BUILT IN 1763 BY THE MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD, LEASOWE LIGHTHOUSE IS THE OLDEST BRICK BUILT LIGHTHOUSE IN BRITAIN. TWO LIGHTHOUSES WERE ERECTED ON THE COAST OF LEASOWE IN 1763 A 'LOWER LIGHT' ON THE SHORE AND AN 'UPPER LIGHT' ON THE SITE OF THE PRESENT BUILDING ON LEASOWE COMMON. THE THEORY WAS THAT THE APPROACHING SHIPS HAD ONLY TO LINE UP THE TWO LIGHTS TO ACHIEVE A SAFE ENTRANCE TO THE ROCK CHANNEL & PORT OF LIVERPOOL, BUT LOWER LIGHT COLLAPSED WITHIN JUST A FEW YEARS OF BEING BUILT, DUE TO STORM DAMAGE.
WHEN THE LOWER LIGHTHOUSE AT MOCKBEGGAR WHARF COLLAPSED INTO THE SEA IN 1769, INSTEAD OF BUILDING ANOTHER LIGHTHOUSE IN THE SAME PLACE (AND RISK IT BEING WASHED AWAY), IT WAS DECIDED TO BUILD A NEW LIGHTHOUSE FURTHER BACK IN THE SAME ALIGNMENT. BIDSTON HILL PROVIDED THE RIGHT LOCATION. BEING IN LINE WITH THE HORSE CHANNEL AND THE REMAINING MOCKBEGGAR LIGHT AT LEASOWE, A NEW LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SIGNALS STATION COULD TAKE OVER AS THE REAR SEA LIGHT. ITS ELEVATED SITUATION MEANT THAT A SMALLER, AND CHEAPER, TOWER COULD BE BUILT, AWAY FROM THE RAVAGES OF THE SEA. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HUTCHINSON’S INVENTION MEANT THAT THE LIGHT WOULD BE VISIBLE AT A DISTANCE OF 21 MILES.
THERE ARE SEVEN FLOORS IN LEASOWE LIGHTHOUSE, WHICH CAN BE REACHED BY A CAST IRON SPIRAL STAIRCASE OF 130 STEPS. LEASOWE LIGHTHOUSE STANDS ONE HUNDRED AND ONE FEET (27 METRES) TALL ON LEASOWE COMMON IN THE WIRRAL.
NOW A SITE OF PUBLIC INTEREST, THE LIGHTHOUSE FEATURES GUIDED TOURS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND A VISITOR CENTRE WITH DISPLAYS ABOUT LEASOWE LIGHTHOUSE.THE LIGHTHOUSE IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH THROUGHOUT THE WINTER, AND IN THE SUMMER IT IS OPEN ON THE FIRST AND THIRD SUNDAYS, 1PM UNTIL 4PM.TEL: 0151 648 4371.

