Been a long time since anyone climbed or descended these. The headstones at the top were stained and moss covered. Shame really.
Cat on the window, catching the sun in last warm Autumn days... Taken in my hometown, Żyrardów (Poland).
Thank you very much for the visit and comments. Cheers.

One of God's most interesting creatures, the dragonfly. Got lucky and it landed on the brick of the house.
In Maizuru City, there are many red brick structures that were built between the Meiji Period and the Taisho Period since the opening of the former Navy Maizuru Shrine Office in 1901. This red brick warehouse group is one of Japan's most valuable historical brick buildings, with 8 out of 12 buildings designated as important national cultural properties.
When you come here, you can imagine the time and feel the history.
Le bâtiment est construit entre 1865 et 1867, par l'entrepreneur Calmel, sous le contrôle de l'architecte de la ville. Des rénovations sont exécutées en 1912. En 1962, la halle est modifiée, agrandie aux deux extrémités et sur la place, avec ajout de boutiques : l'élévation sur le Lot est conservée et augmentée sur les côtés, les autres élévations sont refaites en brique, et la travée monumentale est supprimée.
Found hibernating in the front porch behind a hung up coat. There was a smaller group, too. Unfortunately this group contains lots of 'Harlequins'.
Terracotta build date on the Simms Reeve intitute at Brancaster. The building is named after the man who was Lord of the Manor in the later years of the nineteenth century.

Part of the building of an old Resursa (merchant club), cultural and social institution run in an English way. It was built about 1870. and it became a seat of Żyrardów Factory joint-Stock Company Officials' Association. The Club was a venue for social events such as: dances, concerts, theatre shows, occasional balls and lectures. In the beautiful ballroom there are some colorfull frescoes. In last years the building was restored and now there are some representative rooms (for ex. theatrical-dance room) and The Centre of the Cultural Information.
Fragment budynku dawnej resursy. Była to placówka kulturalna urządzona na wzór klubów angielskich. Zbudowana ok. 1870r. Mieściło się tu Zrzeszenie Urzędników Towarzystwa Akcyjnego Zakładów Żyrardowskich. Wnętrza zostały urządzone z wyjatkowym przepychem, zwłaszcza piękna sala balowa zdobiona złoceniami i barwnymi malowidłami ściennymi. Odbywały się tu m.in. przedstawienia teatralne, odczyty i zabawy okolicznościowe. W ostatnich latach miała miejsce rewaloryzacja budynku resursy i kręgielni oraz ich adaptacja na cele kulturalno-artystyczne i dziś mieści się tam m.in. Centrum Informacji Turystycznej i Kulturalnej.

Culver House, 412 W. Prairie Avenue in Decatur, Illinois, a beautiful redbrick Queen Ann style home, took 20 years to be built. John and Florence Culver began construction in 1881 and it wasn’t finished until 1901. John H. Culver was a prominent local businessman who owned an electric and telephone company. Shortly after his family moved in, it experienced an frightening event when a dark figure emerged from the fireplace. This unsettling apparition appeared during a spate of sightings of a “black ghost” in the area. Ever since, the house has a reputation for being haunted. The Historic Decatur Foundation has worked hard to restore it to its former glory.
Quarry Bank Mill
The mill is situated next to the River Bollin in the village of Styal. It was founded by Samuel Greg in 1784 for the spinning of cotton, by the time of his retirement in 1832, it was the largest cotton spinning business in the United Kingdom. Originally powered by a water wheel, in the 19th century, this was supplemented by steam engines as the water from the river was often too low during the summer months.
This is the boiler used to create the steam to power the machinery. The boiler was made at the The Oldham Wellington Boiler Works in Stockport in 1880.
Advertised as the sole boiler makers in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire with the Mirfin and Neild’s patent combustion chambered boilers, and Holdens patent assisted draught furnace and a smoke consumer, the boilers were ‘always ready for delivery’. The standard steam boiler came with 100lb working pressure. The telegraphic address should you require one is “Boilers” Oldham, and the telephone No. 16 Oldham.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
In the late nineteenth century, the Anglican Church began to make concerted efforts to minister to the poor rural communities of the Sussex Weald: redbrick mission rooms, churches and chapels sprung up in even the most isolated places, attended by families of farmers, woodsmen, bodgers and wood-colliers. Many of these communities were also miles from the nearest school and there was a pressing need, especially after the Elementary Education Act of 1870, to provide adequate schooling. Where children were too few to justify a board school, the Church typically filled the gaps, teaching basic reading, writing, arithmetic and religious instruction.
It was against this background that William Townley Mitford (1817-1889), Member of Parliament for Midhurst and Squire of nearby Pitshill House paid for a dual-purpose church and school to be built at Bedham. The modest brick building, dedicated to St. Michæl and All Angels, was built in a hollow below the road on a northwest-southeast alignment. A plaque on the north-west wall states that:
"FOR THE WORSHIP OF ALMIGHTY GOD/ IN GRATITUDE FOR MANY BLESSINGS/ THIS BUILDING WAS ERECTED BY/ WM. TOWNLEY MITFORD, OF PITSHILL/ ANNO DOMINI 1880."
During the school week, the building was divided in two by a curtain separating infants from seniors; every Friday afternoon, the chairs and desks would be turned to face the altar ready for Sunday service. Worship was led by the Rector of nearby Fittleworth with the master of Fittleworth School serving both as lay reader and headmaster. Despite the two annual maintenance visits from Mitford's own carpenters, by 1913 the school was found to be in 'a very unsatisfactory state' with 'defective lighting and ventilation' and the girls' earth closet 'very offensive indeed.' Due to a falling rural population, the school closed in 1925, but the building continued in regular use as a church for a further thirty years. The congregation was never a large one and with the demise of the charcoal industry and the effects of two world wars attendance declined to almost nothing: the last wedding held here was in 1959 and there is no record of any later services.
Bedham itself lies deep within the Western Weald, a tiny hamlet of no more than a handful of houses once inhabited by farmers and charcoal burners. Its tranquility made it a retreat for several artists, writers and composers in the nineteenth and early twentieth Centuries including Rex Vicat Cole (1870-1940), Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Stella Bowen (1893–1947) and Ford Maddox Ford (1873-1939).
The church and surrounding land are now part of a 395 acre nature reserve which is open to the public.
