This is Malvern House on the corner of New Road and Park Road in Solihull. I first saw it a couple of weeks ago when walking past on the other side of the road (New Road) but forgot to come back and get shots of it (until today).

 

I discovered on Heritage Gateway that it is a Grade II* listed building, and it used to be The Old Grammar School.

 

It is currently To Let.

 

Solihull School moved to this site in a house in 1615. It stayed here until 1882 when it moved to School House on the current 50 acre site of Solihull School.

 

The school had existed since 1560 in the Parish Church of St Alphege (a short walk away from here).

  

Otherwise known as Malvern House. Mid C18. Red brick, old tiled roof. 2 storeys

and attics with 2 storey 2 window gabled projections, with brick copings, either

side. Central 4 panel door in architrave surround with cornice on consoles. Sash

windows and some casements with wooden transoms. Mby incorporate earlier structure

of mid C17. Late C19 additions on left and at back.

This is 433 Church Road in Yardley. Formerly it was the Cottagers Institute. It was set up by Ebenezer Hoskins of The Grange to teach gardening and industrial skills to local people.

 

On the gable it is dated 1882.

 

No 433 is currently To Let.

 

The Cottage Institute: It began as a meeting hall to encourage gardening and industrial work for villagers. The Instutues occupies the orginal site of the ring of bells.

 

Seems like The Ring of Bells used to be a pub (on this site, not sure about the building).

A few weeks earlier, I took kite aerial photographs of this building while the landscape around it was still green.

Claire Lavogez (de son nom complet Claire Marie Annie Lavogez) est une footballeuse internationale française, née le 18 juin 1994 à Calais. Elle évolue au poste de milieu de terrain à l'Olympique lyonnais en Division 1, ainsi qu'en Équipe de France.

Claire Lavogez a 16 ans quand elle commence sa carrière au niveau national à l'US Gravelines Foot, qui évolue alors en Division 2. Elle devient une titulaire indiscutable avant d'être rapidement recrutée par le club voisin, le FCF Hénin-Beaumont, qui dispute le Championnat de Division 1. La jeune Claire s'y impose également, ne disputant qu'un match avec l'équipe des moins de 19 ans (elle y inscrit un quadruplé), et dispute avec l'équipe première héninoise 17 matchs de D1 (16 comme titulaire) lors de la saison 2010-2011.

Dès la saison suivante, c'est auréolée du statut de capitaine de l'Équipe de France des -17 ans qu'elle signe au Montpellier Hérault SC. Elle fait 10 matchs en Division 1 avec l'équipe première, fêtant sa première apparition avec un but, et participe à la finale du Challenge National des -19 ans Féminin qu'elle remporte avec l'équipe des -19 ans du Montpellier HSC.

Claire continue de s'installer progressivement dans l'équipe lors de la saison 2012-2013 où elle dispute 15 rencontres de Division 1 (dont 9 en tant que titulaire) et participe à nouveau à la victoire des Pailladines dans le Challenge national féminin U19, où les jeunes Montpelliéraines battent en finale l'Olympique lyonnais, 1 but à 0.

La saison 2013-2014 est pour le Montpellier HSC une année transition qui voit, à l'issue de la saison, la fin de carrière ou le départ de nombreuses joueuses emblématiques du club : Hoda Lattaf, Ludivine Diguelman, Josefine Öqvist, Ophélie Meilleroux ou encore Élodie Ramos. L'émergence de jeunes joueuses comme Claire Lavogez (20 matchs dont 14 comme titulaire), Sandie Toletti, ou Viviane Asseyi marque un rajeunissement dans l'effectif montpeliérain, très visible dès la saison suivante.

Courant avril 2015, elle annonce qu'elle évoluera dès la saison prochaine avec l'Olympique lyonnais. Le 6 juillet 2015, elle signe un contrat de 3 ans avec l'Olympique lyonnais. Dès sa première saison, elle inscrit 6 buts en 18 matchs et remporte le triplé championnat, coupe et coupe d'Europe avec son nouveau club.

A 20 ans, Claire est appelée pour la première fois par Philippe Bergeroo, sélectionneur de l'Équipe de France A, lors du rassemblement pour préparer le match amical contre l'Allemagne à Offenbach le 25 octobre 2014. Elle y gagne sa première cape en entrant en jeu à la 67' pour remplacer Élodie Thomis, lors d'un match historique qui voit l'Équipe de France féminine remporter sa 1re victoire contre l'Allemagne sur le sol germanique (2 buts à 0).

