The Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and Charles Driver.
Built 1865-68
Housing eight beam engines by Rothwell & Co. of Bolton
The Abbey Mills Pumping Station (Pumping Station F) is a large industrial barn, some 57m long, 29m wide and 23m high. It is the fifth in a series of sewage pumping stations built here since 1869, and uses state-of-the-art submersible pumps which halved the installation cost. Previous Victorian stations are now listed and used for other purposes.
The superstructure consists of lightweight steel 'A' frames at 6m centres, bearing upon a square frame which carries the travelling cranes used for maintenance. It is this square structure that is at the heart of the design and becomes the key to the expression of the gable ends.
Four sewers are brought together into one large concrete culvert which forms the base of the entire building. Using 16 pumps with a capacity of two cubic metres per second, the sewage is then pumped up 13m and discharged into the upper level culvert. From there it discharges into the 1869 main outfall sewer and the treatment plant at Barking.
Four diesel generators in the middle of the building power the installation while a central gantry and two side-aisle travelling cranes allow the pumps and other machinery to be lifted for maintenance.
Externally, the roof is penetrated by four vent cowls for the machinery. Louvres along the roof ridge provide ventilation to the barn itself. The sides are also louvred.

Polychrome Elevations is an artwork by Peter Newman at the South Bank outside the BFI and Hayward Gallery. Basically he's painted all the staircases in primary colours. Reminds me very much of the computer game Mirror's Edge.

A polychrome wood statue of Joan of Arc in the cathedral in l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, in Provence. A shockingly huge and decorated church for such a small town: I think the Pope, when he was in Avignon, liked the town.
The Castle of the Knights Hospitaler of the Order of St Mary in Jerusalem (the Teutonic Order) in Malbork was built in the 13th century in Prussia and is located near the town of Malbork, Poland. It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area. It was originally built by the Teutonic Knights, a German Roman Catholic religious order of crusaders who named it Marienburg (Mary's Castle). The town which grew around it was also named Marienburg.
Heavily damaged after World War II, the castle was renovated under the auspices of modern-day Poland in the second half of the 20th century and most recently in 2016. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997

polychromed marble with bronze mounts, 1894
American
Herbert Adams (1858 - 1945)
How does this bust show the influence of the Itallian Renaissance? The neckline, hair, expression, and pose are all borrowed from Renaissance sculpture. Like the earlier Italian artists, Adams started with unblemished marble and added color tints to make this sculpture more lifelike.
A pietà is a picture or sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ on her lap or in her arms.
The word comes through Italian, from Latin pietas ‘dutifulness.’
This is one of two pietàs in this delightful chapel dedicated to Saint Pierre de Theux in the Midi-Pyrérées.

