Details of the Victorian wall tiles in the art gallery café, on the Headrow in Leeds
This magnificent Victorian Tiled Hall was opened in 1884 and was initially Leeds Central Library reading room. From 1888-1941 it functioned as the sculpture court for Leeds Art Gallery next door.
During 1955-2007 it became part of the Library. However, all the tiles hid behind wooden panels and bookcases.
Renovations in 2007 revealed the original fabric of the room, and the space became a now-iconic café.
Black and white was photography brings out the detailed relief on these tiles using natural light.

Regno Unito, Londra, Tower Bridge, Autunno 2022
Il Tower Bridge, il ponte simbolo di Londra fu costruito in stile gotico vittoriano nel 1886 su di un progetto di Horace Jones e Wolfe Barry, e fu terminato nel 1894. Tower Bridge è costituito da due parti mobili che, in meno di un minuto, si sollevano completamente durante il passaggio di grandi navi grazie a un sistema elettronico che nel 1976 ha sostituito il vecchio impianto idraulico. Un tempo le parti mobili si aprivano fino a 5 volte al giorno, ma oggi non vengono quasi più aperte perché le navi ormai attraccano in tutt’altra zona, più a valle, e non hanno più necessità di passare dal ponte per raggiungere le banchine. Sul Tower Bridge sorgono le due famose torri, alte 25 m, che lo caratterizzano su foto e cartoline, e al loro interno ospitano alcune mostre e un museo: The Tower Bridge Exhibition che, attraverso percorsi interattivi, espone gli ingranaggi idraulici che hanno sollevato il ponte fino al 1976.
The Tower Bridge, a symbol of London, was built in Gothic Victorian style in 1886 on a project of Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones and was completed in 1894. Tower Bridge is composed of two moving parts. During the passage of large ships, in less than a minute, these parts are raised completely with an electronic system that in 1976 replaced the old hydraulic system. Once the moving parts were opened up to 5 times a day, but today is hardly opened because the ships dock is in a completely different area, further downstream Two famous towers, 25 m tall, stand on the Tower Bridge. These towers characterize the bridge in photos and postcards and inside host some exhibits and a museum: The Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Well you may ascertain by the way I employ my strolling technique
That I am a gentleman who knows how to woo the ladies:
I have no time for discourse.
The steam engine by "Haslam Foundry & Engineering Co. Ltd. Derby England" produced electricity for the whole factory, for light, the machines, for cooling of the 12 storage rooms 5 cooling cellars, where they were able to store 180000 carcasses and 850000 tons of final products. The basic element for cooling was ammonia. The begin of the 20th century was called the British industrial revolution in Patagonia. - Former sheep meat plant in Puerto Bories - Patagonia, Chile, partially abandoned

Where is everyone?? I just cant get over the drop in traffic Iam getting on my photos all of a sudden, what is going on? Anyone else notice a drop with theirs.? It is like I have just been deserted by everyone.
We were out for a country drive on the weekend and drove through Cambridge (Ontario). The streets are filled with beautiful Victorian houses as well as splendid public buildings.
I do believe we must have had some of the residents quite concerned because while I was walking up various streets taking pictures of the houses, Norm was following me slowly in what they seemed to think was the getaway car.
I'm a grandmother for goodness' sake.....how suspicious could I possibly be?!?! :-D :-D

The same sunset that people will have viewed for the past 147 years since Clevedon Pier opened in 1869.
Many Victorian gardens had tunnels for ladies to exercise without exposing their delicate skin to sunlight. Called the 'Nut Tunnel' at Hindringham Hall, Norfolk as it is made by hazels.
The elegant Victorian curves of the locomotive compliment the mass of the Purbeck hills and the engine's billowing steam trail, hanging in the cold winter air.
No.563 heads away from Corfe Castle Station during the Swanage Railway's 'Winter Warmup' event on a freezing 4th January 2026.
No 563 was built at Nine Elms Works in London by the London and South Western Railway in 1893. She spent the last years of Queen Victoria's reign working on the route the T3 class were designed for: the undulating Salisbury to Exeter route, as well as the Bournemouth mainline.
By the 1930s only 3 of the original 20 locomotives survived, having being displaced by the extensive electrification introduced by the Southern Railway. This locomotive was the last, being withdrawn at the end of the second world war.
After waiting for cutter's torch for 2 years, it was selected to represent the LSWR at the centenary of Waterloo station in 1948. Cosmetically restored, the locomotive was exhibited then stored before eventually becoming a static exhibit at the National railway museum.
One of a handful of Victorian locomotives to operate in the 21st century, it was returned to steam in 2023.

The land for Roath Park was donated to the city in 1887, primarily by the Marquis of Bute.. The park was officially opened to the public in 1894. Work initially focused on creating the lake from an area of marshland. In 1915 a lighthouse was constructed in the lake containing a scale model of the 'Terra Nova' ship to commemorate Captain Scott's ill-fated voyage to the Antarctic from Cardiff in 1910. The park's atmosphere today still retains the Victorian elegance and its status as a Conservation Area ensures these qualities will be conserved.
