HWW. Shrewsbury National School
Owned by Shropshire Council, the Victorian building was built as a school and dates to the 1860s, with major additions added in 1896. The charitable Abbey School was founded in 1708, moving to the purpose built premises in 1896 and becoming Shrewsbury National School in 1898. During the twentieth century it operated as an elementary school until 1957, after which time it was used by the Shrewsbury College of Art. It became redundant in 1980. In 1985 the English Bridge Workshop was founded. The EBW then continued the building's educational and artistic role.
Elementary schools were the first schools in England and Wales intended to give a basic education to the children of working class families. At the start of the 19th century, the only schooling available to these young people was run by private concerns or by charities, and was often of a very poor standard.

HWW Kimberley Northern Cape South Africa 2nd June 1982
It's difficult to capture the depth of the "Big Hole" in Kimberley but the height of the buildings give an idea of the scale. It's a real vertical wall of rock.
Kimberlite, an ultramafic igneous rock and a rare variant of peridotite, is most commonly known to be the main host matrix for diamonds. It is named after Kimberley where diamonds were mined from this hole.
Kimberlite occurs in the Earth's crust in vertical structures known as kimberlite pipes, as well as igneous dykes and can also occur as horizontal sills. The consensus on kimberlites is that they are formed deep within the mantle, hence at high temperatures and pressures.
HWW to everyone. Have a great day!

Wednesday Wall
HWW und eine angenehme Restwoche wünsch ich euch ! Viele Grüße und Good Vibes aus Frankfurt ! Karneval auf den Kanaren ist etwas anders als bei uns. Höhepunkt ist ein großes ganztägiges Fest, das in jeder Ortschaft separat gefeiert wird; es gibt keinen Aschermittwoch, an dem alles vorbei ist. Das Ende der Kampagne zieht von Ort zu Ort, von Gemeinde zu Gemeinde. Höhepunkt ist am Abend das Verbrennen einer riesigen bunten, aus Pappmaschee gefertigten, Sardine ! Danach herrscht ‚Ausnahmezustand‘ und es wird gefeiert bis in den frühen ( Sonntag- ) morgen.
HWW
New and Happy Wednesday to all of my dear Friends and Visitors.
HWW - Stadtmauer (2 PiPs)
Die Fischerstadt ist ein Ortsteil von Minden. Im Mittelalter siedelten sich hier Fischer und Schiffmüller direkt an der Weser an. Die Stadtmauer vor den Häusern wurde später zu Verteidigungszwecken gebaut. Sie hält auch das Hochwasser der Weser ab, aber nur bis zu einer bestimmten Höhe.
Direkt am Ufer führt der 500 km lange Weserradweg vorbei, einer der beliebtesten Radfernwege Deutschlands.

These shoring timbers were installed in 1968 following a partial collapse of the walls in the cutting, the collapsed section can be identified by the different coloured blocks to the left of the cutting.
This image was taken in 2008 thirty odd years after the 1970 style housing blocks were built, and shows the Albert Street bridge in the distance.
Boats continued to sail beneath the timbers, which gave a minimum clearance of 8 feet
