Built in 1295 by Roger Mortimer de Chirk, Chirk Castle was one of the chain of fortresses in North Wales. In 1593 the castle was bought by Sir Thomas Myddelton and remained in the family until it was transferred to the National Trust in 1981. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/chirk-castle de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirk_Castle

Blenheim Palace stands in a romantic park created by the famous landscape gardener 'Capability' Brown. It was presented by the English nation to John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, in recognition of his victory in 1704 over French and Bavarian troops. Built between 1705 and 1722 to designs by John Vanbrugh, it is a perfect example of an 18th-century princely dwelling. whc.unesco.org/en/list/425 de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim_Palace Blenheim Palace from the South Water Terraces

The Queen's Stairs are in the baroque part (built by Sir Christopher Wren) of Hampton Court Palace. The elaborate ironwork of the balustrade, here shadowed on the marble steps, was made by Huguenot ironsmith Jean Tijou in the late 17th century.

The restored Victorian gardens of Biddulph Grange have some interesting cast iron benches- HBM! Sorry about my unannounced absence (surprise visitors, holidays, family visits) - I will be more active again from now but please bear with me, I won't be able to visit all your photos.

Der ehemalige Flakbunker (1943) wurde nach dem Krieg im Inneren gesprengt, die meterdicke Außenhülle blieb intakt, weil eine Sprengung zu weitreichende Zerstörungen in der Umgebung angerichtet hätte. Anlässlich der IBA wurde der inzwischen unter Denkmalschutz stehende Bunker saniert und umgebaut und liefert nun erneuerbare Energie für die Umgebung. unternehmen.hamburger-energiewerke.de/projekte/energiebunker The interiour of the WWII air raid bunker/ flak tower was destroyed after the war but the very thick outer walls stayed intact as the detonations would have taken too much of the surroundings with it. After decades of detoriation the bunker has been renovated for the International Building Exhibition and turned into a hub for renewable energies.
