The mill was built in 1868 on Slippery Rock Creek, replacing a 1852 mill that burned. Thomas McConnell bought the mill in 1875 and replaced the waterwheel with water turbines and the grinding stones with rolling mills. The mill was one of the first rolling mills in the country. The mill closed in 1928.
The covered bridge was built in 1874 using the Howe truss design. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1998. The bridge, open to motorized traffic, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Kallista replaced the Panther Lima as Panther Car Company's volume model for the 1980s. Unlike the Vauxhall-based Lima, the Kallista used Ford mechanicals, including a range of engines from 1.6 L straight-4 to 2.9 L Cologne V6. The later SsangYong-built models of the 1990s used a 2.3 L engine.
The Kallista used an aluminium body over a purpose-built steel chassis. Performance was good, with a sprint to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) taking under 8 seconds.
The Kallista was produced from 1982 through 1990 until SsangYong Motor Company released a badge engineered version in 1992 called the SsangYong Kallista. Only 78 of the SsangYong models were ever built.

This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52
The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Replacing a tire on one of the snowblowers. Those are some big tires, and it looks like it would be a challenge to change the tire in the snow.
Built in 1906-1917, this Beaux Arts-style Capitol Building was designed by George B. Post to house the state house of representatives, state senate, and offices for the Wisconsin State Government. The fourth state capitol to house the state government since the state’s establishment in 1848, the building is the third building to sit on the present site, and replaced the previous state capitol, built in 1857-1869 and expanded in 1882, which burned down in February of 1904. The capitol houses both the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate, as well as the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Wisconsin. The first capitol of Wisconsin upon the formation of Wisconsin Territory in 1836 was in the village of Belmont, Wisconsin, with the legislature meeting in a hastily constructed wood-frame building, before deciding to designate the future site of Madison as the state capitol, and holding further sessions of the legislature in the much better-developed Mississippi River port town of Burlington (now in Iowa) until a capitol building could be completed in Madison. Upon Burlington becoming part of the new Iowa Territory, the state legislature moved to a log and stone building on the present site of the state capitol, a relatively humble Greek Revival-style building constructed in 1837, which looked much like older capitol buildings in the eastern United States, with doric columns and a rusticated fieldstone exterior. It was most similar to the Old State House in North Carolina, built only four years prior, and the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, built in the same year, though these two similar buildings were built almost entirely of stone blocks rather than fieldstone. The small second capitol building was the first state capitol of Wisconsin upon its ascension to statehood in 1848, but had become inadequate for the growing population and government by the 1850s. The original building was demolished and replaced with a larger, Classical Revival-style structure with Romanesque Revival elements constructed in stages between 1857 and 1869, which featured a dome inspired by the United Capitol Building, semi-circular porticoes with corinthian columns, and two short side wings with octagonal towers at the corners, which were modified and extended in 1882 with new wings that increased the Classical Revival aspects of the building and helped to downplay the Romanesque Revival elements that originally were very prominent on the structure. This building was oriented with the semi-circular original porticoes aligned with State Street and King Street, with the wings being oriented towards both sections of Hamilton Street, though the building appeared rather small within the large parklike expanse of Capitol Square. By the turn of the 20th Century, the old Capitol had become inadequate for the growing needs of Wisconsin, which had become wealthy, industrialized, and heavily populated by that point, so study of a replacement capitol building began in 1903. In February 1904, the old State Capitol burned to the ground when a gas jet ignited a newly varnished ceiling inside the building, which spread quickly despite the building featuring a then-advanced sprinkler system, as the reservoir of the nearby University of Wisconsin was empty, which allowed the fire to spread out of control. The north wing of the building, built in 1882, was the only portion that survived, with many relics, records, and important historical items being lost in the fire, though the state law library was saved thanks to efforts by University of Wisconsin students. The fire also happened just after the state legislature had voted to cancel the fire insurance policy on the building, thinking it was a costly and unnecessary folly.
