Hunter St, Newcastle.
This utilitarian redbrick building accommodated retail premises on the ground floor as well as offices and warehousing for the eponymous company. Established in 1855, it was originally an importer, bringing manufactured English and European goods to the growing city of Newcastle. It would later develop to become merchants, importers and manufacturers and specialised in building material, ironmongery and shopfitting. The architect was the prolific German-born Frederick Menkens who designed many of the buildings in town at the time.
St Michaels and All Angels' War Memorial Hall is located at the rear on the northern side of the church.
The stone was set by the Ven. M.C.W. Gooden, Rector of Henley Beach on 17 December 1961, and the hall was opened and dedicated on 29 April 1962.
Melbourne Central is a shopping centre. They built the centre around this old tower, with a glass cone over it.
As an aside; today for the first time I realised that I am starting to think about how I frame shots. There were a couple of female tourists taking photos of Melbourne Central tower, but they were not pointing their cameras right up to the top, missing what I think is the best angle. As they didn't speak English, I demonstrated with my camera my suggested angle. They said "wow" and proceeded to snap away with their cameras.
The bright redbrick chimney still proudly displays the name of Murphy Machinery but its paintwork is rapidly fading and the sprawling green mass of foliage attacking the base of the rural mill is a poignant marker of its demise.

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.
From THC - Masur Hardware Building (119 W. San Antonio) ca. 1910. This building was originally built as a hardware store for the Masur family. On the south (main) facade this three-story brick corner building contains the original cast iron pilasters supporting the windows and recessed entrances of the first floor. The west facade contains four short round arched windows with fanlights and a segmental arched door with transom. Separated from the first floor by an unbroken corbelled brick stringcourse, the upper two floors are divided by brick pilasters into six bays on the south facade and eight bays on the west facade. The south facade displays round arched windows with fanlights, while segmental arched windows form the west openings. Decorative brick corbelling crowns each bay and alternating pilasters extend beyond the roofline.

During the gold rush that hit Ballarat in the 1850s the Government Camp provided medical support for the growing central Victorian community, but mainly for officers and not for miners and the general community who could not afford to pay for medical help. Those wounded at the Eureka Stockade in 1854 received varying attention and the need for a hospital became apparent. A year later building of a hospital commenced.
By 1899, the Ballarat Base Hospital had grown dramatically, becoming a building as grand as the gold rich city itself, built in Picturesque Gothic style popular in England in the late part of the Nineteenth Century which emerged as a romantic movement from picturesque architects such as John Nash (1752 – 1835). The Queen Victoria Women’s Ward overlooks Ballarat’s premier boulevard, Sturt Street. Built of red brick with stone detailing it has deeply recessed windows and Flemish Gothic Revival towers and long balconies of cast iron lacework. Interestingly out of character for the building’s overall design is its Romanesque colonnade of arches on the ground floor.
Today, the Ballarat Base Hospital is a regional hub for medical treatment and employs over 3,000 staff.
This is the appropriately named Grand Theatre in Llandudno in Wales, opened on Bank Holiday Monday, August 5th 1901. The architect was George A.

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.
