I had a couple attempts at shooting the Quadrant before I was happy with it. The angles are very strange. The Quadrant is a very lucky pub - there's been a lot of re-development around the clock tower, but since the interior has listed status, so must keep all it's original features, the pub has been left standing while a lot of the surrounding buildings and infrastructure are new.
5051. Transferred to the RAN in Sydney on October 18, 1945 - with a crew from the loaned 'N' Class destroyer HMAS NIZAM which was reverting to Royal Navy control - HMAS QUADRANT, LCDR W.F. Cook, RAN, is seen here as a member of the RAN's reconstituted 10th. Destroyer Flotilla.
We had another rather fine image of QUADRANT in theis joining period back at pic NO. 828, here:
And a particularly fine US Navy image of her in her last months as a unit of the British Pacific Fleet beside the above, at poiuc NO. 827, here:

Built by Hawthord Leslie and Co. Ltd of Hebburn on Tyne, the 1,705 ton destroyer was completed on November 26, 1942, and served first on Arctric convoys before joining the British Eastern Fleet in 1944, and then the BPF a year later.
As a destroyer QUADRANT a little more than two years with the RAN before being laid up in 1948 in reserve, and then - on February 15, 1950 - entered Williamstown Naval Dockyard to become g the first of her class in the RAN to go into a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate conversion, emerging from the dockyard in October 1953.
As a Type 15 QUADRANT she was not a complete success, as she was laid up in 1957, when her hull and engines were reported to be unserviceable. She was sold to the Kinoshita company of Japan for scrapping in 1963.

I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
Now installing a shower enclosure has never been easier. The stylish Slot and Lock Quadrant from Aqualux is a new concept for the UK market. Using the innovative Slot and Lock system, it is the first in a series of unique, screwless enclosures, which take as little as 5 minutes to assemble.

The question when the Quadrant opened has been asked and I found a copy of the proposed stand allocations together with a note on the reverse which said:- "Quadrant Phase l - all Coach Station services transfer first on 6 November 1878.

Lewis Carroll wrote this little text to introduce Victorian children to the concepts of logic. He devised a game, the game of logic, which takes place on a square grid divided into four quadrants. A player uses colored markers to diagram the meaning of propositions such as “some cakes are sweet” and “all tigers are fierce.” The game does a decent job of teaching basic logical theory, coming as it does from the author of “Alice in Wonderland” who, along with his whimsical literary interest in nonsense, was a gifted mathematician.
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.
