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.
Boarded up and decaying - Two rows of 1930's redbrick terraces, facing the A38 Flyover in Patchway. The owners of the garage next door have almost realised there 30+ year dream of demolishing these houses and building a car park - what they described as 'one of the most expensive car parks ever'. In 2008 when the Google Street View car drove past these houses, including this one, still appeared lived in and habitable. However in a bid to push the last resident out, and convince the council that demolition was necessary, they were left by the garage in the most appalling state. Soon they fell into the hands of vandals and arsonists. This house was very badly fire damaged at some point.
In the weeks and months after this photo was taken I noticed somebody had fly tipped a huge pile of waste in this front garden, so it was almost impossible to stand where this picture was taken. In March 2012 the final resident left his house and the terraces were pulled down in August 2012.

"Samuel Wilderspin (1792, London – 1866) was an English educationist known for his pioneering work on infant schools. His belief was that a child should be encouraged to learn through experience, and to development in feelings as well as intellect. His work provided the model for infant schools in Europe and North America.
Wilderspin was apprenticed as a clerk in the City of London, but later trained in infant education. He became the master of his own infant school in Spitalfields, and published On the Importance of Educating the Infant Poor in 1823, based on his experiences there. He began working for the Infant School Society the next year, informing others about his views on education. His approach to schooling as necessary for a socially and morally prepared child was informed by his Swedenborgianism.
Play was an important part of Wilderspin's system of education, and he is credited with the invention of the playground. He also ran a company supplying apparatus for playground activities." (Wikipedia)
Several hundred schools were founded by Wilderspin throughout the United Kingdom. However, Queen Street School in Barton-upon-Humber is the only known surviving school built to his designs. It was completed in 1845, and Wilderspin himself taught at the school for several years before retiring in 1848.

This is a handsome redbrick Victorian corner pub was originally the Ice Hotel - at a time when huge blocks of ice taken from American lakes were shipped to Australia to provide cooling for food preservation. It seems bizarre that such an industry existed, transporting ever-dwindling ice blocks across the world without refrigeration or air-conditioning. To preserve the ice, it was packed in sawdust for insulation but it is reckoned that only 40% of the ice arrived at its destination intact.
The hotel was renamed the Beauchamp in 1900 after the then Governor of NSW, William Lygon, the 7th Earl of Beauchamp (pronounced 'Beecham' in the English way). Beauchamp was later revealed to be a homosexual - a crime at the time - and upon reflection, his written enthusiasm for the physical qualities of Sydney lifesavers and his wild parties clearly gave it away before he was outed. After some years derelict, the pub is now revamped, trendy and definitely not old school. In a perhaps fitting twist, it is now popular amongst the very people that Beauchamp would have once admired and loved.

This section of Michigan Avenue at 14th is anchored by the very popular barbecue restaurant, Slow's.
After walking round the churchyard at Hurworth I spotted this in the old wall at the far end of the churchyard. Strange.
Through autumn foliage, the warm glow of Sunrise is reflected on this old-painted, red brick wall advertising, Omaha, Nebraska. Historic A.K. Riley Building built 1889, now home to Pinnacle Bank, 1014 Douglas Street, Omaha.
This building has been a real challenge for me to get a shot I like. Redone again. I like this better, but someday, I'm going to get a good shot of this..
The iconic redbrick and ironwork of Annandale Depot catches the early evening light, revealing textures in the walls, cobbles, and old lampposts. Quiet and still, this historic exterior corner of Edinburgh tells its own story away from the depot’s usual bustle.
With bright surroundings casting natural light across the scene, each detail, from the black drainpipes to the weathered cobbles, stands out sharply. A slice of Edinburgh heritage, frozen for a moment in luminous clarity.

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).
