The Grade II Listed St Mary Magdalene Church at the junction of Bailgate and Exchequergate, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The original Saxon parish church lies buried beneath Lincoln's Cathedral and was recorded in the Doomsday Book. The dispossessed parishioners had the right to hold services in the Cathedral, traditionally in the Morning Chapel which is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene.
The present-day congregation continues to exercise this ancient right on the Patronal Festival Day when the choir and congregation process from the church to the Great West Doors of the Cathedral. These open, allowing the parishioners free passage to hold Festival Evensong in the Morning Chapel. Nowadays, however, the congregation at this service numbers too many to fit into the Morning Chapel, and so the service is held in the main cathedral choir, and a visitation to the Morning Chapel is made in procession before returning back to the new church.
The present church stands on the site granted to the parishioners by Bishop Sutton. It contains fragments of the original medieval building, including one of Lincolnshire’s oldest bells, inscribed ‘Sacra Maria Magdalene ora pro nobis’ (Holy Mary Magdalene pray for us). This bell is still rung before services, calling people to prayer as it did over six-hundred years ago.
Medieval St Mary’s formed the north side of the Chequer, a 14th-century shopping centre belonging to the Dean and Chapter. There were shop units in archways at each end of the square (one of which, Exchequergate Arch, remains), and also in the buildings on either side, including commercial premises beneath the church!
It was rebuilt after being damaged by the Parliamentary forces during the english Civil War. This rebuild can be seen on paintings in the Usher Art Gallery. The church was twice renovated and embellished by the Victorians, and the 1882 restoration by G F Bodley survives virtually intact, including a chancel screen and organ case. Modern St Mary’s is home to a lively, all-age church family. Regular Sunday worship and daily prayers sustain a ministry of Christian witness, welcome and outreach to the many people who pass by, or through, its doors each day.

Plot[edit]
In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War
II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping
to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes
bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a
factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler
enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts
with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps
Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains
friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr
Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish
workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people
as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves
them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.
SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to
oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is
completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and
killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the
massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl
in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white
film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a
wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl
is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,
through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth
brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony
of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their
lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to
trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing
him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect
them.
As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the
remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks
Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he
plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but
charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a
list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from
transport to Auschwitz.
As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train
carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler
bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their
release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the
production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep
his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials
and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not
produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.
Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in
Europe.
As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the
advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to
kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families
as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to
head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give
Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,
together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves
one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply
ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden
(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that
they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby
town.
After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of
Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot
of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied
by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the
grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.

(Formerly listed as:
CHURCH STREET
BROMYARD
DUMBLETON HALL)
GV II
An attached town house, dating from the C17 and much altered later.
MATERIALS: the house is constructed from stone, squared and brought to course, under slate roofs with brick stacks.
PLAN: it is L-shaped on plan, with the main range to the road running north-south, and a further wing running east-west from the northern end.
EXTERIOR: the house is of two storeys and cellar, and has a symmetrical, three-bay front to Church Street. The windows are two-light, multi-paned timber casements, set in segmental-headed openings flanking the central doorway, with another similar example to the central bay of the first floor. The windows have stone cills. The wide central doorway, housing narrow double doors, is set under a dentil hood. Above it an inscribed panel reading DUMBLETON / HALL is set into the wall. The shallow-pitched roof is hipped to the north, and has stacks to either end, that to the south having two C19 decorative chimney pots.
INTERIOR: a room to the rear of the first floor contains an Adam-style fireplace. The cellar houses two cells with barred roofs and an original window with chamfered jambs, square heads and iron bars, dating from the building's use as a court house.
HISTORY: Bromyard is a small market town that was first recorded in circa 840. No. 26 Church Street (formerly known as Dumbleton Hall) is situated on one of the principal thoroughfares in the town, adjoining the church with the market square. It continues south into Sherford Street, and together they were known as Verterus Vicus in the late C13 and recorded as Shurford Streate in 1575. This central area of the town to the south of the church and around the market place appears to have been fully built up by the early C17, though some of the plots have been re-developed since that time. No. 26 Church Street is described in the statutory list as dating from the C17; it has undergone significant alterations, principally in the C18 and C19. The building was used in the C19 as council chambers, a police station and a magistrates' court, in connection with which use two cells were created in the cellars.

