The timeless charm of Gainsborough's showpiece, the medieval Old Hall, which stands right in the centre of this Lincolnshire town.
It was built (largely) by the Yorkist Lord of the Manor, Sir Thomas Burgh, who entertained King Richard III here in 1470. However, the house was built on the site of a much earlier dwelling, and there is evidence to suggest that there are few sites in England where a house has stood longer.
In 1596 the house was sold to a London Merchant, William (later Sir William) Hickman, and he added the East Wing between 1597 and 1600. In 1720 his decendent, Sir Neville Hickman moved out of the Old Hall, and into a new dwelling at Thonock, about 2 miles away.
After the Hickmans left, the Old Hall had a somewhat varied existance. For 30 years it was the residence of Lord Abingdon of Gate Burton, and then the Great Hall became a Linen factory, and then a Theatre. Meanwhile the West wing became workshops for tradesmen. John Wesley preached in the Great Hall in 1759, 1761 & 1764, and in 1773 the large room on the upper floor of the East Wing became a place of worship for a congregation of Dissenters.
In the 19th century the West wing was used as tenement dwellings, with a part of the rest of the building being used as the "Queen Adelaide" pub. A partial restoration of the Great Hall was completed in 1849 by Denzil Ibbetson, Chief Engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. However, Ibbetson's restoration did destroy the ancient minstrel's gallery. Further restoration was done in the 1880s, and at that time the usage changed from Theatre to Corn Exchange, and then to Auction Room.
The Ground floor of the East Wing became the Mechanics Institute in 1849, and the large room above became the Town Ballroom. From 1896 until 1952, the ground floor of the east Wing was used as a Masonic Temple.
By the early 1950s, the building was in a parlous state, and was donated to the Town. Gainsborough Urban Distric Council had plans to demolish the building and build a car park on the site, but fortunately this never came to pass. Thanks to the work of local volunteers, especially Mr Harold Brace and the group he founded - the Friends of The Old Hall, the building was not demolished. Instead the building was restored between the late 1950s and the early 1980s, and is now run by English Heritage.
The Old Hall has entertained many illustrious guests down the years, including Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII. Indeed, it was on one of his visits to the Old Hall, that Henry, fat and alone met Catherine Parr, who was to become his sixth and final Wife in 1543.

Prise à l'intérieur d'un monastère, celui de Disket il me semble. Ces étranges objets sont en fait des livres de prières ou plutôt des "boîtes" à livres de prières.
Notre ami ladakh, ancien moine, en possède également un avec différents ouvrages. Ceux-ci sont déjà passés dans les mains de nombreux moines...
AAW August 2014 - Timeless
The challenge is to capture something that can be titled "timeless"
The more symbolic you get the better.
Restrictions: Not just a scenery - has to include a person
Dare: No dare - I think the restriction is enough.
WTI: These are the hands of my parents, married 44 years this October. I'm so proud of them for being an example to me.
In post, ACR and slight levels. No crop.

I wish i had som higer number of aperture to get more of the fly in focus, but i liked this outcome in B&W
Across the wetlands south of Hinckley I don't imagine the scene to be much different today than it was when the Skally Line was constructed. This timeless territory is a great setting for these classic locomotives. January 19, 2015.
This Scania was photographed in Egypt in 1999: I do not know if Ghabbour actually built the bodywork (although I believe that they did build bodywork) or were simply the importers, but, imho, it is a graceful, purposeful design that looks timeless and reminds me of the Duple bodied Dennis "Falcon" Rapide coaches built for Western National in the eightees.
Here is my first post of a set of photos I took in Venise more than a year ago and never had the chance to work on. The beauty of this city can only inspire you and make you transport through centuries. Every corner is a surprise and subject to become a great shot.
I simply could not resist posting this image as well this week! I feel it will be one of those images which will be timeless to me, mostly because of the black and white and the fact that I was having so much fun. It will be an image that when I look back at it in times to come I will be able to remember the day it was taken on with such clarity that it will feel as if I was the same age, in the same place, with the same feelings. It wasn't supposed to make it to Flickr as it was simply a quick shot of me outside Buckingham Palace, and yet here it is!
Thank you all for taking the time to look at my stream!

The Timeless grimm;
These walls have seen,
The birth of all new breeds,
The fall of past kings,
Light and darkness,
And the Timeless Grimm.

The timeless stainless steel design of the Southern Aurora is on full display as the set sits at Sydney Terminal during a trial run from Thirlmere to Central and return.
One of the most photographed scenes at UNSW. A backdrop for countless graduates and their proud families. It's a classic shot
: : Did you know? : :
Through word of mouth, I've been told the circular gate is meant to be a clock...the Unbreakable Clock.
Either ironic or its name is jinxed and sealed its fate because the Unbreakable Clock is now...time-less

Which tv ad did this scene appear in?
