Ballycorus Lead Mines Chimney, Carrickgollogan Hill, Dublin, Ireland.
Ballycorus (Irish: Baile Mhic Fheorais, meaning "Town of the Pearse Family") leadmines is a former lead mining and smelting centre located in the townland of the same name, near Kilternan in County Dublin, Ireland. The mine opened around 1807 and was taken over by the Mining Company of Ireland (MCI) in 1826 who owned and operated the site up until closure in 1913. After the mine was exhausted in the 1860s, Ballycorus continued to operate as a smelting facility receiving ore from other MCI sites such as the mines in Glendalough, County Wicklow.[Wikipedia]
There are very impressive views over Dublin.
This was my first trip to the Lead Miners in a few years. Being enthusiastic I parked my Car on Lehaunstown Lane near the Luas stop. I then walked to the Lead Mines by road and forest path, which took around an hour each way.
Lincoln Cathedral has a strong claim to being England's finest medieval building, being one of the most ambitious and beautifully designed and adorned cathedrals in Europe, a real masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
Sited dramatically on a hilltop overlooking the city below, it's three tapering towers are a landmark visible from miles away over the otherwise flat Lincolnshire countryside. Originally however the effect was even more magnificent, as the towers were formerly crowned by lead-covered wooden spires, the tallest of which gave the cathedral the title of the World's tallest building for some two and a half centuries until the spire was blown down by a gale in 1549. The smaller spires on the west towers survived until they too were dismantled in c1810.
The earliest part is the core of the west front and the lower part of the west towers, part of the original Romanesque cathedral begun in 1088 by Bishop Remigius and ornamented with a fine carved frieze, of which significant sections remain (some recently replaced by copies, others still currently boxed in for protection from the elements). The remainder of this building suffered damage in an earthquake in 1185 and was replaced by the present cathedral in the following century.
The first phase of reconstruction between 1192 & 1210 was directed by Bishop Hugh of Avalon, later known as St Hugh of Lincoln, whose shrine was later venerated in the completed building. The bulk of the building is 13th century Early English Gothic, with lancet windows, coloured marbles and stunning rose windows in the main transepts (like several of England's larger cathedral's Lincoln was given a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir).
The final part was the extension east of St Hugh's choir which is one of the richest, most celebrated expressions of English Gothic dating from the early 14th century, known as the Angel choir after the carvings that decorate it's higher parts (other sculptural details here include the famous Lincoln Imp). The cathedral's main tower was also raised at this time, followed by the heightening of the western towers, adding great height to the main facades extraordinary width. The former spires must have finished the effect in spectacular fashion.
The cathedral contains some superb stained glass, including a substantial amount of it's original 13th century glazing in the choir aisle east windows and the main transepts, particularly the two rose windows (the Dean's Eye to the north, with much of it's original Last Judgement narrative, and the later Bishop's Eye to the south, mostly composed of fragments in set in gorgeous tracery). Most however is Victorian, but very effective nonetheless, with a particularly rich sequence in the nave aisles. There are also some more contemporary pieces in certain chapels.
The cathedral also boasts some of the finest medieval woodwork in the country in it's superb choir stalls, extensively carved with canopies with misericords (though sadly the latter are rarely on show). There are surprisingly few major monuments for so grand a cathedral, compared to so many others; the best known being the heart tomb of Queen Eleanor (a Victorian reconstruction after the original was destroyed by Cromwell's mob).
Though the cathedral never served as a monastic foundation, it was nonetheless provided with cloisters and an impressive chapter house at the north east corner. The cloisters are relatively small and lost their northern side in the 17th century, afterwards replaced by a lighter arcade with a new cathedral library above it designed by Sir Christopher Wren.in 1674. One of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta was held here for centuries, though more recently it was put on display at the nearby Lincoln Castle.

after the visit i could actually TASTE lead (plumbum) in my mouth. Needless to say that workers out there have more of
this heavy metal in their bodies.
this is a skylight in the roof of the McNally houseboat, a large floating residence now in the collection of the Antique Boat Museum on the St Lawrence River in Clayton, New York; intricate workmanship and an unusual form make this a unique example of the glazier's art
A well preserved clamp, probably with an iron core, sheathed with lead in order to fill the slot carved between these two blocks and to protect the stone from the metal core. The crack on the left seems to have been caused by settling of the monument, which shifted the blocks apart and caused the clamp to tug on the block on the left. The lead sheathing has been driven into the space with a rectangular-tipped chisel. Chetinyova mogila, near Starosel. 4th century BCE.
The lead photographer for the posing couple. She has the same 85mm f/1.2 lens I was using, but her camera's shutter was much quieter, a barely audible flickering sound.

