    The Shrine of The Saint Margeret Clitherow - York, United Kingdom
    The secret shrine of The Saint Margaret Clitherow (12.04.2008 12:32)
    I love to stumble upon places by chance and the Shrine of The Saint Margaret Clitherow is an example of one such place that I recently discovered.

This site at ground level is now occupied by three different large buildings, two of which form the York Castle Museum and [more...]

    The Crystal Peaks Shopping Complex (30.03.2008 21:25)
    There was trend during the early and middle part of the 1970's when people that lived in the large cities of Britain decided that they wanted a more rural existence, and in response to this trend several out of town suburbs began to be built. My home town of Sheffield was no exception to this trend. In fact it followed the text book pattern almost to the letter. In the early seventies the [more...]
