Another shot taken during a visit to Sissinghurst on a dull, drizzly Sunday in late May. There's not a lot to add to the millions of words that have already been written about this iconic garden. Here are links to the official National Trust site and the Wikipedia article:

The Baltimore Trust Building, East Baltimore Street, Baltimore. Designed by the firm of Taylor and Fisherand completed in 1924 when it was the tallest building in Maryland. The building's exterior is decorated with bird and lion carvings, Maya-style human faces and is capped with a copper and gold roof. The ornate, two-story main banking lobby is highly decorated with mosaic floors designed by Hildreth Meiere, and historic murals by McGill Mackall on historic themes. Now known as the Bank of America Building.

The Landmark Trust's beautiful new property in Manchester.
The first floor has a large and airy open plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen.
Obviously I super-saturated this photo, but I thought it appropriate for the surreal/trippy nature of the whole subject, especially combined with it's already vivid colours.
Biddulph Grange was developed by James Bateman (1811–1897), the accomplished horticulturist and landowner; he inherited money from his father, who had become rich from coal and steel businesses. He moved to Biddulph Grange around 1840, from nearby Knypersley Hall. He created the gardens with the aid of his friend and painter of seascapes Edward William Cooke. The gardens were meant to display specimens from Bateman's extensive and wide-ranging collection of plants.
The post-1896 house served as a children's hospital from 1923 until the 1960s; known first as the "North Staffordshire Cripples' Hospital" and later as the "Biddulph Grange Orthopaedic Hospital" (though it took patients with non-orthopaedic conditions as well. Under this latter title the hospital's role expanded to accommodate adults, continuing in operation into the mid-1980s.) The 15 acres (6.1 ha) garden became badly run-down and neglected during this period, and the deeply dug-out terraced area near the house around Dahlia Walk was filled in level to make a big lawn for patients to be wheeled out on in summertime. The Bateman property was (and still is) divided: the hospital got the house and its gardens, and the uncultivated remainder of Biddulph Grange's land became the Biddulph Grange Country Park.
Until 1991 the house and gardens "housed an orthopaedic hospital, whose managers (understandably enough) were more concerned with their patients than the weird stuff looming out of rocky outcrops in the grounds. For the best part of a century the gardens decayed, visited only by passing vandals and, more rarely, intrepid folly-hunters."
In 1988 the National Trust took ownership of the property and its gardens, which have now been nearly fully restored.

Located on part of the now closed North Staffordshire Coal Field – the Apedale Country Park is a fine example of nature reclaiming industrial sites. The history of the site is celebrated in the Mining Museum – free of charge. The Moseley Railway Trust also found a home there for their collection of 2 foot gauge railways. Their steam fleet includes a Kerr Stuart Tatoo class 0-4-2T “Stanhope” and a Joffre 0-6-0T. The latter stars when the annual “Tracks to the Trenches” festival takes place with suitably dressed cast, train loads and replica trenches.
The Mining Museum is well worth a visit – Coal power drove the Potteries. Large chunks of NCB equipment await restoration whilst providing a home for blackberries.
The Apedale Country Park is located in the D formed by the M6 between junctions 15 and 16 and the A500 Stoke on Trent relief road. It is accessed from the A34.
When was part of Trust Territory of the Pacific Island (TTPI).
Before independence in 1990, the American U.N. Trust Territory of Micronesia was part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Today, the country is in free association with the United States.
The four states in the federation are:
Chuuk (Truk)
