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

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!
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.

The sine quadrant (Arabic: Rubul Mujayyab) - also known as the "Sinecal Quadrant" – was used for solving trigonometric problems and taking astronomical observations. It was developed by al-Khwarizmi in 9th century Baghdad and prevalent until the nineteenth century. Its defining feature is a graph-paper like grid on one side that is divided into sixty equal intervals on each axis and is also bounded by a 90 degree graduated arc. A cord was attached to the apex of the quadrant with a bead, for calculation, and a plumb bob. They were also sometimes drawn on the back of astrolabes.
A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960’s. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.
BEWARE ORDNANCE ‼️
There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.

More progress today on this classical terrace based on the Crescent in Buxton.
I've completed the roof this evening. Just hope that all that 'lead' is still there tomorrow morning!!
Then it's on with the chimneys.

2011-07-12 Vienna XXII. district (pond in Lobau national park, 150 msm Quadrant 7865/3).
German name: Europa-Schilf
Of course there are several other plant species to be seen here, first and foremost the leaves of Nuphar lutea, and then also the reflection of Populus alba trees. Further, if you look closely, Sagittaria sagittifolia, and also Hippuris vulgaris. Some others are not recognisable here (e. g. there's bound to be some Typha in there, but none that I could recognise in this shot).
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a prominent Latin Rite Catholic basilica located in Washington, D.C. It is the largest Catholic church in the United States, the eighth largest religious structure in the world, and the tallest building in Washington, D.C. An estimated one million pilgrims from around the country and the world visit the basilica each year. The basilica is located on Michigan Avenue in the northeast quadrant of Washington, on land donated by The Catholic University of America.
I thought that some of you might like a look at the Quadrant since it's been refurbished.As can be seen,more and more comfortable seating and loads of information everywhere.If you're still stuck there are local and National Express enquiries offices,constantly manned at the back wall and a Co-op,Greggs and a nice coffee bar included in the redevelopment too.
As for the manouvreing area it's still much the same,buses drive forward onto the 26 bays.They each have a large concrete buffer at the front though.Locals will well remember the incident when a National shot through the front of the building about 35 years back now.All in all a big improvement on the old one.There is a buslane too and a central reservation on the Kingsway so pictures are easy to get.Remember too,First Cymru buses come from all over the country ,so it's quite a bit more interesting than it might appear too.........

2010.07.11 NÖ, Schrems: abandoned peat-ditch (ehemaliger, in den 1980er-Jahren aufgelassener Torfstich), 539 msm Quadrant 7256/1.
No peat has been mined since the 1980ies, and a typical raised bog vegetation is beginning to re-establish itself.
You can see extensive Sphagnum cover in the background already.