The present building was built on the site of the previous building, with the construction process focusing on completing each wing one at a time to provide space to the state government with as much fiscal efficiency as possible due to financial limitations. Due to this, the north wing was built last to allow the remaining portion of the previous capitol to serve as space for the state government during the construction period, with the central rotunda and dome also being built after the other three wings had been completed, as they serve a more symbolic and less utilitarian purpose than the rest of the building. The building stands 284 feet (86 meters) tall to the top of the statue on the dome, which was sculpted in 1920 by Daniel Chester French, and is a personification of the state of Wisconsin, with the outstretched arm of the statue representing the state motto, “Forward”. The exterior of the building is clad in Bethel white granite, sourced from Vermont, with an additional 42 types of stone from a total of eight states and six countries being utilized on the interior of the building. The dome is the largest in the world to be entirely clad in granite, and is the tallest building in Madison, with a state law passed in 1990 stipulating that any building within a one-mile radius of the capitol is limited in height to the base of the columns of the dome, which stand at 187 feet, which preserves the visibility of the building from the surrounding landscape. The building has a greek cross footprint with four five-story wings that are aligned with the compass directions and radial streets following the compass directions that slice through the surrounding street grid, which is at a 45-degree angle to compass directions, instead roughly paralleling the shorelines of nearby Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with Downtown Madison sitting on an isthmus between the two lakes. This places the building at a unique 45-degree angle orientation relative to the edges of Capitol Square and most buildings on adjacent streets. The building was one of the last works of the prolific architect George B. Post, whom died before the building was completed. The building underwent a major renovation in the 1970s that added modern features to the interior and covered up many original features, with later projects between 1988 and 2002 restoring the building while updating the building’s systems and functions for the modern needs of the state government.
The exterior of the building’s wings feature porticoes on the ends with corinthian columns, arched windows on the third floor, rusticated bases with entrance doors and decorative keystones, decorative reliefs featuring festoons over the windows on the porticoes, cornices with modillions and dentils, and pediments with sculptural reliefs, which were created by several sculptors, and have different symbolism embodied by their design. On the east wing, which is home to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the sculpture known as Law, created by Karl Bitter, is located on the portico pediment, on the west wing, which houses the chamber of the Wisconsin Assembly, is a sculpture known as Agriculture, also created by Karl Bitter, on the north wing, which is home to a hearing chamber, is the sculpture known as Virtues and Traits of Character, created by Adolph Alexander Weinman, and on the south wing, which houses the chamber of the Wisconsin Senate, is a sculpture known as Wisdom and Learning of the World, created by Attilio Piccirilli. The sides of the wings feature simpler cornices with dentils, pilasters and recessed window openings with arched openings at the ground floor, windows with decorative pedimented headers on the second floor, arched windows on the third floor, two small two-over-two windows on the fourth floor, and a recessed fifth floor features small paired windows, hidden behind a balustrade that runs around the entirety of the building minus the ends of the wings, concealing a low-slope roof at the setbacks on the sides of the wings and above the corner porticoes. The upper roofs of the wings are low-slope with front gabled portions in the middle punctured by skylights, with the roof being almost entirely enclosed by a parapet. At the center of the building in the inside corners of the greek cross are semi-circular portions of the facade with semi-circular two-story ionic porticos with large terraces and grand staircases featuring decorative copper lampposts, decorative stone balustrades, concealed entrances to the ground floor underneath the terraces, and three doorways on the upper level, with drums surrounded by buttresses featuring small windows and domed roofs above the balustrade on the fifth floor. In the center of the building is the rotunda, which is topped with a large dome that rises from a tall base that terminates in a balustrade, with a low-slope roof at the base of the drum of the dome, which features a level with small windows at the base, with projected pavilions at the corners above the semi-circular porticoes below, which were originally to support four smaller domes, but ended up supporting sculptures by Karl Bitter, symbolizing strength, faith, prosperity, and abundance and knowledge. The drum of the dome is surrounded by a corinthian colonnade with corinthian pilasters on the exterior wall of the dome behind the colonnade, arched windows, and recessed decorative panels at the top of the colonnade below the architrave. Above the architrave is a cornice with modillions and dentils, above which is another balustrade, accessed via doors from the interior space above the inner dome of the rotunda, and ringed by six-over-six windows, pilasters, and a cornice with egg and dart motif at the top. Above this last cornice is the dome, which is ribbed, with the ribs terminating in voluted upside down brackets at the base, and clad in granite, terminating at the top at a balustrade around the base of the lantern. The cylindrical landern features corinthian columns, arched windows, festoons, with a concavely sloped roof featuring rubs terminating in volutes, above which is the base of the Wisconsin statue, which is coated in gold leaf.
