Antiche strutture.
La chiesa dedicata a Sant'Audoeno di Rouen fu costruita intorno al 1190 dagli anglo-normanni, appena arrivati in Irlanda. Come molte chiese medioevali, aveva un cimitero, oggi diventato parco, dove furono seppelliti diverse importante figure, tra cui alcuni vescovi e politici della città. È considerata come la chiesa più antica di Dublino oggi dedicata al rito anglicano, mentre al suo fianco ne sorge una più moderna per il rito cattolico romano.

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
The station's demise was caused by its output falling with age, coupled with increased operating costs, such as flue gas cleaning."Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" shut three years later. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space, shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.
Works were completed and nearly forty years after the lights were switched off, Battersea Power Station opened its doors to the public on Friday 14 October 2022, marking the first time the public were able to explore the iconic building and the first tranche of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues. As well as 254 apartments inside the power station itself, the 42-acre site also contains apartment buildings designed by US architect Frank Gehry and by Foster + Partners. The first residents moved in to the power station in May 2021.
The structure was built in 1910 as soldiers' quarters for the men of the Royal Artillery who manned the Central and West Batteries. On the night of 18 December 1941, Japanese troops successfully crossed the Lei Yue Mun Channel from Devil's Peak and were engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders in this building. After stubborn resistance, the defenders, overwhelmed by superior numbers and firepower, were forced to retreat.

You could walk kilometres along a deserted sandy beach. Since I discovered this sand structures.
Man konnte kilometerweit am menschenleeren Sandstrand wandern. Da entdeckte ich diese Strukturen.