Built in 1954, this building was demolished in 2006. A new school then built on this site with modern facilities.
Many thanks to Philip North for this picture of the Genco power-tool shop on Parramatta Road in Stanmore, Sydney, taken in 1987. The flat above it had not been re-carpeted since it was built, and there was a cockroach in every corner. This is the place where I read 'Miller's Anatomy of the Dog', and tried to make sense of Biometry, before realising that I would be much happier doing History and Archaeology than Vet Science.
Harry, the old man who lived downstairs, ate nothing but boiled meat and potatoes - or so it seemed, judging by the smells that emanated from beneath his door. He used to lurk behind it like a trapdoor-spider, waiting to pounce on my friends whenever they came to visit. He would thrust his gap-toothed countenance at them, rasping, "Whatter yer doin' in 'ere?", enveloping them in a fug of alcohol. Welcome to Stanmore.
The burglar alarm in the power tool shop was hypersensitive. It used to go off in the middle of the night whenever a cockroach crawled across it - and there were, as I think I mentioned - a lot of cockroaches. Just across the road was the motorcycle shop. It was never open during the day, but at night, there were surreptitious goings-on. The local Mr Whippy van used to back into the yard beside the shop at 2 o’clock every morning. On the side of the van, there was a big sign saying, “Snow Cones”. One night, the police descended in a flurry of blue lights and sirens, and the Mr Whippy van never came again.
In the heat of summer, there was no better place to spend an hour writing poetry - or reading Brautigan, Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti - than the Green Man’s shop. The Green Man kept a traditional Aussie milk-bar, serving milkshakes in tin tumblers. We called him the Green Man because he seemed to spend all his life in the shop, haunting its shadier recesses like Boris Karloff on sabbatical, and his skin was as colourless as a cave-fish, but tinged with green when it caught the artificial light. We would drink our milkshakes, glance in awe at the Green Man, and experiment with disgusting menthol cigarettes.
You could get a meal in the local Mexican restaurant, and cinema tickets thrown in, for less than the price of a bag of shopping. I had tacos and enchiladas, and went to see Peter Weir’s ‘Witness’ until I could recite the whole screenplay. I started dressing like an Amish. Between the flat and the cinema, there was a wide doorway with a concrete floor. An old man slept there every night with his dog, and when winter came, he was shivering in his sleep. We snuck up and covered him with a rolled-up blanket. When we came past the next night, he was still shivering on the cold concrete, but his dog was in a state of bliss, cocooned in layers of wool.

A real gem of a puzzle!
Built in 1930 and designed by architects Layton, Hicks & Forsyth, who were considered the major designers of Territorial and early Statehood Oklahoma, this is considered to be the best example of Art Deco architecture in Oklahoma City.
This building is ornate and lavishly decorated in all respects. The brickwork consists of raised and lowered bricks, and bricks set on angles, to give a stunning appeal to the eye. It is covered with terra cotta and cast stone accents some of which can be seen in the Gallery.
This is a two-story yellow brick school which is asymmetrical, and faces the corner of the property. Each of the side wings is angled off the main portion, parallel to the side streets of May Avenue and N. W. 23rd Street.
The main entrance has an ornate terra cotta surround with stepped panels which give the impression of Corinthian columns. Above the doors are three rows of motifs: rosettes, egg and dart, and interwoven chevrons. A large, ornate tower rises above the entrance, fifteen feet above the parapet.
On each side of the main entrance are four 4 ft by 10 ft. panels with frieze art depicting the elements of education and citizenship. The panels are heavily decorative.
Built in 1978 (c/n WA033) this Lynx WA033, was initially used as a trials machine and had the constructor's registration G-17-21. She was then one of three Lynx Mk. 28s, which was an export version of the AH. Mk. 1, purchased by the Qatar Police and delivered in 1978. After being retired, she returned to the UK and became a ground instructional airframe at RNAY Fleetlands. Now owned by Andy Rawden, she's been loaned to the Newark Air Museum. Hopefully, this unusual Lynx will join the queue for some restoration work at the museum. Some of the panels, including the cabin door are definitely not original and betray their Army and Navy Lynx origins.
Built in 1902, its bell towers were added in 1918. It is said to be the first western building in Daegu.
Built ca. the 1870s, this Italianate structure contributes to the Kingston Stockade Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building on the left features an eave cornice manufactured by the Mesker Bros. Iron Works of Saint Louis.
Kingston, New York is a lovely, small Hudson Valley city located about 60 miles south of Albany, and about 30 miles northwest of Poughkeepsie. It serves as the shire town of Ulster County, and traces its establishment to 1652 during the Dutch Colonial period.