The interior of the building is richly decorated with Beaux Arts detailing, utilizing plaster, a diverse array of stone and woodwork, engaged columns and pilasters, murals, vaulted ceilings, decorative balustrades, grand staircases, and modern oak furniture. The interior dome features a mural by Edwin Howland Blashfield, known as Resources of Wisconsin, which sits in the middle of the dome’s coffered ceiling, above the upper balcony at the base of the drum. The rotunda features green and white marble corinthian columns with gold leaf on the capitals, vaulted alcoves on the sides with coffered ceilings, a stone floor, and features marble from Tennessee, Missouri, Vermont, Georgia, New York, and Maryland, granite from Wisconsin and Minnesota, limestone from Minnesota and Illinois, marble from France, Italy, Greece, Algeria and Germany, and syenite from Norway. A large circular opening in the floor of the center of the rotunda allows light into the lower level of the building, and is supported by a ring of square columns underneath. The light fixtures in the space are a combination of lampposts and sconces. The pendentives below the drum of the dome in the rotunda are decorated with glass mosaics by artist Kenyon Cox. The interior’s decoration denotes hierarchy of space, with the level of detail varying throughout the building’s interior from simple offices and service areas to the grand public spaces, such as the rotunda and government meeting chambers. The two-story senate chamber is circular with marble cladding, corinthian columns, and pilasters on the walls, a decorative ceiling with a central shallow domed decorative glass skylight, and coffers with rosettes, with murals above the main podium, and balconies inside the alcoves behind the columns for spectators and observers. The two-story assembly chamber features a similar shallow domed decorative glass skylight on the ceiling, but is square in shape with decorative pendentives and arches on the perimeter of the space opening into alcoves with vaulted ceilings, with wood paneling and a large mural behind the main podium, and balconies in the upper level of the alcoves. The supreme court chamber is square with a square decorative glass skylight in the room’s coffered ceiling, white marble pilasters, paneling, and murals on the walls, and arched niches housing candelabra-type lamppost light fixtures. The north wing hearing chamber features a massive cove ceiling with decorative trim and murals, with a large square decorative glass skylight in the middle, and walls lined with ionic pilasters and stone panels. The Governor’s Conference Room, located in the east wing, features a heavily decorated ceiling with multiple coffers housing murals, decorative stained woodwork, a fireplace with a decorative marble surround flanked by two corinthian columns, and gold leaf on some of the trim. The interior of the building is even more richly detailed than the exterior.
The building, which has been fully modernized and restored to some semblance of its original appearance, remains the seat of the government of Wisconsin, presently the 25th largest by land area and 20th largest by population in the United States. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, owing to its historical and architectural significance, and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 2001. The building visually dominates the isthmus that makes up Downtown Madison, and sits in the city’s central square, one of the most visually impressive and stunning sitings of any capitol building in the United States.

First thing to go in our new house is the fireplace. The electric pretend fire is to be replace with a log burner. The fitters are coming to rip it out tomorrow, so I will do some stage shots as it is removed. Watch this space!!!
Hello friends!
So i had just replaced my girl Chantelle's clothing, straightened and cut the wig and exchanged the body not too long ago and now shes done! Yes? no? maybe so? XD well it's in the eye of the beholder kind of situation:-)
Me-" Okay are you ready now with your outfit?"
C-" No i don't wanna go take a picture i wanna go outside!..."
Me-" But i already set up the poster Chantelle, it'll be easier to do it here"-
C-" No!" (Runs out and sits on the front porch making a stink face)
Me-" Well, i mean sure you can if you want to that bad...Just don't move too much...the bee's sense fear."
C-" wait...WHAT?" (Runs inside screaming and hiding)
Me-" Just kidding Chantelle, XD we can go outside im just playing with you"
C-" Yeah...haha..ha..." (Looking around wildly)
Me-" Well...the bee's wont hurt you, but maybe the big family sparrows will snatch you up."
