Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
The name derives from the fact that the fields around Partinico were bought by the Jesuit fathers in the 1500s. The name parrini, in fact, in Sicilian means priests.
So it was an area managed by the religious consisting of a small country church and a convent around which, later, the village arose with lodgings for the settlers and agricultural labourers.
In 1767, then, this village became the property of the French prince Henri d'Orleans who set up a farm for the production of a wine that soon became much appreciated and sought after. After the Second World War many of the inhabitants preferred to move to the city and the village remained almost uninhabited and therefore began its inevitable decline.
Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.
The facades of the houses are colored with bright colors and writings, the walls have mosaic decorations and colorful tiles and the small village has become a very popular place for travellers.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Il nome deriva dal fatto che i campi intorno a Partinico nel 1500 furono acquistati dai padri Gesuiti. Il nome parrini, infatti, in siciliano significa proprio preti .Quindi era un’area gestita dai religiosi costituita da una piccola chiesa di campagna e un convento attorno a cui, in seguito, sorse il borgo con gli alloggi per i coloni e i braccianti agricoli.
Nel 1767, poi, questo borgo divenne proprietà del principe francese Henri d’Orleans che vi impiantò una azienda agricola per la produzione di un vino che presto divenne molto apprezzato e ricercato. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale molti degli abitanti preferirono trasferirsi in città e il borgo rimase quasi disabitato e quindi iniziò la sua inevitabile decadenza.
Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.
Le facciate delle case sono colorate con tinte vivaci e scritte, i muri recano decorazioni a mosaico e piastrelle variopinte e il piccolo borgo è diventato un luogo molto visitato dai viaggiatori.
A trullo (plural, trulli) is a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof. Their style of construction is specific to the Itria Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Apulia.
Trulli were generally constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses or as permanent dwellings by small proprietors or agricultural labourers. In the town of Alberobello, in the province of Bari, whole districts contain dense concentrations of trulli.
The golden age of trulli was the nineteenth century, especially its final decades, which were marked by the development of wine growing.
The Derwent Dams were constructed by the Derwent Valley Water Board (now Severn-Trent) to supply fresh clean water to the fast-expanding industrial populations of Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.
The first two massive masonry dams constructed were the Howden and Derwent, between 1902 and 1916. During construction a temporary village, known as Tin Town because of its corrugated iron walls and roofs, housed the 1,000 or so navvies (labourers) and their families.
During the Second World War, the two original Derwent Dams were used for practice flights by 617 Squadron – known as “the Dam Busters”. They were chosen because they closely matched the target dams in the Ruhr Valley in Germany. The Derwent Dams were later used as the backdrop to the 1955 film The Dam Busters.

Just part of the underground military hospital and munition storage built on Guernsey during the Nazi occupation in WW2, mostly using prisoners from Eastern Europe as labourers.
This is another from the barges along the A100 in Berlin. I like how the top most stem of the rope is not aligned with the rest, as if to suggest that rebels rise to the top by being so awkward to rule, which I really appreciate! There is also, so often, something so timeless about this kind of monochrome render, but when we see ropes, tools and materials done in such a way, the common image is of historical and timeless labouring, hard work and real men!
Years ago, I was once a farm labourer in North Wales (Tremorfa Farm) and I absolutely loved manual labour; more so that I am reminded I feel by today's generations that Generation X, were the last of the muck and muscle labourers of men who behaved like men and weren't offended by everything, we just got on with it!
I hope everyone is well and so as it's Friday tomorrow we've made it, so as always, thank you! :)
As there are more visitors, comments and faves, I may have missed yours, or took a longer time to reply, my sincere apologies. But thanks everyone for your support

A young under aged ( in terms of labour norms) girl working as a child laborer in a brick and mortar kiln factory spotted in a red soil laterites landscape area!
she told me "Uncle" I miss school very much, But insists she will help her father earn more in the Kiln!!
West Bengal has around 12,000 brick kilns, which employ an estimated six lakh people. According to the 2011 census, there were 550,092 child workers in West Bengal, a figure which is likely to have increased since.
The children were working in It was also found that children had no access to education and most of them suffered from malnutrition. The labourers were denied of gratuity and other service-related benefits.”

