The Royal George Hotel in the Gloucestershire village of Birdlip was built in the 19th Century. It is not a listed building.
At the summit of the steep hill from Witcombe, the pub is located on the route of the ancient Roman Ermin Street, now bypassed by the modern A419—on a bottleneck section currently being upgraded (wayhey!).
Birdlip was once a popular destination for day trippers and the pleasure gardens in the Royal George were a popular attraction.

The cathedral is a Grade I listed building and a fine example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture championed by Pugin.
St. Mary's Church in Newcastle opened in August 1844, paid for largely through halfpenny subscriptions from the community of poor Irish immigrants on Tyneside. The priest at the mission at Newcastle upon Tyne wa William Riddell.

I don't mind people adding colorful touches to victorians but this is just messing too much with architectural integrity.

I took this a couple of years ago, what I was attempting to do was show a little part of the Victorian era that still stands prominently on the waterfront with all the newly constructed venues and the Crown Plaza Hotel. My luck was in with the weather and the awesome cloud formations, the cloud to the centre resembles a bird.

Ralston Hall Mansion located in Belmont, California, was the country house of William Chapman Ralston, a San Francisco businessman, founder of the Bank of California, and financier of the Comstock Lode. It is an opulent Italianate Villa, modified with touches of Steamboat Gothic and Victorian details. It is a California Historical Landmark and is designated a National Historic Landmark.[3] It is now part of Notre Dame de Namur University.Ralston Hall Mansion is situated on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University, on the San Francisco Peninsula. The mansion has been built around the villa of Count Leonetto Cipriani, former owner of the estate. Taking three years to build, it was completed in 1867, when San Francisco's leaders and first citizens had large summer homes on the Peninsula, an integral part of San Francisco high society. Architect John Painter Gaynor, who later worked with Ralston on the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, is thought to have worked on it. Several of the design elements of Ralston Hall Mansion were copied in the design of the Palace. Victorian-Italianate Villa

Another Victorian addition to the core of Regency Cheltenham, St Matthew’s Church was built in 1876-79, to designs by Ewan Christian. A tower was completed and spire added in 1883-84, but in 1952 the spire was removed, and the tower being reduced in height in 1972.
The former Wesleyan Chapel in the Wiltshire village of Worton. It was completed in 1848 according to its headstone (other sources say 1849), although there had been a Methodist church on this site from 1826.
It closed as a Methodist church towards the end of the 20th Century and reopened as an congregation of the Anglican Catholic Church, known as St. Brihtwold's - the ACC is a small splinter church with only a small presence in the UK, having been founded as a breakaway from the US Episcopal Church after the ordination of women in 1976. This seems to have operated from roughly 1992-2002 (dates on which I am very much open to correction) and then was turned into a private residence.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London[1] and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.[2][3] The tower is officially Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; until then, it was known simply as the Clock Tower.
The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-gothic style. When completed in 1859, it was, says horologist Ian Westworth, "the prince of timekeepers: the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world".[4] It stands 315 feet (96 m) tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 39 feet (12 m) on each side. Dials of the clock are 23 feet (7.0 m) in diameter. On 31 May 2009, celebrations were held to mark the tower's 150th anniversary.[5]
Big Ben is the largest of five bells and weighs 13½ tons (13.76 tonnes). It was the largest bell in the United Kingdom for 23 years. The origin of the bell's nickname is open to question; it may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or after boxing heavyweight champion Benjamin Caunt. Four quarter bells chime at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour, and also just before Big Ben tolls on the hour. The clock still uses the original Victorian mechanism, but an electric motor is sometimes used as a backup.
A British cultural icon, recognised all over the world, the tower is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and parliamentary democracy,[6] and it is often used in the establishing shot of films set in London.[7] The clock tower has been part of a Grade I listed building since 1970 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
On 21 August 2017, a four-year schedule of renovation works began on the tower, which are to include the addition of a lift. There are also plans to re-glaze and repaint its dials. With a few exceptions, such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday, the bells are to be silent until the work has been completed in the 2020s.
Apparently, the Rosson House has quite a bit of history. And, I'd love to see more of it one of these days.
Have a fabulous day, everyone...

The Distillery District is a national Historic Site with an incredibly rich history. The site was once The Gooderham and Worts Distillery, and represents the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America.
In its time, The Gooderham and Worts Distillery played an important role in the growth and wealth of both the city and nation. In addition to various involvements in real estate and banking, the company at one time contributed more to Federal coffers than any other enterprise in the country.
The Distillery Historic District opens in May 2003 and quickly becomes a vital part of the city and one of Canada’s top tourist attractions.
Bradford's 1870-3 gothic revival City Hall with its landmark clock tower and is Grade I listed. It was designed by architects Henry Lockwood and William Mawson, after a competition. The 61 metre high building was designed in the Venetian style, with the bell tower inspired by Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The building was substantially extended in 1902 to plans by Norman Shaw. Another wonderful example of VIctorian exuberance in Bradford.
Tower Bridge in London. A beautiful bridge that some people mistakenly call London Bridge. London Bridge is just a run of the mill bridge up river from here. Tourists can go up inside Tower Bridge and its an interesting little adventure especially for kids and big kids like me

Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.

The marker near the entrance to the building reads:
A fine example of Victorian architecture, this building was erected in 1892 by M. G. Richie. For many years it has served the city's business community. In 1893 the hall and banquet rooms upstairs were leased to Saint Helena Lodge No. 93 Free & Accepted Masons. The Lodge purchased the building in 1972.

This terrace along with many other surrounding buildings situated close to Derby railway station were earmarked for demolition before a public outcry and campaign to save them.
Built in 1842, to a design by Francis Thompson, these red brick cottages lining Railway Terrace, are grade II listed, and have benefited from refurbishment and renovation to great effect.
These, along with many similar surrounding structures, were part of the development of the area by the Midland Rail Company in the mid nineteenth century.
