The old Carlton Works pottery, built in 1890, belonging to Wiltshaw and Robinson (latterly Calton Ware Limited) on the corner of Copeland Street and Registry Street in Stoke-on-Trent.
This former thriving potbank has now been partly converted into student accommodation for the nearby Staffordshire University and is operated under the name of Carlton Suites.
This old factory was built close to the larger Spode Works on the other side of Elenora Street, and sits close to the Civic Centre beside the A500.

I am not certain if Henrietta Lane is in Dublin 1 or Dublin 7 but I do know that Upper Dominick Street is in Dublin 7.
I suspect than most of you, even those of you who live in Dublin, have no idea where this is. Until recently it was a little used [except by a few horse owners] laneway off Henrietta Street and it is named Henrietta Lane. It is of interest because it will become an entrance to a new 380 bed Student Accommodation Complex on Upper Dominick Street which replaces the Michael H textile factory. The complex owned by UK student accommodation provider Ziggurat is expected to be completed sometime in 2019.
I have a personal interest in this development because I live at Henrietta Place which is effectively a continuation of Henrietta Lane on the other side of Henrietta Street.
I live at Henrietta Place [for more than twenty five years] and have been aware that there is an extension to Henrietta Place that carries on across Henrietta Street but until a few weeks ago I had always believed that I could see all of the laneway because I was unaware that it continued on behind buildings such as the Michael H building.
Recently the Michael H building was demolished to make way for a new Student Accommodation Complex on Upper Dominick Street. When the building was fully demolished I was surprised by the fact that I could see Henrietta Lane and soon after I discovered that the Student Complex would have a major entrance on Henrietta Lane so that it can be assessed via Bolton Street, Kings Inns Park, Henrietta Place and Bolton Street.
I cannot believe the amount of student accommodation that is currently under construction within walking distance of my apartment.
A developer applied to build student apartments at 56-64 Dominick Street, the site of the former Michael H clothing factory. The complex was described as consisting of the original four-storey building with and additional floor plus a sixth-storey penthouse, however the original building was totally demolished.
I have located an interesting document describing the project www.dublincity.ie/AnitePublicDocs/00550843.pdf
Michael H is a well known fashion label established by Michael Heather in the late 1970s.

A few weeks ago I commented as follows: " A developer has applied to build student apartments at 56-64 Dominick Street, the site of the former Michael H clothing factory. The complex will consist of the original four-storey building with and additional floor plus a sixth-storey penthouse."
I took the above to mean that elements of the original building would be retained but as the whole building has been demolished I must have misunderstood the planning application.
Aerial view of north-west Nottingham city centre.
This image captures the north-western quarter of Nottingham city centre, where historic streets meet university buildings and newer commercial developments. Running from left to right is Clarendon Street, with clusters of mid-20th-century office blocks and student accommodation. Just above the centre of the frame sits the modern curved roof of Nottingham Trent University’s Newton Building extension, easily identified by its blue-grey sweep. This area forms the core of the university’s city campus, which expanded rapidly from the 1990s onwards.
Surrounding it are many original Victorian university buildings. The round domed structure on the right-hand side is linked to the Arkwright Building, first built in the 1870s and restored in the early 2000s. The campus quad and landscaped courtyards can be clearly seen, standing out in contrast to the dense urban grid to the south. Beyond the university grounds, the open green space leading uphill marks the edge of Nottingham Castle’s historic upper slopes, with pathways and informal lawns used by students and visitors.
Several key streets radiate across the image:
Goldsmith Street and Shakespeare Street run close to the university buildings.
Talbot Street appears lower left, dominated by offices and residential blocks.
Mansfield Road slopes gently northward, curving through older brick terraces.
North Church Street and Peel Street are visible just to the right of centre.
The mix of architecture tells the city’s story: Victorian red-brick civic buildings, later 1960s–70s infill, 1990s university expansion, and contemporary student housing all woven tightly together. The urban density to the south gradually gives way to the quieter residential edge with tree-lined gardens on the right-hand side of the frame.
In one photograph, it shows a zone of transition — from the commercial core of Nottingham to its academic heart. The view highlights how Nottingham Trent University has become an integral part of the city centre, both shaping and preserving the surrounding streetscape. The combination of heritage, education, and urban redevelopment is clearly visible from above.