Le 6 mars 2015, elle marque son premier but en Équipe de France lors du match France - Danemark en Algarve Cup.

Le 26 juin 2015, durant le quart de finale France-Allemagne, elle est la dernière joueuse française à tirer au but. Alors que l'Allemagne avait réussi ses 5 tirs, le dernier tir français est arrêté par la gardienne allemande Angerer, qualifiant ainsi l'Allemagne pour les demi-finales.

  

Les Guingampaises n'ont pas vraiment pas été récompensées de leurs efforts. Ce dimanche, elles sont sorties de la Coupe de France face à Lyon (0-5).

La première période timide des Lyonnaises ne profite pas aux Rouge et Noir qui échouent sur le poteau de Fourré (7'). En seconde période, Lyon relève la tête et assomme Guingamp dans la dernière demi-heure.

Si Bremer ouvre le score (0-1, 67'), Le Sommer (84'), Hegerberg (88'), Lavogez (89') et Kumagai sur penalty (90'+3) infligent un lourd score à l'En Avant.

La fiche technique

Arbitre : Mme Bonnin.

BUTS. Lyon : Bremer (67'), Le Sommer (84'), Hegerberg (88'), Lavogez (89'), Kumagai (90'+3 sp).

GUINGAMP : Gignoux - Dinglor, Debever, Lorgeré, Morin (Quentin 59') - Bueno, Nwuaboku (Fleury 59') - Oparanozir, Pervier, Le Garrec - Fourré. Entraineur : Sarah M'Barek.

L'OL féminin se déplace sur le terrain de Guingamp, dimanche après-midi (16h40), en 1/8 de finale de la Coupe de France.

Après deux victoires consécutives face à Juvisy (5-2, 1-0), en D1 féminine, les Lyonnaises retrouvent la Coupe de France avec un déplacement à Saint-Brieuc pour affronter Guingamp, en 1/8 de finale. Une équipe chez qui l'OL était allé s'imposer 3-0 en championnat, le 14 janvier dernier, après un succès 9-1 à l'aller.

Lors des tours précédents, les joueuses de Gérard Prêcheur ont sorti l'équipe de DH d'ETG Ambilly (8-0) puis le pensionnaire de D2 Grenoble (6-0), avec des équipes remaniées qui ont permis de donner du temps de jeu à celles qui en avaient besoin. De son côté, Guingamp a obtenu ses qualifications dans des derbys bretons face aux équipes de D2 Saint-Malo (6-0) et Brest (4-2).

Tenantes du titre, les Lyonnaises auront à coeur de décrocher leur qualification pour les 1/4 de finale, tout en préparant au mieux le déplacement décisif à Montpellier, le week-end prochain, en D1 féminine. Mbock, Majri, Houara, Seger, et Morgan sont au repos.

L’OL féminin a décroché son billet pour les quarts de finale de la Coupe de France en allant s'imposer 5-0 dans les Côtes d'Armor.

Les Lyonnaises poursuivent leur route dans la compétition après leur victoire ce dimanche à Saint-Brieuc sur le terrain de l'En-Avant de Guingamp. Une qualification pour les quarts de finale de la Coupe de France qui a été longue à se dessiner.

À la mi-temps le score était toujours de 0-0 et la plus belle occasion était à mettre au crédit des joueuses de Sarah M'Barek qui trouvaient la base du poteau de Méline Gerard sur une frappe d'Adélie Fourre. Durant ces 45 premières minutes, les Lyonnaises avaient eu bien du mal à se montrer dangereuses, si ce n'est sur une tentative de Claire Lavogez sauvée sur la ligne.

Dès le début de la seconde période, Gérard Prêcheur lançait sur le terrain Pauline Bremer et Eugénie Le Sommer. Des changement décisifs puisque Bremer se créait dans la foulée une première occasion. L'attaquante allemande ouvrait finalement le score à la 65e minute sur un corner dévié par Wendie Renard et qu'elle convertissait au second poteau (0-1, 65').

