicated and those responsible are locked up.
“I hope this is a warning that no matter how many times you try to reopen, we will continue to seize your belongings and profits, making sure none of this money can make its way back into the criminal market.
Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council said: "Over the past 12 months we have achieved a great deal through Operation Vulcan. Through our partnership with GMP gangs have been run out of Cheetham Hill and people have been allowed to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.
"But the work will go on. We know these gangs are tenacious and that criminals will always find ways to circumvent the law. The Council's Trading Standards will remain vigilant throughout the Christmas period to make sure that dangerous or harmful goods do not make their way in the hands of the public."

The Murray Premises.
"The Murray Premises, a group of buildings of various dates, were rehabilitated in 1979 and now contain shops, offices and museum facilities. Formerly the buildings served as fishery premises, with facilities for drying and packing fish and warehouses for fish, barrels and other items. The oldest of the buildings is the one facing on Beck's Cove. It was built after the 1846 fire and for a time served as both shop and house. The Murray Premises are the only remaining mid-19th-century waterfront fishery premises in St. John's, and as such have been designated a National Historic Site."

The premises of the temple contains some water ponds, with a small shrine at the center of one of the water ponds. The temple is for worshipping the sun god and also has a beautiful Shiv Lingam as well, and has a tank inside it with a number of fish, and devotees like to feed these fish. It was an important location for Kashmiri Pundits till the emergence of terrorism in the area caused many disturbances. The temple had to be guarded by a contingent of security forces, and this presence of security forces can be seen by visitors with security posts and a sand-bag position inside the temple compound. The temple was also famous to visitors because the pundits here would claim to know your entire family history based on previous visits.
WORKER KILLED.
FALL FROM A GIRDER.
COMPANION'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
The snapping of a steel chain which was being used to hoist a large girder on the premises of the new Grand Theatre, which is now in course of construction in Little Queen Street, resulted in the instant death of Thomas Butland, a construction worker, of 59, Vermont Street, Ponsonby, this morning, while his companion, Bob Wilson, who was sitting at the other end of the girder, had an almost miraculous escape. The massive steel scaffolding is now in process of erection, and the men were engaged in hoisting a cross girder to a position about 30 feet high. Slings had been placed on the girder, and the hoisting rope attached. Butland was sitting on one side, and his companion on the other. The girder was being hoisted up by means of an engine, and had got about 30 feet when the chain snapped, and the girder gave way, both ends catching on the side walls. Butland was thrown off and toppled to the ground on to some heavy logs, sustaining a broken neck and leg, as well as other injuries to the head. Death followed immediately. Wilson, by remarkable presence of mind, caught hold of a thin wiring that was running up the side of the wall. He managed to climb up this to the top of the roof, and got away uninjured.
Dr. de Clive Lowe was immediately summoned, but too late to be of any assistance to Butland.
Deceased, who was a single man, was conveyed to the hospital, where an inquest will be held.
It is believed that the sharp snap in the air this morning was the cause of the hoisting chain becoming brittle and resulting in its breaking.
The work of construction is being carried out by the Steel Construction Co., Ltd., Messrs. Massey Bros, having the subcontract for the steel work.

FALL FROM A GIRDER
A WORKMAN'S DEATH.
FROST WEAKENS CHAIN.
An inquest was held by Mr. F. V. Frazer, S.M., yesterday into the circumstances of the death of Thomas Butland, who died as the result of injuries received on Monday by falling some 30ft from a girder whilst employed by the Steel Construction Company on the erection of the Grand Theatre in Lower Queen Street. Mr. H. P. Richmond and Mr. N. Wyatt appeared on behalf of the Steel Construction Co., Ltd., and Mr. Hall Skelton for the relatives of the deceased. Senior-Sergeant Rutledge appeared for the police.
Evidence of identification was given by Stanley G. Butland, a brother of the deceased.
Dr. G. de Clive Lowe said that when called to the Grand Theatre building he found the injured man already dead. He had sustained a broken neck and a fracture of the base of the skull. The injuries could have been, caused by a fall from a girder on to some logs about 35ft below.
The Accident Described.
A description of the accident was given by Ricnard Webster, clerk of works. The deceased was at one end of a girder which was being raised into position to a height of about 30ft, by means of power from a donkey engine. A workman named Wilson was at the other end. The girder, on account of its being longer than the distance from wall to wall of the building, was being raised obliquely. When the girder was about to be dropped into position, a link in the chain at deceased's end of the girder snapped, bringing down an iron block in the tackle, which struck the deceased on the head. Butland leaned over the side, and then dropped from the girder on to some beams and planks below. When picked up he was unconscious, but not quite dead. The chain that broke was five-eighths of an inch thick, and had been used in placing several other girders in position. There was a chain at each end of the girder, which would be about 2 tons 2cwt in weight.
Effect of Frost.
The witness continued that chains were liable to be brittle after a frosty night, through their becoming crystallised, though he admitted that heavy usage changed the form of crystallisation, and made a chain more brittle. He examined the broken chain after the accident, and though the, broken link was missing, the rest of the chain showed few signs of wear and tear, and was apparently of the requisite thickness all over. He thought that the chain had been tested to carry a weight of 5 tons, He did not hear either the deceased or Wilson call out before the accident. After the chain broke, the girder jammed, and Wilson climbed to the roof of the building, and so escaped.
In answer to Mr. Hall Skelton, Mr. Webster said that he had known several cases in which sound chains had broken on frosty mornings. The chain in question, he considered, had been fairly tested by the amount of heavy work it had already done on the job, which included the lifting into position of six stanchions each from 4½ to 5 tons in weight.
Call to the Winchman.
Similar descriptions of the accident were given by Robert J. F. Wilson, a Boilermaker, who was on the girder with Butland, and John L. Johnstone, a labourer, whose duty it was to transmit signals from the men on the girder to those at the winch. The latter witness stated that he heard Butland call out for the winch to stop at the exact moment that the chain broke, and it was stopped immediately. Each witness expressed the opinion that the chain was quite strong enough for heavier work than it was then doing, and that cold and frosty, weather had the effect of making chains brittle.
A Sound Chain.
Frederick Jansen, acting foreman for the Steel Construction Company, also stated that he heard Rutland call out just before he fell, and that the winch was immediately stopped. The witness continued that it was the custom to take no risks whatever on such a job, and if any doubts were felt concerning a chain it was immediately replaced. He had seen the chain in question two or three days before the accident, and it was then perfectly sound. It was an unwelded chain of the bast quality. Monday morning, in the opinion of the witness, was cold enough to " kill " iron, and he had on many occasions seen iron break as the result of cold weather. This particular chain fed borne no undue strain, and was capable of lifting much heavier weights than it had been called upon to do.
The Verdict.
In giving his verdict, His Worship found that the cause of death was a broken neck and a fractured skull, sustained by the deceased as the result of a fall from a girder, the fall being due to the breaking of a chain by means of which the girder was being hoisted. There was no evidence to show how the chain came to break, but it was probable that it had been rendered brittle through the action of frost. There was, His Worship concluded, no evidence to indicate that anyone was any way to blame for the accident.