Why are we doing it
The existing A465 was built in the 1960s and is a single three lane carriageway with two lanes in the uphill direction and one in the downhill direction. A regional traffic study in 1990 identified the need to improve this road. This improvement to the A465 is critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area.
The width of the road restricts traffic flow and opportunities for safe overtaking. In many areas there is poor visibility. Accidents on this stretch are concentrated around junctions and areas with poor visibility
This improvement to the A465 is critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area. It will improve access to key services, jobs and markets supporting inward investment to areas such as the Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone.
Current progress
Some of the construction progress to date includes:
2 new bridges at Glanbaiden roundabout have been completed and will be open to traffic soon.
The concrete arch bridge at Gilwern has been erected and the traffic is running through the arch. This bridge is the largest of its type in the world.
The footbridge at Gilwern has been lifted into place and will soon be open for use.
Extensive work has been carried out along the length of the scheme to steepen the surrounding ground and enable widening of the carriageway.
The works have included the construction of 6200m of retaining walls to date and installation of over 6000 soil nails.
The 2 road bridges at Saleyard are nearing completion. These will be open for traffic use before the end of 2017.
A total of 33 diversions to Statutory Undertaker apparatus (water mains, gas mains, phone lines and electricity supplies etc.) have been completed. These have included major diversions work to two high pressure gas mains and a water main that required a new 1.5m wide, 100m long tunnel at a depth of 20m below the surface.
The treatment of a number of old mine workings uncovered near the Brynmawr junction.
The abutments for the Gateway Bridge at bridge at Brynmawr have been completed. Work will begin on the crossing structure at the end of Summer 2017.
Over 4000 trees have been planted within the scheme footprint.

How we consulted
We consulted on improvements to the A465 between Abergavenny and Hirwaun in 1994 as part of the process to develop the preferred route for the whole project.
In 2011 we held a series of public information exhibitions, presentations to local interest groups and meetings with local landowners and businesses We gathered information at these events to help the team understand how this section fit with local priorities, objectives and policies. This influenced the scheme design.
We held exhibitions of the draft orders in November 2013. These provided details of the final scheme which we then took through the statutory planning process.
An independent inspector held a public local inquiry in March & April 2014, where supporters and objectors to the scheme were able to present their case.
Alternative routes proposed by objectors were considered in a public inquiry alongside our published scheme.

Having been on a tour of the decommissioned Kew Lunatic Asylum many years
ago, I was very interested to visit the site again recently and to see the
housing development that has taken place in the grounds. I was there in late
afternoon light and took soooo many photos, but have whittled them down in
number to 51 which I will post on Flickr over the coming days. I hope I
won't bore you all to tears in the process !!
"Operational from 1871 to 1988, Kew Lunatic Asylum was one of the largest
asylums ever built in Australia. Later known as Willsmere, the complex of
buildings were constructed between 1864 and 1872 to the design of architects
G. W. Vivian and Frederick Kawerau of the Victorian Public Works Office to
house the growing number of "lunatics", "inebriates", and "idiots" in the
Colony of Victoria."
"The hospital complex was re-developed by Central Equity into residential
apartments. The Willsmere residential development was officially opened on
27 October 1993 by Premier Jeff Kennett.
The remaining grasslands between the Eastern Freeway and the main hospital
buildings, including the site of the asylum's cricket field were developed
as the Kew Gardens residential estate. The Kew Gardens project was completed
in 1995.
The buildings and grounds of the Kew Cottages (formerly the grounds of Kew
Asylum) are currently being redeveloped as the "Main Drive" project by
Walker Corporation."

"Surrounded by sweeping parkland, wide boulevards and trees that have stood
for more than a century, Main Drive Kew offers unsurpassed contemporary
architecture in an unrivalled botanic setting."
"Sprawling across a 27-hectare woodland sanctuary, Main Drive Kew's
individually designed homes are adjacent to the magnificent Studley Park and
nestled amongst Melbourne's best schools, premium golf courses, designer
shopping and the glorious Yarra River.
Historic gardens dotted with spreading Oaks, grand Moreton Bay Figs, Claret
Ash and Brazilian Rosewood provide a majestic setting. The heritage walkway
connects you to the Studley Park precinct."
