This is an exterior detail shot I took of one of the buildings in The Avenue, Spinningfields, Manchester, UK. The symmetry of the corner of the building drew my eye, and because it was an overcast day, there were no shadows to contend with.
The stairwell at the modernist De La Warr Pavilion overlooking the beach in Bexhill on Sea. By coincidence, the centre of this photo looks like a stylised ‘60’. My 60th birthday is this Saturday, 30th September 2017.
This pavilion was built in 1935. Architects: Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff.
A secluded garden, in a bombed out gothic church, in the heart of London. A favourite haunt of mine.
A modern riverside boathouse for King’s School Worcester, designed with floods and sustainability in mind. It replaces the old 1950s building and includes eco features like solar panels, natural materials, and energy-efficient design. A sharp bit of architecture on the River Severn.
Walkways under the Birmingham Central Library that were designed to link the various parts of Paradise Circus. Unfortunately, they were never built and so the walkways never really went anywhere...
We found this building by chance whilst driving in to Birmingham. A quick pull off the road followed and we explored the outside of this brilliantly lit building for almost an hour.
Heage Windmill, Heage, Derbyshire UK
A little excursion to do something a little different. Here's one from my trip today to Heage Windmill.
Who would of thought that hundreds of years ago, the science of "Airfoil Technologies" was being developed on the ground.
This is a six sail mill - an unusual thing in itself and comes complete with it's own shuttering system - the prior technology was cloth sails that had to be battened during strong winds.
An interesting place and a lovely walk amongst some of Derbyshire's wonderful rolling countryside.

Completed in 1900, Blackpool Town Hall is a commanding Edwardian Baroque building designed by architect Potts, Son & Hennings. Its prominent clock tower and decorative sandstone façade make it one of the resort town’s most iconic civic landmarks. The town hall remains the administrative centre of Blackpool Borough Council and a symbol of the town’s ambitions during its golden age of expansion.

🇫🇷 Classé Grade II, l’hôtel de ville de Blackpool a été achevé en 1900 selon les plans du cabinet d’architectes Potts, Son & Hennings. De style baroque édouardien, il se distingue par sa tour de l’horloge élancée, ses détails sculptés, et son imposante façade en grès rouge et jaune. C’est encore aujourd’hui le cœur administratif de la ville.
A textbook sweep of Neoclassical elegance, Hillside Crescent forms one of the most graceful arcs in Edinburgh’s 19th-century New Town expansion. Completed in the 1820s and designed by the architect William Henry Playfair, this curving terrace was intended as an eastern gateway to the city’s grand urban grid.
The prominent fluted columns, ironwork balconies, and harmonious proportions reflect Playfair’s mastery of the Greek Revival style. Originally a fashionable residential address for merchants and professionals, Hillside Crescent still maintains its dignified air — and a well-earned 20mph speed limit.
🇫🇷 Un exemple classique d’élégance néoclassique, Hillside Crescent dessine l’une des courbes les plus gracieuses de l’expansion de la Nouvelle Ville d’Édimbourg au XIXe siècle. Achevée dans les années 1820 par l’architecte William Henry Playfair, cette terrasse incurvée marquait à l’origine une entrée est majestueuse dans la ville.
Ses colonnes cannelées, balcons en fer forgé et proportions équilibrées illustrent parfaitement le style grec de Playfair. Quartier prisé par les bourgeois éclairés d’autrefois, Hillside Crescent conserve aujourd’hui son allure distinguée — et un prudent 20mph imposé.
