Walkers on a cold and windy Pendle Hill today
St. Peter’s Church, Accrington
St. Peter’s Anglican Church is one of my favourite buildings of Hyndburn. It is powerful structure that sits on a hill overlooking Accrington. It was designed in 1886-9 by Henry Ross, an Accrington architect of considerable ability, whose work I increasingly appreciate. I took these photos this morning.
Epitaphs for first world war fallen offer glimpse of unprecedented loss
Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms review – barbaric splendour and fierce vision
Packwood House, Warwickshire
One of my favourite houses of the midlands.
Brookside, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire
Brookside marks the historic beginning of the Peel industrial and political dynasty which reached a peak with Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel. The ponds and some ruined remains of ‘Parsley’ Peel’s first cotton printworks are enclosed by new woodlands and a heritage trail.
Mount Criffel from the Solway, Cumbria
One of my favourite Cumbrian views.
Wordsworth House, Cockermouth, Cumbria
Coloured limewash gives a beautifully authentic finish.
Beauty of Brutalism
Brutalism – I have always loved this type of architecture for its combination of social progressiveness, abstract form, toned down colours and weighty monumentalism. It’s sad how so many great works have been destroyed. At least Preston still has its bus station!
