The Cathedral of the Annunciation (Russian: Благовещенский собор, or Blagoveschensky sobor) is a Russian Orthodox church dedicated to the Annunciation of the Theotokos.. It was originally the personal chapel for the Muscovite tsars, and its abbot remained a personal confessor of the Russian royal family until the early 20th century. The Cathedral of the Annunciation was built by architects from Pskov in 1484-1489 as part of Grand Duke Ivan III plans for a large-scale renovation of the Moscow Kremlin. It was built on the spot of an older 14th-century cathedral of the same name, which had been rebuilt in 1416. This older cathedral in turn had replaced a previous wooden church from the 13th century that had fallen victim to the frequent fires in the Kremlin.
Initially, today's Annunciation Cathedral just three domes. After being badly damaged in a fire again in 1547, the then Grand Duke and (the first Russian Tsar) Ivan the Terrible began a restoration of the church, which was completed in 1564. Two additional domes were added on the western side. The building was surrounded by parvises from three sides, and four single-cupola side chapels were built over the arched parvises, each with a dome, so that the cathedral is now a total of nine domes. In 1572, the cathedral received an additional staircase on its south facade, later called "Grosnenski"), named after Ivan the Terrible (Russian for "Ivan Grozny").

I replaced the original image with this (06-07-2014), after I found that using "puppet warp" in cs5 to further "defish" the image after I had limited success with the Hemi Fisheye plugin. Quite happy with the result.
To replace the crude mid section I settled on a simple flex joint. The system from the engine has no flex in it at all and all the movement of the engine places strain on the turbo exhaust flange so I was keen to add a flex so why not here. This will allow movement in the down pipe without causing stress. Plus saves me a tonne of work.
In the U.S. state of Colorado, Interstate 25 follows the north–south corridor through Colorado Springs and Denver. The highway enters the state form the North near Carr and exits the state near Starkville. The highway also runs through the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Pueblo. The route is concurrent with U.S. Highway 87 through the entire length of the state. I-25 replaced U.S. Highway 87 and most of U.S. Highway 85 for through traffic.
Historical nicknames for this route have included the Valley Highway (through Denver), Monument Valley Highway (through Colorado Springs), and the Pueblo Freeway (through Pueblo).
Interstate 25 is also considered to be part of the unofficial Pan-American Highway.
The interstate leaves Colorado Springs between exits 153 and 156, where I-25 enters the United States Air Force Academy, going through the east side of the territory.
I-25 leaves El Paso County and enters Douglas County at Monument Hill, elevation 7,352 feet, north of Monument. I-25 then continues north through more rural and hilly areas areas east of the Rocky Mountains until reaching Castle Rock at exit 181. I-25 continues through rural and hilly portions of Douglas County until interchanging with E-470, the partial beltway of Denver as the toll road serves the Centennial Airport and the much larger Denver International Airport.

