The Bairnsdale courthouse in the state of Victoria is one of best examples of late 19th century colonial architecture in Australia.
Kitaiskaya, Russian Concession
This wedge-shaped redbrick corner building occupies a block in the former Russian Concession and is believed to have been erected as a residential block by a successful Russian tea merchant after whom it is now known. However, to me this does not sound like a Russian name, most probably the Chinese name adopted by or given to the Russian merchant, given the difficulty in being able to properly pronounce the Slavic original.
The building can be clearly seen in an old post card www.flickr.com/photos/aaronhuixin/3136887975 - which can be seen in the flickr pages of Aaron Jang. It would appear that the top floor was added later to provide additional accommodation - a feature found in many old buildings in China.
Because of "tree issues" - I was unable to replicate the earlier photo. It now continues to be used partially as apartments but now also houses a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Can't help thinking that the original top corner room with French windows opening to balconies on three sides would have been an airy treat to have lived in.
Scott St, Newcastle.
The redbrick, Dutch-gabled, Baroque fantasy was designed by the prominent German-born Newcastle architect, Frederick Menkens. The ornamentation and oriel windows are in stone. Originally built for Joseph Wood, a successful local mine merchant and brewer, "Wood's Chambers" housed both “superior office accommodation and wine auction premises”. The building was regarded as Menkens' finest creations and reflecting this pride in his handiwork, Menkens practised here from a first floor office from 1893 until his retirement in 1908.
The building was subsequently acquired by mining industrialist William Longworth in the 1920s and was renamed 'Longworth House'. It was here from 16 March 1928 that Lonsworth hosted meetings of the Australasian Society of Patriots, providing a lecture hall, museum, art gallery and of all things, a herbarium. During this time, the building became commonly known as the 'Empire Club'. During WWII, it accommodated a canteen and meeting place in town for RAAF servicemen from their base in Williamtown and became known as the 'Air Force Club'. The dwindling number of Society members later forced the sale of the building in 1947 and it continued to operate as the Air Force Club until it closed and lay in vacant disrepair for many years.
Happily, the building was renovated and reopened in 2009 as Longworth House and according to its own website, it is:-
"Perfect for a unique wedding reception venue in the heart of Newcastle, Longworth House occupies an elegant and versatile space, overflowing with grace and charm. The ideal, inner-city function venue for a wedding, business function, corporate event, charity ball or private party".
Kentwell - a very different experience: a romantic, completely moated, mellow redbrick Tudor mansion in a tranquil parkland setting - but so much more.
A 30+ years Restoration Project
In 1970 Kentwell stood neglected. No-one was prepared to take it on - except Patrick Phillips. He fell for this wonderful House in its magical setting and was not deterred by its condition. Ever since then he has, with his wife and family, sought to bring Kentwell back to life. Their works have taken part of the House and its 15th Century Service Building back to the 16th Century. Elsewhere changes reflect their own preferences. House, Gardens & Farm have an unrivalled ability to captivate the visitor.
Take a glimpse into both the past and present of this unique House. Enjoy its delightful Gardens. You can do this whenever you come but especially if you visit during one of the award-winning Re-Creations of Tudor or WWII Everyday Life and (recently) Victorian life. Kentwell pioneered Tudor domestic Living History Events in the UK, and nearly 30 years on the Re-Creations are as magical as ever.
Guild News, the student newspaper founded in 1936 and which changed its name to Redbrick in 1962, continued to be published throughout the war, though in a shorter format and fortnightly rather than weekly. Wartime issues are a useful source for the study of how the University and its students reacted to the conflict. This issue, from February 1942, provides information about some of the different areas of war work that students were involved in, including ‘post blitz’ relief work

A morning walk around Earlswood Lakes in Solihull.
Earlswood Lakes is the modern name for three man-made reservoirs which were built in the 1820s at Earlswood in Warwickshire, England, to supply water to the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. They still supply the canal, and also provide leisure facilities, including sailing, fishing and walking. The northern banks of the lakes form the county boundary with the West Midlands.
The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal runs from Kings Norton Junction, where it joins the Worcester and Birmingham Canal to Stratford-upon-Avon, where it joins the River Avon, with a junction about halfway along at Kingswood, where it joins the Grand Union Canal. The initial 9.75 miles (15.6 km) to Hockley Heath is level, but after that, the canal drops through 55 locks on its way to Stratford-upon-Avon. In order to supply water to the system, the Earlswood Lakes were constructed in the 1820s. Construction took nearly 5 years to complete, and the labour force included prisoners of war from the Napoleonic wars. Some people say that lying at the bottom of all the lakes are the dead bodies of people who died while being forced to make the pools and they had no place to be buried so they were left there, either in groups or alone. Also the cost of construction was £297,000.
Being so near to Birmingham, the lakes proved attractive to visitors from the city from the early 1900s, and their popularity has been maintained, with recent improvements to the facilities which they provide. The Lakes railway station was built to bring tourists to the area and is on the Birmingham to Stratford line.
The three reservoirs are called Engine Pool, Windmill Pool and Terry's Pool, and a Grade II listed engine house is located beside the Engine Pool. The lakes cover 25 acres (10 ha), 25 acres (10 ha) and 20 acres (8.1 ha) respectively. The lakes are fed by tributaries of the River Blythe, and in turn outfall into that river also.