C-"What...wait tell me you're kidding?!"
Me-"Nope."
Maybe one day i'll confess about that, but first i'll wait till she apologizes about stealing all her friends clothes and claiming them as her own... Oh Chantie...
My story- Episode 7----
The moment after my shoot and interview was one of the most intense moments of my life. Mike asked me to sit down at at a pristine white desk. My entire career rested on the moment he opened his lips to speak.
I gulped.
"After reviewing your portfolio, We have come to the decision to hire you as a portrait and runway model here at Olsen!"
My heart skipped at beat at that sentence. This was my turning point. Everything in my life would change.
"Thank you, Thank you!" I squealed as I jumped up from the desk and shook his hand wildly. He smiled, nodded, stacked some papers, and headed for his office as I strode in to the dressing room.
"I made the cut!" I exclaimed for all of the girls to hear. Some smiled and daintily clapped, While Janette ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"I'm so glad to hear that!" She said, pulling away from me. I smiled in response. After that, We both headed back to the sofa to chat. She invited me for coffee at her favourite place that I've never heard of before called, "Black Bean." After spending some time with her, I knew that we'd instantly become great friends.
* * * * *
Lately I've come to realize how great of a person Janette is. We share a lot of the same interests, Like artwork, music, and of course, sports! She's like the sister I never had. Other then my own two, but, They weren't exactly my best friends. She's also very pretty, I envy her! Ever since I came she's been sooo nice to me and gave me a warm welcome. I feel like I can share anything with her. She builds me up, Like friends are supposed to do, Right? But in all honesty, I really don't recall feeling this way about someone before.
It feels weird. Not like the kind of feeling you feel with your family, or your pets, or even friends. It's different. And I'm not sure as to what it is.
But I have a suspicion.

Pyrite-dacite stockwork – San Miguel pyrite mine, Huelva, Spain (Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous, Volcano-Sedimentary Complex, Iberian Pyrite Belt)
The Iberian Pyrite Belt is located in the SW of the Iberian Peninsula, comprising part of Portugal and of the provinces of Huelva and Seville in Spain. It forms an arch about 240 km long and 35 km wide between Seville and the proximities of Grándola in Portugal. Geologically, it belongs to the South Portuguese Zone, the southernmost of the zones in which the Iberian Massif is divided. The Iberian Pyrite Belt is one of the most important volcanogenic massive sulphide districts in the world, and has been mined during more than 5000 years.
The stratigraphic sequence of the Iberian Pyrite Belt is relatively simple.
1). It begins with a basal unit (Phyllite-Quartzite Group or PQ Group) with more than 2000 m of slate and sandstone with siliciclastic shelf facies and of Late Devonian age.
2). The PQ Group is overlain by the Volcano-Sedimentary Complex (CVS, Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous), reaching a thickness of 1300 m and deposited in an intracontinental basin during the oblique collision of the South Portuguese Zone (Avalonia?) against the Iberian Massif (Gondwana). The volcanism of the Pyrite Belt shows compositions from basalt to rhyolite. The most felsic terms dominate, as domes and sills associated to volcanoclastic deposits with similar composition, as well as slate and chemical sediments.
3). The Culm Group diachronically lays on the CVS, and consists of a synorogenic flysch with an Early Carboniferous age. The whole series is affected by very low degree metamorphism and a fold and thrust tectonic (“epidermic belt”) within the context of Variscan.
The San Miguel mine is the best outcrop example in the Pyrite Belt of a stockwork and massive sulphides replacing volcanic rocks. Besides, it displays one of the most spectacular gossan of the area, with works from Roman times.
The recent works began in 1851, and between 1851 and 1960 1,29 million tons of ore were extracted with a 2-3% Cu and 46% S. Copper content was very irregular, but increased significantly towards the supergene alteration zone. Most of the “gossan” has been recently worked by Minas de Rio Tinto Co.
The mine worked several lenses of massive sulphides. The biggest one, San Miguel, is 200 m long with an average thickness of 10 m and 40 m maximum, and has been tracked to a depth of 155 m.
