This particular stretch of water, viewed looking east from Vaughan Way, is known as the Ornamental Canal, although it was actually created from the remains of the huge Western Dock of the London Docks, which is now mostly filled in and redeveloped. Photo taken on May 22, 2012.

Schloss Bürresheim, Sankt Johann (bei Mayen), August 2014

 

Erstmalig 1157 erwähnt ist Schloss Bürresheim gemeinsam mit Burg Eltz und der Burg Lissingen die einzige Burganlage in der Eifel, die niemals erobert oder verwüstet wurde.

 

Die heutige Anlage ist im 15. Jahrhundert aus zwei benachbarten Burgen entstanden, der sog. "Kölner Burg" (im Besitz des Erzbistums Köln) und der "Trierer Burg" (Erzbistum Trier).

 

Nach dem Ausbau der Trierer Burg durch die Familie von Breidbach ab 1659 wurde die Kölner Burg nur noch als Wirtschaftshof genutzt und verfiel schließlich. Sie ist heute nur noch als Ruine erhalten.

 

Die Trierer Burg wurde von 1659 bis 1700 zum barocken Wohnschloss aus- und umgebaut.

 

Bereits 1683 entstand an der Südwestseite des Schlosses ein französischer Terrassengarten im Stil des Barock, der in seiner heutigen Form 1952 rekonstruiert wurde.

Wapping Road School, Bradford 1877 - 2000

 

Business As Usual

 

This important and historic school building has fallen into serious disrepair because of a protracted debate over its future between the owners Sphinx Commercial Ltd, and Council planners. An outline planning application for turning the Grade II listed building into apartments was submitted in 2004, before it was sold, but that has not yet been turned into reality. Since being in planning limbo for four years it has been struck by arsonists, thieves and vandals on several occasions. As a result, the school’s slate roof has been gutted and most of its interior features destroyed. It is now on the council’s Listed Building ‘At Risk’ register.

  

A Remarkable Heritage

 

Wapping Road School, built in 1877, was a ‘Board School’ under Bradford's very own W.E. Forster's Education Act of 1870.

 

The school’s distinguished 123-year history saw it play a leading role in the development of state education. More than a century ago, the school created national and international headlines with the help of education campaigners Margaret and Rachel McMillan and their push to improve the lot of children in the state system. Their influence helped bring the country’s first school swimming pool to Wapping Road school and nearby Green Lane School in 1899.

 

Bradford was a grim place for the poor in the 19th Century, with a lot of extreme poverty. Children suffered in spite of the sacrifice by their parents. Also at this time, children were brought up from London workhouses to work in the mills. This is how the area of Wapping in Bradford got it’s name. Dirt and disease was a problem.

 

Right up to the early part of this century some children were ‘sewn up’ for the winter – wrapped in flannel which was then sewn into place and not removed until the warm weather came. Some parents thought that this was necessary because there was not enough food to keep a child warm otherwise.

As viewed from Bermondsey Wall East, on the border of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, these are buildings in Wapping. On the left is one of two sets of Georgian buildings comprising Wapping Pier Head, formerly the entrance to the London Docks, which were designed by John Rennie in 1805. As the Shady Old Lady explains, "The docks were given a 21-year monopoly of all imports of tobacco, rice, wine and brandy, except those from the East and West Indies," and the houses were built for dock officials by Daniel Alexander in 1813. In the middle of the photo is the back of the "Town of Ramsgate" pub, which is apparently the oldest pub on the River Thames. On the right is Oliver's Wharf, built by F. & H. Francis from 1869-70 for George Oliver in the Tudor Gothic style. The wharf "handled general cargo but had special facilities for tea." It was bought for redevelopment in 1972, and was the first warehouse in Wapping to be converted into housing, and, specifically, 23 "very expensive luxury flats." It has been described as "the most architecturally sophisticated warehouse" in the street. Photo taken in the early evening on October 14, 2012.

Wharf, Wapping, 1981

29g-14: wharf, gate, derelict, Tower Hamlets,

 

Although the gate was locked with two padlocks, there was a large enough gap to walk through at the right where the corrugated iron continued. I don't seem to have gone through the gate, probably because there appeared to be nothing of interest to see, but there could have been men working on this former wharf, out of sight. From what is visible in the two pictures I took, the other a wider view showing both sides of the gap, the site seems to have been empty for some time, allowing vegetation to grow.

 

This empty site was on Wapping High St or Wapping Wall and a slight rise at the opposite side of the empty site indicates the river wall. The next two pictures I took (not shown on the web site) were of Pelican Wharf (I think possibly only the sign I photographed remained) and Pelican Stairs, next to The Prospect of Whitby.

