1400-06 Main Street

List Building c 1867, c. 1879

Series of three, three-story two-part commercial block buildings with Italianate detailing.

This beautiful Grade II-listed building is on the quayside at Boscastle in North Cornwall. According to British Listed Buildings the cottage dates from around the mid-1800s, possibly with earlier origins.

Boscastle harbour is a natural inlet protected by two stone harbour walls built in 1584 and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles along the north Cornish coast. Once a small port importing limestone and coal, and exporting slate and other local produce, these days it is simply home to a handful of small inshore fishing boats and a couple of small pleasure craft.

Our guided walk started in Lister Lane cemetery- and what a stunning place, such an abundance of wild flowers. The Cemetery has been recognised as a Significant Cemetery in Europe, one of only 13 in the UK, putting it alongside such famous cemeteries as Highgate in London! www.visitcalderdale.com/see-and-do/lister-lane-cemetery/

One of the few fine days in the summer of 2021

Grade 2 listed building - Late C15 timber-framed house refronted on the north side with new timbers and plaster and on the east side with red brick on the ground floor and tiles

above. 2 storeys. 5 windows. It contains ceiling beams and open fireplaces. The south wing was extended in the C17.

The Lister Arms

We stayed in Malham back in September 2024.

We had our evening meal here at The Lister Arms, it was just a short walk from our B&B.

On our way to the pub some other guests at our B&B told us that they needed to go back to the B&B for their jackets as there was a nip in the air. We did likewise, and boy did we need them!

We ate outside at the rear of the pub.

There were half a dozen college / university students with laptops doing their work together; seemed like a team assignment. Anyway they stayed on task all the time we were there. Not sure I would have… in a pub!

It was a dog friendly pub, but we decided to stay outdoors… after all we were in beautiful Yarkshur!

The food was good, and the service was good too… even though the waitress told us that she’s a Blackburn Rovers fan (our local rivals 😎).

Malham

North Yorkshire

The Grade I Listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee, in Wrexham County Borough, Wales.

The 18-arched stone and cast-iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is 12 ft wide and is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world. A footpath runs alongside the watercourse on one side.

The aqueduct was to have been a key part of the central section of the proposed Ellesmere Canal, an industrial waterway that would have created a commercial link between the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey.

Although a less expensive construction course was surveyed further to the east, the westerly high-ground route across the Vale of Llangollen was preferred because it would have taken the canal through the mineral-rich coalfields of North East Wales.

Only parts of the canal route were completed because the expected revenues required to complete the entire project were never generated. Most major work ceased after the completion of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in 1805.

Yesterday, I wrote a shopping list and then I went for shopping with a beloved friend! It was raining, but rain couldn't stop us! I bought some home decorations and things I need for my hobby, the painting! It's been a long time since I bought something for my self! Shopping with friends! Duble joy! :-)

This was the first shot I took when joining Muddy Boots and Pete Rowbottam for an evening trip to Lytham to capture this wreck of "Celestial Dawn", before it is eventually dragged off to Liverpool for a refit and makeover!

Whilst the light here isn't as spectacular as the sunset a little later, the yacht itself actually looks more forelorn as it is listing sideways more as the tide was lower when we first got there. I also liked a little more of the foreground mud leading to the boat itself. Sorry for posting one more of this, but I liked it!

The white List West lighthouse is located on the Ellenbogen peninsula on Sylt. It was built by the Kingdom of Denmark and is not only the northernmost lighthouse, but also the northernmost building in Germany. It is also the oldest lighthouse on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein and the first lighthouse in Germany made of cast iron.

Leuchtturm List West

Der weiße Leuchtturm List West liegt auf der Sylter Halbinsel Ellenbogen. Er wurde vom Königreich Dänemark erbaut und ist nicht nur der nördlichste Leuchtturm, sondern auch das nördlichste Gebäude Deutschlands. Außerdem ist er der älteste Leuchtturm an der Westküste Schleswig-Holsteins und der erste aus Gusseisen hergestellte Leuchtturm in Deutschland.

Patagonia has been on this photographer's 'bucket list' for many a year. Last month I spent two incredible weeks addressing this shortcoming.

The first image I want to share from the trip is of this small waterfall near Laguna Capri in Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park. We started hiking at 4am but this view was worth every step.

The dynamic range was wicked, so this is a blended image of 6 shots each taken with a one stop exposure difference.

Even without a dramatic colorful sunrise, the fall leaves and incredible view of Mt. Fitz Roy left me awed.

