Rayen Citadel is an adobe castle situated in Kerman Province south-west of the city of Rayen and is considered the biggest earthen structure of Kerman province after Bam Citadel. Rayen displays all the architectural elements of a deserted citadel. Rayen Citadel was inhabited until 150 years ago and, although believed to be between 500 and 1,000 years old, may in fact have foundations from the pre-Islamic Sassanid era. It appears extremely well preserved, considering the numerous natural disasters that have been destroying similar structures nearby.
Rayen Citadel spans 20,000 square meters, remaining a symbol of the residential fortresses during the ancient times. It covers an almost perfect square area and consists of a number of towers on its perimeter. It is surrounded by a 10 meter wall and on its southern side an artificial moat had been dug to add to the Citadel’s security. The Citadel has its main entrance located on its eastern side. After passing through this articulately designed entrance and after passing by a number of side alleys, there are four structures that in all likelihood were reserved for the wealthier inhabitants. Similar to other fortresses, it consists of the public quarter and the aristocratic zone. The essential sectors such as Zoorkhaneh, mosque, and stable can be seen in the Citadel.
According to historical records, during the reign of Yazdgerd III, while Arab attacks resulted in loss of many parts of Kerman and its vicinity, Rayen Citadel remained impenetrable. During the Zandiyeh era, in particular Nader Shah’s reign, Rayen Citadel served as a strategically important base in addition to the living quarters of local rulers Mirza Hossein Khan and his son Mohammad Ali Khan. Following the ascending of Agha Mohammad Khan, Rayen Citadel continued housing Mirza Hossein Khan’s bloodline, many of whom still live in Kerman, if not Rayen itself. Mirza Hossein Khan’s popularity amongst the locals has prompted many to refer to the structure as Mirza Hossein Khan’s Citadel.
The medieval mud-brick city is similar to the Bam Citadel which was destroyed in an earthquake in December 2003. Following the Bam earthquake and in 2004, the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization of Iran (ICHTO) announced the introduction of the Citadel as part of its main programs. Since then, the Citadel is gradually changing to a tourism destination.

This structure was designed with stone, brick, and concrete by the firm of Headlund and Watkins of Salt Lake City, Utah. It was erected in 1925 after the county shared office space for 12 years with the City of Kemmerer in the old city hall building. It features Beaux-Ats and Classical Revival embellishments with a splendid interior and a lady of justice without a blindfold.
The edifice was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The yellow/orange glow of high-pressure sodium lights illuminate a concrete parking structure on a foggy night. Lightpoles on the roof of the structure make cones of light in the fog. The silhouettes of trees and a utility pole appear in front of the structure that glows from within between the facade of vertical concrete-rectangles. In the foreground, a glass parking attendant booth with a gate arm is surrounded by signs. Text on signs reads: PARK VALET CLOSED PEDESTRIANS
The so-called pause in the Midland Main Line electrification project will delay completion of the dream to create an 18-mile heritage railway in the East Midlands. The linking of the Loughborough - Leicester North Great Central Railway with the Great Central Railway (Nottingham) north of Loughborough through to the latter’s base at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre at Ruddington remains alive, but will be delayed.
Central to the GCR reunification scheme is construction of a new 500 metre bridge to carry heritage trains over the four tracks of the Midland Line at Loughborough. A window of opportunity to provide a replacement structure to ‘Bridge the Gap’ was presented by Network Rail’s project to electrify the main lines.
The government’s announcement that work to electrify the Midland Main Line has been paused means the bridge will not be installed later this year as anticipated. However, Network Rail and the Great Central re-iterated their joint commitment to complete the work following a recent meeting. The timescale will change, but NR will still assist the heritage line in building the crucial new bridge.
A poor scan of the lone image I was able to find of Mount Hope Park after combing countless books and archives. This looks like the park in a state of dissolution. A carousel is present, but the park once had many other rides and structures, including a pier (the ruins of which are still on site). A much nicer scan of the same image is available in Simpson (2001), Bristol: Mountaup to Poppasquash.
This window is in a building now part of the Main St. Methodist Church. It was originally a private home and this window is back of house and faces Main St., Greenwood. It was beautiful from the inside. I'll have to see if I can get in there for a shot. It was the Chipley home. Must have been a prominent Greenwood family. The owners, nephews, Marvin and Bob were well known in Greenwood, bith deceased now. Marvin was bludgeoned to death in his driveway, I believe, by some guy who did work around their house sometimes. Marvin was convicted of exposing himself to a child over at Lander U. Think he got probabtion for that. Bob was a lawyer. I heard he had been disbarred.
