The Grade II Listed Vesey Manor, 62 and 64, Birmingham Road, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, West Midlands.
The building dates from 1530 with modern alterations. Sandstone, modern pantiled roof with redbrick chimneystacks, 3 plain gables with finials. 2 storeys, 3 light wood casement windows, ground floor pair of 5 light C19 bay windows. Pair of adjacent stoneporches, each with 4 centred arch, pentice lead roof.
Located in the Mare Island Naval Shipyard (now closed) in Vallejo, CA. The shipyard is on the National Register #75002103 and also is a National Historic Landmark.
A small wooden Norman chapel was known on the site before 1175, probably built for one of the de Bromwich family. However, it is believed that a house of worship has existed here for more than 2000 years. The chapel was remade of stone in the 12th century, possibly earlier. In the 15th century the Norman chapel had a large half timbered structure and wooden tower added to the west end, probably by a member of the Devereux family.
The present church was extensively altered between 1726 and 1731 by Sir John Bridgeman II to give an English Renaissance, neo-classical, style. The new brick tower was built first in 1725, a little way away from the existing main church.
The Hall and Church were then rebuilt using bricks made of local Castle Bromwich clay, fired close by. It is thought that the architect was Thomas White of Worcester. The old timber church was now encased in brick and plaster. The massive oak timbers still carry the roof trusses, both of which can only be seen in the roof now as a flat ceiling was also built. It is therefore unusual and unique, as it is a "church within a church", a Norman and medieval church within a Georgian one. The circular plastered pillars inside the church cover 20 inch square 23 feet high solid oak timbers, which stand on stone piers. Until 1878, the church was a chapel to Castle Bromwich Hall, the adjacent Jacobean mansion, and part of the large Aston Parish. It then became the Parish Church of Castle Bromwich. Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens surround the Hall. The North Garden has double iron gates, which lead to the Church grounds.
The large redbrick building on this corner site (almost adjacent to the old "Compasses" pub) is 2 Upper King Street, nowadays a bar/restaurant - "Mr Postle's Apothecary".
In such a prominent location, on the edge of Tombland, and on the way to the cathedral, the pavement was too narrow for a standard, so the tramwires were attached to the building.
This was most likely NCO housing.
These have been adaptiviely reused for small businesses.

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.

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.
In the Shell County Guide for Essex, John Betjeman waxed lyrical about the county's many brick-towered churches - "Bonfire red!" he described them. Here's an intriguing example, St. Peter and Paul, at St. Osyth. Compared with other bonfire-red towers, such as at Ingatestone and Rochford, this one is fairly squat. Perhaps this was dictated by the village's marshy location. There is ample evidence that the church needed further buttressing in the subsequent years.

The shop on which this clock tower stands was built in Greenfield Village in 1931. Henry Ford acquired the clock tower from a five-story building in London, England. Sir John Bennett was a clock, watch and jewelry maker. The figures poised to strike the bells represent Gog and Magog, the legendary protectors of Britain.
This Gothic-style redbrick structure, portions of which date from 1837, once served as the local prison. Over the years, it was home to some of Finland’s most famous criminals, including two former prime ministers.
A redbrick manor house decorated with stone dressings, Le Clos-Luce was acquired by Charles VIII in 1490. He had a small chapel built for his queen, Anne of Brittany.
In 1516, Francois I invited Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise and lodged him at Le Clos-Luce where the great Renaissance man lived until his death on May 2, 1519 at the age of 67.
The basement houses the museum of da Vinci's "fabulous machines" which displays a collection of models of the machines invented by the fertile genius who was a painter, sculptor, musician, poet, architect, engineer and scholar, and was four centuries ahead of his time.
