Smallhythe Place, Small Hythe, nr Tenterden, Kent.
Smallhythe is a half-timbered house built possibly at the end of the 15th or at the beginning of the 16th century. If anyone had visited it in the last 200 odd years it would been difficult to believe that it was a thriving shipyard. The river Rother used to come up to the house which was then called ‘Port House’ for that very reason the sea receded many years ago. The word ‘Hythe’ in Old English means a landing place I believe that the ‘Time Team’ had a dig here and they found much evidence of the ship building trade and also the existence of old river beds.
It was the home from 1899 – 1928 of the famous Victorian Actress Ellen Terry. In the house are many show cases of her costumes and many other items from other famous actors, playwrights and theatre managers. The grounds include an orchard, a rose garden, a nuttery and a fully working Barn Theatre. The house was opened to the public in 1929 and from 1947, The National Trust have cared for the property. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1950.
A great place to visit, especially that Sissinghurst Castle is very near by.

Wow, what a lovely turn-out for the annual fall fest, despite the strong wind! Met so many lovely people, locals, and travelers. More importantly, I received great feedback from my shoppers and the bustling boutique had sales to reflect it.
I absolutely love owning my own business.

The beloved Canadian stubby
The stubby bottle was introduced to the Canadian beer drinker in 1961 and became an instant hit. The stubby, which received its famous name due to its small and fat stature, was easier to ship, stack and store as the thickness of the bottle meant less breakage, making stubbies instantly popular with breweries.
Stubbies were also popular with drinkers as its small shape helped the beer chill quickly. The stubby actually held 341ml, which is the standard for present mainstream long neck bottles. As popular as they were, stubbies did not survive the ever-changing market for a number of reasons.
One of those reasons at the time was to appease female drinkers (who for some reason where not happy holding the stubby), so big companies started incorporating American-style long neck bottles.

Newport, Rhode Island
Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of the historic Ocean Drive. It is an active navigation aid for vessels entering the East Passage between Conanicut Island and Aquidneck Island. The lighthouse was completed in 1890 on property formerly belonging to the naturalist, oceanographer, and zoologist Alexander Agassiz of Harvard University. Agassiz sold the land to the United States Government for the lighthouse for $1.00.

Raymond Terrace.
This town is located at the confluence of the Hunter and Williams Rivers as they enter the estuary region of Newcastle. Not linked to the rivers is Lake Grahamstown which is really a water storage dam taking waters from the Williams River through a canal to the dam. It provides about 40% of the Hunter region water supply and the dam and lake was created between 1956 and 1965. The town of Raymond Terrace was named after Lieutenant Raymond who was in the party led by Lieutenant Shortland who discovered the Hunter River region in 1797 when looking for escaped convicts. The terrace name was meant to describe the terraced or layered appearance of the trees along the Hunter River where they camped. On a visit to this spot in 1818 Governor Macquarie named it Raymond Terrace. Australian cedar cutters were here from the early 1800s but the first land grants only date from the early 1820s and the town itself was established in 1837. In the 19th century Raymond Terrace was a bustling river port and some river barges and ships were constructed here. The area along the Hunter River soon had warehouses, ship yards etc. The town has many sandstone and heritage buildings. These include in King Street: the Richardson and Scully warehouse/action rooms from around 1854; the old commercial building from 1847 which is now marked the Masonic Lodge as it was from 1920 to 2013; and several 1880s hotels and general stores. Look for the Marriage Trees in King Street too. In Sturgeon Street is the sandstone Anglican Church built in 1862 and across the street from it facing Jacaranda Street is the former Anglican rectory. This fine colonial house built in 1844 is now a function centre. The Norfolk Island pines in the garden were planted in 1850.
An 1850 split slab cottage known as Sketchley Cottage, built for an ex-convict William Sketchley, is now the town museum. William Sketchley was assigned as a convict to work for John Richardson in 1830 on the Hunter River. John Richardson’s son later had auction rooms in King Street in Raymond Terrace. They were then purchased by his grandson James Richardson in 1902 when his grandfather retired. The business was then known as Richardson and Scully until he sold it in 1910. The old 1854 warehouse was owned by the University of Newcastle Rowing Club from 1969 to 2004. Now privately owned since 2016. Sketchley cottage is of slab construction built before 1850 and moved to this site some decades ago. It has an extensive historical collection.
Near Raymond Terrace the National Trust has a fine historic property called Tomago House which is now permanently closed. A young barrister named Richard Windeyer had the house built. He bought around 30,000 acres of land in the Hunter Valley and 850 acres of land at this then swampy site around 1838. He had the house site drained and had the acreage planted in grape vines, sugar cane and wheat. He also had some livestock here. He was especially interested in wine and planted 12 acres of vines in 1842 and imported a German vineyard worker from South Australia in 1844 and others from Germany. They produced their first wine in 1845 making Windeyer one of the first successful wine makers in the Hunter Valley. For his wheat he imported the first wheat reaping machine into NSW from South Australia in 1846. Work began on Tomago House in 1840. Richard Windeyer died in 1847 at just 41 years of age. Their only child William Charles Windeyer was just 13 years of age at that time. Richard Windeyer’s wife Maria retained the 850 acres of Tomago estate and she eventually designed the estate chapel in 1860-61. Three generations of the Windeyer family lived on Tomago estate until 1944 when the property was sold. In the 1980s the Tomago Aluminium Smelter bought the property as a buffer around the smelter. In 1988 the smelter company donated 5 hectares (twelve acres) of land and the mansion to the National Trust. Only the chapel is visible from the road.

