Built 1888 Architect - James Augustus Ellis .... Restoration work on the Campbell Block began more than a year ago, as the historic structure at the northwest corner of Dundas and Keele was carefully returned to something resembling its original state when it was first completed in 1888.

Malchin is a little town in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district, in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It offers some notable landmarks, such as two Brick Gothic town gates, a medieval defense tower, the Gothic town church of St. Johannis and the Neo Baroque town hall.[wikipedia]

I think this is a Church property on Marlborough St next to the Pro Cathedral. It's a fine brick building one of the few of this type remaining on this street. Photographed with the Holga on Ilford HP5.

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 (1893â1947) 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.

The Cowra Breakout and Cowra Japanese Relations.

George Evans pushed through this area on his way to the Lachlan River in 1815. The first white settlers moved into the Lachlan River valley in the mid-1830s and Cowra can trace its origins back to 1840. The town grew and today is the thriving centre of a horticultural region which produces fruit, wine, cereals and wool. During World War Two a prisoner of war camp for captured Japanese was established outside the town. All went well until in 1944 when 1,000 Japanese prisoners broke out of the camp. It was the biggest breakout in British and Australian history. The Cowra camp started in 1941 for Italian POWs. By 1944 the 2,000 Italians were joined by over 1,000 Japanese and the camp was terribly overcrowded. Over 1,100 men attempted to escape on 5 August. 234 Japanese and 5 Australians were killed. 108 Japanese men were wounded and another 331 escaped for up to nine days. News of the outbreak was suppressed and the death toll was not released until 1949. The POW site is now a NSW heritage site and on the register of the National Estate. In SA we had a similar camp at Loveday outside Barmera in the Riverland. At the Visitors Centre we will see a short hologram presentation on the breakout. It is unique and a delightful way to personalise the story of the breakout.

This massacre led to closer ties between Cowra and Japan after the War. In 1964 the Japanese government established the first and only Japanese War Cemetery in the world at Cowra on land cede to Japan. (All other Japanese soldier remains have been returned home to Japan). 523 Japanese soldiers are buried here mainly airmen shot down over Darwin and the NT during the war. The remains of 231 Japanese POWs from the Cowra Breakout were reinterred here and there is a small Japanese shrine here. Then in 1979 a famous Japanese garden designer created the Cowra Japanese garden across ten acres. The designer wanted the garden to be a symbol of goodwill and peace, whilst representing the varying landscapes of Japan- rivers, lakes, hills and Mt Fuji itself. It includes a Tea House, a Bonsai House, and a pottery room. The café here serves Australian and Japanese food and sells Japanese cultural items and souvenirs. Later in 1991 Cowra planted its Cherry Tree Avenue which leads from the town to the POW camp site. At the camp site there is a memorial to the Italians who were imprisoned there during world War Two. In 1992 Cowra received the Peace Bell which is a replica of the one that hangs at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Peace Bell commemorates Cowra’s work in international peace. Among the heritage buildings of Cowra are: the Catholic Church in the Main Street. Built in 1938/39 in the inter war Romanesque style to a design by architects Scott & Green & Scott .Behind it is the 1861 Catholic church incorporated into the convent; on the next corner (Macquarie St) is the Presbyterian Church built in 1911 with the 1861 church behind it; Cowra Courthouse built in 1880 and heritage listed; the Reid Smith department store built in 1924.

I made this photo of a portion of a gigantic brick walled three story home while Melody and I were visiting a friend in San Francisco. We were sitting in a patio area at the lower level of her three story home. During our time outdoors, I shot a few photos using the articulating live view monitor on my Canon Powershot SX50. I mentioned to the owner of the home that her home had lots of bricks. She told me the bricks were a facade that a friend had installed on the original outer walls. Looked go to me.

Gustav Adolf Church or the Scandinavian Seamen's Church is a historical building located in Park Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It consists of a church, built between 1883 and 1884, and an attached minister's house, and provides a centre for the Liverpool International Nordic Community.The combined church and minister's house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

During the later part of the 19th century, large numbers of Scandinavian emigrants were passing though Liverpool, and there was a need to serve their spiritual needs. The first Scandinavian priest was appointed in 1870, who visited the emigrants in ships and boarding houses. There was perceived to be a need for a permanent centre. The commission to design a church and minister's house was gained by W. D. Caroe, whose father, Anders Kruuse Caroe, was the Danish Consul in the city. It was Caroe's first independent commission to design a church.[3] Building started in 1883 and was completed the following year, at a cost of £15,000 (equivalent to £1,430,000 in 2016).

One of the city’s most recognisable landmarks welcomes the public to enjoy the University’s rich and varied fine art, ceramics, and heritage collections.

Highlights include artworks by Joseph Wright of Derby, JMW Turner and Lucien Freud, plus an early 20th century dental surgery and an unusual collection of skulls and skeletons, though the Grade II listed building designed by Alfred Waterhouse, itself warrants far more than a passing glance

The building – which coined the term ‘redbrick university’ – opened in 1892.

Illuminated dramatically under the sodium glow of streetlights, this photograph captures the massive, enduring structure of a historic warehouse at San Francisco's Pier 70. The scene is set early morning, lending the industrial architecture a powerful, almost theatrical presence. The building's core material is a warm, aged red-orange brick, which has been spotlit to emphasize its rough, textured surface and the vertical lines formed by the pilasters.

The most dominant feature of the façade is the series of monumental, repeating arched windows. These are not small openings, but enormous semi-circular bays filled with meticulous black metal gridwork, showcasing the original engineering necessary to light the massive interior workshops. The grid structure, visible against the illuminated white walls inside, creates a sharp, graphic contrast to the soft texture of the exterior brick. The arched form is repeated down the length of the building, creating an impressive sense of scale and rhythmic pattern.

The lighting plays a crucial role in the composition. Warm light spills out from small ground-level entrances and is cast downward by overhead streetlamps, creating deep shadows that heighten the building's three-dimensional relief. The empty asphalt street in the foreground features clearly marked white lines indicating "PERMIT PARKING ONLY," grounding the historic scene in the present-day reality of the busy urban district. The entire structure feels like a powerful, solid remnant of the city's industrial past, beautifully preserved and given new life. This early morning view transforms the utilitarian factory wall into a magnificent display of structural resilience and historic brick artistry.