The remarkable polychrome tomb of Lady Elizabeth Montacute (d.1354) on the south side of the Latin Chapel. The monument is unusual in retaining so much of its original colouring, though sadly it appears to have lost its canopy and iconoclasts have mutilated the otherwise well preserved weepers on the tomb chest.
Officially known as Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford's diocesan church is unique in many ways and a bit of an anomaly amongst English cathedrals, being not only one of the very smallest of the older foundations but also the only cathedral anywhere to also serve as a college chapel (a strange and not entirely easy marriage of roles to the uninitiated visitor as this feels more a part of Christ Church College than the mother church of Oxfordshire Diocese).
Its history is even more varied, having originally been founded as the monastic church of St Frideswide, a community that ended its days prematurely ahead of the Dissolution when Cardinal Wolsey suppressed it in order to implement his plans to turn the site into his newly founded Christ's College. The western half of the nave was demolished as work began on the college quadrangle in its place and the truncated remainder would have followed had the founder's original vision of a new chapel been realised. In the end Henry VIII continued work on the college after Wolsey's demise and it was refounded as Christ Church, retaining St Frideswide's monastic church as the chapel. He also raised Oxford to the seat of a diocese in 1542, initially raising the newly dissolved Osney Abbey (to the west of the city) to the rank of cathedral but only two years later in 1544 that role was transferred to Christ Church and St Frideswide's / Christ Church College Chapel has served the role of Oxford's cathedral ever since. Osney was abandoned and one of the city's grandest buildings (and perhaps a more suitable cathedral in many ways) has sadly has all but vanished today.
Entering the cathedral for the first time can be a slightly bewildering experience, it is unlike any other cathedral in the country in that the exterior of the building is really quite elusive and inaccessible for the most part being surrounded by private areas of the college complex. There is no west facade, this was demolished to build the vast quadrangle through which it is now entered, thus one walks into the east side of the college quad with little sense that one is about to emerge inside a small cathedral. The other main route for visitors sends them via the former monastic cloister on the south side, and this is the only area where the public gets to see the external appearance of the cathedral in any detail, otherwise only the 13th century central tower (rising from a Norman base) with its short spire asserts itself above the masses of the college's various wings and courtyards.
Inside it is clear that this is still largely a cruciform late Norman church, the short nave and choir beyond the crossing both defined by round Romanesque arches of c1180, though here with a surprising twist, with a double row of inner and outer arches into the aisles, one superimposed over the other at different heights, a quite eccentric design. The outstanding architectural feature here however is the choir vault, a stunning early fan vault uniquely designed with lace-like ribs in stellar formation and hanging pendants, the visual climax of the interior. The east wall with its rose window was redesigned in the Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott to replace a large window (a later insertion) that had filled the entire space.
The most interesting area of the cathedral is the collection of chapels that fill the north east corner, the largest being known as the 'Latin Chapel' and containing medieval tombs including the reconstructed base of the former shrine of St Frideswide. There is much 14th century glass in this chapel too, although the very finest ancient glass here is in the chapel off the south transept where the traceries are filled with some of the most beautiful and richly coloured pieces of medieval glass that have survived.
The post medieval glass here however is equally significant and includes a delightful enamel-painted window by the Van Linge brothers, sadly the only complete window of a sequence installed in the early 17th century to have survived the turbulence of the Civil War. Better known is the sequence of Pre-Raphaelite windows designed by Sir Edward Burne Jones, most in his familiarly graceful style but the earliest (the St Frideswide Window) is quite different and full of rich glowing colour.
Exploring the cathedral doesn't take as long as most of its kind owing to the small scale of the building, but a visit isn't complete without taking in the small cloister and the impressive rectangular chapter house on the south side, a vaulted room of c1300 that has notable carvings and surviving medieval paintings in medallions on the vault.
Christ Church Cathedral is a rewarding place to visit, but it can be a little frustrating and less relaxing than most owing to the constant flow of visitors in a relatively small space. Entry to the college isn't cheap and is the only way for non-residents to visit as one cannot view the cathedral in isolation (visitors currently have to follow a pre-set route around the college dining hall before reaching the church). It does make me wonder how this building manages to function as a diocesan church, but whatever the complications it never fails to deliver with its beautiful architecture and stunning glass.

Polychrome paintings of hunting scenes.
The paintings were discovered by Juan Jiménez Llamas in 1914, and caused great interest amongst specialists in prehistoric art on account of the huge number of figures and their thematic and stylistic variety. The Minateda paintings are located in five caves. Animal-based hunting themes predominate. They are dated between 6,000 and 1,000 BC. They have the World Heritage designation as part of Mediterranean Prehistoric Rock Art.

Polychrome mummy mask of a woman with voluminous hair made of flax fibers. She wears gilded snake bracelets (not seen in this pic), and a necklace made from real beads, and a golden necklace painted on to her neck. Note the green eyebrows, a color which is also used to outline the eyes.
Although still somewhat formulaic and impersonal, the hair reflects the new styles brought by the Romans, who ruled Egypt at this time.

Polychromed Wax by Samuel Percy, 1810
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_expects_that_every_man_will...
"England expects that every man will do his duty" was a signal sent by Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson from his flagship HMS Victory as the Battle of Trafalgar was about to commence on 21 October 1805. Although there was much confusion surrounding the wording of the signal in the aftermath of the battle, the significance of the victory and Nelson's death during the battle led to the phrase becoming embedded in the English psyche, and it has been regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced up to the modern day.
Samuel Percy (1753-1819), wax portrait modeller
Although he is best known for his miniature portraits, both coloured and white, and his small white wax busts, records suggest Percy tried hard between c.1780 and 1806 to be given the opportunity to create public statues, apparently without success. Percy's less well known pieces are the wax tableaux of miniature figures, or 'conversation pieces', which he exhibited.
