The town is still divided into four quadrants by Watling Street and Icknield Way. As you can see, Watling Street has changed a bit since Roman times.
The fine array of semaphores at Abergavenny is lit up by the evening light. The Abergavenny signaller is at work in the box, readying the route for the upcoming Midland Pullman ECS heading to Crewe. A few rather decrepit sidings cling on in the right of the photograph. I really do love the Welsh Marches.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge

Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
Built on the site of the old County Goal, the store was originally much smaller than it is today. Built for £2721, it was an impressive building, fronted with red brick and white dressings. It was opened on 29th June, in 1881 by Thomas Hughes QC (author of Tom Browns School Days), for the sale of bread, grocery, shoes and drapery. By 1902 it was extended to include a larger grocery and a confectionery shop. This was opened by Daisy Warwick, Countess of Essex from Easton Lodge. Since then, over the years adjoining units were purchased until 1958 when work began to rebuild the entire store at a cost of £300 000. This was in fact the largest building project to be complete in Chelmsford since World War 11. The new store included a self service food hall, footwear, toys, lingerie, fashions, drapery, specialise baby linen and a floral department.
In 1969 the Society acquired the site of the London Road, Congregational Church and by 1973 opened a new unit (now Dansk) joined to the original store by a bridge. The double unit was then re-named Co-operative House. By 1990 a refurbishment added an impressive glass entrance to the New London Road unit, which gave rise to the new name ‘quadrant’. However, by 1995, due to recession, New London Road was taken over by Maples and then Allders until it was finally acquired by Dansk in 2010.
The final major change in the stores history came in 1995, when it added a third floor for beds, extended its fashion range and changed its colour scheme to the black and white theme as seen today. Chelmsford Star is now the only Co-operative Society in East Anglia to still have department stores and is proud to own Chelmsford’s only independent department store

Pulling away from Liskeard station on a London bound HST from Penzance on 21st April 2015.
The splitting centre-pivot lower quadrant signal is still working at the end of the platform. It is a rare "gallows" signal that is specially designed to be visible to drivers of trains without being obscured by either the waiting shelter or the station footbridge.
Was experimenting with Photoshop preset action and think that this is quite interesting. What do you think?

Tonight we take a look into the Mud Bay territory, not a whole lot was going on the BCRAIL Port Subdivision except for this Q139 running points west towards Roberts Bank with CN 3369W in the lead. At least the sunset was a delight to see ending the evening off.
The bike on which Team Sky cyclist Chris Froome won the 2013 Tour de France came to visit our offices ahead of a Sky Ride event.
I understand this is a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 which is a carbon fibre made to measure machine costing about £10,000.
The bike weighed nothing and could be picked up wih one finger! The water bottles, when full, are heavier than the bike!

I've been trying to take this style of image since seeing Steve Parish talk at the norwood town hall a few weeks back. IT's amazing how symmetry of a single image can produce such abstract looking results. The original image is the bottom left corner.

Far from completion, these are simply test shots for a commissioned piece based on the Crescent at Buxton in Derbyshire. In fact the model will portray just a quadrant of a whole circle rather than the semicircle of the inspiration. I've just got the facade put together so far - there will be a squared off building at each end, and of course, as yet there is no roof.

It was near some artillery stuff - so I'm guessing it's used for determining elevation.

RD7927. An impressive bracket signal outside Cockcrow Hill station on the Great Cockcrow Railway. The signals indicate that we have the through road which continues past the station to the loop round Cockcrow Hill.
The Great Cockcrow Railway is an impressive and extensive fully signalled 7¼” gauge line near Chertsey in Surrey. It has two intertwined routes, each giving a ride of around 20 minutes, and six or more trains can be in operation at any one time; there are also some steepish gradients to make the engines work hard.
