A few years ago, Cambridge City Council was criticized in the press over the poor quality of its ageing public toilets. The council responded by commissioning architect Freeland Rees Roberts to design some stylish new toilet blocks for Cambridge's parks and public spaces. The first was built in a corner of Parker's Piece in 2004. And this, the second one, was built on Midsummer Common in 2005.
The unusually shaped copper roof was designed by the architects to complement shape and colour of neighbouring avenue of Horse Chestnut trees than run along Victoria Avenue.

Back inside to the 3 rd layer of insulation, wood cladding. I lost count of how many packs we bought. You can see also the wires protruding where the sockets will be. Holes drilled through the vertical batons to join the electrics in a loop from socket to socket then into the fuse box.
A tin-clad barn sits beside a 100+ year old wooden silo, both of them hanging on to life as best they can. Round wooden silos were a development that came because rectangular structures had corners that led to spoilage. The first round wooden silos were built in the later 1800s and few remain today. This one is particularly interesting as the wood was laid horizontally rather than the more common method of iron staves holding long boards vertically.
Built by Arne Jacobsen and clad with Norwegian marble, it represents Danish design and architecture at their best ...The interior is more luscious in its expression with oaken parquet floors, ceramic tile floors in various patterns, specially designed wooden furniture, glass walls, wooden walls and large wall paintings and decorations
Firle Place is a Manor house in Firle, East Sussex, United Kingdom and is the family seat of Nicolas Gage, 8th Viscount Gage, whose family the Viscounts Gage have owned the land at Firle since acquiring it from the Levett family in the 15th century. The manor house was first built in the late 15th century by Sir John Gage, who made Firle Place his principal home. He held many high offices, including Constable of the Tower and was an executor of Henry VIII's will.
The external cladding of the building is Georgian, using Caen Stone to make it look like a classical French Chateau. This work was completed by Sir William Gage, 7th Baronet who inherited the house in 1713 and the house is set in typically open parkland. The interior of the house however is Tudor in style and circulates around a central courtyard. The house has an extensive collection of paintings, porcelain and furniture, including works by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Van Dyck, Raphael, Puligo, Zoffany and Teniers.
During World War I, students from the nearby Southover Manor School in Lewes were housed here, and during World War II, Canadian soldiers were quartered here.
Open to the public during the summer months, the house and grounds area also used as a film and television location, it has featured in shows, including the BBC's Jonathan Creek and the three-part miniseries The Line of Beauty. BBC's Bake Off Creme de la Creme Series 2 which aired in 2017.
Since the 15th century the Gages have lived at Firle, following the marriage of William Gage to Agnes Bolney whose family had previously owned the seat at Firle. (The Bolneys held the lordship of Firle briefly after acquiring it from the bankrupt lord of the manor Thomas Levett.) This holding was further expanded by their son Sir John Gage who inherited land belonging to his father-in-law, Sir Thomas St Clere. In 1479 a second John Gage was born and it was he who became the ward to the Duke of Buckingham when his father died in 1497.
Sir John became quite prominent at the court of King Henry VIII and even accompanied the king on an expedition to France. Following such campaigns and his competence in battle he was appointed Vice-Chamberlain to the King. Sir John also served as a key figure in the dissolution of the monasteries in Sussex, despite the fact that he remained a Catholic.
Sir John's son, Edward, later became a Knight of the Bath and the Sheriff of Sussex and in 1556 oversaw the execution of the 17 "Sussex Martyrs" during the Marian Persecutions of 1555–57.
The Gage Baronet was created by John Gage (d. 1633) in 1622. The 7th Baronet, Sir William Gage (1695–1744), was notable for his interest in cricket, particularly in Sussex. It is often thought that beginnings of what is now Firle Cricket Club started with Sir William. In 1754 this Baronet title was raised by Irish-born Thomas Gage to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Gage and Viscount Gage.
Another notable Gage is General Thomas Gage who was made Commander in Chief of the British forces in North America. However, following the outbreak of the American War of Independence, he was relatively successful but after disastrous losses at Battle of Bunker Hill he was replaced. His son, also called Thomas Gage (1781–1820), following what was now a family tradition was a botanist and traveller and had the Gagea genus of flower named after him.
The current Viscount Gage, Henry Nicholas Gage, lives at Firle. For more information please visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firle_Place and firle.com/
A snow clad Cannon heath Down near Kingsclere.
This hill is covered in gallops to train race horses, and there are some particularly good views over the north Hampshire countryside. Here you can see the scrubby north-eastern slopes of Cannon Heath Down.
This is the view from the Kingsclere to Whitchurch road layby. About a mile beyond the down is Watership Down. The name "Watership Down" was not mentioned anywhere here; the large information board on the other side of the road mentions only "White Hill." The lack of "Watership Down" signs may be a deliberate policy on behalf of the local authorities. For one thing, chalk downland is a fragile environment, and it would do the area no good at all to have even more visitor's walking up and down it. However the main reason may be a more practical one - that as with the street signs in Liverpool's Penny Lane, any "Watership Down" signs would simply be spirited away by misguided "Watership Down" enthusiasts.
(CNN) — When the coronavirus pandemic shut down his restaurants, Colton Weiss knew that to survive, he would need a creative (and safe) solution to keep serving his customers.
So he started thinking like his grandfather.
Weiss' grandfather, Mel Weiss, was the first to bring carhop dining — in which waiters bring a restaurant order directly to people in their cars — to San Francisco in 1947.
The popularity of carhop dining evolved in America in tandem with the popularity of the automobile itself, predating the fast-food drive-through and reaching a peak in the years following World War II. The elder Weiss had seen the roller-skating, poodle-skirt-clad waitresses delivering trays of burgers and shakes to diners seated in their Buick Roadmasters and Chevy Aerosedans at eateries across Los Angeles.
So he took a chance and introduced the concept to Northern California, importing the kitschy carside service to his very first Mel's Drive In location, at 140 South Van Ness Avenue, and securing Mel's Drive In a place in car culture history
today I've been fitting some new security cladding to the front of the house - the secret of its sucess is that it looks just like regular bricks - no need to alarm the neigbours - just act casual - don't think anyone's spotted it - thought I'd give it a coat of paint so it really blends in - the Zebras haven't noticed anything unusual - thanks for looking - best bigger