Geologically, the massive sulphides replace a volcanoclastic breccia marginal to a dacitic dome. They have coarse grain size with abundant quartz and chlorite inclusions. In detail, there is a gradation from a “stockwork” in chloritized and silicified dacite, to the massive sulfides. The upper contact is a thrust plane with slates and volcanoclastic rocks. In the easternmost part of the mine, the massive sulphides are covered by a thick gossan with a sharp contact with the massive sulphides. There are abundant rests of Roman mining in the gossan and cementation zone.
The San Miguel mineralizations originated from the interaction of hydrothermal fluids with deep sea rocks and sediments. Hydrothermal fluids, with temperaturesof 350 ºC, generated from a high geothermal gradient, rose to seabed porous and fractured areas, giving rise to various reactions between fluids and rocks.
This process caused the alteration of volcanic rocks and the deposit of sulfides, both in open spaces (fractures and pores) and replacing rocks and sediments. The outcrop is interpreted as part of the channels that hot fluids used to ascend to seabed.

First flown as F-GFKH in Jun-89 (in the days when aircraft destined for a French airline didn't use an F-WWxx registration), this aircraft was delivered to Air France in Aug-89. It was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA in Dec-13 after 24 years in service. Updated 11-Aug-21.
American Trans Air—better known as ATA—was begun in 1973 with two Boeing 720s operating on behalf of the Ambassadair Travel Club. By 1981, it had amassed a fleet of eight Boeing 707s, enough that ATA relaunched itself as a charter airline, especially for US military contracts. ATA grew substantially during the 1980s, eventually replacing its ancient 707s with more modern McDonnell Douglas DC-10s, Lockheed L-1011s, and Boeing 757s. Its exemplary service during the First Gulf War in transporting American troops to the war zone earned it more lucrative US government contracts.
ATA’s management was wise enough to realize that government contracts would not save the airline, and as early as 1986 began scheduled flights between Indiana and Florida, catering to the Florida vacation tourist. In 1995, these operations included flights from Chicago to Hawaii and from London to Orlando. Though it billed itself as a low-cost “no frills” airline, in reality ATA maintained full service on its charter flights. Basing itself out of Chicago-Midway, by 2000 ATA placed a large order for next generation 737s to replace most of its aging fleet and allow ATA to continue to expand its scheduled service.
The post-9/11 airline downturn struck ATA at exactly the wrong time: the airline was overextended and already running at a loss due to the 737 purchase. Though it received a bailout from the US government and was able to continue its government charters (which were now even more important for moving American troops to Afghanistan and Iraq), ATA finally had to file bankruptcy in 2004. It shed two-thirds of its scheduled destinations and sold off about half its aircraft fleet, and along with a privatization package from ATA’s backers in 2006, was able to survive bankruptcy.
This proved only a temporary stay, however: ATA unwisely chose to replace its older L-1011 fleet with ex-Northwest DC-10s, but these aircraft were just as old and ATA could not truly afford the purchase; ATA also merged with World Airways and North American Airlines in an unsuccessful effort to save all three companies. Safety concerns led the US government to cancel its charter with ATA, which was the only thing keeping the airline afloat.
On April 2, 2008, ATA announced it was once more going bankrupt, but this time it also ceased operations immediately. This affected a number of travelers: so unexpected was the announcement that several ATA flights were in midair when it occurred, and more were stranded at airports, waiting for ATA flights that were now grounded. The aircraft were gradually disposed of, and Southwest Airlines acquired the rights to the American Trans Air brand.
This 757-300 shows ATA's final livery. N550TZ was delivered new to ATA in 2001; after ATA went bankrupt, it was picked up by Continental Airlines in 2010 as N73860, and as of this writing flies with United Airlines, after the merger with Continental.
I've mislaid the box but it wasn't original. Chad Valley perhaps, but the plywood pieces are thinner than any other Chad Valley I've handled?

Resembling an old-fashioned aerodrome, West Ham Garage consists of four long round-roofed blocks, two open-facing and two sealed.
