No. 1 - 5: Last look before going home from Canterbury.
Some of the houses of King's School, Canterbury are to be found behind the wall along Monastery Street.
597 AND ALL THAT: A Brief History of the King’s School, Canterbury
The King’s School, Canterbury
- is often described as the oldest school in England. Such a claim is impossible to verify, but there is at least some justification in associating the School with the origins of Christian education in England. St. Augustine probably established a school shortly after his arrival in Canterbury in 597, and it is from this institution that the modern King’s School ultimately grew. In 1997, the School therefore participated fully in the celebrations of the 1400th anniversary of the coming of St. Augustine.
Very little is known about the Canterbury school in the early centuries of its existence. During the Middle Ages, however, there was clearly a school attached to the Cathedral and run as part of the monastic establishment. There are definite references to Headmasters from the later thirteenth century, but little other evidence of this school’s existence survives. Despite the obscurity of these early years, the King’s School nonetheless feels that it is rightly associated with its predecessor and there are stained glass windows commemorating former pupils St John of Beverley and St Aldhelm in the School’s Memorial Chapel.
The fully documented history of the School really starts in the sixteenth century. With the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the School was re-founded by a Royal Charter in 1541. This established a Headmaster, a Lower Master, and fifty King’s Scholars. The name ‘King’s School’, now used for the first time, thus refers to King Henry VIII. Soon afterwards, through the beneficence of Cardinal Pole, the School moved to the Mint Yard and acquired the Almonry building, on the site of the present Mitchinson’s House, which was used for some 300 years.
The King’s School, Canterbury drawn in 1777 by Francis GroseThe revived School quickly established its reputation, not least thanks to its first Headmaster, John Twyne (c1524-62), and in the next hundred years a number of former pupils (now known as O.K.S. or Old King’s Scholars) achieved national fame. Among these were Christopher Marlowe, the playwright contemporary of Shakespeare and author of Dr. Faustus, William Harvey, the scientist who discovered the circulation of the blood, and John Tradescant, the distinguished gardener and collector.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the School survived the disruption of the Civil War and some less than distinguished Headmasters. It remained a successful grammar school, educating boys largely from Canterbury and Kent. Under one remarkable Headmaster, Osmund Beauvoir (1750-82), it achieved wider fame. His pupils included Charles Abbott, later Lord Chief Justice, and Sir Samuel Egerton Brydges, the eccentric man of letters.
It was the Victorian Headmasters George Wallace (1832-59) and especially John Mitchinson (1859-73) who transformed the King’s School into a ‘public school’ with a national reputation. The buildings were improved, most notably with the new Schoolroom of 1855, and academic standards raised. Mitchinson’s period in office unfortunately ended in a rebellion by the boys, and he left to become Bishop of Barbados.
One other aspect of this Victorian development was the growth of organised sport, with cricket and rugby football the most important. Cricket had been played on a casual basis for some time, and some games were even played on the Green Court as shown in this 1865 photograph. In addition, the boys were now able to use the ground of the famous Beverley Club, now the St. Lawrence Ground, which is still the headquarters of the Kent Cricket Club today.
Despite this growing emphasis on games, the School’s most distinguished old boys were literary figures. Walter Pater, the influential critic, and Hugh Walpole, the popular novelist, are well known. Even more famous is Somerset Maugham, who wrote about his schooldays in Of Human Bondage, where the School is thinly disguised as ‘The King’s School, Tercanbury’. In the twentieth century this artistic tradition has been continued with the notable film directors Carol Reed, Michael Powell (who returned to his home county to make A Canterbury Tale) and Charles Frend.
King's Week Poster 1952The modern development of the School was largely the achievement of Canon ‘Fred’ Shirley, who became Headmaster in 1935 when the School was suffering from the effects of the Depression. Through his dynamism and financial skill, he saw the School expand rapidly in numbers from about 200 to about 600 pupils in some 30 years. He also acquired and built several more buildings in the Precincts. In his time, too, the School survived the war-time evacuation to Cornwall and received a new Royal Charter from King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1946. Above all, the School grew in reputation, thanks to its academic, sporting and cultural success. ‘King’s Week’, the festival of music and drama at the end of the summer term, was started in 1952.
It is no surprise that modern O.K.S. have achieved fame in a variety of fields, including literature (Patrick Leigh Fermor, Edward Lucie-Smith and James Hamilton-Paterson); music (Louis Halsey, Harry Christophers and Christopher Seaman); politics (Lord Garel-Jones and the Powell brothers, Charles and Jonathan); and sport (David Gower and Frances Houghton), as well as in business, journalism, science, education – in this country and around the world.
In recent years, this development and modernisation has continued apace. The School now has about 800 pupils, aged 13 to 18. The most significant change came when girls first joined the Sixth Form in the early 1970s, and since 1990, the School has been fully co-educational. In 2000, the School welcomed the first children both of whose parents were O.K.S.
Today the twelve boarding houses are mostly scattered around the Cathedral Precincts, in buildings dating from the 13th century Meister Omers to Jervis House opened in 1992. There are three houses in the nineteenth century St. Augustine’s College, next to the ruins of the medieval St. Augustine’s Abbey; the nearby Harvey House was built in 1998 and the New Grange opened in 2007. The rest of the School buildings are a similar mixture of old and new. The main classroom block is in a former medieval brewery and bakehouse, an art centre was recently opened in the converted Blackfriars, drama takes place in the converted medieval St. Mary’s Hall, and there is a Sports Centre, whose foundation stone was laid by David Gower. The new Edred Wright Music School opened in 2009.
There have been several histories of the School published: Memorials of the King's School, Canterbury by J.S. Sidebotham appeared in 1865. Schola Regia Cantuariensis: A History of Canterbury School, commonly called the King's School, by C.E. Woodruff and H.J. Cape (1908) is the fullest and best documented. A History of the King's School Canterbury by David Edwards brought the story up to 1957. The most recent history is Imps of Promise by Thomas Hinde, published in 1990. An updated edition appeared in 2005 and is available from the School Shop.

