This, now disused, Italianate sewage pumping station is alongside the Chesterfield canal in Worksop. It really is a very imposing construction and is in excellent condition, I hope another use can be found for the building as it would be a shame to lose it.

The strip of open canal stream disappears under a road and enters this huge Red-Brick Pipe, absolutely enormous in size!

A castle of labour
At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture.
Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil (art nouveau) doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.
Sunnycroft, located on the outskirts of Wellington in Shropshire, is a rare surviving example of a Victorian suburban villa. It was built 1880 and extended in 1899. The house remained in the same family, until its handing over to the National Trust in 1997. Sunnycrofts character and intimacy comes from it remaining complete with its original interior fixtures and fittings. Pictured: Bedroom with its original wallpaper, tiles and fireplace.
We visited the castle on a very hot day and spent most of the time in the welcome shade of the surrounding park.
Herstmonceux Castle is a brick-built Tudor castle near Herstmonceux, East Sussex, England. From 1957 to 1988 its grounds were the home of the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Today it is used by the Bader International Study Centre of Queen's University, Canada.
Herstmonceux Castle is one of the oldest significant brick buildings still standing in England; brick was an unusual material for the time in Britain. The builders of Herstmonceux Castle concentrated more on grandeur and comfort than on defence.
As I cut through a small back alley in downtown Grimsby, Ontario yesterday morning, I spotted an early morning sunbeam glancing onto a red brick wall. Accenting the simple composition was a black security camera. A very simple composition. And doubtless my efforts have been recorded for posterity. And, of course, Red Rule applies. - JW

I didn't know what this building was when I thought of the title but this is the home of the Department for Work and Pensions, Wear View House, 1 Eden Street, West Sunderland SR1 3EY. The office for Universal Penury.

Students in association with Audubon's Strawberry Plains are currently excavating the remains of seven share cropper homes found on the Strawberry Plains property.
The sites are being examined for their historical significance. The structures are thought to be as old as the late 1800s, and as recent as the early 1900s.
