Darlington's spectacular Gothic Victorian covered market with clock tower and spire was completed in 1864. The bells on the Darlington clock tower were cast by John Warner & Sons who also cast the bells for Big Ben in London.
Darlington Markets taking place here include a Victorian Market, Farmers Market, Craft Fairs, an Italian Market and various other food festivals, markets and events.

At least the wall remains. And the companion house on the other side of Napier Road survives!
Belvedere Court on Mooragh Promenade. Converted to apartments in 2014 and still looking very smart. Originally built in 1888 as a hotel in the Victorian heyday of tourism on the Isle of Man.
The Hound of the Baskervilles [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hound_of_the_Baskervilles_(1921_film)] is on the cinema marquee (there was a 1,000-seat theatre inside the hotel).
The Heierstrasse is one of Viersen's most ancient streets, going back at least to Roman times. It led from the Roman villa - a "villa rustica" few hundred metres up the hill to the west - down to the meadows below, running alongside a stream which is now underground.
There were numerous Roman villas in what is now Viersen city, and they comprised the basis of a Carolingian Imperial estate. According to an ancient tradition, the Empress Helena (mother of Emperor Constantine) donated her estate here to St Gereon's in Cologne in the middle of the third century. Whether or not this donation is historically accurate, it is certainly probable that Viersen formed an Imperial estate in Carolingian times (see K. Mackes' publications for more detail on this).
In the early 15th century, a convent, St Paul's, was founded on two farming estates which lay on the south side of the Heierstrasse.
The row of Victorian houses pictured here was built on the site adjoining an estate first recorded in the thirteenth century (tho Ryth Hof). This, in turn, compirsed part of the "Kirchland" - land transferred from the castle holdings to the church and the convent probably during the 12th century. The castle holdings, in turn, derived from the imperial estate of Carolingian times. Imperial estates of Frankish times often derived from Roman villas.
this building is nice

Here are a couple of newspaper cuttings from 1965 giving some of the background to the demolition of this extraordinary building. While Messrs Miller didn't exactly come up with a scintillating design for the buildings that replaced it, they did offer to resell it - but no-one could find a use for it.
The Salt Lake City and County Building was completed in 1894.
The building is in the Richardsonian Romanesque style as evidenced by the stone work and arches.
It took three years to build. The building cost six times more and took five times longer to build than originally estimated.
The photo was taken of the western facade with the glow of a setting sun.

The bedroom ceiling has a mirrored dome inspired by Moorish examples – the decorative panels are stylised studies of wildlife and exotic natural forms.

Description: T.B. Stepehens, the owner of old Cumbooqueepa, was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly, a former Mayor of Brisbane, and (for ten years) proprietor of the Brisbane Courier newspaper. He also owned fellmongeries and wool scourers at Cleveland and Ekibin and acquired extensive landholdings in the Nerang district in the 1870s. His home was one of the grandest in the South Brisbane area, and remained so until ca. 1890, when it was demolished to make way for the South Coast railway line. His elest son William Stephens then erected a larger house on a higher site nearby. The original Cumbooqueepa with its decorative barge-boards, brick chimneys and substantial outbuildings stood on 16 acres of land and had a large garden stocked with banana plants, hoop-pine and prickly pear. The man standing behind the front gate was probably the gardener.

One of the folks on our tour bought these photos of Arden off Ebay. He was gracious enough to let us strangers handle them so I didn't feel it was my place to take the protective wrapping off before taking a photo. That's why there's all that reflection.

The Red Lion is a Grade II listed pub not far from Piccadilly. Gibbs and Sons were responsible for the mirrors and glasswork. For more detail go here. See the Half Moon in Herne Hill for more of their work

Badly damaged by arson in 2003 this condemned building in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio finally started being renovated in 2014. Amazing after 11 years of being condemned and empty it finally gets a new lease on life.
This lovely home should be in the Cotswolds but instead is across the street from an industrial park and part of the refuse transfer station - go figure. None the less quite a quaint statement.

This house was part of the Pequot Colony, a summer colony in New London, CT. It was built circa 1876.
Dated 1897 - originally the Huddersfield and Halifax Union Bank. Designed by Horsforth and Williams in full-blown Victorian Baroque with Corinthian columns and pilasters, lions' heads either side of the entrance and cherubs over the top. Ornamental swags are everywhere. From the days when banks strove to impose themselves in the town to enhance public trust. Today they occupy an ever greater presence in our lives while their buildings are on course to all but disappear from our streets. Grade II listed.