Malgré cet avantage, les Lyonnaises se faisaient dans la foulée une grosse frayeur et il fallait une double parade de Méline Gerard pour éviter l'égalisation guingampaise (70'). Un avertissement sans conséquence car dans la foulée Pauline Bremer mettait fin au suspense en ajoutant deux nouveaux buts : le premier sur une reprise après une déviation d'Ada Hegerberg (0-2) et le second sur un centre de Le Sommer repris de la tête au second poteau (0-3). Dans les derniers instants, Claire Lavogez (sur une passe de Bremer) et Saki Kumagai (sur pénalty) portaient le score à 5-0.

Avec cette large victoire, les tenantes du titre restent en course dans cette édition 2017 et seront attentives au tirage au sort des quarts de finale qui sera effectué ce mardi 21 février. Les quatre rencontres seront jouées le dimanche 12 mars. prochain.

CDF féminine (1/8 finale) : EA Guingamp - OL féminin 0-5 (0-0)

Arbitre : Sabine Bonnin. Spectateurs : 800 env.

Buts : Bremer (65', 84' et 87' ), Lavogez (89') et Kumagai (93') pour l’OL

OL : Gerard – Petit, Renard (cap.), Buchanan, Henning (Bremer, 46'), - Kaci (Marozsan, 65'), Kumagai, Dali (Le Sommer, 46'), Thomis - Lavogez, Hegerberg. Entr. G. Prêcheur.

L'EA Guingamp s'est incliné 5-0 contre l'Olympique lyonnais ce dimanche en huitième de finale de la Coupe de France féminine. Les Bretonnes ont craqué en toute fin de match.

e score large de 0-5 ne reflète pas vraiment la physionomie du match entre l'EA Guingamp et l'Olympique lyonnais.

Les Bretonnes ont longtemps tenu tête à la meilleure équipe de football féminin du championnat français. En début de première période, Adélie Fourre a failli donner l'avantage à l'EA Guingamp mais sa frappe a fini sur le poteau.

Triplé de Bremer

Les Lyonnaises n'ont réussi à marquer qu'après l'heure de jeu. Suite à un corner, Renard a dévié le ballon de la tête en direction de Bremer, qui a réussi à passer devant la gardienne guingampaise pour ensuite marquer du pied droit en pivot (0-1, 67').

L'EAG aurait pu égaliser quatre minutes plus tard mais la frappe d'Oparanozie a été repoussée par Méline Gerard, la gardienne de l'OL. Dans la continuité de cette action, la tentative de Fleury est passée de peu à côté du but.

Mais face à l'épuisement des joueuses bretonnes en fin de match, les Lyonnaises ont réussi à prendre le large. Bremer s'est offert un triplé grâce à une reprise de volée (0-2, 84') puis une tête plongeante (0-3, 88'). Claire Lavogez a ensuite corsé l'addition d'une demi-volée en pleine lucarne (0-4, 89') avant que Kumagaï ne transforme un penalty en toute fin de match (0-5, 90'+5).

Les Guingampaises y ont longtemps cru, mais ne sont pas parvenues à faire tomber le tout puissant Olympique Lyonnais. Et ont finalement concédé un lourd score à l'arrivée.

Elles résistent longtemps. Bien plus longtemps que lors des deux confrontations en championnat. Mais en seconde période, les Guingampaises craquent. Pourtant, Wendie Renard et ses partenaires peinent à entrer dans la rencontre. Et elles sont d'ailleurs les premières à se faire peur. La frappe d'Adélie Fourré heurte le montant droit d'une Méline Gérard totalement battue (7'). « Je suis dégoûtée, mais c'est comme ça », regrette l'intéressée, titulaire en lieu et place de Salma Amani, blessée pendant l'échauffement. Si les Lyonnaises mettent peu à peu le pied sur le ballon, elles réalisent un premier acte poussif offensivement. Seule la frappe de Corine Franco dans les six mètres, repoussée par Margaux Bueno, parvient à inquiéter les « Rouge et Noir » (43').

L'ogre lyonnais sort ses crocs

Mécontent de son équipe, Gérard Prêcheur procède à deux changements au retour des vestiaires. À peine entrée en jeu, Pauline Bremer se signale, mais ne trouve pas le cadre (47'). Lyon s'installe dans le camp breton et oblige Gignoux à s'employer sur une tête de Renard (65'). Dans la foulée, Renard reprend le dessus sur la défense guingampaise qui ne parvient pas à se dégager. Dans les parages, Bremer concrétise la domination lyonnaise (0-1, 67'). Loin d'être atterrées, les filles de Sarah M'Barek réagissent immédiatement et se procurent une occasion en or. Sur le flanc droit, Oparanozie bute sur Gérard. Le ballon revient dans les pieds de Fleury. Le stade Fred-Aubert retient son souffle, mais l'Internationale U19 croise légèrement trop sa frappe (71'). Quand l'efficacité n'est pas au rendez-vous, la note est souvent payée cash face à l'OL. L'En Avant n'échappe pas à la règle et plie à nouveau sur une frappe d'Eugénie Le Sommer (0-2, 84').