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: 26 Church Street is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* Architectural interest: the building is a handsome town-house, originating in the C17 with alterations in the C18 and later
* Historic interest: it served as the town's magistrates' court and council chambers, and retains cells built in the cellars
* Group value: with the numerous other listed buildings in Church Street

"55 Broadway is a Grade I listed building overlooking St. James's Park in London. It was designed by Charles Holden and built between 1927 and 1929; in 1931 the building earned him the RIBA London Architecture Medal.
"It was constructed as a new headquarters for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), the main forerunner of London Underground. Upon completion, it was the tallest office block in the city.
"Faced with Portland stone and covering a site with an irregular footprint, the upper office floors of the building are on a cruciform plan, stepping back towards the central clock tower at the top. The cruciform design afforded the optimum level of natural light to the offices. The ground floor now contains a shopping arcade and many art deco details. Previously the ground floor was also given over to London Transport offices, including a travel information centre, cash office and a library. The whole building straddles St. James's Park tube station, the east and west wings being immediately above the railway tunnel. When finished it was the tallest steel-framed office building in London, until another Holden building, the University of London's Senate House (based on similar designs and materials), took the accolade.
"On each elevation, the pediment above the sixth floor is decorated with a relief, collectively known as 'the four winds', although the four points of the compass are repeated twice for a total of eight reliefs. Each relief was carved by an avant-garde sculptor of the day.
"Halfway along the north and east facades are a matched pair of sculptures, Day and Night by Jacob Epstein. The modernism and graphic nakedness of these sculptures created public outrage on their unveiling. Newspapers started a campaign to have the statues removed and one company director, Lord Colwyn, offered to pay the cost. Frank Pick, the managing director of the UERL at the time, took overall responsibility and offered his resignation over the scandal. In the end, Epstein agreed to remove 1.5 inches from the penis of the smaller figure on Day and ultimately the furore died down."

Please don't feel the need for invites, I'm just keeping this site reasonably up to date, by uploading sporadically, in the hope that Flickr will solve some of it's usability issues. I've always wanted to shoot a humming bird, photographically speaking of course, but until now have been spectacularly unsuccessful. However, we saw a few at the park today, so I jumped in the car, went home and grabbed my telephoto lens, and finally got a couple of half decent shots of these beautiful, elusive and fragile creatures.
Another view of Saint Michaels Catholic Church. Built on the site of New Meeting House.
Beside the Moor Street Queensway is the site of New Meeting House, where Joseph Priestley was minister of the congregation from 1780 to 1791.
On the site is now Saint Michaels Catholic Church.
Joseph Priestley was also a scholar, scientist, theologian and discover of oxygen.
Priestley and his family were forced to leave Birmingham in 1791, after the Birmingham Riots of 1791 (or the Priestley Riots), which took place after what was supposed to be the second anniversary celebrations of the French Revolution on July the 14th 1791 (the storming of the Bastille). New Meeting Chapel was burnt to the ground and destroyed on the same day as the riots started (still July 14th).
The Church of St Michael is a Grade II listed building dating back to around 1800. It was formerly listed as The Roman Catholic Church of St Michael.

This is a Scamp, a 7¼" gauge petrol electric loco finished to look similar to a Lister Auto Truck.
A petrol engine drives an 800W motor acting as a dynamo which feeds an identical motor to power both axles. With an engine throttle and an electronic speed controller it is huge fun to drive, very controllable and quite nippy.
Seen here in a friend's garden being driven by another friend, the editor of a well known UK narrow gauge railway magazine.

Ancora nelle liste della Coalizione Nazionale c'è Tsega Kiflie. Viene dall'Etiopia.
Il suo volantino non ha probabilmente gli standard dei suoi colleghi: la carta mi sembra quella delle normali fotocopie e la grafica si avvicina a quella di un documento di testo. A differenza di tutti gli altri, tuttavia, i contenuti sono sia in finlandese, sia in inglese.
Mi sono sorpreso di vedere un etiope come candidato, ma Tsega mi ha spiegato che in Finlandia gli stranieri residenti da almeno 2 anni hanno il diritto di elettorato attivo e passivo alle elezioni comunali.
Again in the lists of the National Coalition is Tsega Kiflie. He comes from Ethiopia.
Its flyer probably does not have the same standards of his colleagues: the paper seems to me that of the normal copy and graphics is similar to that of a text document. Unlike all the others, however, the contents are in both Finnish and English.
I am surprised to see an Ethiopian candidate, but Tsega told me that foreigners living in Finland for at least two years have the right to vote and stand in municipal elections.

I always liked this building, which dates from the 1700s. It's the old Gleadall's Mill (warehouse) on Bridge Street, Gainsborough Lincolnshire. This building was working in the grain trade - loading sacks of grain coming in by road at the front of the building (seen here), and later dispatching them direct into river barges at the back - right up to the mid-1970s. After that it was for many years a car repair workshop (I had lots of my cars repaired there, and even stored a couple in the building during the 90s). Nowadays its a pleasant riverside cafe, with a flat above.
It's a bit wierd sitting in a swish coffe-bar where 10 or so years ago I watched an oil-stained artisan working on my car! My own Tatra 603 car spent it's first night in the UK in this building in 1999. See a picture of this same building taken in the 1960s on this page of the English Heritage website.
The building is Grade II listed.
