A visit to The Laskett Gardens. Was a listening device to hear the thoughts of the original gardener who lived here, Sir Roy Strong. And created with his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman.

  

The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and Julia Trevelyan Oman. The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch.

 

In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial). Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.

  

Howdah Court

 

Named after the viewing gallery which straddles a mound of turf and from which views can be had both of the countryside beyond and of the garden below with its knot garden of yew & dwarf euonymous flanked by symmetrical planting of malus floribunda and two fountains.

  

House

 

The house was built about 1835 and purchased by Sir Roy and his late wife in 1973.

 

Over the decades it has been considerably enlarged and, from 2003 on, embellished with pilasters and plaques to provide character to an otherwise anonymous building.

  

Entrance gatepost statues with the initials RS (Roy Strong) and JTO (Julia Trevelyan Oman).

Gatepost. The only really sound structure I found.

Decorative brick gateposts to a house. The capstones are impressed with the house name, and the posts are made up of squint bricks.

There are quite a few of these old gate posts dotted around the island. I understand the vast majority were cut from the cliffs in the south of the island where there are areas of sedimentary rock that is in defined layers. Then shipped to where they were needed. The rock is Manx slate and it was also used for lintels and hearth stones in the thatched cottages.

Where I live "Reen" is the traditional word for a Drainage channel. What I didn't realise, looking at Google, is that this appears to be a very localised term, concentrated around the Caldicot, Usk and Wentloog Levels.

Anyone know anything more about the history of this word?

BTW - when will Flickr stop messing with the interface?

 

I just noticed they've added buttons for Facebook, Tweeter, etc which is OK but what they've done to the search option is crazy.

Ebbw Vale Steel Iron & Coal Company.

The Belmont Building (1912) is significant as a gatepost to Victoria's commercial core. The commercial facade of this prominent landmark sets the scene for the Inner Harbour entrance to Government Street.

 

This office building is notable as an example of technologically advanced construction; it was the first large-scale building in Victoria to comply with new stringent fire codes through the use of reinforced concrete. Architects Horton and Phillips, influenced by the Chicago School of architecture, utilized internal frame construction combined with restrained Edwardian details such as terra cotta cladding, a corner articulation, and walls of slightly recessed windows to accentuate the building's height. The defined verticality of this retail and office structure contributes significantly to the backdrop of historic structures at the northeast corner of the Inner Harbour Precinct.

 

Locked gate - Skirrid Mountain

This is a fabulous old gatepost toat stand at the top of the Carriage Drive at Newark Park in Gloucestershire. The current gate is new, but the post speaks of older, grander gates of times gone by.

 

spent flowerstalks of Sempervivum in winter, the plants thrieving for many years on the gateposts already. The patch is gaining slowly but steadily in size.

Interesting gate post, New Brighton.

There was no one about. It's much nicer out here when it's not pouring rain.

Gatepost socket. This is for a "clapping" post, as it is the smaller size. The "hinge" post would be about 3 inches wider. The little socket at the base is where the adjacent strainer post would have fitted. Note how the "fin" on this side has been deliberately omitted to allow the strainer post to be placed close to the gatepost. The nearest fin on the right has been broken off.

Omega thou art last,

As Alpha is in the East,

And thou'lt be last for evermore,

Till endless ages cease.

And when I am dead and gone,

The verses will remain

To show who wrote thereon,

By working of the brain.

Gatepost in Eberstadt, Darmstadt.

On entrance gateposts in south-east corner, opposite the Art Gallery of NSW. This gateway was built in 1873, embellished by these fine floral carvings in the sandstone. The gilt lettering has recently been renovated.

A lion guards one of the entrances to Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire. He and his companion on the other gatepost now guard a private entrance to the estate.