Guingamp s'écroule, Lyon déroule

Dans les dernières minutes, Lyon se déchaîne et alourdit le score grâce à Ada Hegerberg (0-3, 88') et Claire Lavogez (0-4, 89'). Avant de donner au score son allure finale sur un penalty de Saki Kumagai (0-5, 90'+3). « C'est sévère quand on voit comment on s'est battues et arrachées, concède M'Barek. Mais je suis hyperfière de mes joueuses ». Une défaite globalement logique, mais extrêmement cruelle pour En Avant.

Empty shops in Waterlooville Shopping Centre. Taken as part of the Empty Shops Day 2010

A part of my submission to this summer's Utata Big Project, "Homage". The subject of this homage being William Eggleston.

--

When I decide to homage Eggleston I thought he would be the easiest of the 3 photographers I chose for this project. I was both right and wrong. The scooter photo was easy. I made the connection between Eggleston's tricycle and modern scooters, then went out and shot a scooter at the first attempt. But Eggleston was also the hardest of my 3 homages. Making that connection meant digging a little deeper into his pysche. It came in a flash of inspiration for the scooter but needed more work for these other 3 photos. So I was also wrong, as wrong as an empty unit in a modern retail park. Eggleston was a difficult choice.

There was a lot of traffic on the Warwick Road in Olton.

 

Mainly returned to Olton for the former Bank House and Olton Library.

 

As usual found it hard to find a decent spot to take shots of them. Between the traffic.

 

So this was the best I could.

 

Traffic wasn't bad at this end, compared to near the roadworks, further down Warwick Road.

I think that this building is 20 - 26 Albert Street. Dates from 1898, although it looks modernised.

 

Currently looks like all the units are available to let.

 

20 - 26 Albert Street of 1898 by J A Chatwin, the entrance with a big broken pediment bitting a two-light window.

Further down Albert Street is 28 - 34 Albert Street - Haines House.

 

28 - 34 Albert Street is the building I usually notice as looking interesting. Best to take it with the Albert Street car park behind you.

 

It dates from 1888 by Arthur Harrison for William Marston, a carriage lace manufacturer who turned to car trim. A good Queen Anne design in pinky-red brick with a rusticated stone ground floor. This and the segmental windows look almost Neo-Georgian of 1930. Only the dormers and the ground-floor window transoms give the date away.

Currently, the building is called Haines House. Occupied by Ecotec.

Double empty shop - formerly car spares

This building at the far north end of High Street looks interesting. It is Henley Mill at 1 High Street in Henley-in-Arden.

 

A former corn mill from the 19th century, and an 18th century house.

 

It is a Grade II listed building.

 

Mill and attached mill house, now offices. C18 house with

mid-late C19 mill. Brick with C20 rendering to street; tile

roofs. Gable facing, front to right.

EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic; 6-window range with 2 gabled

cross-wings. 6 giant segmental-headed recesses. Top cornices.

4 windows to ground floor with signs of blocked entrance to

right of centre. 4 C20 skylights. Cross-gable to right has

segmental-headed window with 10/10 horned sash to each floor;

end cross-gable has blocked segmental-headed window to ground

and first floors and 2-light small-paned casement to gable.

Left return to street. Segmental-headed windows with fixed

glazing to low rear wing. 3-window rear range has top

modillioned brick cornice; later large hipped porch and

windows with sills, and stucco wedge lintels with key blocks

over 10/10 horned sashes, the central first-floor window is

reduced, with 2 small lights.

INTERIOR: not inspected.

Important streetscape value, closing view to north end of High

Henley Mill - Heritage Gateway

 

This sign on the mill looks like a road sign, but isn't. It's just the name of the mill and its address.

 

I think the mill is for sale / to let.

 

There was a river further down Millfield Court.