The building was designed to replace Stratford and Waterden Road Garages (demolished as part of the Olympic Park developments). The garage was a brownfield site, previously occupied by a Parcelforce Depot.
Demolition at the ParcelForce site began late in 2007 and by February 2008 the operation of the Stratford garage had moved to part of the new site. Operations from the other garage, known as Waterden Road, relocated initially to newly acquired and refurbished premises at Rainham, moving to the temporary West Ham site in May 2008.
Construction of the new garage took place immediately to the south of the temporary premises and the main garage structure was basically complete by the end of March 2009, at which time ParcelForce vacated their site further to the south of the garage that would become the bus parking area. By December 2009 the garage’s engineering and operating staff had moved in to the new building, joined by head office staff from Ilford in February 2010. Work on the parking, washing and fuelling area was completed in June 2010 when the contractors handed over the site.
[Stagecoach Bus]
The building was Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects.
Environmental aspects of the design include green roofs (50% of which is covered in lichen) which also captures rainwater for re-use, natural lighting and ventilation in the offices, and a turbine generating power.

Old Delhi (Hindi: पुरानी दिल्ली; Punjabi: ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਦਿੱਲੀ; Urdu: پُرانی دِلّی; Purānī Dillī), is a walled city of Delhi, India, was founded as Shahjahanabad (Persian: شاه جهان آباد) by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1639. It remained the capital of the Mughals until the end of the Mughal dynasty. It was once filled with mansions of nobles and members of the royal court, along with elegant mosques and gardens. Today, despite having become extremely crowded and dilapidated, it still serves as the symbolic heart of metropolitan Delhi.
HISTORY
The site of Shahjahanabad is north of earlier settlements of Delhi. Its southern part overlaps some of the area that was settled by the Tughlaqs in the 14th century when it was the seat of Delhi Sultanate. The sultanates ruled from Delhi between 1206 and 1526, when the last was replaced by the Mughal dynasty. The five dynasties were the Mamluk dynasty (1206–90), the Khalji dynasty (1290–1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1414), the Sayyid dynasty (1414–51), and the Lodi dynasty (1451–1526).
Delhi remained an important place for the Mughals, who built palaces and forts. Most importantly, it was Shah Jahan, who had the walled city built from 1638 to 1649, containing the Lal Qila and the Chandni Chowk. Daryaganj had the original cantonment of Delhi, after 1803, where a native regiment of Delhi garrison was stationed, which was later shifted to Ridge area. East of Daryaganj was Raj ghat Gate of the walled city, opening at Raj Ghat on Yamuna River. First wholesale market of Old Delhi opened as the hardware market in Chawri Bazaar in 1840, the next wholesale market was that of dry fruits, spices and herbs at Khari Baoli, opening in 1850. The Phool Mandi (Flower Market) of Daryaganj was established in 1869, and even today, despite serving a small geographical area, it is of great importance due to dense population.
After the fall of the Mughal Empire post 1857 revolt, the British Raj shifted the capital of India to a less volatile city, Calcutta, where it remained until 1911. After the announcement of the change, the British developed Lutyens' Delhi (in modern New Delhi) just south-west of Shahjahanabad. At this point, the older city started being called Old Delhi, as New Delhi became the seat of national government. It was formally inaugurated as such in 1931. Until the 1930s, few people ventured outside the walled city; thus in the following years, as the walled city got more and more congested, other areas around it were developed.
WALLS AND GATES
It is approximately shaped like a quarter cìrcle, with the Red Fort as the focal point. The old city was surrounded by a wall enclosing about 6.1 km2, with 14 gates:
- Nigambodh Gate: northeast, leading to historic Nigambodh Ghat on the Yamuna River
- Kashmiri Gate: north
- Mori Gate: north
- Kabuli gate: west
- Lahori gate: west close to the Sadar Railway station, Railway Colony, including the tomb of Syed Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi.
- Ajmeri Gate: southeast, leading to Ghaziuddin Khan's Madrassa and Connaught Place, a focal point in New Delhi.
- Turkman Gate: southeast, close to some pre-Shahjahan remains which got enclosed within the walls, including the tomb of Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani.
- Delhi Gate: south leading to Feroz Shah Kotla and what was then older habitation of Delhi.
