Lewes in Sussex has many lovely old buildings. With my friends DSLR I can capture those fragments that I couldn't with my my usual cheap compact.

Stayed in bed all morning; feeling really rough. Eventually got up and showered, but had to lie on the bed again for a while after. We'd been due to go to Tim's Mum's this weekend, but he cancelled yesterday (he was also getting a sore throat) - so he gave his Mum a call and had a long chat, and I called my Mum too - had a nice long chat with her.
Richard came and checked out the roof today, after yesterday's weird leak into the bathroom light - he confirmed that the gully was blocked with leaves, so he cleared that out, and a roofer will come to check for holes soon.
Eventually got dressed and moved to the sofa, and stayed there for the rest of the day. The weather was very entertaining today; after a wet and windy start, it brightened up, then tipped it down again, and then the sun burst out this afternoon, making for some lovely raindrop shadow patterns on our window frames. I didn't have enough energy to bother getting my 'proper' camera out, but took several shots on my phone instead.
Tim cooked us baked potatoes for dinner; I was grateful not to have to cook. Had a relaxing evening catching up on various bits of TV.
A door, #84a to be precise. Not the most original number, and actually the second #84 I shot. The first was another of the parking meter shots, but I rushed and the shot was beyond boring. Also, the text looks out of focus (it's not, but the lines aren't as sharp as I'd like). So instead, here's number 84 the door.

On the corner of busy Williams Road and quiet Rathmines Street in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak stand the "Park Manor" flat complex.
These wonderful Streamline Moderne brown brick flats with rounded porches and balconies, horizontally styled balustrades and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular worldwide in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. "Park Manor" does this through its semi circular design around the flat's central driveway, the horizontal windows along the wide expanses of bricks and the porches and balconies that extend from the centralised trapezoid tower.
As when they were built, these spacious flats are for the well-heeled citizens of Melbourne, and they are exceptionally well maintained.

Featuring a slate roofed tower, this building on the corner of Commercial Street and Radovick Street Korumburra is one of the local landmarks as presides over one side of oen of the town's busiest intersections.
Built in the early years of the Twentith Century, this building has been built in the Federation Free Classical style of architecture. Much has changed to the facade of the building as architectural styles and retail fashions changed over the subsequent century, however the upper storey remains mostly intact. Some of the architectural elements that identify it as Federation Free Classical style are; the use of contrasting materials to create interesting texture contrasts, a pediment to conceal the roofline, an arcade of arched windows and a prominent tower with classical detailing.
Korumburra is a medium-sized dairy and farming town in country Victoria, located on the South Gippsland Highway, 120 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Surrounded by rolling green hills, the town has a population of a little over 4,000 people. Korumburra has built itself on coal mining (after the discovery of a coal seam in 1870), local forestry and dairy farming. Whilst the coal seam has been used up, farming in the area still thrives and a great deal of dairy produce is created from the area. The post office in the area opened on the 1st of September in 1884, and moved to the township on the railway survey line on the 1st of November 1889, the existing office being renamed Glentress. The steam railway connecting it with Melbourne arrived in 1891. Whilst the train line has long since operating commercially, it has found a new life as the popular tourist railway the South Gippsland Railway which operates a heritage railway service between the major country centre of Leongatha and the small market town of Nyora.
The oldest part of the present building at Astley Hall, Chorley, Lancashire, has been dated to around 1580, after Charnock Hall had been destroyed by fire and Robert Charnock came to live here. His grandson, also called Robert and nicknamed 'Captain One Eye' for his exploits during the Civil War, was the last in the Charnock male line. The Brooke family, who took over the Hall, carried out considerable alterations and extensions and by the end of the 17th century Astley Hall looked much as it does today, apart from the stucco put over the brickwork at a later date.
Many of Astley Hall's legends come from the time of the Civil War. In 1648 Oliver Cromwell is said to have spent the night here and the fourposter bed he slept in is still in the main bedroom. He even left a pair of his riding boots. His ghost has supposedly been seen at the Hall - perhaps in search of his lost boots?
Both visitors to and workers at Astley Hall have frequently been witness to ghostly manifestations. A man dressed in the clothes of a typical country gentleman of the early 20th century is seen to enter the hallway through the front door and walk up the stairs, accompanied by a young girl. At first sighting these were mistaken for visitors who had omitted to pay their entrance fee but, when pursued, both figures disappeared into thin air. This occurence has happened so often since then that the custodians have given up trying to collect their fees. The gentleman is popularly thought to be Reginald Tatton, who was the last private owner of the Hall and bequeathed it to Chorley as a museum and War Memorial in 1922.
In the splendid period kitchen at the Hall a custodian has reported seeing an apparition of a Victorian maid, standing by the fireplace, and on another occasion has entered the kitchen to find the stuffed game birds, which form part of the display, taken down from the walls and piled in the middle of the floor. The same lady has heard laughter and singing echoing from empty rooms and the rattling of windowframes when there was no wind.
In 1989 a group of Liverpool war veterans visited the Hall. Some of them came back later that year and asked to meet the female guide in Elizabethan costume who had greeted them on the stairs. No such guide had ever worked there....
Seo Teach Hiúdaí Néill i mbaile fearainn Chnoc a' Stolaire i nGaoth Dobhair. Macasamhail maith atá ann do na tithe cloiche aon seomra a tógadh i ndeireadh an naoú céad déag. Bhí díon sclátaí air a mhair go dtí tamall gairid de bhlianta ó shin.
This is Teach Hiúdaí Néill ('the house belonging to Hugh, son of Niall') which is situated in the townland of Cnoc a' Stolaire in Gaoth Dobhair, West Donegal. It's a good example of single-roomed stone houses from the latter half of the nineteenth century. It had a slate roof which was still in place up until recent years.

