Hadleigh has many claims to English historical importance.
According to wikipedia, Wat Tyler, before leading the peasants' revolt, lived in the town for 20 years working as a tiler.
It is another place to visit for well preserved older buildings, as it was another town that grew from its involvement in the wool and weaving industries during medieval times.

The Copper King Mansion, also known as the W. A. Clark Mansion, is a 34-room residence of Romanesque Revival Victorian architecture that was built from 1884 to 1888 as the Butte, Montana, residence of William Andrews Clark, one of Montana's three famous Copper Kings. The home features fresco painted ceilings, elegant parquets of rare imported wood, gas and electric chandeliers, ornate hand-carved fireplaces and stairways, and stained-glass windows. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. (70000366)
The Copper King Mansion has been privately owned, operated, and occupied by the Cote family since 1953. The home is operated as a bed and breakfast. Guided tours are available during the summer tourist season, or by appointment during the winter months. The home underwent restoration in 2012.
The building of the Copper King Mansion is described in the bestselling biography of Clark's daughter, Huguette, Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr. (Wikipedia)

View on the buildings of the old flax factory in my hometown and the small water reservoir on the Pisia river:)
Żyrardów - small town in Central Poland, located in the Mazovia region. It owes its unique atmosphere to the characteristic architecture of an industrial town. The original spatial layout of the community, which grew around a manufacturing plant in the mid-19th century, has been preserved to the present day. The historic center of Żyrardów (mostly buildings from red bricks) is the only industrial architecture complex from the turn of the 20th c. in Europe that has been preserved to modern times in full. The old settlement covers a 76-ha area in the central part of the town. Diversified architectural forms and styles characterize the city, which has resulted from the multi-cultural character of Żyrardów. The flax trade gave the town its origins. A factory manufacturing flax that was one of the largest and modern factories in Europe was established there in 1829. Karol Dittrich and Karol Hielle, two industrialists from Germany, founded the plant. The town derives its name from the first technical director of the plant, Philip de Girard who, among others, invented a mechanical flax-spinning machine.

Widok na budynki dawnej żyrardowskiej fabryki wyrobów lniarskich oraz niewielki zbiornik wodny na rzeczce Pisi:)
Żyrardów leży w centrum Polski, na Mazowszu. Swój niepowtarzalny klimat zawdzięcza charakterystycznej architekturze miasta zaprojektowanej w połowie XIX stulecia. Zabytkowe centrum Żyrardowa jest jedynym w Europie zachowanym w całości zespołem urbanistyczno-architektonicznym miasta przemysłowego przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Osada fabryczna obejmuje centralną część miasta o powierzchni ok. 76 ha. Charakteryzuje ją różnorodność form architektonicznych i stylów, co wynika ze zróżnicowania narodowościowego mieszkańców Żyrardowa. Początek miastu dała fabryka lniarska, która powstała na terenie dzisiejszego Żyrardowa w 1829 roku. Była to jedna z największych i najnowocześniejszych fabryk ówczesnej Europy. Została założona przez dwóch przemysłowców z Niemiec: Karola Dittricha i Karola Hielle. Żyrardów zawdzięcza swą nazwę pierwszemu dyrektorowi technicznemu fabryki, Philipowi de Girard. Był on m.in. wynalazcą maszyny do mechanicznego przędzenia lnu.

Fall in Union Park in the South End of Boston. Shot with Sony a6000 & Sigma 19mm lens, and processed in Lightroom. I posted a version of this photo awhile ago, but in this one I have emphasized more the bright colors and the contrast between the red brick and yellow leaves. You can see both versions side by side in my post processing comparisons album.

The biggest church in my hometown, lit by the sun in the hot Summer day :)
Holy Mother of consolation Parish Church - It's the biggest church in town. It was founded by the Sobański Family and Karol Dittrich and built from 1900 to 1903. It was designed in neogothic style and it's standing on the central square of my hometown. The church was patterned on Koln Basilica (eightfold lowered) and it has two 70 meters tall towers. The interior is decorated with the flowery motifs of stain glass windows made by Franciszek Białkowski according to the design attributed to Józef Mehoffer. The church furnishings refer to the gothic style.

