This is a re-worked version of an earlier image. Middlesbrough and Stockton Corporation both bought small batches of Leyland Panther Cubs, which may have passed to Cleveland Transit on its formation in 1974 (clarification welcome). The Panther Cub was a shorter and more robust version of the Panther, which was plagued by structural problems, particularly on dual-door buses. This fictional image, which is based on Chesterfield Corporation ENU 93H, supposes that Transit had inherited some of the problematic Panthers, in this case with Northern Counties bodies (updated 25-May-24).

The Helix, Falkirk
I've seen many images of the Kelpies here on Flickr and wanted to visit them myself, so when the opportunity arose during our mini-break to Queensferry and Edinburgh this bank holiday it was duly programmed into the sat-nav as they are only a short drive away (5 miles) from the Falkirk Wheel.
I must say that I have reservations about "modern art" and often consider the "art part" is convincing people that it is art. However, I found these incredibly impressive art installations and worthy of the stop-off. My only gripe about our visit is the inconsiderate maintenance crew that left two cherry pickers parked right against one of the sculptures with the cage strategically placed under the horse's nose over the bank holiday weekend. I think the most skilled Photoshop exponent would have difficulty removing them. Certainly beyond my capabilities and hence my chicken's approach to simply hiding them from view.
The origins of the Kelpies...
The Kelpies are a pair of 30m high horse-head sculptures built of structural steel with a stainless steel cladding. They stand next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near the River Carron, in The Helix - a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013 and following installation opened to the public in April 2014. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
The name was chosen by Scottish Canals at the inception of The Helix project, in 2005. The Kelpies name reflected the mythological transforming beasts possessing the strength and endurance of 10 horses; a quality that is analogous with the transformational change and endurance of Scotland's inland waterways. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coal ships that shaped the geographical layout of the Falkirk area.
According to sculptor Andy Scott, "The original concept of mythical water horses was a valid starting point for the artistic development of the structures." He also said that he “took that concept and moved with it towards a more equine and contemporary response, shifting from any mythological references towards a socio-historical monument intended to celebrate the horse’s role in industry and agriculture as well as the obvious association with the canals as tow horses”. In 2008 Scott created three-metre-high miniature versions in his Glasgow studio. These were then scanned by lasers to help the steel fabricators create accurate full-scale components.
According to Scott the end result would be "Water-borne, towering gateways into The Helix, the Forth and Clyde Canal and Scotland, translating the legacy of the area into proud equine guardians".

Gayle Mill, dating from about 1784, is thought to be the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence. It is located in the Wensleydale hamlet of Gayle, one mile south of the market town of Hawes. It lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and had become an important tourist attraction.
The Grade II* listed mill was built by local hosiers and land owners Oswald and Thomas Routh as a water-powered cotton mill, and was powered by a 22 feet diameter overshot waterwheel. It was turned over to flax and wool spinning by 1813 for the local knitting industry. For a period in the 19th century, it was used for domestic accommodation.
It was converted to a sawmill around 1879, powered by a double-vortex turbine, thought to be the only remaining working variety of its type. In its heydey, the turbine drove a range of woodworking machinery – a rack sawbench, circular saw, planer and lathes – by a series of belts and pulleys off a central line shaft.
Gayle Mill closed in 1988 after over a century of operation as a sawmill, and it seemed likely it would be converted into luxury flats. Following its successful appearance on BBC2's Restoration programme it was restored over four years at a cost of over £1m. Gayle Mill re-opened to the public in 2008.
Unfortunately it has now closed again for further repairs and is not due to re-open to the public until Easter 2019.

Sticking with this wonderful structural concrete spiral stair in the recently completed University of Oxford Blavatnik School of Government. Herzog & de Meuron buildings usually have great stairs and this one is no exception.
One of the most impressive things for budding Architects to note is how the light fittings appear to be wireless......

From Wikipedia : "The Blavatnik School of Government is located in the University of Oxford's Radcliffe Observatory Quarter on Woodstock Road, however its main entrance is on Walton Street. The building is designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron to promote open discussion, interaction and collaboration. The central forum is inspired by the idea of openness and transparency and connects all the floors together. Construction work started in autumn 2013, after some controversy, and ended in late 2015. The building is controlled by a combination of systems and technology that helps minimise its environmental impact.
The building is taller than Carfax Tower in the centre of Oxford, this dominating the site and causing opposition to the scheme by local residents in the Jericho district of the city and elsewhere. The site is immediately to the south of the café/bar Freud, in the historic 1836 Greek revival St Paul's Church on Walton Street. The scheme has been opposed by the cafe's owner, David Freud, due to its size compared to the church building. The site is also opposite the classical Oxford University Press building. In Spring 2013, a public meeting was held in St Barnabas Church and the building was described as "a concrete marshmallow".

Built in the 1920’s, the church suffered serious structural damage in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. To reinforce it and make it safe, modern flying buttresses we built around the building to help hold it up.
La plus vieille maison et le phare du site des Maisons de bouteilles (Bottle Houses), au 6891 Route 11, Cap-Egmont, Île-du-Prince-Édouard (Prince Edouard Island ou PEI), Canada.
Cette maison initialement construite en 1980, par Édouard T. Arsenault, a dû être reconstruite en 1995 suite à des dommages structuraux importants. Les maçons ont utilisé les mêmes quelques 12000 bouteilles qu’avait utilisées Édouard.
Inspiré par un attrait touristique construit en bouteilles sur l’île de Vancouver, Édouard T. Arsenault, pêcheur de métier et charpentier, a créé ce site qui regroupe aujourd’hui 3 bâtiments uniques faits de plus de 25 000 bouteilles de verre qui créent une symphonie de lumière et de couleurs. Édouard est mort en 1984 à l’âge de 70 ans. On y trouve aussi une bouteille géante de 13 pi de hauteur qui se dresse à l’entrée, un impressionnant jardin de fleurs en constante évolution, des sculptures d’art en bouteilles, un centre d’interprétation du jardin logé dans la reproduction du phare de Cap-Egmont et une boutique de cadeaux où on trouve des objets de verre et des produits de l’île uniques.
Mentionné dans « Ripley's Believe It or Not! » et dans « 1000 Places to See Before You Die », il s’agit, selon les visiteurs, l’un des plus beaux jardins au Canada atlantique et l’une des meilleures boutiques de la PEI.
This is a historic house, from what I understand its over a century old. The stone appears to b e local. After seeing so many structures fall to ruin in rural Missouri its a pleasure to see one being maintained. Taken on the outskirts of Owensville Missouri.

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, aircraft and ships. Structural analysis employs the fields of applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to compute a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, accelerations, and stability. The results of the analysis are used to verify a structure's fitness for use, often precluding physical tests. Structural analysis is thus a key part of the engineering design of structures.
