Astley Green Mining Museum walkabouts
Liked this place a lot. Run by volunteers whose aim is to keep the history of coal mining alive. Great for general walkabouts with all sorts of heavy industrial equipment wanting you to take a photo.
Was smitten with this place & the bunch of lovely ex mining folk who made me very welcome, thank you
Chunks of old iron sat forlorn rusting away are probably the uninteresting photos you could think of !! so with this set I've gone for a 'cross colour' edit & as usual kept the white border , experimented with B&W which was my idea from the off but thought the watered down colours added a little more to the image, any feed back or tips would be appreciated ;-)))))))))

Death Stranding shot by me

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
~ John Donne
Meditation 17
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
À l’abandon depuis plus de 30 ans, le site de l’ancien hôpital de Bavière, à Liège, abritera à l’automne 2022 un pôle culturel provincial sur 5 niveaux sur une surface de 15.000 m². Le Pôle des Savoirs, dédié à la culture, au numérique et aux arts, accueillera notamment l’ancienne bibliothèque Les Chiroux, une pépinière d’entreprises, des espaces de convivialité pour accueillir des spectacles et événements, des lieux de restauration …
Réalisé par la Province de Liège avec le soutien de l’Europe et de la Wallonie, le Pôle des Savoirs constitue le premier élément, emblématique, d’un vaste projet public et privé de réhabilitation du quartier et de l’une des entrées de la ville. Le projet est en partie subsidié par des fonds FEDER.
Le bâtiment de 5 étages est revêtu d’une audacieuse « double peau » consistant en une façade supportée par un porte-à-faux variant de 1 à 3 mètres sur les étages supérieurs. La surface « verticale » de cette façade est d’environ 3100 m².
Le revêtement de la double peau est constitué d’un panaché de panneaux en zinc et en verre.
Ces panneaux sont supportés par une résille de profilés secondaires s’appuyant sur la structure primaire de lisses de d’arêtes définissant les différentes faces de la façade, elle-même supportée par des fermes verticales ancrées dans le bâtiment environ tous les 7,5 mètres aux différents niveaux de plancher.
Les fermes sont reliées par des coursives qui, en plus d’offrir une circulation technique pour l’entretien des façades, permet de contreventer l’ensemble de la structure notamment sous effet sismique.
Certaines zones de cette structure supportent, de surcroît, des terrasses accessibles au public entre la façade du bâtiment et la double peau.
Abandoned for more than 30 years, the site of the former Bavarian hospital, in Liège, will house a provincial cultural center on 5 levels in the fall of 2022 over an area of 15,000 m². The Pôle des Savoirs, dedicated to culture, digital technology and the arts, will notably house the former Les Chiroux library, a business incubator, convivial spaces to host shows and events, places to eat, etc.
Carried out by the Province of Liège with the support of Europe and Wallonia, the Pôle des Savoirs is the first emblematic element of a vast public and private project to rehabilitate the district and one of the entrances to the city. The project is partly subsidized by ERDF funds.
The 5-storey building is covered with a bold “double skin” consisting of a facade supported by a cantilever varying from 1 to 3 meters on the upper floors. The “vertical” surface of this facade is approximately 3100 m².
The coating of the double skin consists of a mix of zinc and glass panels.
These panels are supported by a mesh of secondary sections resting on the primary structure of stringers and edges defining the different faces of the facade, itself supported by vertical trusses anchored in the building approximately every 7.5 meters at different floor levels.
The trusses are connected by passageways which, in addition to providing technical circulation for the maintenance of the facades, make it possible to brace the entire structure, particularly under seismic effects.
Certain areas of this structure also support terraces accessible to the public between the facade of the building and the double skin.