Sixteen BLM Wyoming Rock Springs Field Office staff worked hand-in-hand with 11 volunteers to replace almost a quarter-mile of net wire fencing with wildlife friendly buck-and-rail fencing during a National Public Lands Day event at the historic 40-acre Crookston Ranch.
The ranch is located in the Greater Sand Dunes Area of Critical Environmental Concern near the Killpecker Sand Dunes Open Play Area northeast of Rock Springs, Wyo. and eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a representative example of Wyoming Basin homesteading era architecture. The BLM plans to preserve the historic nature of the ranch and provide interpretation on ranching history in the area.
Replacing the very old Shekou ferry terminal the Shekou Cruise Center in Shenzhen is the first Cruise ship terminal in China. Also functions as a ferry terminal for boats to Hong kong, Zhuhai and Macau.
Here is how the old bridge bridge was described: "Single-arch humpbacked limestone canal bridge, dated 1792, carrying Ratoath Road on north-south axis over Royal Canal. Elliptical arch with tooled limestone voussoirs and granite keystones rising from coursed limestone ashlar walls with curved limestone ashlar spandrels. Coursed limestone ashlar parapets with plat-band to base and flat limestone coping terminated to either end by round limestone piers with round capstones (replaced with cement to northwest). Parapet damaged and poorly rebuilt to north end of east parapet and to both ends of west parapet. Carved Portland limestone plaque set into both parapets with oval panels inscribed '1792 H.S Reilly Bridge & Lock'. Located adjacent to 8th Lock."
Up until a few years ago the Ratoath Road linked Cabra to Dunsink in north Dublin. The road crossed the Dublin to Sligo Railway Line at a level crossing and the Royal Canal at an existing masonry arch bridge [described above]. In April 2008 a feasibility study recommended the closure of the level crossing, XG002. At the time a major increase in railway and other traffic was expected for the following reasons:
Opening of the Spencer Dock Station in Dublin’s docklands
Reopening of the Clonsilla to Pace sections of the Dublin to Navan Railway Line
Reopening of the Pace to Navan sections of the Dublin to Navan Railway Line.
Improvement in Commuter and Intercity services on the Dublin to Sligo Line
Proposal for the DART Underground project between Docklands and Inchicore
Future electrification of the Maynooth Line
Roughan & O’Donovan Consulting Engineers were commissioned by Iarnród Éireann to design a scheme to eliminate the level crossing and the resulting scheme incorporated the following major elements:
Traffic, cycle and pedestrian facilities along the 500m of realigned road
Tie-in to the existing Ratoath Road at Marian School, circa 240m south of the level crossing
Landscaped embankment on the southern approach to the bridge constructed on the grassed area to the east of the existing road
A 70m long single span steel truss bridge crossing the railway and the canal
Reinforced earth walled embankment along the open land between the existing commercial units to the north of the bridge
Pedestrian ramped access to the canal from the north west side of the bridge
A revised signalised arrangement of the Ballyboggan Road junction
Closure of the existing XG002 Reilly’s level crossing
The scheme was approved in July 2011 and work commenced on site in July 2013 to be completed by 2015.

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.

We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us.

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!

先日買ったニコワンことNikon 1用の単焦点レンズ「1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8」用にレンズフードを購入。純正品の指定ではフジツボ型の「HB-N104」だけど、これが実に気持ち悪い形をしてる。フジツボ型とは良く言ったモンで、フジツボ見ると鳥肌が立つタイプな私としては許しがたかった。ネットで調べてみると、同じくNikon1用標準ズームレンズ1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6のレンズフードであるHB-N101が流用可能なことが分かる。ただ、このHB-N101は私も１つ買ったことあるけれど実に作りが悪いのに1900円弱もしやがる。
いろいろAmazonを見ていると、無駄に高いHB-N101互換品（＝パチもん）として怪しい中華製の「HB-N101 互換品LH-N101」が出ていることを発見。価格も約半額。純正品も別に良いモノでは無いので怪しいコレでいいや、とポチる。実用上の問題は全く感じませんから、コレで良いと思います。
パッケージにも商品にも単刀直入に「Replaces Nikon HB-N101」と書かれているから実に笑える。中国ってナンでもアリなんだな。
The Nemours Estate is a 300-acre country estate with jardin à la française formal gardens and a French neoclassical mansion in Wilmington, Delaware. Built to resemble a French château, its 105 rooms on five floors occupy nearly 47,000 sq ft. It shares the grounds at 1600 Rockland Road with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and both are owned by the Nemours Foundation.
Nemours was created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909–10 as a gift for his second wife, Alicia. It was named for the north-central French town of Nemours, which was affiliated with his great-great-grandfather, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. Carrère and Hastings designed the mansion, which is in the Louis XVI style of French architecture.
The house contains rare 18th-century French furniture and an eclectic collection of notable antiques, works of art and tapestries. Artworks range from 16th-century religious works to paintings by the European masters to early works by Americans Frederic Remington and Sidney Lawrence.
Of particular interest is a rare Louis XVI musical clock, circa 1785, by David Roentgen and Peter Kinzing, which plays four tunes on a dulcimer and pipe organ. Another clock at the mansion with a connection to French royalty is one made for Marie Antoinette, which she never received.
The mansion also has a chair from the 1937 coronation of King George VI, an event which was attended by Alfred I. du Pont's third wife Jessie, and a chair from Independence Hall. Alfred I. du Pont's own portrait is also in the mansion.
The estate has the most developed and largest jardin à la française (French formal garden)-style landscape park and collection of individual gardens in North America. The design is patterned after the gardens of Versailles surrounding the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles. Their central axis extends ⅓ of a mile from the mansion facade, paralleling the main avenue leading to the house. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with plantings, fountains, pools, a carillon tower, statuary, and a pavilion surrounded by naturalized woodlands.
The named features include:
The Boxwood Garden – French parterre garden with boxwood edging and a central faun fountain.
The Colonnade (1926) – memorial to Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and his son Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, designed by Thomas Hastings.
The Maze Garden – a maze garden with main hedges of Western Arborvitae 'Spring Grove', inner hedges of Japanese Barberry 'Crimson Pygmy', and central statue of Achievement, by Henri Crenier, atop a base with images of Triton and Neptune's face.
The Reflecting Pool (1 acre) – 40 feet in diameter, with 157 jets, backed by Japanese cryptomeria, pink flowering horse chestnut, and pin oaks.
The Sunken Gardens – designed by Alfred Victor du Pont and Gabriel Masséna. Features large lake, grottoes, and 1930 statue by Charles-Marie Sarrabezolles (1888–1971). A. V. du Pont (1900–1970) was the only son of the owner and an architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The Temple of Love – in classical style, with life-sized statue of Diana (1780) by Jean-Antoine Houdon.
The Nemours mansion and gardens reopened its gates on May 1, 2008, after closing in 2005 for a 3-year, $39 million renovation. The work, commissioned by the Nemours Foundation, was performed by world-class conservators, artisans and craftspeople who refurbished furniture, fabrics, tapestries, interior finishes, paintings, and sculptures. The comprehensive reconstruction included replacing the entire electrical system, draining and repairing the 800,000-gallon reflecting pool, and landscape restoration of the extensive formal gardens plantings, constructed design elements, and statuary.
I replaced my old icon photo that was taken in 2003. This is what I look like when I head out on the trail these days. The thing around my neck is my homemade aspirator (aka "pooter") for sucking bugs into an in-line container. Since I spend so much time down on my knees looking for beetles I consider knee pads essential. Rubber boots are a necessity in the cloud forest. My belt pouch is full of collecting vials, 100% DEET, a white plastic collecting sheet, various small hand tools. The belt also holds water bottle, canister of powerful bear spray, binoculars, flashlight, multitool, and, once I find it in my luggage, a hatchet. Lunch and rain wear is in a separate bag.