Besalú is a town in the comarca of Garrotxa, in Catalonia.
The town was once more important being the capital of the medieval county of Besalú, whose territory was roughly the same size as the current comarca of Garrotxa but sometime extended as far as Corbières, Aude, in France. Wilfred the Hairy, credited with the unification of Catalonia, was Count of Besalú. The town was also the birthplace of Raimon Vidal, a medieval troubadour.
Besalú was designated as a historical national property ("conjunt històric-artístic") in 1966. The town's most significant feature is its 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river, which features a gateway at its mid-point. The church of Sant Pere was consecrated in 1003. The town features arcaded streets and squares and also a restored Mikva, a ritual Jewish bath dating from the eleventh or twelfth century, located in the lower town near the river.
After a snowy night, I strolled around my neighborhood and the Chateau de Vermont was open, nobody was out there, alone in the park I could enjoy the silence and the the sound of my footsteps in the snow.

On a walk around Mona Vale with a Flickr freind May 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.
The land initially belonged to the Deans brothers, whose homestead is Riccarton House in Riccarton. William Derisley Wood leased the land and built what became known as Wood's Mill. The weir in the Avon River was built in the 19th century and forms the Mona Vale mill pond, which still exists today.
Frederick Waymouth and his wife Alice purchased four acres of land and had a homestead built in 1899–1900, designed by architect Joseph Clarkson
Maddison.Waymouth, who called the homestead Karewa, was the Managing Director of Canterbury Frozen Meats. Maddison was a well-known Christchurch architect, who amongst other buildings designed the freezing works in the Christchurch suburb of Belfast. It is thought that this connection between Waymouth and Maddison led to this commission.
The Mona Vale gate house in 2007
Waymouth sold the property to Annie Quayle Townend in 1905, who renamed it to Mona Vale after her mother's house in Tasmania. She was the daughter of a wealthy Canterbury run-holder, George Moore of Glenmark Station. She was his only surviving daughter and he had bequeathed her one million pounds, apparently making her New Zealand's richest woman at the time. Townend added nine acres of land to the property and had a gate house built just off Fendalton Road. After the New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, finished in 1907, she purchased the exhibitions fernery including its plants and had it reassembled at Mona Vale. The present collection of ferns were supplied by Landcare Research in Lincoln, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the private collection of the late Arthur Ericson. Townend also added the bathhouse to the property. She died in 1914.
The property was sold in 1962 to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. When the church intended to subdivide the property and to demolish the homestead, a public outcry resulted in community fund-raising. The Christchurch City Council and the Riccarton Borough Council bought Mona Vale in June 1969 for the purpose of turning it into a public park. The purchase of Mona Vale is credited to Christchurch mayor Ron Guthrey.
Until the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the homestead was operated as a restaurant, café and function centre, often used for weddings. The building is currently closed due to earthquake damage.