Was short on time today but still wanted to photograph something. Got something better planned for next day or 2.
Jordan Rd, Kowloon.
At a time when being Anglican equated to being part of the British colonial establishment, the Union Church was founded on the principle that Christians of all denominations and nationalities could worship together. The ecumenical or non-denominational movement in Christianity was popular in the post-WWI period and provided an alternative Christian form of worship to the perhaps stricter traditions.
Incorporated in 1927 under Hong Kong's laws, s.8 of the Kowloon Union Church Incorporation Ordinance provides that:-
"The services at the Kowloon Union Church shall be regulated and conducted in accordance with the constitution of the said Church and in such manner as to provide that fellowship in public worship and in spiritual communion and service which is the privilege and usance of all Christians and to spread the knowledge of the purpose of God in Jesus Christ and to unite in fellowship Christians of various denominations and of different countries in the worship of God in accordance with the principles and usages of Protestant Evangelical Christians."
The foundation-stone of the Kowloon Union Church was laid on 27 May 1930 by the then Colonial Secretary Sir Wilifred T. Southorn and the Church was completed and opened on 10 April 1931. This redbrick church continues to function in its original purpose.

14-15c Church of St John the Baptist Denham Norfolk - there was a church here mentioned in 1086 Domesday . It stands in an isolated spot on the site of a previous 12c -13c building.
Nave (with outward bowing walls), chancel, Victorian vestry and redbrick entrance porch.
Clearly visable on the north side is the blocked arch to a demolished north chapel described in 1731 as having 3 gravestones dedicated to the Bedingfields, the remnants of a screen with defaced angels, and stained glass windows.

A tower once set in the middle of the south wall according to a 1725 map, housed 3 bells. In 1744 a faculty was granted to sell two of the bells and use the money to take down the tower and put the building in good repair as well as building a place to hang the remaining bell. By 1747 the one remaining bell was housed in a cupola above the foreshortened west wall.
Outside, below the east window, is a Latin inscription from the previous church, the worn lettering translates “William de Kirksby, Prior of Norwich, placed me here, on whose soul God have mercy.” William was prior in the 1280/90's.
A late 13c lady of the Bedingfield family lies under a nave recess, angels supporting her head, her hands clasping a heart or reliquary.
In 1809 the building is described as “thoroughly repaired and neatly pewed,” . However sometime during the 19c the cupola was removed and replaced by a bell tower, but this fell down within living memory, and now the remaining bell inscribed AD1614 lies at the back of the church.
The building long neglected became desperately in need of help by 2007. The Friends of Denham Church Group, set up in 2009, organised a variety of events in their first year which has enabled them to donate £6,000 towards the repairs and with funds chiefly from English Heritage now well looked after.

The church dates from the eleventh century onwards, although the majority of the church is of redbrick from the 18th century when the stone church was clad in brick, and refenestrated in 1758. The brickwork has decorative features. The roof is of lead and slate.
There is a two stage western tower of redbrick, but at the base there are possible remains of Saxon work inside. The top of the tower has battlemented parapets. The inside of the tower has massive wooden trusses.
The nave has north and south aisles, with three bay arcades dating from the thirteenth century. Much of the interior is in the 18th century Gothick style.
The chancel arch has been replaced by an 18th century three bay screen with ogee arches and gilt decoration and finials. There is a Royal Coat of Arms above the screen.
The north aisle contains three old bells which are quite large for a small church. They were taken down around 1950 when considered unsafe.
The nave has several hatchments to the Clinton and Lievesey families. There is a vault and memorial slabs to the Clintons in the chancel.
At the south west end of the nave is a large ledger slab to John Eland d.1473, and his two wives.
The chancel is entered by three steps up from the nave, and is typically Georgian. The altar is another three steps higher and there is no east window.
The church was restored in 1891-2 by W. Scorer.
In the north aisle there is a small organ by Clark & Sons of Kirton Lindsey.

Redbrick Mill with the Cooperative Wholesale Society's water tank and chimney beyond still gives the valley an industrial feel even though none of the buildings are occupied by their original industries.

This well maintained little Pesbyterian Church built the turn of the last century still has worship every Sunday in Vankoughnet.
Revisiting old haunts today, only to be met by this sad sight - another of our city's many suburban public houses has shut down, after its transmogrification into a Chinese restaurant failed to keep the place going.
Pretty sure I never drank there, but knew it well as a kid since the nearby bus stop took its name from the pub - and, in the mid60s, aged 10 or 11, I'd be asking the conductor for a ticket to "The Mitre" five times a week!
The large site and adjacent bowling green may well be re-purposed, but one wonders what chance the building, a mock-Tudor erection of 1933, might have....
Oak trees.
The house I grew up in and still go back to is this colour of brick, and I’ve always loved it. Whatever becomes of my final destination of living space, I want one wall to be this type of exposed aged red brick and another of layered white oak.
Funnily enough, when I look at this brick it reminds me of trees, which is a really odd thing to say, but it does. It is because I would stare out on to a red oak tree from my homes sunroom everyday. I have the same fascination of trees as John Constable, and enjoy the eloquence of description by William Glipin (the Monty Don of trees in the 1700s) who called oaks the ‘Hercules of trees.’
Oaks produces acorns, can be down dressed or dressed up for your home, and make alcohol delicious in their aged barrels.
I think my all time favourite is the Anseman Oak or McDonogh Oak, followed by the English Oak (Quercus Robur or Pedunculate Oak), but I will take the simple bur oak too!
