Bakewell is the only market town within the Peak District National Park boundary.
Its attractive courtyards, independent shops, cafés and its scenic location on the River Wye (about thirteen miles southwest of Sheffield) make it a hugely popular destination for Peak District tourists.
Bakewell is best known for a confection made by mistake. In the 19th century, a cook at the Rutland Arms was baking a jam tart, but misunderstood the recipe, and so Bakewell Pudding was created. Now, almost every visitor to the town samples this culinary delight.

Old House Museum
A typical 16th-century yeoman's house that now houses a museum.
The museum tells the story of the house as well as the lives of people from Bakewell and this part of the Peak District.
The house was originally owned by the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, and was built as a tithe collector's dwelling.
Built in 1534, extended in 1549, reflecting the growing prosperity from tithe collecting.

Technical Note
Difficult to photograph due to the rooms being small and packed with interesting exhibits. My pics were taken to record my visit rather than as an attempt to showcase my photographic prowess.
This East (main) elevation design was part of the first Woodlands scheme submitted by John Baird in June 1846. (GUAS Ref: BUL 6/57/9)
Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was edeveloped for housing in 1993.

This is a photograph from the 5th annual Clongowes 5KM road race and fun run which was held at Clongowes Wood College, Clane, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 20th March 2016 at 11:00. The race is held annually as a fundraiser in aid of Clane Athletic Club and the Order of Malta International Camp and Lourdes fund. The weather was very good for road running. A cold dry crisp spring morning with clear skies and little wind. The race starts within the grounds of Clongowes Wood College at the Gold Course Side. The race proceeds out the golf course exit onto the Clane Kilcock road (the R407) and heads towards Kilcock. At the next junction (Borehole Cross) the course then takes a left and heads towards Prosperous village on the R408 known locally as 'the straight road'. About 1KM after the turn the course turns left in Ballynaboley and makes its way along a small boreen road which brings runners to join up again with the Clane Kilcock road. The race then runs right towards Clane and soon the runners see the famous landmark of the gates of the entrance to Clongowes Wood College. There is about a 400m straight stretch down the avenue to the finish as runners look down the straight avenue to the finish and the backdrop of the historic college buildings. Overall the course is flat and fast with a small incline over the first 2KM before the race turns off the Clane-Kilcock road.
The race is supported by Clane Athletic Club which is one of Ireland's newest athletic clubs. The club was reformed in 2012 with the principal aim of promoting athletics for all ages in the village of Clane and surrounding areas.
The grounds of the college provide a historically significant backdrop to the race. The school can trace its history back to a large estate owned by a local family in the 1400s. The estate became a school in the 1800s. While Clongowes is well known in the educational domain it is also well known for its strong history in schools rugby union. Today Clongowes Wood college is a voluntary secondary boarding school for boys.

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!

This building looks really cool. It was a present to the polish people from the Soviet Union.
The museum itself was pretty sad. I have more technology in my pockets than they had in there. Of course I'm a huge nerd, so looking at gigantic computers with 256 KB RAM was pretty fun.
Silcantar Laurevorn is a subcompact front-mid-engine grand touring roadster. No, that's not an oxymoron, not anymore, anyways. It is powered by a Silcantar V8 engine, the same one as in the Valthalion, mounted behind the front axle. However, unlike the Valthalion, its wheelbase is only about 3 times longer than the diameter of its tires. This almost square wheelbase, combined with low center of gravity, low mass, and symmetrical four-wheel steering, makes for very unique handling characteristics. Because of its high power/mass ratio, it is one of the fastest-accelerating cars in the world, accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in under four seconds (for comparison, the Bugatti Veyron, with twice as much engine, does it in 2.5s). Due to the fact that it is a convertible and lacks fenders and therefore has less-than-stellar aerodynamics, its top speed doesn't compete well with supercars. Its short wheelbase, however, makes it lighter and more rigid than the average convertible.
Laurevorn, like Valthalion, features Silcantar's signature lack of fenders (Now I have an excuse to be lazy). The seats are located just in front the rear wheels, giving the passengers enough leg room to make any NBA star comfortable for hours-long drives.
Features:
V8 engine
4 wheel drive
Symmetrical 4 wheel steering (front and rear wheels steer the same amount)
4 wheel independent double wishbone suspension
4 speed manual gearbox
(I suppose that makes it 4x4x4x4, right?)
By far the most challenging part of building Laurevorn was getting the engine and the transmission between the axles, even though symmetrical 4-wheel steering eliminates the need for a center differential. The transmission is only 8 studs long (the minimum in general and the maximum for this car), with the crankshaft running right through the middle of it. The drive shaft for the front wheels runs through the passenger's right armrest. Mostly by luck and a little bit of skill, it ended up quite elegant, though.
In addition, I have also perfected the Valthalion suspension. Laurevorn has the same low ground clearance, but the suspension is firmer and the shocks no longer get in the way of the steering linkages, which slightly decreased the tightness of Valthalion's turns.
The lines of gray bricks in the picture below are each 32 studs long (2 16-stud Technic bricks) As you can see, both the wheelbase and the width are slightly less than 32 studs.