Brunswick Street Student Accommodation is a 6 storey development in Smithfield, Dublin. Currently under construction, this building will comprise of 350 bedrooms along with a mixture of retail and student amenities within Ground Floor Level. The building is divided into 7 blocks which are externally linked via a landscaped courtyard within Level 1 Podium.
My understanding is that the student complex will be completed by the end of August 2018.
The now demolished former Pea Factory on Brayford Wharf East, in Lincoln, Linolnshire.
The building was built sometime before 1885 and used by a Coal Merchants until it was converted into a Pea Factory in 1891 by Albert W Hall and Sons.
In 2013 plans were announced for it to be transformed into a multi-storey student accommodation. The plans included a walkway between Brayford Wharf East and High Street will be added for pedestrians and cyclists, linking the two areas more directly. However thse plans were dropped after objections.
In November 2014 the University of Lincoln annouced plans to convert the site into a six-storey learning centre. The new development is hoped to house the university’s schools of Psychology and Health & Social Care.
University of Lincoln spokesperson, Ian Richards, said: “The University of Lincoln is developing plans for a new academic building on the Wigford Yard site on Brayford Wharf East, next to our existing David Chiddick Building.
It would also create a new pedestrian route linking the High Street to Brayford Wharf East, further improving the integration of the city centre, the university campus and the Brayford waterfront.

Late 18th century. 4-storey and attic tenement with basement to left, sloped to line of street and 2-window nepus gable with apex stack to centre. Squared rubble with ashlar dressings. Dividing band between basement and ground floors. Long and short quoins. Raised margins to windows. Stone steps and platts with cast-iron railings over-arching basement area to door in corniced surround. Cast iron railings to basement area. Later segmental-arched timber dormers to attic.
Prior to the mid 18th century building on the north side of Castlehill was concentrated around the land fronting the high street. Following the draining of the Nor' Loch and the construction of the New Town from 1767, tenement blocks were built at the back of the Castlehill tofts facing new development to the North. This tenement is visible on John Ainslie's 1780 plan of Edinburgh and Alexander Kincaid's 1784 plan of Edinburgh.
In 1927 the upper part of No 1 Mound Place was joined to Lister House, at 2 Mound Place, which had been student accommodation, associated with Patrick Geddes, since 1887. Lister House became university property in 1964 and, after restoration by Ian G Lindsay and Partners, nos. 1 and 2 were opened on 10th November 1978 as Patrick Geddes Hall.
Home of architect John Tait. He died at 1 Mound Place on 3 November 1856.
Every day I am discovering a new block of student accommodation under construction.
Today I got a bit of a surprise when I saw a new street beside the 3Arena at the Point in Dublin Docklands. Another thing that surprised and disappointed me was that the three bronze bears are gone from outside the 3Arena.
I must have not being paying attention over the last year or two because when I got home and conducted some research I discovered that there was a plan for a ‘Point Village’ student accommodation complex to be operated by CRM Students, the biggest operator of student accommodation in Britain, where it has 14,000 beds. The plan involves demolishing old warehousing and building two residential blocks of up to eight storeys in height beside the Gibson Hotel. The development, which incorporates land owned by CIE, would be the biggest off-campus student residence in the country.
The student accommodation complex will benefit from a new street currently under construction between North Wall Quay and Sheriff Street. In addition a planned pedestrianised bridge linking North Wall Quay and Sir John Rogerson Quay in the south docklands would also improve accessibility.
The plan includes new traffic lights, footpaths and car and bicycle parking. As you can see from my photographs the street has been created and the traffic lights are being installed.
In 2015 Dublin City Council announced plans for the new bridge to connect the old London and North Western Railway Company station on North Wall Quay to Forbes Street on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay on the south of the river. The Victorian train station was the planned location of a proposed Dart Underground station for the north docks but the underground project had been suspended and maybe even cancelled so the bridge project has been suspended for about two years but may never go ahead.

[UPDATE] Apparently the three bears were removed in March by receivers Grant Thornton who are clearing the area for construction work. It is expected that the bears will be auctioned off.
Completed in 2004 and clad in copper, Pooley House is one of six buildings that make up Queen Mary, University of London's Westfield Student Village halls of residence in Mile End.
Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, it sits parallel to the main railway that carries the main line connecting East Anglia with Liverpool Street station, shielding the rest of the village from the noise of passing trains.
For this reason the rooms on the railway side protrude from the building, facing the canal, to protect residents from noise disturbance.
20 July 2016: "A group of people who unlawfully re-occupied the site of a planned student accommodation project in Dublin have been given 21 days to leave by a High Court judge. The same property was subject of court proceedings last year against a group, all of whom ultimately left after one was jailed for contempt of a court order requiring them vacate it."