Whitinsville Christian rolls past SLA.DIVISION 3 BOYS' BASKETBALL: WHITINSVILLE CHRISTIAN 65, SOUTH LANCASTER 28..By Tom Flanagan CORRESPONDENT..NORTHBRIDGE — South Lancaster Academy's postseason got off to a fast start Monday night when it defeated 2010 Central Mass. Division 3 finalist Maynard. ..When SLA met up last night with the defending Division 3 champion, however, its season came to a sudden stop. ..Fourteen players scored as second-seeded Whitinsville Christian overwhelmed visiting SLA, 65-28, in a first-round game. ..Whitinsville Christian (19-2) will host Douglas in a quarterfinal at 7 p.m. tomorrow. ..“We knew we wanted to come out and get off to a fast start,” said Whitinsville Christian coach Jeff Bajema, whose starters remained on the bench after storming to a 25-2 lead at the end of the first quarter. “(SLA) was coming off a nice win over Maynard, and we went and saw that game. They hit about 14 or 15 3-pointers, so we wanted to focus on taking that away.” ..This one was never in doubt and Whitinsville Christian asserted its dominance in a hurry, with its big stars making an impact. ..Sophomore point guard Colin Richey was in on Whitinsville's first nine points, scoring on a drive to the hoop and a 3-pointer before making a pair of pinpoint over-the-top passes that led to easy buckets for 6-foot-9 senior center Hans Miersma. ..Senior shooting guard Taylor Bajema then got into the act, tallying his eight points on a series of slashing baseline moves. ..“We have players that do so many different things and bring different skills,” said Miersma, who had 10 points, including a pair of buckets off offensive rebounds. “We're tough to guard, and we wanted to come out and set the tone on defense, and we did a great job of that in the first quarter.” ..Whitinsville Christian pushed its lead to 33-2 early in the second quarter as reserves Jesse Dykstra and Justin Tienharra keyed the offense. ..“We talked a lot about (the University of) Kansas and what happened to them in last year's (NCAA) tournament,” Bajema said. “This is tournament time, and the teams we'll play all earned the right to be here, so we need to be ready each night.” ..Tomorrow's game will be the last at Whitinsville Christian's unique and tiny gym for the seniors, a fact not lost on Miersma. ..“I really want to come and play well in our last game here,” said Miersma, who will play for Gordon College next year. “This is such a great place, with the fans going crazy and the band playing. I know I'll really miss being here.” ..Ed Kuhna scored 10 points to lead South Lancaster.

The Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Ilkley is a remarkable blend of traditional and modern architecture, with an entrance porch and apse in Victorian Gothic and north and south nave extensions dating from the 1970s with a saw-tooth wall arrangement, inspired by Coventry cathedral.
More remarkable still is the complete glazing scheme of contemporary stained glass, all executed in the dalle de verre ('slab of glass') wherein thick chunks of coloured glass are set in a concrete or resin matrix (as opposed to traditional lead). The technique was popular in the 1960s and 70s but sharply declined since, largely due to many such windows latterly suffering from heat expansion, leakages or structural problems.
The exceptional scheme of dalle de verre windows at Ilkley includes both windows with concrete and windows with resin matrixes; The earliest windows are those in the apse which utilise concrete, being the work of Pierre Fourmaintraux of Whitefriars. The remaining windows in the nave were executed with resin and supplied by John Hardman Studios of Birmingham in the late 1970s.
These dalle de verre windows ably illustrate the richness and potential of large scale uses of the technique. Current research will hopefully find solutions to the problems encountered with the technique and may hopefully one day lead to a resurgence in the medium.