The surrounding walls, 3.7 m wide and 7.9 m tall, originally of mud, were replaced by red stone in 1657. In the Mughal period, the gates were kept locked at night. The walls have now largely disappeared, but most of the gates are still present. The township of old Delhi is still identifiable in a satellite image because of the density of houses.
The famous Khooni Darwaza, south of Delhi Gate and just outside the walled city, was originally constructed by Sher Shah Suri.
Streets and neighbourhoods
The main street, now termed Chandni Chowk, runs from the Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid. Originally a canal ran through the middle of the street.
North of the street, there is the mansion of Begum Samru, now called Bhagirath Palace. South is the street is Dariba Kalan, a dense residential area, beyond which is Jama Masjid. Daryaganj is a section that used to border the river at Rajghat and Zeenat-ul-Masajid.
The Urdu language emerged from the Urdu Bazaar section of Old Delhi. The Din Dunia magazine and various other Urdu publications are the reason of this language staying alive.
MAIN ARTERIES
- Netaji Subhash Marg/Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg leading to India Gate (north and south)
- Chandni Chowk/Khari Bawli Road (east and west)
Old Delhi is approximately bounded by these modern roads:
- Gokhle Marg (south)
- Mahatma Gandhi Marg road (east)
- Shraddhananda Rd (west)
- Jawaharlal Nehru Marg (south)
In 1876, Carr Stephen described the city as follows:
Of the two streets described by François Bernier, the longer extended from the Lahore Gate of the city to the Lahore Gate of the citadel, and the other from the Delhi Gate of the city to the Lahore Gate of the fort. Both these streets were divided into several sections, each of which was known by a different name.
The section between the Lahore Gate of the fort and the entrance of the street called the Dariba, known as the Khuni Darwazah, was called the Urdu or the Military Bazaar; owing, very probably, to the circumstances of a portion of the local garrison having been once quartered about the place. Between the Khuni Darwazah and the present Kotwali, or the Head Police Station of the city, the street has the name of Phul ka Mandi or the flower market. The houses in front of the Kotwali were built at a short distance from the line of the rest of the houses in the street, so as to form a square.
Between the Kotwali and the gate known as the Taraiah, was the Jauhari or the Jewellers' Bazaar; between the Taraiah and the neighbourhood known as Asharfi ka Katra, was, par excellence, the Chandni Chauk. There was a tank in the centre of the Chauk the site of which is now occupied by the Municipal Clock Tower, and beyond this to the Fatehpuri Masjid was the Fatehpuri Bazaar. The houses round Chandni Chauk were of the same height, and were ornamented with arched doors and painted verandahs. To the north and south of the square there were two gate-ways, the former leading to the Sarai of Jehan Ara Begum, and the latter to one of the most thickly populated quarters of the city. Round the tank the ground was literally covered with vegetable, fruit, and sweetmeat stalls. In the course of time the whole of this long street came to be known as the Chandni Chauk.
This grand street was laid out by Jahanara Begam, daughter of Shah Jahan. From the Lahore Gate of the fort to the end of the Chandni Chauk the street was about 40 yards wide and 1,520 yards long. Through the centre of this street ran the canal of 'Ali Mardan, shaded on both sides by trees. On the eastern end of the Chandni Chauk stands the Lahore Gate of the Fort, and on the opposite end the handsome mosque of Fatehpuri Begam).
The clock tower no longer exists, although the locationn is still called Ghantaghar. The Sarai of Jehan Ara Begum has been replaced by the city hall. The kotwali is now adjacent to Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib.
HISTORICAL SPOTS

OLD DELHI CUISINE
Old Delhi is well known for its cuisine. There area in and around Jama Masjid and Lal Kuan are predominantly Muslim. Hence the cuisine here is more meat dominant Mughlai cuisine. The area in and around Chandni Chowk is predominantly Jain and Baniya communities. Hence the food is strictly vegetarian and in a lot of cases made without onion and garlic. The famous Gali Paranthe Wali and Ghantewala halwai are also situated here.
Old Delhi is also famous for its street food. Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar areas have many street joints that sell spicy chaat (tangy and spicy snacks).