More to come!

When one thinks of legendary racing cars of the late 1950s, words like sleek, sexy, and dramatic come to mind. Cambridge manufacturer Brian Lister’s offering was all of the above, but it found its groove in rather unique contours that nonetheless gave it the popular nickname “Knobbly”.

Designed by Brian Lister to meet windshield height regulations set by the FIA, while also minimizing the frontal area of a car powered by a rather large three-liter Jaguar engine, its aluminum body featured a large central bump covering the engine, which fell off in wide grooves on either side and aft, and incredibly curvaceous streamlined fenders and headrest. The result was an athletic-appearing, distinctive racing car that took the sporting world by storm when it made its debut in February 1958.

National Trust Properties

Cragside, Rothbury, Northumberland

Cragside was the dream of the Victorian entrepreneur, William Armstrong. Originally trained as a solicitor, was a keen amateur scientist who then conducted experiments in electricity and hydraulics. In 1847 he left the law to set up his own company W. G. Armstrong & Co. just outside Newcastle. During the 1850’s he made his fortune supplying arms to the British Army. He was knighted in 1859.

The original house was a small shooting lodge which was built between 1862-64. In 1869 Armstrong employed the services of architect Richard Norman Shaw to enlarge Cragside, firstly in 1869 and again in 1882. Between these years the house blossomed, not only with the breath-taking architecture but the house was filled with wonderful works of art. Both of the Armstrong’s were great patrons to the Arts.

However after Armstrong’s death in 1900, Cragside ran into difficulty and in 1910 the best of the art was sold off. Eventually with heavy death duties in the 1970’s the family sold up and the National Trust in 1977. Cragside is a Grade I listed building and was opened to the public in 1979.

There is much to see both inside the house and the garden to enjoy, it is well worth a visit.

Live for the simple things

Live for the things that make you happy

Endure with grace the moments that don't

Seek out your peace

Let go of things and people that disturb it

And fill your days with sunrises and sunsets

and following after beauty,

the wild in you,

and the deepest truth.

Also forgot to include that i am getting Red Nike Freeks new, size 8.5

Almost... there...

I just have to redo the Eagle and the Falcon, and figure out some way to include a pic of the new Raven.

Then... I can get started on the other factions. The blued out ones are two Vic Viper-types I'm saving for Novvember.

The fighters are in historical order as they entered service, from left to right, top to bottom.

The Grade II* listed St Swithuns Church, Cannon Square, Retford, Nottinghamshire.

The church dates from the 13th century. The tower was rebuilt in 1658, and the pinnacles added in 1810. G.G. Place undertook further restorations between 1852 and 1855. The Chantry Chapel was rebuilt by George Frederick Bodley in 1873. There was a further restoration in 1905.

Retford gained its first charter in 1246, when Henry III granted the right for a fair, this was later extended to holding a Saturday Market by Edward I in 1275. It was reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, and then remained a municipal borough until 1974 when it was merged into Bassetlaw district. Its civic traditions are maintained by Charter Trustees.

The origins of its name are unknown and have been subject to much debate, but consensus seems to conclude that it gets its name from an ancient ford crossing the River Idle. It was originally named Redforde because the river water was tinged red due to the red clay river bed and frequent crossing of people and livestock disturbing the clay river bed. The first land settled was on the western side of the ford, this area being less liable to flooding. This was known as West Retforth.

However, as the community grew it spread to occupy land on the other bank of the river, and it was this eastern part of the town that eventually became more important; hence Retford's alternative (and, for administrative purposes, still official) name of East Retford. The highly unusual coat of arms for the town consists of two rampant choughs.

Retford was largely destroyed by a fire in 1528, but prospered after the Great North Road was diverted to run through the town in 1766 and the Chesterfield Canal and the direct London to York railway were both routed via the borough. The Great North Road was diverted around the town in 1961 and part of the route through the town is now a pedestrian precinct.

Filling the tank of an ancient 'Lister' stationary engine, on display at the Westport street fair.... One can make the analogy that old engines like this are like the old men who maintain them... they're no longer at the forefront of technology; they're somewhat finicky, weigh too much, leak unexpectedly, and create noxious fumes. Still, they refuse to quit running if given a bit of attention and/or a swift kick. Replacement parts are hard to come by at best, and thoughts of a catastrophic failure loom every time one pushes the machine too hard. Still, it's best to be of some use, rather than rusting away and collecting dust...