Münnerstadt in Unterfranken erscheint überschaubar. Die Kernstadt hat gut 3000 Einwohner. Keltische Siedler ackern hier schon vor Jahrtausenden. Sie lassen jede Menge Arbeitsgerät, Scherben und andere Gegenstände zurück, die das Herz der Archäologen seit langem erfreuen. Später hausen hier Thüringer, ehe die Franken denen das Laufen beibringen. Im 5. Jahrhundert bauen die Franken hier bereits eine Burg. 770 nach Christi gehen die Liegenschaften an das Kloster Fulda. Im Jahr der Kaiserkrönung Karls des Großen ist Münnerstadt der erste in ganz Ostfranken nachweisbare Gerichtsort [3. Mai 800].

Im Hochmittelalter gründen Zisterziensermönche hier das zeitweise bedeutende Kloster Maria Bildhausen. Um das Weltliche kümmern sich die Grafen von Henneberg, in der Folge wächst der Ort an den südlichen Ausläufern der Vorrhön – Kaiser Ludwig verleiht 1335 das Stadtrecht.

Es passiert dann in der Folge einiges, auch territorial. Die Fürsten spielen ja gerne Monopoly – selbst die am Südrand des Harzes wohnenden Grafen von Mansfeld mischen hier mal kurz mit. Geld ist in Münnerstadts handwerklicher Blütezeit nicht knapp und so werden die Herren Tilman Riemenschneider [sein erstes bedeutendes Werk entsteht in Münnerstadt, ein gotischer Flügelaltar] und sein Kollege Veit Stoß für die Altarmalereien engagiert.

1803 wird Münnerstadt in das Großherzogtum Würzburg eingegliedert und damit erstmals bayerisch. In der Folge verliert der Verwaltungssitz Münnerstadt seine ursprüngliche Bedeutung.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wird das mittelalterliche Stadtbild durch Fliegerbomben und Artilleriebeschuss erheblich verändert. Auch die nahe Lage zur innerdeutschen Grenze wirkt sich für die Stadt negativ aus. Die nordöstlich verlaufende thüringische Landesgrenze ist etwa 10 Kilometer Luftlinie entfernt.

Letztendlich kommen wir alle mit Münnerstadt in Berührung, zumindest indirekt. Ja, auch DU, früher oder später. Da hilft kein Sträuben! Für dich hoffe ich, dass es noch eine Ewigkeit dauern mag. Seit 2005 hat hier das Bundesausbildungszentrum des Bestattungsgewerbes seinen Sitz . . .

Abellio 8305 is seen at the massive Georgian Houses of Pier Head in Wapping. These houses stood on both sides of the entry to London Docks for shipping, and would have been occupied by the harbourmasters. The entrance has now been filled in and landscaped as gardens.

 

Abellio 8305 originally entered service with Travel London, a National Express subsidiary, in September 2004 when the contract for route 100 was taken over from what was then Stagecoach East London. Abellio, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways) took over the Travel London operation in 2009 and successfully retained the 100 this year. New buses are gradually being introduced on the route so these older Darts will move elsewhere.

Wapping High Street, Wapping. The station occupies the north end of the former Thames foot tunnel built by Marc Isambard Brunel between 1825–1843, and subsequently adapted for railway traffic. The station was originally opened as the northern terminus of the East London Railway on 7 December 1869 as Wapping and Shadwell, and the station was renamed Wapping on 10 April 1876. It became part of the London Underground's East London Line, which closed on 22 December 2007, and reopened on 27 April 2010 when it became part of the new London Overground system. During this time the station was heavily refurbished.

Unbekanntes Wappen

 

Die barocke Säule mit Wappen stand ursprünglich auf dem Gelände der Unteren Burg in Rheinbreitbach. Nach dem Abriss der Ruine wurde die Säule im September 1969 nach Schloss Bürresheim verbracht.

 

Schloss Bürresheim, Sankt Johann (bei Mayen), August 2014

 

Erstmalig 1157 erwähnt ist Schloss Bürresheim gemeinsam mit Burg Eltz und der Burg Lissingen die einzige Burganlage in der Eifel, die niemals erobert oder verwüstet wurde.

 

Die heutige Anlage ist im 15. Jahrhundert aus zwei benachbarten Burgen entstanden, der sog. "Kölner Burg" (im Besitz des Erzbistums Köln) und der "Trierer Burg" (Erzbistum Trier).

 

Nach dem Ausbau der Trierer Burg durch die Familie von Breidbach ab 1659 wurde die Kölner Burg nur noch als Wirtschaftshof genutzt und verfiel schließlich. Sie ist heute nur noch als Ruine erhalten.

 

Die Trierer Burg wurde von 1659 bis 1700 zum barocken Wohnschloss aus- und umgebaut.

 

Bereits 1683 entstand an der Südwestseite des Schlosses ein französischer Terrassengarten im Stil des Barock, der in seiner heutigen Form 1952 rekonstruiert wurde.
