The original wasn't as saturated and lighter, this looks a bit more dramatic and cinematic. Taken in Blackpool at the Pleasure Beach, however didn't have enough money so couldn't actually go in! I took this on the road beside it.
The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is a historic hotel structure at the corner of Oxford Street and Whitworth Street in Manchester, England. The building was originally constructed in segments from 1891 to 1932 as the Refuge Assurance Building.
History
Refuge Assurance Company
The first phase of this Grade II* listed red brick and terracotta building was designed for the Refuge Assurance Company by Alfred Waterhouse and built 1891–1895.[2] The inside was of Burmantofts faience and glazed brick. The ground floor was one enormous open business hall.[3] It was extended, with a striking 217-foot (66 m) tower, along Oxford Street by his son Paul Waterhouse in 1910–1912.[2] It was further extended along Whitworth Street by Stanley Birkett in 1932.[3]
What is now the ballroom was previously the dining hall for employees, with males and females being required to sit separately. Around 2,000 staff were employed. Women had to reapply for jobs if they married,[4] and some areas of the building were for men only.[5] The ballroom in the basment was used as a dance hall for workers in their lunch hour.[6]
After occupying the building as offices for nearly a century, the Refuge Assurance Company moved to the grounds of Fulshaw Hall, Cheshire on Friday 6 November 1987. The Refuge Assurance company had discussed converting the building into a new home for the Hallé Orchestra with one of Manchester's cultural patrons Sir Bob Scott for over a year. The £3 million funding required for the project did not materialise and the Halle subsequently moved from the Free Trade Hall to the new Bridgewater Hall upon opening in 1996.[7] Local architecture critic John Parkinson-Bailey noted that "one of the most prestigious and expensive buildings in Manchester lay forlorn and empty except for a caretaker and the ghost on its staircase".[7]
Conversion to hotel
The massive structure was converted to a hotel by Richard Newman in 1996 at a cost of £7 million, and was named the Palace Hotel, owned and operated by the Principal Hotel Company.[8] Principal Hotels was sold to Nomura International Plc in 2001,[9] and they rebranded the hotel as Le Méridien Palace Manchester. When Le Méridien Hotels faced financial difficulties,[10] the hotel was bought back by a reconstituted Principal Hotels in 2004[11] and again renamed the Palace Hotel. When Principal Hotels decided to brand all their hotels with their corporate name, the hotel was renamed The Principal Manchester, in November 2016.[12] The current glass dome in the reception area was taken from a Scottish railway station during the conversion to a hotel.[4]
In May 2018, the hotel was sold to the InterContinental Hotels Group.[13] It was announced in February 2020[14] that the hotel would be renamed the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in March; as part of InterContinental Hotels Group's Kimpton Hotels brand. However, the hotel was forced to close before the renaming, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] It reopened under the Kimpton name on October 1, 2020.[16]
The hotel is purported to be haunted.[6] One of the staircases is said to be haunted by a grieving war widow who committed suicide by throwing herself down it, throwing herself from the top floor.[4] The staircase in question was only accessible to men at the time.[5] Room 261 is allegedly haunted, with reports of the sound of children playing at night.[17]
One of the largest buildings in the collection was a complete church, which was replaced with a stone one in 1910 at the original site.
This is the accompanying bell tower. That bulb dome will surely make you think of St Basil's, but once again this entire structure is made of wood.
Remarkable.
"Building"
STRUCTURES is a series of generative art pieces the explores the constructions of our world by taking photographs of man-made and natural structures and placing them into a new structure. This process semi-randomly fragments and rearranges the photographs into a grid of my design. I'll often run the images through this process several times, using various grid structures along the way.
Programs used: Lightroom, Photoshop, Processing
Soundtrack: Meshuggah - corridor of chamaeleons
playing around with imaging once again, trying to get hold of "strong" colors using more or less clear structures... how did I do, so far? ;) at least, it's sort of bright, in a certain way...
What does the Instant structures Mod (ISM) by MaggiCraft?
official website: instant-structures-mod.com/
With the Instant Structures Mod (short: ISM) you can choose one of 365+ structures and place them with just a few click in your Minecraft world. The structures sizes range between a few 100 blocks and 3,000,000 blocks. Placing larger structures accordingly takes longer. Structures are divided in themes and are easily accessible through a wiki. The structures of the Instant Structures Mod (ISM) are quite detailed, published structures are listed in the sub-side Structures.
Furthermore you can scan (save) your own structures and place them as many times as you like. You can share your saved structures with your friends or even with the entire Minecraft community ISM is available for Minecraft Versions 1.7.10 and 1.8. To install ISM you need Minecraft Forge.

The amazing structure inside the Belfry (Halletoren) in Brugge. This medieval bell tower was originally built in 1240 but burnt down in 1280 before being rebuilt. The octagonal upper stage of the belfry was added between 1483 and 1487. On the right hand side you can see the stairwell, leading ever higher. The image is taken on the second floor.