The ‘Fort de la Chartreuse’, which dominates the Amercœur neighborhood of Luik in Belgium, was built between 1817 and 1823 to defend the city.
The fort is built on a strategic height that dominates the valley of the Meuse, which had been occupied by a Carthusian (Ordre des Chartreux) monastery until the French Revolution. The fort was built by the Dutch, who at the time administered southern Belgium.
The fort was abandoned as a fortification by the military in 1891 and was thereafter used as a barracks. From 1914 to 1918 the Germans used it as a prison, and again from 1940 to 1944.
In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army left the site in 1988.

Some people like a motorbike
Some say "A train for me!"
Or for bonnie army lorry
They'd lay them down and dee
Such means of locomotion
Seem rather dull to us
The driver
And conductor
Of
A London omnibus
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
When you are lost in Winchester
And you don't know where you are
You'll hear my voice a-calling
"Pass further down the car!"
And very soon you'll find yourself
Inside the terminus
In a London Transport, diesel-engined
One hundred and twenty horsepower omnibus
With apologies to Flanders and Swan!

Picture:- Regal IV UMP 227 picking up passengers outside St. Johns House, Broadway in Winchester during the Friends of King Alfreds Buses running day on Monday, 06/05/2024.
The Regal IV buses were built by AEC (Associater Equipmant Company) at their plant in Southall, West London, from 1949 till 1960 for London Transport and powered by a 9.6 litre AEC A219 6 cylinder in-line 120 hp diesel engine whch provide 430 foot pounds of torque, the engine was mounted midway along the chassis in a 'lay-down' position under the floor and originally coupled to an air operated pre-select gearbox, which was later replaced with a mono control transmission fitted with overdrive on third and fourth gears
The PRV B40F coachwork was built by Park Royal Vehicles in Abbey Road, West London, measuring some 2.2 meters wide and just over nine meters in length, it was originally fitted with 40 seats, which was later reduced to 36.
UMP 227 was the prototype vehicle and was loaned to London Transport in 1950 where it operated on the 335 route from St. Albans Garage, later being transferred to the Reigate Garage, The bus was also used as a demonstrator for other bus lines before being returned to AEC in 1951 for development work resulting in a further 700 running chassis being ordered by London Transport, these were fitted with Metropolitan Cammell coachwork.
The bus was then used as a staff vehicle by AEC, changing colour several times and from 1954 it was used by AEC as a service vehicle in yellow and blue livery till it was sold for preservation in 1971 restoration was started, however the bus was damaged whilst on storage and although a full restoration was started it was not competed
In 2008 the vehicle was bought by a group of members of the London Bus Preservation Trust members who donated it to the London Bus Museum at Cobham. In 2011 the Museum moved to a purpose built site close to the Brooklands Museum near Weybridge where the restoration was completed by October2013.

Near the corner of busy Wellington Parade at 1081 Hoddle Street stand the very Art Deco "Ascot" bijou flat complex.
On the very border of East Melbourne and Richmond Hill, these wonderful Functionalist Moderne red and brown brick flats with rounded porches, porthole windows and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Functionalist Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. "Ascot" does this through its white painted portico, which runs above the windows of both floors.
Whilst once the height of fashion, and the homes of the comfortable "bright young things" of well heeled East Melbourne up until the 1960s (according to a friend that used to go to parties in one of the upper flats), time has not been so kind to "Ascot". Whilst the exterior has been well maintained, it is now a rooming house of sorts, and no longer has the prestige of some of its contemporary Functionalist Moderne apartments in the surrounding streets and cul-de-sacs.