I passed this castle back in the summer of 2020, I could see the ruins though through large flourishing trees covered in lush greenery, I re-visited Saturday 21st November 2020 on a magnificent Autumn day, offering
better opportunity to capture this magnificent ruin.
The first mention of Esslemont is as the 'manor of Eislemont' in the 14th century.
The lands of Esslemont were passed by marriage from the family of Mareschal by marriage of the heiress Janet to Francis le Chen of Straloch in the 14th century.
After the castle was burnt in 1493, Henry Cheyne undertook re-building via a king's licence dated 1500. In 1564 Patrick Cheyne was created baron of Esslemont by Queen Mary, who stayed here during her campaign against the Earl of Huntly, and a fortalice and tower were recorded in 1575–6.
The castle was then destroyed as the result of a feud between the Cheynes and the Hays.
The name of the lands, now as "Essilmounthe", appears in Scottish records in 1609.
The castle ceased to be regularly occupied in 1625, when the estate passed to the Errol family. In 1728 it became the property of Robert Gordon and may have been partially occupied till 1769, when the existing mansion, Esslemont House, was erected in its vicinity.
In 1938 excavations within the enclosure revealed the lower courses of the earlier castle, a massive, L-shaped towerhouse with walls 6–7 feet (1.8–2.1 m) thick and 6 feet (1.8 m) maximum height. There had been a curtain wall 4 feet (1.2 m) thick. The surrounding ditch may date from the 14th century.
Finds from the excavation included 14/15th century potsherds, a medallion, and a worn shilling of William III.