Największy kościół w Żyrardowie oświetlony ciepłym letnim słońcem :)
Kościół Farny pw. Matki Bożej Pocieszenia - zbudowany w centrum miasta, w latach 1900 - 1903 z fundacji rodziny Sobańskich i Karola Dittricha. Zaprojektowany przez Józefa Piusa Dziekońskiego w stylu neogotyckim. Kościół wzorowany był na bazylice w Kolonii (ośmiokrotnie pomniejszony), posiada dwie strzeliste 70-cio metrowe wieże. We wnętrzu znajdują się piękne secesyjne witraże przedstawiające kwiaty polskie (słoneczniki, maki, chabry, lilie, malwy i chryzantemy), wykonane w pracowni Franciszka Białkowskiego, prawdopodobnie według projektu Józefa Mehoffera. Wyposażenie kościoła utrzymane jest w stylu gotyckim.
This is some random shot probably in Hamilton ON. I like the city of Hamilton. It has so many different looks.

The small lighthouse in Ustka, Poland :)
The lighthouse is an obligatory part of every stroll around Ustka’s harbour. This small structure rises close by the harbour entrance, at the end of the promenade. It was built in 1892 as a tower near the pilot station building due to the great difficulty of navigation at the harbour entrance in Ustka in poor weather conditions. The lighthouse is 22.3 m high and has a range of 18 nautical miles.
Ustka is a town in the Middle Pomerania region of northwestern Poland. The first settlers arrived at Ustka as early as the 9th century, and established a fishing settlement with the original name of Ujść. The area at the mouth of the river Słupia was ceded to the town of Słupsk in 1337 with the purpose of building a fishing harbour and a commercial port there to the Baltic Sea. The town was given to Brandenburg-Prussia as part of the Duchy of Pomerania after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. On August 1, 1945, the city became part of Poland with the agreement at the Potsdam Conference.
Ustka is a popular tourist destination and a fishing port on the south coasts of the Baltic. For a number of years, following the political changes in Poland, the town has won a string of local awards for the best summer place in the country. The most important monuments in the town: a lighthouse built in 1892, Main Post Office from 1875 and church from 1882.

Latarnia morska w Ustce :)
Latarnia morska to obowiązkowy punkt na trasie spaceru po usteckim porcie. Budynek latarni znajduje się w pobliżu wejścia do portu, na końcu spacerowej promenady. Latarnia została wybudowana w roku 1892, jako wieża przy budynku przeznaczonym na stację pilotową, z uwagi na bardzo dużą trudność żeglugi wejścia do portu w Ustce przy niesprzyjającej pogodzie. Latarnia ma wysokość 22,3m i zasięg światła 18mil morskich.
Ustka jest położona na Wybrzeżu Słowińskim, u ujścia rzeki Słupi do Morza Bałtyckiego. Jest miastem portowym, uzdrowiskiem z 2 letnimi kąpieliskami morskimi. Pierwsza informacja o istnieniu warowni w miejscu ujścia Słupi pochodzi z 1337r. W 1648 traktat pokojowy i dodatkowe uzgodnienia w 1653 przyporządkowały wschodnią część Pomorza Zachodniego, a więc i Ustkę, pod zwierzchnictwo Brandenburgii. Po II wojnie światowej Ustka została zwrócona Polsce na mocy postanowień konferencji poczdamskiej. Najważniejszymi zabytkami w mieście są: latarnia morska z 1892r., budynek poczty głównej z 1875r. oraz kościół z 1882r.
The Hurstbourne Viaduct, also known as the "Nine Arches," is a historic red brick railway bridge between Whitchurch and Andover in Hampshire, England, built by the London & South Western Railway (LSWR) in 1854 over the River Swift (or Bourne), designed by Joseph Locke for the West of England Main Line, offering scenic views and still used by modern trains today, featuring nine impressive arches and conveniently accessible from a public road.