Never got to finish some of my reviews (mostly my fault) but I didn't want to leave these pictures unreleased.
So here is the image gallery from the Project Mc2 Wave 3 Bryden review that never happened. Enjoy.
Another atmospherey horror shot... this time featuring the zombie driver on dawn patrol. I think it could be a movie still, no?
What's poppin, y'all?

I came across some photos of a project from last year. I was asked to put together the parts for a model of Poole Bus Station for someone to build. (Not really my sort of thing at all)
I duly designed, printed and dispatched it. To keep the costs reasonable I only actually built a trial of a small part of it - these are the photos, which several months on don't look too bad at all!
The whole model comes out at over four feet long (!!!), and takes an amazing amount of card, but if anyone fancies a crazy challenge then let me know.
We're spreading this one over the weekend, as we've got something tomorrow as well, but it's Sue's birthday!
Happy birthday! :)
Close-up of one of the beautiful cardinals that come to the feeders. First in the morning, last at night.
new personal project, started yesterday.
all us photographers know about the 365 project. a way to keep us accountable of taking a photo every day for a long period of time. i attempted to take a photo every day in May and didn’t eve accomplish that. but i like to take on things that overwhelm me, with the end result usually being failure. so of course thought every day of an entire year would be a smart idea. than i thought, why not just start this now. on an average day i am looking at at least 87,493 more photos than i take, pouting about how brilliant they are and how brilliant mine aren’t. part of this (which i need to keep reminding myself) is that i am young. which is no excuse just a reminder that i don’t have to have a wonderful portfolio and have traveled the world, yet. i am at the age where i need to learn, i need to do and make and create and expand. So that is why i am taking on this project, because right now a lot of my photography i am disappointed with, not because it is bad but because i want it to be better. so day by day i will document my self taught (and some friend taught) progress.
MTA New York City Transit conducted extensive outreach to notify and educate the public about the L project and its service impact when the tunnel rehabilitation portion of the project began on Friday, April 26, 2019. The project is expected to take 15-18 months to complete.

Prime goal of Project Viking is this National Aeronautics and Space Administration sketch, to land a biological laboratory on the surface of Mars. The picture shows a design in which the protective housing around the experiments unfolds in petal fashion once the laboratory is safely on the Martian surface.

After my last model diorama was binned following a house move I have decided to build a new one. The basic framework is shown here and unlike the last one which was just a basic embankment with a retaining wall I want this one to be a little different.
As it stands the base is a B&Q Basics pine shelf which cost just under a fiver, the back and side is a piece of hardboard left over from another job. The framework is made from pieces of 2x1 that was used to keep the packing in place on our new cooker.
So far this is looking to be a diorama on a budget, however as all good plans usually end up failing watch this one end up costing me a fortune!
The VACANCY Project invites the public (and local government officials) into Richmond's vacant Central National Bank on April 8th 2011 to experience a series of light and sound installations through the building's interior. The project hopes to creatively address and affect issues of building vacancy in Richmond by observing the history of the Central National Bank and its current state of decay and disuse. Lighting design in the space is compo...sed with respect to the building's architectural features, history, and deterioration. The project's sound design is composed of natural audio recorded at the Bank in 2011, and of local popular music recorded in Richmond in 1929.
Once Richmond's tallest building, the twenty three story Central National Bank stood as a testament to Richmond's economic strength during America's Depression. Built in 1929 to provide needed office space and draw new businesses to the heart of the city, it became the pulse of a bustling Virginia economy.
Times changed and the city shifted. The skyscraper now stands vacant (along with 2,400 other structures), with rich history and potential, visible to nearly all of Richmond.
The VACANCY Project is a collaboration between sculptor Joshua Bennett and sound artist John Dombroski, undergraduate students who received a research grant from the VCU School of the Arts supporting the project.
Aerojet-General second stage being hoisted into position on 8/4/57. On the TV-2 vehicle, only the first stage ( Martin-built modified Viking rocket ) was fully functional. In the second and third stages, only a few systems were active. The stages were weight and balance correct, but inert. Glenn L. Martin Co. Photo.

Forth will be another B&W . August 2023.
On top of all that every month will feature a small set of 4 pics with different themes.
As you can see I shall be a busy Bunny!.
Hope you like the stuff!!!!!!!.
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.

A coastal resiliency project, funded by the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund, aims to reduce shoreline erosion on a tidal marsh area located on the west side of the Verrazano Bridge, adjacent to the park’s boat ramp and fishing pier.
The project seeks to construct a series of 10 headland structures to dissipate wave energy created during large coastal storm events. The nature-based structures will consist of boulders, cobble and clean sand, which will then be planted with native wetland vegetation.
