Another bit of WWII history, the sole remaining building left I believe from the famous Baedecker Raids. Everything around it is now redeveloped.

Back in the early 60’s there used to be a Lyon’s Corner House near there, where my mother dragged me from, to that tower, and slapped my legs, for some unremembered infraction.

...something in the landscape or urban environment that has clung on in our ever increasing modern world that shows times past.

How about traditional methods of fencing still being used on a new build - this isn't panels, but bunches of thin branches woven through upright posts (see second photo) and only finished in the past couple of weeks.

St Alkmund's, Shrewsbury, a synopsis of Shropshire history from the Middle Ages on.
It is a Medieval church with no parish yet it is still open to worshippers when its neighbours have not been for decades. The tower is fairly original while the main body of the church is Post Medieval. The main stained glass is a monumental wonderful piece of Georgian hubris. It's tracery is not stone, it is good old Shropshire ironworking from the foundries of Coalbrookdale.
More recently, it was my church when I lived in Shrewsbury.

Is wind power history?

Or the future?

Ashton windmill.

Ongoing history proving some of the old ideas might need revisiting perhaps.
