After a morning spent swimming at the pool in Kendal, we headed south to see some remnants of the canal that once connected Kendal with Lancaster. Here we visited the 340 metre long Hincaster Tunnel, which is in excellent condition still, and has received a red plaque from the Transport Trust. The plaque reads: "Hincaster Tunnel and Horse Path. Opened 1819. A prime example of a canal tunnel where boats were hauled through by hand whilst their horses took a purpose-built path over the hill." Both the tunnel and the path are now listed structures.

This is one of the most interesting walls I saw in Gubbio. I can't figure out what the history is here. To the left is another medieval building remnant (a photo of which is also in this set). They are both integrated into a longer wall, perhaps during the Renaissance. There is a parking lot behind it that sits about second-floor level. Did some damage occur to these old buildings, leading to everything being demolished except the front walls? Why save the walls and integrate them into a longer wall with nothing substantial behind it?. Obviously there is something still behind the doors, but what?
I found this burnt out ? maybe a church or part of a old mill. It is on Hwy 182 in Hyde County North Carolina.
That's what the weather does to VERY old sandstone. (about 1200+AD?)
Having said that, said stone wasn't exactly newly arrived when the mason cut his block from the raw...
Eroded blocks like these form part of the Haunted Tower (local name) in the perimeter wall of the cathedral in St Andrews, overlooking the cliffs between harbour and castle.
This is the small square tower (there's a round one too) built into the wall.
Pillar bases in the crypt. Wonderfully decorated in the old Romanesque style suggesting an entirely different style for the Minster in earlier times.
We have an awesome stone mason crew. They are so talented. Here is a portion of the back wall of the vanishing edge. They are doing a random stone set. The scaffolding is sitting in the trough which will have about 3 feet of water at all times for the recirculation of water pouring over the vanishing edge.