I'm working on an anthology of classic, epic poetry, which begins with selections from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey! :) I've replaced the Roman names with the Greek names: "RAGE, Sing, O goddess, the rage of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Greeks. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another."
All the best on your epic hero's odyssey into the art of photography!

First flown with the Boeing test registration N1786B, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to EuroCypria Airlines as 5B-DBV in Mar-03.
EuroCypria was owned by Cyprus Airways but because of their own poor financial situation, they sold EuroCypria to the Government of Cyprus in Jun-06. The Government withdrew it's support in Nov-10 and the company ceased operations.
The aircraft was returned to ILFC and re-registered N691LF in Dec-10 and parked at Perpignan, France. It was leased to T'Way Air (South Korea) as HL8237 in Jan-11.
The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Mar-23 and stored at Shannon, Ireland. It was ferried to Dothan, AL at the end of May-23 for continued storage, awaiting 'F' conversion, although as of Dec-25 it appears to be still waiting! Updated 29-Dec-25.
Replaced the plastic OEM skid plate with the beefy one from JNS Engineering. Just handling it, you know it is quality kit. In contrast, the stocker already had a crack in one of the mount point.

My furnace was repaired on Tuesday but the new valve failed so the young man that came today upgraded my system for me with all new stuff and no charge.
To replace the aging P-3 Orion (which first entered service in 1962), the US Navy has been looking for a replacement since the mid-1990s. It accepted and then rejected an upgraded Lockheed proposal, the P-7, and instead settled on Boeing's modified 737-800 airliner, the P-8A Poseidon. The P-8 is essentially a 737-800 airframe with the P-3's electronic suite, though it will be upgraded as time goes on. The first entered US Navy service in 2012.
India ordered a batch of P-8Is to replace their ancient Tupolev Tu-142 Bears, and these entered service in 2012 as well. I was able to get a shot of the fifth P-8I fitting out for delivery in May 2014, at the King County Airport facility. This aircraft now serves with INAS 312 Squadron.