Cirencester MOP - After the Black Death pandemic decimated the workforce, hiring fairs introduced prospective employers to agricultural labourers and servants who would gather in the street and the market place, sporting a badge or tool to signify their skill.
Shepherds held a crook or a tuft of wool, cowmen brought wisps of straw, dairymaids carried a milking stool or pail and housemaids held brooms or mops, hence the name “mop fair”.Employers would move amongst the workers touting for work – discussing experience and terms, and once agreement was reached the employer would give the employee a small token of money, known as the “fasten-penny”, usually a shilling, which “fastened” the contract for a year.

The Indian Memorial at Neuve Chapelle, commemorating the 4,742 Indian soldiers and labourers who died during the First World War and has no known grave.
The monument, unveiled on 7 October 1927 was designed by Sir Herbert Barker and sculptured by Charles Wheeler and is inspired by early Indian sanctuaries that have an enclosing wall. The choice of place is no accident, either. In March 1915 Neuve Chapelle was the place where the Indian Corps had its first major battle as a single unit.
The monument now also commemorates Indians who died in the Second World War.
(And though it really shouldn't be a competition, I can also add that it is one of the most beautiful memorials I have seen.)

This building was probably the home of a landless labourer, possibly a craftsman. It was built in the mid-17th century on the edge of Washington Common. It has one heated room, and the fireplace is in a smoke bay, an early form of chimney.
Poplar Cottage was on its original site before dismantling in 1982.
Poplar Cottage cannot be precisely dated but from the style and details of its construction it was probably built in the mid 17th century, or possibly a little earlier. It occupied a small plot of land on the southern edge of the common at Washington, near Steyning.

A Labourer lay listening to a Nightingale's song throughout the summer night. So pleased was he with it that the next night he set a trap for it and captured it. "Now that I have caught thee," he cried, "thou shalt always sing to me."
"We Nightingales never sing in a cage." said the bird.
"Then I'll eat thee." said the Labourer. "I have always heard say that a nightingale on toast is dainty morsel."
"Nay, kill me not," said the Nightingale; "but let me free, and I'll tell thee three things far better worth than my poor body."
The Labourer let him loose, and he flew up to a branch of a tree and said:
"Never believe a captive's promise; that's one thing. Then again: Keep what you have. And third piece of advice is: Sorrow not over what is lost forever."
Then the song-bird flew away.
Altamont House was so named circa 1760. It had been previously known as "Rose Hill" and later "Soho". It is situated one mile off the Tullow-Bunclody Road on the River Slaney. The central portion of the house dates from the Seventeenth Century. The house was extensively altered in the Eighteenth Century. A porch with an interesting fanlight and a low dining room were built. Two avenues with granite entrance gateways were also laid out. Altamont Gardens extend over forty acres, mostly consisting of woodland. The current layout of the gardens was planned by the Dawson-Bovia family who bought the estate in the 19th Century. They also added two wings to the original house. They also made the lake with labourers employed during the famine. The Lecky-Watson family moved to Altamont in 1923. When their daughter Mrs. Corona North inherited the estate she made improvements to the garden which were opened to the public. Mrs. North died in 1999

The last building built at Wharram Percy was this farmhouse which was converted into Labourers cottages that were occuppiend up until 1976. Also the outline of the old 1800 century vicaraged. Also the footings of the old Medieval Farm House and Farm Yard.
Located at 4946 Dundas Street West is this Village of Islington mural, titled The Pub with No Beer, by John Kuna, 2009. The accompanying plaque for this mural says:

This mural depicts a scene from the prohibition era (ca. 1928) with a pop truck rounding up empty bottles outside of the old Islington Hotel, which was once a local watering hole. At the time Burnhamthorpe Road was on the west side of the hotel and the hotel's drive-shed stretched across what is now the intersection of Dundas St. West and Burnhamthorpe Road and Cordova Avenue.