Description of Historic Place
The Charles R. Cole House is an ornate, two and one-half storey Queen Anne Revival style dwelling that typifies the fine homes being built for prominent Windsor citizens in the 1890s.
Located in central Windsor, it is recognized for its heritage value by City of Windsor Bylaw 34-2003.
Heritage Value
This building is a well-preserved example of the fine homes once built for prominent Windsor citizens in the 1890s. It is named for its association with carpenter/contractor Charles R. Cole who built the house for his family in 1891. Mr. Cole also owned a grocery store, served as an alderman and water commissioner, and was active in the Masonic Order. Tragically, he took his own life in 1903, being distraught over the death of his only daughter.
The Charles R. Cole House is an excellent example of a charming Queen Anne Revival style clapboard home. It is characterized by asymmetrical massing, a variety of roof forms, fine detailing and major decorative elements that have remained intact. The carved gingerbread on the gable ends, the ornate wrap-around porch with a crown of carved wooden spindles, and bay windows, which boast stained glass and ornately carved mullions all define the Queen Anne style and speak to the prominence of the owner at the time of building.
Character-Defining Elements
Key character defining elements that express the building's heritage value include its:
- asymmetrical massing;
- 2 ½-storey frame construction with clapboard cladding
- gingerbread mouldings on the gable ends
- bay windows with decorative carved mullions and transoms with brackets holding shallow mansard-style roofs
- stained glass windows in the front bay, entrance transom light, and porch façade
- curved wrap-around porch featuring moulded round columns and decorative wood brackets holding an open crown of carved wooden spindles
- complementary interior elements include inlayed hardwood floors, French doors and natural oak trim

There is a distance view of Spaunton village in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park from Bottomsfield Lane. Part of a walk from Appleton le Moors to Hutton le Hole.

got the M9-P re-clad while the sensor was being replaced - never got around to taking a shot of it though.
My brother's Manus' family have been building a new house - they will move in in April. I am amazed at the quality of the stone cladding. I think it is art- I could look at the patterns for ages.. All of the stone you see has been collected from around the house, either surface stones lying on the field or from the earth dug out for the foundations. This earth was riddled with a tractor riddle and then washed and left in piles for the stonemasons to pick over and use.
As a gardener I usually curse having stony ground. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining waiting to be found.

Yesterday I went to my favoured woodyard to get a price for imported 150mm x 35mm redwood Loglap treated green (tanalised) shed timber cladding. For a 4.2m long piece it was £25.80 (inc VAT). Expensive.
They have brilliant customer service, and the guy behind the counter introduced me to this composite cladding, perfect for a shed.
It comes in slightly cheaper than the Loglap timber… But… it never needs painting or staining. Just power washing annually!
There are 8 colours available… Ivory, Light grey, Teak, Redwood, Stone grey, Olive green, Charcoal, and Coffee.
Current we’re mulling it over, but, we like the Charcoal.
