This stable complex together with living accommodation looks as though it was once part of a much larger estate with a grand country house. According to British Listed Buildings, it dates from 1845 and is Grade II-listed. It lies just off the country lane from Casterton to Barbon and is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. At one time, it would have been within the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is now within the Ceremonial County of Cumbria.
The Collegiate is a striking, Grade II* listed building, with a facade of pink Woolton sandstone, designed in Tudor Gothic style by the architect of the city's St. George's Hall, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. The foundation stone was laid in 1840 and the Liverpool Collegiate Institution was opened by William Gladstone on 6 January 1843, originally as a fee-paying school for boys of middle-class parents and administered as three distinct organisations under a single headmaster. The Upper School became Liverpool College and relocated to Lodge Lane in 1884, whilst the Middle and Lower (or Commercial) Schools occupied the original site and would combine to form the Liverpool Collegiate School in 1908.
With its gorgeous pink granite columns, the Midland Bank Building in Cheltenham Town Centre was completed in 1880, for the Worcester City and County Bank.
The architect was W H Knight of Knight and Chatters. It is still in use as a bank, now the HSBC.

The Queen Victoria Art Gallery in Launceston holds one of the best collections of colonial art in Australia. But they also have a good range of 20th century art as well, and enjoy putting on fine exhibitions with contemporary artists.
This wonderful Victorian building was opened in 1891.
Stitched panorama of Menai Suspension Bridge linking Anglesey island with the North Wales coast spanning over the Menai strait. The bridge was built by Thomas Telford, highly accomplished and acclaimed Victorian engineer and architect and inaugurated in 1826. Nowadays it is a grade I listed building.
The actual color of this victorian is deep purple, but for some reason it popped up pink when uploaded. The symmetry is owing to a corel reflection filter.

We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. We learned about the history of the lighthouse, and got a demo of the very loud diesel powered foghorn. I took some night shots after everybody went to sleep.
I processed a paintery, a balanced, a photographic, and a realistic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The Alexandrina Block, built in 1887, is a surviving example of late 19th-century commercial architecture on College Street near Spadina Avenue in Toronto. Its decorative brickwork, stone details, and faded painted façade reflect Toronto’s Victorian streetscape and heritage character.

St Patrick's Church in the South Armagh village of Dromintee. I can find little information about this building online, although it seems to have been built in 1869, which was during a period of rapid construction of Catholic churches in rural Ulster. It occupies a prominent hilltop site and caught the strong midwinter afternoon sun particularly well here.
St Matthew’s Church in the village of Rowde (population 1,400), just outside Devizes in Wiltshire.
A Saxon Church in Rowde was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. By medieval times there was a stone church, from which the chancel, although altered, remains. A tower was built in the 15th century and still remains as the west tower of the church. Much of the church we see today dates from the 19th century. In 1833, the nave was rebuilt. It is in cut stone with slate roofs and embattled parapets. Arcades and aisles were added in 1860. In 1901 the chancel walls were raised and a new roof provided.

St Brelade Parish Hall is located in the settlement of St Aubin. It was once St Aubin Station, the "country" terminus of the Jersey Railway, from 1870 until 1885 when the line was extended to La Corbiêre. The line closed in 1936, after a fire at this location damaged the station and destroyed most of the railway's rolling stock.
The Lansdowne Monument near Cherhill is a dominating feature of the countryside between Devizes and Calne in central Wiltshire, being 38 metres high and atop a high hill. An 1845 folly, built by the 3rd Marquis of Lansdowne. It is photographed here against the western sky, 29 minutes after sunset.
The Ingleside Bakery Cafe is where every visitor to Evandale usually ends up. The food is wonderful and the charm of the shop inside and in their courtyard garden is so appealing. (We can overlook the, hopefully, temporary crosses on the floor here that mark the spots for social distancing).
We enjoyed an appetising lunch and I seized the opportunity to take a photograph with no people in it (wonderful!). In normal circumstances that is simply impossible. This bakery is usually packed with people. But I loved the way the sunlight through the arched windows highlighted the old floorboards.
The building itself was constructed in 1867 as the town's Council Chambers and Courthouse and is typically Victorian. In 1987 the building was sold and established as a bakery in 1988. And the rest as they say is history. I recommend their curried scallop pies by the way.

Zebu, formerly Ziba, was a historic tall ship. Built in Sweden in 1938, she was used as a trading vessel until the late 1960s, before circumnavigating the globe in the 1980s. She has been based in Liverpool since the 1980s. She sank in 2015, and was subsequently restored. She partially sank again in 2021 after running aground on Holyhead breakwater after slipping her anchor, and had masts and sails removed to reduce weight so the hull could be moved. On 21 May 2021 after suffering further damage due to a storm, she was declared a wreck.
Originally named Ziba, she was built as a Galleass, and was used as a Baltic trading vessel, carrying cargo such as wood, paper, and iron ore.
She was converted back to a sailing ship in the 1970s, and relocated to the UK. She was purchased by Nick Broughton and chartered to Operation Raleigh, led by Colonel Blashford-Snell,[2] named after Walter Raleigh's first expedition to America 400 years earlier.[6] She was extensively refitted,[2] and the expedition was launched by Charles, Prince of Wales from St Katharine Docks in October 1984.[6] She circumnavigated the globe between 1984 and 1988, over which time she carried nearly 500 young people,[2] and visited 41 countries.
From the late 1980s for the next 27 years, she was based in Liverpool, and owned by the Mersey Heritage Trust. She was overhauled and refitted in 2000, and became known as the 'Flagship of Liverpool'.[2] She has Brigantine rigging, with the main mast, the second and tallest of the two masts, carrying at least two sails. The foremast is square-rigged.
On 13 May 2021, she was heading from Liverpool to Bristol for conservation works when she and a six-person crew were towed into Holyhead by the RNLI, due to concern over slow progress near the Holyhead shipping lanes.[13] She anchored in Holyhead harbour but subsequently drifted, and on the afternoon of Saturday 15 May[14] she was reported to be aground.On 21 May, a storm caused further damage, and Zebu was declared a wreck.[18]

Lighthouse construction came of age in the Victorian era (1837-1901). The most famous lighthouse builders in Britain were the Stevensons of Scotland, who started building their masterpieces in the 18th century. Yes, the very family of the famous writer, Robert Louis Stevenson. There is a fascinating book about them: www.harpercollins.com.au/9780007204434/the-lighthouse-ste...
The first lighthouse tower built by convicts in 1833, fell into disrepair within 50 years, and Marine Board architect Robert Huckson, designed this one with a with new lantern room and apparatus. The new tower was painted white. Just as it appears here. The stone building in front is a little keepers cottage that actually predates the 1888 tower.
These old terrace houses were built in the late 19th century. They still function today as city apartments. The spectacular feature is their old wrought iron balustrades.
Mortimer House on Castle Road is one of many iconic Victorian Gothic buildings in Nottingham, UK designed by the acclaimed local architect Watson Fothergill. It dates to 1883. Today it houses a bar and a restaurant, one of which is named 'Fothergills' after the architect.
