The treatment may be contrasted with another in close proxmity The mini ziggurat in the brick wall is a nice touch.

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.

The green bottle motif is not uncommon, though rare in Hackney. Other adornments include a cowrie shell and a Tottenham Hotspur cockerel. Fine to very fine.
Quite bizarrely but pleasingly the original 1910 painted house name Trevethoe has survived, as has the original door. I like this quirky ensemble very much.
Perhaps immediately pre-WW1. Ideal for aluminium double glazing, a simple off white and grey palette has been chosen.
The left hand broken pediment has been removed in the interests of extending the cladding to maximum area.
This is a very rare occurrence, three clad houses in a row and all in different colours. Possibly the same signature is on all three treatments, but the gradation of colours from warm to neutral to cool is inspiring. A jarring note is sounded by the different treatment of the upper window arches, from non-existent (warm) to fine (middle house) to enlarged with an archless modern concrection on the right hand house. The screen block wall is , of course, a favourite of mine. This one looks very pretty.

The mosaic work on this protruberance beneath the fine pediment is really very special, a nice counterpoint to some neat stone cladding. Perhaps it will look better in early evening summer sun. A very difficult subject.

Not a particularly unusual style of cladding, but I thought the treatment of the wall and the path indicated a pride in the whole. There is even greenery in the garden. Shame about the parked cars. One to return to. Very nice.
Looking east toward Thornhill and Copper Mountain. If you look closely, you can see a couple of eagles and a raven in this shot.
I was in the park at c1pm (March 2006) and noticed footballers (Portugese I think) leaving the North Field by the north west gate. Two day-glo clad beat bobbies were stationed at the opposite corner of the north pitch and aroused my suspicions. I asked the footballers if they had been asked to stop playing by the cops. They had not, and said that they had, anyway, been coaching a team of kids. They had no idea of the campaign to banish team football from the park.
I then went over to the cops and they told me they were indeed there to support the Park Rangers who were meant to turn up to turf off any footballers. They were annoyed that the Rangers hadn't turned up yet. I had a conversation with them and assured them that the people who wanted a ban on group games were not the majority of local park users. I suggested that the role of community beat officers might be undermined by taking part in supporting such actions as it would alienate them from the very people they were trying to build trust with. I also suggested it was a waste of their valuable time and they would be better engaged in apprehending people engaged in truly anti-social activity. I would encourage any supporters of collective park activity from picnic, to demos to games to engage local beat bobbies or the Rangers with their views on this!
I visited the park at around 2pm and took some photos of people playing basketball, and number of people of mixed cultures starting to play football on the south pitch. I spoke briefly to the footballers who had recently been told by a member of the public that they 'weren't allowed' to play football in the park.
Informal football has been a tradition in the park for more than 20 years. It is difficult to expect a unity of action from a number of disparate teams to defend their turf. Lets hope that this anti community Council policy is un-enforcable and too costly in the long term.
By the way 'pitch' is the original term used to describe these areas of grass that it seems were originally intended to host ball games (even if political gatherings were banned).

exploring the tulbagh blockhouse with the clan
this particular block house is in bad condition, raided by locals for corrugated iron roof sheet/ cladding and the internal wooden floors/decking burnt.
117 years after. the ever present destructive monster in man/woman unkind.
photographer's note-
blockhouses were built by the british from 1899-1902 during the anglo-boer war to protect the railway bridges from
boer attacks
the stone is local while the remaining materials were imported from britain. some were constructed entirely from concrete
the block houses could house 20 men with water, munitions and supplies stored on the lower floor. The living quarters were on the middle floor and was accessible by a retractable ladder and the top floor was the lookout deck.
only about 1000 of these blockhouses were built and few have survived
they were very effective barriers and few saw any action.
end of note
*************************************
The building of blockhouses started in March 1900 to protect the railways, in particular the railway bridges. Many of these were impressive structures of stone, with corrugated iron roofs, standing three storeys high and enetred by an external wooden stair in the form of a drawbridge.
These were effective but also time consuming and costly to build. This led to more modest style structures being built in the form of rectangular, signle-storey buildings with a stone wall mounted upon which was a coorugated iron upperwork, this was pierced with loopholes and double skinned, the void between being filled with stones to block rifle fire. Even these structures were slow to construct and a solution to these was sort by Kitchener, he turned to Major Spring R Rice, Officer Commanding 23 Field Company, Royal Engineers based as Middleburg, Transvaal.
Major Rice designed two new forms of blockhouse, the first octagonal and the second, the one that became known as the 'Rice Blockhouse'. circular. This was made of of corrugated iron filled with a stone-filled, loopholed shield above and an earth-filled caisson below, the whole being topped off with a stone roof. When ideally sited the door was blocked approached under cover of a trench and the hillock on which it sat and the lower part of the walls was covered with loose stones for added protection. It was said that trained men could erect such a blockhouse in a single day and the record for erecting one was a mere three hours. It was usually garrisoned by a non-commissioned officer and six men. Outside the immediate area was protected by barbed wire and a barbed wire fence stretched between one blockhouse and the next, hung out with tin cans to make as much noise as possible when disturbed.
The fortifications in cluded numerous other modesl, often ad-hoc designs fashioned to meet the requirements of the location and adjusted to make the best of available materials, but the Rice design was the one that sprang up in huge numbers. By September 1901 the Western Railway blockhouse line from De Aar to Lobatsi, north of Mafeking, was complete, as was the Central Railway system from Naauwpoort to Pretoria and the Delalgoa Railway to the border of Koomati Poort. In addition a box west of Johannesburg and Pretoria and a line south-east to Standerton and Newcastle were operational. In the next three months the line north from Pretoria to Pietersberg was built, the Western Railwasy cover extended south-west to beaufort West and numerous additions made in Transvaal and was now Orange Colony. By May 1902 a line of blockhouses ran from Beaufort West right across Cape Colony to the Atlantic coast and yet more lines had been added elsewhere. By the end of the war there were 3,700 miles (6,000km) of lines with some 8,000 blockhouses manned by 50,000 British troops and 16,000 Africans.