There had been a curtain wall 4 feet (1.2 m) thick. The surrounding ditch may date from the 14th century. Finds from the excavation included 14/15th century potsherds, a medallion, and a worn shilling of William III.
The castle is roofless and missing large sections of wall which were reused in building sites nearby. Especially noticeable are the missing dressed stones of the windows.
The structure is a L Plan castle with a staircase turret and a round tower at the south east angle. The main building seems on the ground floor to have contained the kitchen, with a wide fireplace in the north gable; the rugged edges of the ruined sides of the flue being visible high up in the gable.
Though ruined, the remains are clearly on three stories. The Gordon Arms are visible on the exterior of the castle.
Despite standing close beside the road, Esslemont castle is easily missed by motorists looking for a last opportunity to get past two cars and a van before reaching the confines of Ellon's 30mph speed limit! It stands on the north side of the A920 largely hidden by trees, about two miles west of Ellon, in the grounds of Esslemont House - for long the seat of the Wolridge-Gordon family.
The building is a variation of the L-plan, with a main block orientated north / south, and a wing extending west (to the left in this photo) from the south end of the main block (parallel with the main road). There was a stair tower in the re-entrant angle on the North West side, and a large round tower, corbelled out to the square at the top, on the outside angle of the L to the south east. The remains of the kitchen chimney flue can also still be traced. The building would have been three storeys and an attic high.
This shows the gable of the south end of the main block, with the scant remains of the west wing's stonework to the left, and the round tower on the external angle of the L to the right. The way the round tower is corbelled out to the square at the top, no doubt to form a watch chamber, is reminiscent of Claypotts castle in Dundee. The Wolridge-Gordons must have stabilised the ruins some time back, which would explain the condition of the pointing, which one would expect to be in much worse condition on a castle in this state. The windows in this south gable, as elsewhere in the main block, are rather larger than usual, which might be the result of the castle's dressed stone, including the window surrounds, being taken away for use in other buildings.
This crest in the south wall shows beyond doubt that Esslemont Castle has been a Gordon property. It shows three boars heads at the bottom, the Gordon motto "Bydand", meaning steadfast, at the top, and in the centre a stag's head above a crown. Despite this, the castle was not built by the Gordons. It was erected by Henry Cheyne of Straloch under a license dated 1500, and was only regularly lived in for about a century.
The previous castle on this site was destroyed as the result of a feud between the Cheynes of Esslemont and the Hays of Ardendracht in 1493 - not the building we see today. Following this event the Privy Council decreed that the Hays should pay 20 pounds compensation to the Cheynes, and no doubt making best possible use of this handsome sum, the Cheynes erected the building we see today, although probably not until nearly a century later. (There are features of the castle's design that date it to the period 1570 to 1590)
In 1938 the site of Esslemont Castle was excavated and a considerable amount was discovered, most of which has now vanished back under the undergrowth again. For a start, the foundations of a second castle were discovered a short distance to the west of the present structure. This too was an L-plan castle, and it sat in the middle of a five sided courtyard, which had round towers on all the corners, 19ft in diameter. The round tower of the present castle (see here) sits on the foundations of the easternmost tower of this curtain wall ("wall of enceinte"), and the site of another tower is now under the main road. The report on the excavation of this older castle states that "Traces of fire were abundantly present in and around the tower house", which proves that this was the castle burned down by the Hays, and not the structure we see today. Around the outside of the wall of enceinte there was also a ditch.
The existing castle was built by the Cheynes, probably between 1570 and 1590, and was no doubt built using the stones of its predecessor.
During the religious troubles of Reformation period it became the property of George Jamesone, a famous painter, who died in 1644.
In 1646 it was occupied by a party of Covenanters, but a party from the Royalist garrison at Fyvie castle, under the command of Capt. Blackater attacked Esslemont and drove the Covenanters off "killing thirty six of them, and brought away their horses and arms, with such other stuff as they had".
The Earls of Erroll, who had acquired the estate after Jamesone's death, sold it in 1728 to Robert Gordon of Hallhead (near Alford), with whose descendants it remains to this day.
1493 ~ Esslemont Castle is attacked and burnt by the Hays of Ardendracht. They are later fined by The Privy Council £20 for the destruction they caused.
1500 ~ The Cheynes receive a licence to crenellate a part of their repairs.
1564 ~ Mary, Queen of Scots is entertained at the castle.
1570 ~ A new two-storey L-plan Tower House is built in a corner of the existing castle with one of the round towers of the curtain wall incorporated into its Tower House. Stone from the original castle is used in its construction.
1625 ~ The castle passes to the Errol family but, as they had other residences, Esslemont is neglected.
1646 ~ Esslemont is briefly occupied by Covenanter forces but they are driven off by the pro-Royalist forces from Fyvie Castle, "killing thirty six of them, and brought away their horses and arms, with such other stuff as they had"
1728 ~ The castle is sold to Robert Gordon and continues to be used as an occasional residence until Esslemont House was built forty years later, thereafter falling into ruin
Esslemont Castle was originally an enclosure castle until being turned into a three storey L-shaped Tower House.
It is situated very close to the A920, almost hidden by trees.
This crest in the south wall shows that Esslemont Castle was once a Gordon property.
There is still plenty of the castle that remains to explore, including extensive foundations of a bakery, brewhouse and stables that lay hidden beneath the undergrowth.
SET 6 – Horn Lake Target, Post-Remodel
In this shot farther out in the parking lot, we can see the dividing line between the Target portion of the property and the neighboring stores (which connect to Home Depot down at the other end of the strip) clearly delineated by the change in asphalt color; while both sections were repaved in recent-ish memory, the Home Depot/shopping center side was clearly the more recent of the two. I also find it interesting how the paving ends in the middle of this row of parking spaces rather than at the edge!
