Currently deemed to be a "Dangerous Structure" by Portsmouth City Council
This photo was taken today, 4th Feb 2015 at lunchtime. It was so cold the seafront was virtually deserted even though it looked like a summers day with the bright clear lighting.
Built in 1875 and currently closed and undergoing major refurbishment and repair by the new owners to make it safe.
South Parade Pier was very badly damaged by fire during the filming of the Who's Rock Opera "Tommy" back in the 70's.
The pier is currently too dangerous to walk on owing to rust and decay.
The highly visible rust on the castellated beams and piles will mean a lot of investigation and repair before it is safe to open.
Some of the castellated steel beams look to have very badly corroded flanges.
The Engineers will have to decide how much steel is replaced and repaired and how much is safe to leave.
Before it can reopen it will of course have to have a full safety inspection by a Structural Engineer and Portsmouth City Council

Capacity: 700.
This building was originally the Kings Cross Cinema which opened in 1920. Bought by Gaumont which in turn became part of the Rank Organisation, it was for a time called a Gaumont and then an Odeon. It closed as a cinema in 1975. Towards the end it was also a music venue featuring Prog Rock bands of the period such as Barclay James Harvest, Third Ear Band and East of Eden. First promoted by Ian Smithers and then, a few years later, by British Lion music. Both had plans to make it the new Rainbow (its capacity was then 2,500). Demands by the GLC for repairs and improvements contributed to the building’s demise. It remained closed until 1980, when for a few months it was housed the Primatarium - an audiovisual ecology exhibition. Between 1981 and 1993 it returned to being a cinema showing art-house films (though with the stalls area becoming a snooker hall, it was now much smaller). For the first time it was called the Scala. The cinema of this name had been displaced from its previous home in Fitzrovia to make way for Channel 4 offices and had moved to Kings Cross. After the Scala went into liquidation there was another interregnum, before a club promoter Sean McLusky and a Scala director launched the Scala in its current form as a live music and disco venue in March 1999. The former cinema was converted to allow viewing of the stage from multiple levels.
At this venue performers I’ve seen include a Nickel Creek (2003), Bellowhead (2005), the Dirty Dozen Brass Band (2007), and the Hot 8 Brass Band (2009).

I have no idea why this newspaper was here, but it struck me as odd, so I snapped a pic of it.
Perhaps, when the door was boarded up, they had newspaper pushed around it to try to keep bugs/weather out?
I recently removed all the cables and untangled the mess on, under and around my desk. I then set up the second monitor, and tied everything down with copious amounts of cableties.
Currently annoying the neighbours with these. Three guitars missing from this line-up. Will have to get them all out for a party soon...

Caernarfon Crown Court and Gwynedd County Council Offices from the Eagle Tower at Caernarfon Castle.
Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon), often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle, is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.
While the castle was under construction, town walls were built around Caernarfon. The work cost between £20,000 and £25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330. Despite Caernarfon Castle's external appearance of being mostly complete, the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Despite its dilapidated condition, during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists, and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces. This was the last time the castle was used in war. Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs. In 1911, Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and again in 1969. It is part of the World Heritage Site "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd".

Grade I Listed Building
County Court (former County Hall)
History
Erected in 1863 as Caernarvonshire Shire Hall by John Thomas, County Surveyor. The figure of blind Justice was carved by Robert Evans of Menai Bridge. The shire hall has stood on or near the present site since before 1294. It now houses both the Crown and Magistrates Courts.
Exterior
Neo-classical style, with a symmetrical front of 7 bays (grouped 2:3:2) and 2 storeys, with a deep eaves cornice and projecting double Tuscan pilasters to the angles. Constructed of snecked rock-faced sandstone with Penmon stone dressings, and slate roof behind coped parapets incorporating a central skylight. The front elevation is dominated by the full-height 3-bay portico, reached up stone steps. The portico has 4 Roman Doric columns, an architrave which is continued across the entire elevation, and a frieze with inscription reading 'Victoria Reg County Hall AD MDCCCLXIII'. A pediment is on a cornice with mutules that is continued as the eaves cornice and the apex is crowned by a large figure of Justice. Doorways are in the bays R and L of centre. They have fluted consoles supporting moulded architraves, and double panelled doors. Windows have moulded architraves, with corbelled sills in the upper storey and with keystones to the central 3 bays. The windows are 12-pane hornless sashes (replaced horned sash upper R). To the L of the portico, where the ground level slopes downwards, are 2 sash windows lighting the basement. The angle pilasters each have a small vent strip between, and with a horned sash to the basement in the L-hand replacing an original door.
The symmetrical 3-bay R side wall facing Shirehall Street has angle pilasters and entablature similar to the front. The central doorway with double panelled doors and a surround with consoles to moulded cornice, with keystone. Windows are 12-pane hornless sashes in moulded architraves, and keystone upper centre. The rear has roughcast wall and 12-pane sash windows over a rear wing which has an entrance projection facing Shirehall Street dated 1989.
Interior
The full-height council chamber (now the Crown Court) occupies the 3 R-hand bays. It has a coved ceiling and a central domed lantern, and is panelled with profuse relief ornamanetation. An apsidal recess has a keyed elliptical arch on Tuscan pilasters, spandrels with roundels and relief ornament, and a scalloped plaster vault. Windows have panelled reveals and beneath the sills of the upper tier of windows is a rich foliage frieze with roundels, while betweeen the windows are plaster fielded panels. At the back of the council chamber is a raked gallery with panelled front and brass hand rail.
Reasons for Listing
Listed grade I as an exceptional work of C19 civic architecture, forming the principal component of a group of public buildings including the police station and former jail, and for its contribution to the setting of Caernarfon Castle.
The Well Tower is to the right.
I have been searching forever for School's Out Daniella and Katie. If anyone can find them for under 12 dollars, please let me know. I have seen them only on Ebay but only for 20-30 each. Way too much, I think. 17" singing Rapunzel always seems to be sold out at the Disney Stores and online. Ariel is just on "buying next" list.
Currently serving his fourth term in the United States Congress, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is a tireless advocate for social and economic justice. Since his arrival in Congress, he has been at the forefront of a wide range of important issues, such as combating voter suppression, developing meaningful police reform, and expanding economic opportunity for all Americans. In 2018, he worked with top Republicans on Capitol Hill and the White House as the lead Democratic sponsor of the First Step Act—the most far-reaching criminal justice reform passed in a decade.
On February 6, as part of the Brookings Institution’s celebration of Black History Month, Rep. Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, joined David M. Rubenstein Fellow Rashawn Ray for a fireside chat to discuss how lawmakers can address historic inequities in public policy and help combat racism in America.
Questions from the audience followed their conversation.

Powers series wired streetlights. The photocell (lower left) controls 120v to an oil switch inside the can with the 6.6 amp regulator to operate the lights. This has a 12kV primary.
This is a light green plaster pentacle.
Plaster casting: To make these, I first carve a clay pentacle to use as a base. After its baked, the clay pentacle is pressed into wet clay to make a imprint. I then pour plaster into the imprint and let it solidify. After a day or so, I flip the whole thing over and carefully remove the clay. The plaster is then painted, and in some cases, sealed.