Harrison House
(c. 1880) 54 Port Street
David Harrison was born in Ireland in the late 1830s. His father, David Sr., settled in Port Credit around 1840. David Jr. made his living initially as a carpenter and farm labourer, with forays as a sailor on the old stonehooking barques “Defiance” and “Swallow”. He also assisted in laying down the first corduroy road along
Lakeshore Road. This property was acquired by David Harrison in 1879 and the house stayed in the Harrison family until 1981.
In "Sleggveien" there are a number of listed buildings that were originally inhabated by craftsmen, taters ad casuel labourers. Since 1950, there have been no permanent residents in any of the houses. A few houses, used as holiday homes.

338 Sumner Avenue (1861): 1 1/2 storey stucco house with Classical Revival influences, side gable roof, 2/2 wood windows, symmetrical façade, and wood trim.
Fountains abbey was founded in 1132 by 13 Benedictine monks from St Mary’s in York. They'd grown fed up of the extravagant and rowdy way that the monks lived in York and so they escaped seeking to live a devout and simple lifestyle elsewhere. This was how they came to Fountains.
By the time three years had passed the monks had become settled into their new way of life and had been admitted to the austere Cistercian Order and with that came an important development – the introduction of the Cistercian system of lay brothers.
The lay brothers (what we would now call labourer) relieved the monks from routine jobs, giving them more time to dedicate to God rather than farming the land to get by. It was because of the help of the lay brothers that Fountains became so wealthy through wool production, lead mining, cattle rearing, horse breeding and stone quarrying.
However it wasn’t all plain sailing. Bad harvests hit the monks hard and they also had to deal with raids from the Scots throughout the 14th-century, which led to economic collapse. This was only made worse by the Black Death which struck the country in 1348.
Despite its financial problems, the Abbey remained important. The abbacy of Marmaduke Huby (1495 - 1526) marked a period of revival and the great tower built by Huby symbolises his hope for the Abbey’s future.
The Dissolution:
The Abbey was abruptly closed down in 1539 in the Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII, and the abbot, prior and monks were sent away with pensions.
Fountains Abbey today:
The estate was sold by the Crown to a merchant, Sir Richard Gresham. It remained in private hands until the 1960s, including William and John Aislabie who designed Studley Royal water garden of which the abbey became an integral part of.
The National Trust bought the estate from the West Riding County Council in 1983.
The lane a couple of miles from the ancient village of Skinnand, this view looking towards Wellingore sitting on top of the Lincolnshire Cliff.
Skinnand is a deserted medieval village in the civil parish of Navenby, in the North Kesteven district, in the county of Lincolnshire. The settlement of Skinnand dates back to the Bronze Age, and reached its peak in the Middle Ages
The ancient parish of Skinnand was recorded as the smallest village in the Deanery of Longoboby in 1332. It had the lowest tax assessment, a population of around 40 and was predominantly based on agriculture. The population of Skinnand stayed stable for many generations but, by 1563, only three of the original ten households remained. This decrease in numbers has been attributed, by some historians, to a reduction in arable farming and a rise in sheep production.
Records show that the village of Skinnand had up to six houses before the English Civil War, most built as small single-storey stone dwellings with thatched roofs. Two, however, were much larger. One was owned by a John Chester, which boasted four domestic rooms with 'upper chambers,' and the other was the parsonage. The parsonage included a hall, two parlours, a kitchen, buttery, milkhouse, brewhouse and stable. It also had three upstairs rooms, as well as an orchard, garden, yard and dovecote. It is believed the parsonage was pulled down, however, during the Civil War and, by the time of the Hearth Tax returns of 1665, there were just three houses in Skinnand.
Skinnand was a village of just 12 people in 1801, according to the Census returns. The population did rise slightly over the next 100 years, to 30 in 1901, but by 1921 numbers were once again decreasing and the figure stood at 25. Census returns also reveal that most of the village men worked on the land as unskilled labourers.] The children of these poor labourers attended school at Wellingore, just south of Navenby, and at Carlton-le-Moorland and Bassingham - each village several miles walk away.
The 1911 Census shows that the population of Skinnand was once again in decline at the turn of the 20th century, with just 28 people living in the village. Most were tenant labourers as, by 1913, William Grant of Grimsby was the principal landowner. The village was occupied for just a few more years, however, before the final families moved out. Today, just a boarded up old farm house stands where the thriving community of Skinnand once was.