The estimated 1.5 million dollar project will replace an existing concrete notched weir fishway for herring, reinforcing the dam and improve the fish ladder at historic Baxter Mill at Mill Pond on the Mills Creek, in West Yarmouth, MA on October 19, 2019.
An approximate $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Conservation Service (N?RCS) and a majority share from the Community Preservation Act has paid for the project.
The efforts will benefit six habitats. One of the habitats is the Mill Pond, which is the seasonal home of swan pairs. Water levels and construction activities have successfully been underway without disrupting the swans.
The construction will better stabilize the mill, a local tourist attraction. The new spillway will provide better flow through the grist mill. The dam’s earthen embankments will be made more stable with riprap rock and thick sheeting.
Since 1710, the Baxter Mill has been at this location. The dam suffered failures about 60 years ago, with subsequent rebuilds. Local funding will provide the restoration of the mill, which has been inoperative for 40 years.

The purpose of a steadicam is to be able to walk around hand-holding a video camera while filming a fluent motion, eliminating the bopping movement you will have when you walk around with the camera in your hand.
I was watching videos on YouTube yesterday on how to make your own cheap steadicam rig from readily available materials. This is inspired by one of those videos.
Made from parts I picked up at a hardware store (Clas Ohlson).
The head is from my old tripod that broke, but the head can be used.
The grip is a cheap mini tripod I found on sale for 39NOK. (~ 4€). The ballhead allows it to float.
The counterweight is a 1kg dumbbell from a set I had lying around.
Now, I made this with the 7D in mind, but currently it is to wiggly and a bit hard to balance out. I may replace the vertical bar with a longer and stiffer piece, maybe a piece of wood. But I realize walking around carrying the 7d plus the weight of the rig and the counterweight might prove a tough task.
However, I should be able to use it for video with my small p&s cams - the Panasonic LX3 and the Canon S5IS (shown here). I will take the LX3 for a spin tomorrow when it's light outside.

