Another from my visit to Newark. This is on Beastmarket Hill.
The building Ossington Coffee House, dates from 1881 when Charlotte, Viscountess Ossington, proposed a new café or coffee tavern in Newark. It was built close to the River Trent, opposite the castle and cattlemarket, on land bought from the Handley family. The purpose of the coffee house was to promote the cause of temperance and lure farmers away from the town’s public houses. The building has had many uses, including as stables, a hotel and a base for military personnel during both world wars.
On a plaque high up on the front of the building it reads,
"Ossington Coffee Palace. A perfect copy of a 17th Cent Hostelry erected in 1882 as a temperance hotel by Viscountess Ossington a daughter of the Fourth Duke of Portland and widow of the First Viscount Ossington one time speaker of the House Of Commons"
Currently it's Zizzi, an Italian chain restaurant for pizza.

When I visited Chester the 'Northgate' development was nearing completion. Michael and I ate at a nice (but deserted) Zizzi and then wandered around the little square outside. I like this type of architecture- keeping the classic look of a house but totally modernising it. I'll be interested to know what it looks like when the shops are in use (as I'm sure they are, now).

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.

Sea Bass with lemon butter sauce served on a bed of kale and green beans with roasted new potatoes. A plateful of deliciousness.

Another photo of the outside tables at the Waterfront Cafe, which is under the Spinnaker Tower. You can see a few of the restaurants along the waterfront, including Zizzi and Pizza Express. The grand old building you can see with the tower is the Vulcan Building, which houses the Aspex Gallery, where JJ's design office was until they moved around a year ago. It was one of the few historic buildings left over from when the area was HMS Nelson.
(The Vulcan Building, dating from 1804, is located in the historic Gunwharf Quays site in Portsmouth which now forms part of a mixed-use regeneration scheme comprising retail, restaurants and housing, and the landmark Spinnaker Tower viewing platform. The Vulcan Building had been previously used by the Royal Navy for storage of munitions and presented itself as a loft style warehouse with a massive timber floor and roof structure within a brick shell.)
Tombland, Norwich. The street just outside the main entrances to the Cathedral, is known as Tombland, derived from the Anglo-Saxon meaning of 'open space'. Zizzi is a grade 2 listed former coach house, dating from the early C19th.

The Ossington Coffee Tavern and Hostelry, Newark is also known by the name of The Ossington Coffee Palace and was opened in 1882. Designed as a copy of a 17C Hostelry, it was to be a temperance hotel and coffee place to lure drunks away from the towns public houses!
Built in the style of a 17thC Hostelry, it was the idea of Charlotte, Viscountess Ossington who was daughter of the 4th Duke of Portland and was designed as a Temperance Hotel - no alcohol!
The ground floor was originally the coffee place wth next door stabling for horses and even a 19thC bowling alley.
The building is now apartments on the upper floor with the bottom area being shared by a business and the Zizzi Restaurant.
Newark on Trent, Town Centre, Ossington Coffee Palace. Built in 1882, designed by Ernest George & Peto for Viscountess Ossington. It had a first floor assembly room for large gatherings, a reading room, library and a clubroom for Masonic societies, a billiard room, and bedrooms for travellers. The ground floor consisted of the coffee-house, stabling for horses, and even a bowling alley! Grade 2* listed. Now converted to apartments, offices and a restaurant. The statue of a Cavalier and a Roundhead was moved to the roundabout after being vandalised in a previous location. It dates from 1988, is named "The Defence of Newark" and was created by Neale Andrew.

Woken up to the sound of the letterbox snapping shut, and read Thomas the local newsletter in bed, entertaining ourselves with the trivialities of parish counselling. We head to town after lunch, and wander around until we head to the cinema to see Now You See Me. I love it; it's a mix of The Prestige's magic themes with the dramatic flair of last year's blockbusters, like The Dark Knight Rises. We head to Zizzi's for a bite to eat, and end up with a spontaneous three course meal of spinach and goats cheese ravioli and rich ice cream.

Inscriptions on a woodpile, in Zizzi's restaurant on the Strand, if I remember correctly.

Prior to a theatre visit last year we booked a table at the Zizzi branch on the Strand for lunch. A couple of tables away there were a group of adults with children and they were probably off to watch the Lion King at the Lyceum which is nearby. The kids did grow curious about these women with deep voices but I suppose kids are never too young to learn about how diverse life is.
With the magnificent dome of West Register House, formerly St. George's Church on the west side of Charlotte Square, here is MCV Volvo B8RLE / eVoRa number 84 (SJ70 HNW), arriving at Zizzi’s Italian restaurant in Queensferry Street, on the last Service 36 of the night, heading for Hermiston Gait. We have thirty of these sweet machines; fleet numbers 66 to 95, and hark at those interior red-striped lights, creating a rosy-glow effect for passengers.
The grand masterpiece of architecture at the head of the west end of George Street is a vision to behold, but there was a bit of a financial tussle with the design. In the end Robert Reid adopted Robert Adam's 1791 scheme of portico, dome and flanking pavilions, but making it all more bold in mass. The cost of the building rose to £23, 675 when the church was opened in 1814.
Note the restored Neo-Classical green-coppered dome which is meant to be a replica of St. Paul's in London, complete with tempietto lantern - a little Greek temple on the head of the dome.
Great day being Ann. Started the day in casual mode (unfortunately no photo) skinny jeans and blouse. So off to the supermarket for the big food shop. Also picked up this new dress I ordered from Argos!! big ques, seemed to take ages before we were served and I was only there to collect my internet order. Then lunch at Zizzi, again packed out. Mad dash home to get ready for guests arriving for drinks before going out to watch the mach in the pub. The new dress is a dream to wear, it's navy if you where wondering. As it was so warm we all sat out in the garden, until it was time to go. We had by now quite a bit to drink and poor Jessica was driving. The pub was not as busy as we thought it would be, but just before the game started more came in. Great night, so funny and sooo much more drink. Jess dropped us back home safe, if a little drunk........ Should I be posting this in such a state?
Just another thing ........Hick!
I'm going to bed.......