Before I left the city centre, I saw these UK City of Culture 2013 signs on City Arcade, so took a few shots of them. One outside, and one inside the arcade.

 

This one was inside the arcade, and unfortunetely, someone has vandalised it.

 

On the corner of Union Street and Union Passage is City Arcade in Birmingham.

 

The side facing near WH Smith is on Union Passage and Warwick Passage.

 

The other side faces Sainsburys in Martineau Place.

  

It is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1898 to 1901 (the late Victorian period). It is by T W F Newton and Cheattle. The decorative terracotta and green faience is by Doulton and Co and other detailing by W J Neatby.

 

It has an arcade full of shops. Although these days there aren't really any shops down there (from what I've seen whenever I pass it)

The shop space here is To Let.

I saw this former Woolworths in Acocks Green from the bus, and returned a few days later to get shots of it.

 

Will open in July 2010.

 

Is now a Furniture & Electrical.

 

Think it maybe a charity shop for the British Heart Foundation.

Things I've noticed from the bus on Bradford Street. Been meaning for a while to get shots from Bradford Street, but I don't fancy getting all the old ex factorys / warehouses.

 

I keep seeing this place from the bus. A former factory or warehouse, now gutted and now a car park, except it hasn't been used as a car park yet. They are still waiting for it to be let as a car park.

 

It was Good with Wood (UK) Ltd.

 

The In and Out parts seem to be open all day, so anyone can get in, such as grafitti vandals (notice the grafiti on the back wall).

 

It is at 48 Bradford Street.

This pub was the Spotted Dog. It's last owners renamed it TJ's after themselves (the owners were called Theresa and John).

 

They may have renamed it as there was another Spotted Dog in the area.

 

It now appears to be To Let.

 

It is on the corner of Meriden Street and Bordesley Street.

 

It dates back to 1810, with later pilastered ground floor.

 

A Guiness banner on the top of the pub.

 

The pub used to have something to do with Gibb's Mew.

This is 433 Church Road in Yardley. Formerly it was the Cottagers Institute. It was set up by Ebenezer Hoskins of The Grange to teach gardening and industrial skills to local people.

 

On the gable it is dated 1882.

 

The Cottage Institute: It began as a meeting hall to encourage gardening and industrial work for villagers. The Instutues occupies the orginal site of the ring of bells.

 

Seems like The Ring of Bells used to be a pub (on this site, not sure about the building).

Empty for a long time the Conference Centre and Banqueting Rooms in Waterlooville.

 

Nothing to celebrate here. Taken as part of the Empty Shops campaign 4 May 2010

 

The out of date telephone STD code on the Curzon Rooms sign was replaced many years ago when BT changed all the local codes.

 

The site is fenced off and derelict. Many broken windows and pigeons inside the building

 

UPDATE - DEMOLISHED 12 Jan 2013

The Bank of England is to Let! Things have got much worse than anyone thought!

 

.... Relax.... It's not the LONDON Bank of England, but the BRISTOL Bank of England...

In the middle of a busy shopping precinct this shop is dirty and covered in pigeon droppings from the pavement to the underside of roof canopy.

 

The pigeon droppings are all over the pavement and glass windows as the pigeons roost above the shopfront.

Was raining quite heavily in Birmingham.

 

Waiting at the bus stop on the Hagley Road near Five Ways in Edgbaston.

 

Many vehicles were driving fast and splashing the puddles onto the pavement.

I took my X100 out with me today to Manchester (for work unfortunately, not for play.) and did a bit of street photography.

Since buying this beaut of a camera (if you haven't had the pleasure of playing with one - I urge you to. It will result in you buying one) I adore this style of work. It's reignited my passion, and although my style has drastically changed over the past few years, I'm happy with it.

I left the Jewellery Quarter via St Pauls Square, then headed down Ludgate Hill.

 

Found various restaurants / bars in the former warehouse buildings.

 

These buildings was the Sao Paolo Bar, but from the looks of it now, it isn't and is for sale / to let.

 

It was possibly an Italian bar / pub. It says on it Sao Paolo Trattoria. Also says Gastronomia.

 

Think it is at 24 Ludgate Hill. Not sure why Sao Paolo closed down.

 

Before it was Sao Paolo, it was the St Pauls Tavern.

 

Public house dating from the Victorian period. The building is of three storeys and is built of brick with a traditional pub frontage to the ground-floor, the roof is of slate.