Settled in the late 18th Century by the Clay family, White Hall was built as a simple Georgian-style two-story brick farmhouse in 1798 by General Green Clay, with a kitchen wing being added in the early 19th Century to the side of the house. The house’s character changed radically with a major addition being undertaken to the side and rear of the original structure between 1861 and 1865, under the direction of architect Thomas Lewinski, which massively expanded the size of the house into a grand three-story mansion, and remodeled it in the then-popular Italianate style, with some Romanesque and Gothic details. The property around the house also includes multiple outbuildings, the oldest of which is the stone Georgian-style summer kitchen, built in 1790, with most of the other outbuildings being built between 1798 and 1865 of logs, rough-cut heavy timber, and locally quarried stone.
The main wing of the mansion features a red running bond brick exterior, hipped low-slope roof with multiple gables, Gothic brackets at the wide overhanging eaves, corbeling below the roofline, a central tower with a front gable roof, troifoil window, and paired arched one-over-one double-hung windows, a third floor balcony with brackets and a cast iron railing, a cast iron railing at the second floor, and a first floor entrance porch with decorative Gothic trim, brackets, paired square columns, stone floor and double entry door, and painted walls, a rusticated stone base, pilasters between the window bays and at the corners, arched windows at the third floor gables and second floor window openings, stone lintels and sills, and casement windows on the third floor of the rear facade. The house also has a rear ell, built in 1798 of flemish bond brick, which was the original Georgian-style farmhouse. The rear ell features a five-bay facade with two bays integrated into the main wing, a side gable roof with a steeper pitch than the main wing of the house, six-over-nine, four-over-four, two-over-two, and nine-over-six, decorative brackets at the eaves and decorative chimney stacks, added when the house was renovated and expanded in the 1860s, a stone block base, stone lintels and sills, and stone belt coursing between the first and second floors. The original front entrance porch/portico was replaced during a later renovation with an enclosed sun porch with massive four-over-four and two-over-two double-hung windows, a cornice with modillions and dentils, a low-slope hipped roof, and corner fluted corinthian pilasters. The rear-most ell of the house, which is two stories tall but has a much lower roofline, was built as a kitchen and service wing onto the house in the early 19th Century, and features a more rustic flemish bond brick exterior, a rear porch with an arched opening at the end wall, four-over-four and nine-over-six windows, belt coursing between the first and second floors, a stone block base, a decorative chimney added during the 1860s renovations, and stone lintels and sills on the principal facade. The house has an asymmetrical exterior, but appears picturesque, and has various layers of history very easily visible.
The house was home to General Green Clay (1757-1828) from the 1790s until his passing. Clay, a native of Virginia and early resident of Kentucky, surveyed much of the eastern and central parts of the state, and owned massive tracts of land in what is now the Kentucky Bluegrass, and was one of the wealthiest men in Kentucky during his lifetime. Green Clay owned slaves and ran a plantation out of White Hall. Upon Green Clay’s death, the estate was divided among his heirs, with his son, Cassius Marcellus Clay (1810-1903), inheriting the lands that included White Hall. Cassius Marcellus Clay, an abolitionist, freed all the slaves he inherited upon his father’s death, and helped found the town of Berea, Kentucky, donating ten acres of his lands in Madison County to abolitionist John G. Fee, whom founded Berea College in 1855. Clay was a supporter of the Republican Party in the 1850s and 1860s, being appointed as an ambassador to Russia by President Abraham Lincoln, during which time Clay’s wife, Mary Jane Warfield Clay, oversaw the renovations and expansion of the house. Clay ended up staying in Washington, DC during the outbreak of the Civil War, rallying 300 volunteers to guard the White House and US Naval Yard from potential confederate attack, as no federal troops were stationed in the city when the war broke out. Following the deployment of federal troops to guard the city, Clay departed for Russia, where he served as ambassador, securing Russia’s alliance with the union government of the United States, and was instrumental in having Russia issue an edict to the United Kingdom and France declaring Russia’s support for the union and opposition to any potential aid that the other countries would give to the Confederacy. Cassius Marcellus Clay returned to the United States in 1862, where he heavily influenced President Lincoln’s decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Clay then returned to Russia in 1863, where he remained until 1869, assisting in William H. Seward’s endeavor to purchase Alaska.
Cassius Marcellus Clay was the father of two prominent women’s rights activists, Mary Barr Clay (1839-1924) and Laura Clay (1849-1941), both of whom pushed for women’s rights to vote and act as free agents in society. Both women were prominent supporters of women’s suffrage in the state of Kentucky and the south as a whole.
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. was the birth name of world heavyweight championship boxer Muhammad Ali, whose father had been named in tribute to Clay. However, Muhammad Ali later rejected his birth name name as being a “slaveholder’s name” of someone who “held onto white supremacy” that he felt he did not identify with, heavily influenced by his involvement with the Nation of Islam, a controversial Black Nationalist organization.
The house became part of the Kentucky State Park System in 1968, and was restored with assistance from the Kentucky Mansions Preservation Foundation and Beula C. Nunn, wife of then-governor Louie B. Nunn. The house opened to the public in 1971 as a house museum. Unfortunately, despite the house’s historic significance, due to declining attendance and a decline in heritage tourism in general, the house was handed over to Eastern Kentucky University in 2019 as a cost-saving measure. However, the house remains open for tours and events.

I wonder how much robots arms are twist and turn and replacing human workers in car, food factories and many industries. Are we depending on robots for everything? Folks are losing jobs and depriving their values. Are we going to substitute with robots in the nature and do the insect and arachnid’s job too? Can you find any justice? Have a moral judgment and mercy for jobless families.

The building was commissioned to replace Sheffield's first town hall, which had opened in 1700 to a design by William Renny. This first structure stood by the parish church, on a site with little prospect for extension.
The Old Town Hall was built in 1807–8 by Charles Watson, and was designed to house not only the Town Trustees but also the Petty and Quarter Sessions. The initial building was a five-bay structure fronting Castle Street, but it was extended in 1833 and again in 1866 by William Flockton (1804-1864) of Sheffield and his partner for the project, Abbott; the most prominent feature was the new central clock tower over a new main entrance that reoriented the building to Waingate. At the same time, the building's courtrooms were linked by underground passages to the neighbouring Sheffield Police Offices.
The first Town Council was elected in 1843 and took over the lease of the Town Trustees' hall in 1866. The following year, the building was extensively renovated, with a clock tower designed by Flockton & Abbott being added.
By the 1890s, the building had again become too small, and the current Sheffield Town Hall was built further south. The Old Town Hall was again extended in 1896-7, by the renamed Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton, and became Sheffield Crown Court and Sheffield High Court. In the 1990s, these courts moved to new premises, and since at least 1997 to present, the building remains disused. In 2007, it was named by the Victorian Society as one of their top ten buildings most at-risk
