1902-5, by W Alexander Harvey. Red brick with stone dressings; slate roof, On the
left a big square entrance tower. Pointed arched doorway approached up steps. Its
bold keystone carries an oriel window with carved base and pointed stone roof.
Above and to the left of this a clock. The tower is surmounted by a cupola dating
in its present form from 1934 and containing 48 bells. The cupola consists of 8
slender copper-clad columns supporting a shallow ogee copper roof. On the left
return of the tower, another pointed arched doorway approached up steps and a
polygonal staircase turret with traceried window below its stone roof. To the
right of the entrance tower and set back from it, the central hall lit by dormer
windows in the roof and terminating on the right in a gable surmounted by a stone
louvered structure. From in front of this hall project the lower gabled classrooms,
3 of them, then, slightly advanced, a pointed arched doorway in a stone wall and a
fourth gabled classroom. Inside, the roof of the hall rises from lance curved braces
and there are frescoes of 1914 by Mary Sargant Florence and Mary Creighton McDowall.
The carving throughout is by Bengamin Creswick.

This is a redevelopment of Charter Place in Watford Town Centre. Photos are of the revamping of one the multi-storey car parks.
Fine stone cladding, fine net curtains. Excellent monochrome work, nicely covering decorative yellow and red brickwork as seen either side. Original window apertures have been retained and sash-effect replacement windows installed which look quite acceptable. The door, on the other hand...
The wall is quite disappointing.
It was raining as I took this photo. Keeping the lens clear of water droplets ensured the photo was taken quickly! This is another old colonial house, where corrugated iron has been used to clad the walls as well as it's more normal use as a roof covering. The curtains inside suggest the house is very old, but I'm much less sure whether the house is abandoned. Probably not. Agapanthus flower heads are in the foreground.

Burlington Danes School, in west London, was built 1936-7 to a design by the Modernist practice Burnet, Tait & Lorne. The structure is brick cladding on a reinforced concrete frame.
I arrived to photograph it at about 3.30 in the afternoon. At the gates stood a man in a para-military uniform. "Security" no doubt. When I returned from a reconnaissance of the side of the building he had gone. "Good", I thought. However, within a few minutes two of the teaching staff appeared. My obvious curiosity about the building attracted their attention.
"Can I help you?"
I explained that I had hoped, if there were no objection, that I might take a photograph. Actually I was being nice. The building was fully visible from the street and I was going to take a photo whether they liked it or not. My interlocutor, a nice middle-aged lady, said that she thought it would be alright so long as none of the students were in view. I groaned inwardly ...and noted the unspoken insinuation. I noted too that she had said "students", where I would have preferred to say "schoolchildren" and wondered, not for the first time, to what extent the problem of "paedophilia" (strictly speaking a meaningless and illiterate word ...but let that pass) is the result of the mad and wicked modern insistence that childhood is something to be rushed through as quickly as possible and that children should take on the appurtenances of adulthood at the earliest possible age. A growing trickle of pupils was now emerging from the school's doorway. "It should be all clear in about fifteen minutes", said the nice lady. I had been walking for several hours and was in need of refreshment. Over her shoulder I saw a large pub on the opposite side of the road. "I'll come back later", I said.
Nearly half an hour later, after partaking of some fortified cordial waters, I returned to the school gate. My nice lady had disappeared and there were now three male teachers. Oh well. Might as well brazen it out. I took two paces inside the gate and raised my camera.
"Excuse me".
I repeated my explainer about wanting to take a photograph of the building.
"Have you been given permission?"
"No", I replied, "I could take an almost identical photograph from the pavement, in which case no permission would be necessary, but there is a slightly better view from here".
The three teachers conferred. Once again I was told that I could take a photo as long as no student was in the picture. "We even have to get written permission from the parents to take photographs of the students for school purposes", he added.
To be fair he was perfectly polite and correct. You have to feel a little bit sympathetic towards anyone placed in the position of having to defend a policy which he probably thinks just as idiotic as you do. What nonsense it is! If I had an unwholesome interest in taking photographs of children there would be nothing to stop me from doing it in a public place. I'd have to be a complete fool to turn up at the gates of a school to take them. Of course, patrolling the school gates makes no difference whatsoever. It merely shifts potential problems to another place. It's all about the avoidance of legal liability.

A natty little porch with sloping roof has been built to remove any trace of the rounded arch with keystone (as next door) The natural choice of finish is stone cladding. Some of the mortar is a bit messy. One can't fault the wonderful pebbledash which masks the yellow brick with red banding. Mid to late 1880s I guess. The stock brick wall belongs to next door, but provides contrapuntal interest.

Product Description
CCS wire is also known as "CP" wire, high-class and low-Carbon steel is chose as core, clad by non-oxygenic pure copper evenly by mechanical method, then plated by pure Tin. Due to the high purity of layers, the copper layer and tin layer are combined close-grainedly. Ccs wire can be sorted to annealed(A) and hard(H).
Tinned CCS wire combines the high electricity conductivity & magneto conductivity of Copper, high strength of steel and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance of tin, has oxidation resistance at high temperature. Since its superior strength and weldability, resistance to bending, firm welding point, its anti-vibration up to 3-6 times of pure copper wire, easy to automate.
Application:
This wire is widely used for lead wire & jumper wire of electronic components, core of RF cable, it has become a perfect wire of communication, electronics and electric power industry.

An extension of iron Aelfred designed by joel cooper and folded by me from an uncut irregular concave octagon. Named after a character in super paper mario since it has a comically large mustache. I'm pretty happy with the shininess of the paint. But I'm trying to get away from glossy acrylics and trying to transition into acrylics with more of a matte finish.
