The origional building is mentioned as far back as 1280, it was then known as Upper Shibden Hall,(the name now used by the derelict mansion at Catherine Slack). The building was rebuilt or encased in stone in 1626 and the letters JSF, and that year were about the fireplace. There is a large fireplace in the right hand half, but no inscription survives, if it is the same fireplace of course. Sir Thomas Browne is supposed to have resided here, and wrote his book 'Religio Medici' while doing so. In the 1890's it was said that the building was pulled down and replaced with two new cottages. However, it is my opinion that a new front was put onto the building (though perhaps parts were demolished).
This is a similar shot to one taken by Tim Green aka Atoach, use the tag 'Lower Shibden Hall', it won't take much finding because only six photos come up!
Below the main platform for Bay Station is an abandoned platform, which was used for only six months in 1966 when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines. The platform was in service from February to September 1966 as part of an ‘interlining’ experiment, in which the TTC ran trains along three routes, with one matching the subsequent Bloor-Danforth line, and the other two combining parts of the Bloor-Danforth line with the Yonge-University line. The experiment was deemed a failure, largely because delays anywhere quickly cascaded to affect the entire system.
Interlining was discontinued because of the confusion and delays, although it has been argued that it was politically motivated and that the experiment was sabotaged by the TTC, perhaps even designed to fail from the start. While St. George and Bloor-Yonge Stations remained operating upper and lower platforms for the two crossing subway lines, Bay Station would be served by only the Bloor-Danforth line. Lower Bay was closed to the public.
Lower Bay is now used to train new operators, to move trains between the two current lines, for platform-surface experiments, and to allow filming in the subway without disrupting public service. The station has been modified several times to make it look like a "common" North American subway station, and the TTC once had an elaborate pre-built set for converting it to a New York subway station. The set was used for the filming of the movie Don't Say a Word. Other notable movies shot at Lower Bay include Johnny Mnemonic, Bulletproof Monk and Mimic.
The station itself is not open to public access. Since its closure, entrance to the station has been bricked off, and the only access is through a pair of fire doors on Upper Bay's platform. The platform is considered a "Holy Grail" for Urban Exploration; however, the TTC has since installed security cameras on the platform.
The TTC opened Lower Bay to the public for Doors Open Toronto on May 26, 2007. According to TTC Chair Adam Giambrone's introduction leaflet, this event was the first time since 1966 that the station's platform was open to the public. There were large line-ups, as a limited number of people were allowed on the platform at any one time. Two trains were parked on the tracks, a video screen displayed movies or commercials shot in Bay Lower, and movie posters were hung around the platform. The station was opened again for the event on May 24, 2008, September 29, 2010, and will be open to the public as part of a Nuit Blanche on October 2, 2010.
Five years after Katrina hit, the Lower Ninth Ward is still desecrated. Less than 25% of the community have returned. Kevin documented some of this area, and you can see more images here

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.
