Victorian engineering architecture.

I can't wait for the British Engineerium to re-open in Hove.

Isn't that where Clare Barratt works??

This one is the Silent Valley Overflow in the Mourne Mountains. Ireland.

I love those plug-holes! So much more imaginative than just letting it all flow over the top, as the Derwent Dam does, just up the valley from Ladybower.

Although that is interesting in itself - it's like white noise when you walk past it.

Agreed, a gorgeous sound, & a bit scary for anyone seeing it for the first time
My daughter thought the Dam was bursting

My house!

I love making windows and doors like that ! No money in it but it makes me happy

One of these days I'll get to visit the Crossness engines on a ''steaming'' open day. It's only 10 miles riverside ride downstream from here but I always manage to miss them.

How about a skew on a curve?

Every single stone must have been individually designed.

Neidpath Viaduct, constructed by the Caledonian Railway for their Peebles branch to cross the River Tweed.

I love the Plug holes - most times I've passes that have been some feet above the water. Bet they are working now !! I can spend hours looking at the various steam engines at MOSI - not just the 'trains' but the working mill engines. You don't get engineering like that often now.

That looks lovely, but a bit dodgy for any windsurfers or canoeists! Great slalom though..

Remember the Americans - after all they gave us the burger and bubblegum

Next job on my list is this window in Teddington . Its an old school hidden away , when i went there it was like the town had been built around it but in its day i guess that was the heart of the town .
The builder has added some upgrades to the new window as he obviously knows better than the Victorians that made the window over 100 years ago

Another one is this , i keep seeing it on a warm up at a TT . It looks like its been messed about with over the years and i think the glass probably went all the way to the floor ?

Anderton boat lift, transfers boats from the River Weaver to the canal and vice versa. It's in regular use and quite a sight in operation.
