A defunct Mexican restaurant in Provo near Brigham Young University. It is back in the corner of a shopping center which never seems to get much business. The place looks like it was quite interesting in its day. It is always sad to see local businesses fail but at least there were some interesting things to shoot. The emotional part of me wants to try to reopen the place but the business part says WRONG!
The ceiling at the Elgin Theatre, in Toronto, Ontario. The theatre has been restored 100% to it's original appearance as in 1813. This ceiling is actually free hanging - suspended from the floor of the Winter Theatre above. There are catwalks and speakers between this floating ceiling and the real ceiling.

The Neptune Hotel (1794-97) was designed by George Pycock as part of the Trinity House project upgrading its Whitefriargate properties. The Neptune boasted 22 four-poster beds and closed in 1815, becoming Hull's Customs House until 1912. Part of the Neptune has served as a retail outlet for Boots the Chemist for a number of years. The staff canteen, originally the Hotel's banqueting room, retains the original decorative plaster ceiling.

Westwood Mill is a Grade II listed building is privately owned by Michael Wilson Restorations. Permission was given in October 2005 for it to be redeveloped in a similar scheme to the nearby Titanic Mills. Today it is derelict and ruined.
Westwood Mill is believed to be the earliest surviving woollen mill in the Colne Valley and shows different phases of construction over a long period. It was originally powered by water from the adjacent mill pond. The earliest part of the building was a scribbling mill (preparation of raw fleece), powered by water from it's own (now filled in) mill pond. It was built in 1798 while the canal itself was being built. The waterwheel that powered the mill was replaced in 1920 by an 85hp water turbine manufactured by William Gunther and Sons, Oldham.
The mill was used in the production of textiles, with clothierJohn Shaw leasing the mill in 1824.
