Clavell Tower, also known as Clavell Folly or the Kimmeridge Tower, is a Grade II listed[1] Tuscan style tower built in 1830. It lies on the Jurassic Coast, on the top of Hen Cliff just east of Kimmeridge Bay in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. It is now a Landmark Trust property and in 2006-08 was moved 25 metres back from the crumbling cliff edge.
This unique and quirky building can now be hired but once was part of our local brewery, McMullens used as a seed and grain store.
Once again I used a digicam camera but this time added a monopod to aid focus. I am still amazed at the filmic look from these very small files. Photography is such fun.
Finally I wish to advise you I will not be altering the date on the camera but to celebrate it’s original conception.

The Severn Bridge is a motorway suspension bridge that spans the River Severn between Bristol in England and Monmouthshire in South East Wales.
It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales, and took three and a half years to build at a cost of £8 million at the tome, replacing the 137-year-old Aust Ferry.
The bridge was opened in 1966 by Queen Elizabeth II and for thirty years, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. It was granted Grade I listed status in 1999.
Following the completion of the Prince of Wales Bridge, the section of motorway from Olveston in England to Magor in Wales was designated the M48.

Aldford Lodge consists of a pair of cottages at the Aldford entrance to Eaton Hall, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
Ventured out for lunch at Greys Court, a National Trust property near Henley on Thames In Oxfordshire. Afterwards we wandered around the gardens and by luck there was nobody in the frame as we walked past the house. Couldn't resist this capture.
The property was mentioned in the Domesday Book compiled for William the Conqueror in 1086 although the house dates from Tudor times, Several families have lived here over the centuries but it was last family, Sir John and Lady Brunner who gifted it to the National Trust in 1968.

I had a specific hope from this sunrise shoot of the Buttercross in Brigg, North Lincolnshire, and that was to capture the sun rising at the end of the street on the left (Wrawby Street). But unfortunately there was an annoying slither of cloud on the horizon and by the time it cleared, the sun had moved too far to the right. Maybe I’ll be luckier another time.
Shot as a 5 shot panorama (each bracketed) with my Tilt Shift, and stitched in Lightroom. The highlights on the front of the building are due to spotlights above the upper windows.
The Buttercross, historically was the Brigg Town Hall, but is now used as a tourist information centre and as an events venue.

All Saints Church is located in the grounds of the National Trust property of Hinton Ampner House near Bramdean in Hampshire.
The current church dates mainly from the 13th century but incorporates some features dating back to the Norman Conquest in the 11th century. It also has 19th century alterations and inside there are many memorials to past generations and occupants of the estate.
The Church is a grade 2 listed building which gives it legal protection from major alterations or demolition without previous consent from the local authority - Winchester City Council.
This mill was constructed in 1800 and is located on the River Test at Whitchurch in Hampshire. In 1817 a new owner acquired it and changed its usage from a fulling mill for cloth to a silk mill. It subsequently changed ownership several times but remained as a silk mill until the 1980’s. It was then acquired by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust who operate it as a tourist attraction with limited silk weaving still taking place.
Sadly, the water wheel that provides power is located inside the black building and is not visible.
The mill is a grade2 listed building and therefore has legal protection from demolition or major alteration without prior approval from the Local Authority - Basingstoke and Dene District Council

Every once in awhile a photographers early morning efforts are well and truly rewarded and on this particular morning mine were in buckets. From not so promising dark blue clouds an epic sunrise suddenly began to develop and in no time at all had my running...well walking very quickly over the shingle beach at Eastbourne trying to decide which side of the pier to use...to be honest it was so good i used both mainly because this side gave off the better reflections on the wet sand

Gainsborough's Lord Street - a bit tired-looking in parts, and mostly unremarkable on it's South side remains one of my favourite bits of our old town. The Georgian North side, seen here is mostly listed (Grade 2), and at street level, well maintained. Look up, though, and many of these properties are in a sad state of repair in their upper floors.

The parish church of St James (Grade 2 listed) stands at the western end of St James street in Dunwich, Suffolk. It was originally built in the classical style in 1832 to replace All Saints which was closed in the late 1750s (and later collapsed over the eroding cliff); it was "Gothicised " in 1881. The original brick walls were clad in flint; the windows reshaped and the chancel added. The present tower replaced the cupola of the 1830 building.
The leper hospital chapel ruins can be found in the graveyard of the church.
This thatched cottage dates from circa 17th century and is located in Warwickshire. It was once the home of the overseer of the poor.
It is a grade 2 listed building which means it cannot be demolished or subject to major alteration without prior approval from the local authority – Stratford on Avon District Council.

Bournemouth Echo Building. Built in 1932, in the art deco style, by Seal and Hardy as offices for the "Bournemouth Echo". By 2017 the building was empty and began a transformation into a multi-use workspace, retaining the original design in the grade 2 listed building. A proposal for THAT Group to radically alter the building by massively extending it by adding a 30-bed hotel, café, gym and events space, were proposed in 2019 but withdrawn after objections.

The Wakefield Opera House opened in October 1894 and is the smallest of architect Frank Matcham's surviving theatres. It quickly became the Theatre Royal and Opera House, and is now known as the Theatre Royal Wakefield. In between it was converted to a cinema in 1955 and called the Essoldo, this became the Lucky 7 Bingo Club in 1966, and it was not until 1986 that live theatre returned following a restoration by Joe Parker. In 2018 the Walker Studio, a new box office, café bar, additional toilets and office space was constructed alongside the existing building. It seats around 500 on three levels with two boxes, and is a grade 2* listed building.

Soho Theatre (Granada), Walthamstow - a panoramic stitch of seven portrait mode shots, showing the whole of the auditorium. Opened on the 15 September 1930, designed by Cecil Masey with interiors by Theodore Komisarjevsky, and built on the enlarged site of the earlier Victoria Cinema. The Granada had 2,697 seats in stalls and balcony, with a strongly Moorish influence to the spectacular foyers and auditorium. It was tripled in 1974, with two mini cinemas under the balcony - the front stalls were removed and the stage lost live usage. The theatre was grade 2 listed in 1987 (upped to Grade 2* in 2000). Later known as ABC, MGM and EMD Cinemas, the venue closed in 2003 and was sold to a church, who were refused planning consent for change of use on several occasions. It was sold again, in a derelict state, in 2014 and parts of the building were reopened as a bar and live entertainment venue known as Mirth. In 2019 it was bought by Waltham Forest Borough Council and, in conjunction with the Soho Theatre, they began a restoration process. This saw the main auditorium restored as a 1,000 theatre, the rear stalls had the original plasterwork restored to become a unique bar, the rear of the circle, again with original features, is now a community / rehearsal room, the circle foyer is a stylish bar, and the foyers restored (with full disabled access adaptations) to original splendour. The architects for the scheme were Pilbrow & Partners, and the main contractor was Wilmott Dixon. Soho Walthamstow, as the theatre is now known, reopened in May 2025 and the theatre is now very comfortable and looks stunning, there is some of the best front-of-house space existing in a theatre, wiith brand-new artiste rooms and a widened stage. What it lacks is the original organs, now in storage, awaiting sufficient money (£1million+) to be restored and reinstated.
