Liverpool Town Hall is the home of The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, situated within Liverpool’s prestigious World Heritage Site.
Built in 1749 and designed by John Wood, the Grade 1 listed Town Hall is recognised as one of the finest surviving town halls of the 18th Century – it is a masterful example of Georgian architecture.
Fortunes were made by Liverpool shipping merchants relating to the slave trade, evident in the decorative frieze, but Liverpool and the Town Hall found greater prosperity as a port in the years following its abolition.

Portpatrick is a village in the historical county of Wigtownshire Scotland. Dating back some 700 years and built adjacent to the ruins of nearby Dunskey Castle, Portpatrick's position on the Rhins of Galloway affords visitors views of the Northern Irish coast 21 miles (34 km) to the west, with cliff-top walks and beaches both north and south. The Gulf Stream, flowing in from the north, gives the coastline a pleasant climate, in which subtropical plant life can flourish.

The Conwy Valley line was constructed by the London and North Western Railway with the primary aim of transporting dressed slate from the Blaenau Ffestiniog quarries to a specially built quay at Deganwy for export by sea. The original plans envisaged a railhead at Betws-y-Coed and a large goods yard was established with intended interchange to a proposed narrow gauge line.Six trains each way per day call on a regular basis Mon-Sat (approximately every three hours), with three trains each way on Sundays between May and early September.

The Wirral Way is a path on the track of an old railway that goes from West Kirby to Hooton in mid-Wirral offering superb views over the Dee Estuary to Wales. Originally the railway formed a circuit of Wirral and this is the missing link.
It is situated within Wirral Country Park. Wirral Country Park is a place of contrasts. Birds nest in the dense hedges or feed on the berries in winter, and you may see up to ten kinds of butterfly in summer. From the boulder-clay cliffs look out over the Dee Estuary across its 31,500 acres to the Welsh shore, 5 miles away, and on a clear day you can see the familiar outline of Moel Famau in the Clwydian Hills. The estuary's ever-changing light, broad vistas and westerly sunsets reflected in the mudflats and the sea are a constant delight.

Elterwater is a village in the Lake District and the county of Cumbria. The village lies half a mile north-west of the lake of Elter Water, from which it derives its name. Both are situated in the valley of Great Langdale.
In the past, the principal industries have been farming and quarrying, with evidence of both still very visible.
John Ruskin attempted to set up a lace making industry here and artist Kurt Schwitters was a resident of nearby Chapel Stile, where one of his Merzbarn project was created.

Built in the mid 1800's Liverpool has many Neoclassical buildings
The unique ensemble of High Victorian neo-classical buildings around William Brown Street has been labelled the city's "Cultural Quarter". Located here are the William Brown Library and Museum opened 1860; it now houses the World Museum Liverpool and Liverpool Central Library), the Picton Library by Cornelius Sherlock 1879, and the Walker Art Gallery by Sherlock and H. H. Vale 1877. Not strictly a neo-classical design and much closer to Beaux-Arts architecture, the County Sessions House 1884 next to the Walker fits in with its more playful classical vocabulary.

The Centro district of Madrid is the oldest section of the city. Evidence of a stable settlement dates back to Spain's Muslim period. In the second half of the 9th century, the emir of Córdoba, Muhammad I (852–886), built a fortress on a promontory beside the river, the modern-day location of the Royal Palace. Its purpose was to watch the passes of the Sierra de Guadarrama and to initiate raids against the northern Christian countries.
