Part of the tree enclosed courtyard at Grantham House, Castlegate, Grantham recently taken over by the church.
It was late when I processed and uploaded the original, in the cold light of morning I noticed the awful green fringing around the roof line. I had to sort it and repost.
Leith hall is reportedly haunted, a ghost believed to be that of Laird John Leith III who was killed on Christmas Day in 1763 in Aberdeen at Archie Campbell's Tavern in the Castlegate during a drunken brawl in which he was shot in the head. The ghost of John is said to appear in great pain wearing highland dress, his head covered in bloody bandages.
So this was last week when we had snow....it was very pretty but caused mayhem as it always does here :)
I've not been on here for a while - so hopefully catch up soon :)

Grantham House & The Parish Church of Saint Wulfram
Grantham House is located on Castlegate in the town, close to St Wulfram's Church. The house was originally built in 1380 and is one of the oldest buildings in Grantham. The house has been remodelled many times over the centuries and today has a grand Georgian facade. The building and gardens are owned and managed by the National Trust.
The stable block sits north of the main house and was built in the 16th century, along with the house it is Grade I listed.
The market town of Grantham is situated in the district of South Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire. It is located on the A1 and East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. It lies 23 miles south of the city of Lincoln and 22 miles east from the city of Nottingham.
Probably the main local landmark is the parish church of St Wulfram's, which is the third tallest church in England at 282ft, after St Walburgh in Preston, Lancashire and St James' Church in Louth, also in Lincolnshire.
The oldest part of the church is some Norman pillars in the eastern nave from an earlier cruciform church. The lady chapel and the crypt below it are from the 14th century. On the upper floor of the early 13th century south porch is an Elizabethan chained-library with books bequeathed by Francis Trigge, a local puritan clergyman, the library was founded in 1598 and is claimed to be the first public reference library in England.
The chancel contains a large and elaborate Reredos by Sir Arthur Bloomfield in 1883, which was enlarged by Sir Walter Tapper in 1901 when he added the outer border.
The west tower and spire, built between 1280 and 1300, have been described by many historians as the most perfect medieval steeple in England.

By the summer of 2000, it just didn't get any better than this. Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5354, 5347, 5401, 5345, and 5349 are cut in 45 cars deep on a 74-car MDVRO 21 at Castle Gate on July 22, 2000. The five tunnel motor set will stay cut in, down the west slope from Soldier Summit to Castilla, where they will cut out, and couple to the rear of the LJI44 22 'Dirt Train', and shove it east to the summit.

Castle Gate è una città fantasma, una città mineraria a circa 140 km a sud-est di Salt Lake City.
Il suo nome deriva da una formazione rocciosa vicino alla foce del Price Canyon.
Questa formazione presenta due pareti di arenaria a strapiombo su entrambi i lati del fiume Price, che sembrano aprirsi come un enorme cancello quando i viaggiatori si avvicinano a questa stretta sezione del canyon.

We stopped in town tonight after going to the supermarket, to pick up a take-away menu from a Gurkha restaurant. I wouldn’t be able to eat the solid meals myself but don’t want to deprive my wife of the opportunity to try them out.
Opposite where we parked the car is this antiques and collectors shop that has proved to be a great subject to photograph whilst it is dark, as the interior is brightly lit up!
They have already started on a display for the forthcoming Remembrance Day and Sunday period. If you don’t know, November the 11th is Remembrance Day. The day and time that WW1 finished officially at 11am on Nov 11th 1918. Nowadays the Remembrance period enables us to remember and reflect on those killed and fallen in the many wars and conflicts since WW1 such as WW2, Korea, Malaysia, Suez, N.Ireland, the Falklands and the Gulf.!
CASTLEGATE GETS GREY TO GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The scheme links Castlegate to the under-visited ‘hidden jewel’ of Victoria Quays and has transformed the almost redundant former inner ring road from a barrier to a green corridor with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art.
Castlegate (the Street) has been closed to vehicles to create a large riverside terrace with potential to accommodate outdoor seating for existing and future cafes and bars including the former public toilet due to open as the Two Rivers Bar and the Tap and Barrel, now under new management by the Peddlers Market team. The street will also hold the newly established Sheffield Pollen Market, the first fresh flower market in Sheffield, which will take place every third Sunday of the month.
Fifty-seven new trees have been planted as part of the scheme, along with a multitude of low maintenance perennial meadow plants and bulbs which will provide a year long succession of colour and natural habitat for insects, birds and mammals.
The scheme includes four distinctive, specially designed ‘totems’ containing ‘bug hotels’ which provide places for bees and other insects to thrive, along with nature and heritage insights.
Medieval "Castle Gate", also named Hissar Kapia, built in the XI-th century AD over the foundations of a Roman gate (probably from the 2nd century AD).

I can't imagine a better way to view the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad than via a Budd Vista Dome car. Perhaps riding on the observation platform of Rio Grande business car 'Wilson McCarthy' would be even better. Train No. 17 is pictured blasting through Castle Gate on a perfect June 19, 1978 evening in Utah's Price Canyon.

Germany - Lubeck: Burgator from Burgatorbrucke.
Burgator - Fortifications
Burgator with fortifications in front protecting the only land access to Lubeck. As seen from the north end of the Burgatorbrucke (Burgator Bridge) of Aldstadt, Lubeck. The spire will be that of Jakobskirche - St. Jacob's Church.
A guest of the writer Ida Boy-Ed of whom I have already made mention, was sculptor Fritz Behn, who created the two lions on Burgatorbrucke. On the left is one of these two lions.
Prof. Fritz Behn (1878-1970) of one of the most famous animal-sculptors and animal-painter of the 20th century.
He also designed human form in sculptures and paintings. The big sculptures exhibited open-air in the spa resort found their appropriate places in such manner that their forms and artistic qualities show lively effects.
However, the range of sculptures exhibited in Bad Dürrheim represents only a part of the works of Fritz Behn. His big sculptures are spread over German towns via Africa to South America all over the world. (Somewhere on the Web??
