‘Durham’ by Mary Lister (AKA my gran!) who would have been 100 today. Only took up painting in her 80s. Takes pride of place on my wall.

@fionnregan One of THE great albums, in my humble opinion. Perfect from start to finish.

Thanks to everyone that picked up the Bunkhouse Vol I on Record Store Day ..A lot of people asking about where to get these…Luckily there are now some limited extra copies available at Select Record shops and for Shipping …here..

Perfectly sound listed building The Antrim Arms , left to rot by its owner. An application to demolish recently refused, and now a ‘tragic’ fire which will no doubt be followed by another application to demolish and replace….. maybe I’m just cynical, but this stinks!

The Antrim Arms building, in the Diamond area of Ballycastle, is currently alight after a fire started around 20:15 tonight. 📸 McAuley Multimedia

For all the focus on sustainability, re-use, retrofit, etc in the construction industry, it is absolutely pathetic that the 1998 National Glass Centre in Sunderland seemingly can’t (read won’t) be saved.

📸🧵 Sunderland photo thread! In a change to our regular programming, I popped along to Sunlun today to have a look at the new bridge (amongst other things). Let's go! 1 / Looking north over the bridge (aka Keel Crossing)

Would this be in the much underutilised Neo-Medieval style?? Located in the middle of Norwich, I couldn’t find any info about it online but it gets a thumbs up from me!

@mesnowy Expect nothing less than the title now (realistically wouldn’t rule out us losing 10 on the bounce now and nose diving!)

@robertlister73 in Europe next season? Next weekend is going to be an easy trip to OT 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Proudly celebrating the 200th anniversary of the world’s first passenger railway, in County Durham - despite the spurious claims of the Mancs and Scousers!

Great to be in Darlington today for the #Railway200 celebrations on the 200th anniversary of the modern passenger railway, with the “Locomotion” replica recreating the first day of services back in 1825 on the restored Skerne Bridge near North Road station

@AnFearBui @archiseek Thanks, I hadn’t seen that. Setting looks a lot better in that image!

Tyrone County Hall in Omagh, designed by Ostick and Williams and completed 1962. An eye catching modern civic building with some lovely little details.
Not listed: ‘The building does not meet the criteria required to merit a full survey. It is modern.’
A little dismissive!!
English
@ALister2095 Good spot! I’m not there today, this is just representative of the 2 months it takes me to process anything!!
English
Ignoring the incredible carved stonework here… I’m drawn to the masonry joints within the trefoil, quatrefoil and cinquefoil, beautiful in their own right

@MrAbercrombie Plenty of ideas being exchanged between Belfast and Glasgow back then I would imagine. These walls look to be dry as a bone (other than below some dodgy gutters!) and no sign of issues with all that concealed iron.
English
@robertlister73 Interesting stuff! Glasgow City Chambers also built with a cavity wall type construction too apparently… (1882)
English
Finally got a section of this church properly opened up, and confirmed as having two 9” brick leaves and a 6” cavity with wrought iron ties, just as described. Pretty progressive for 1872, hats off to the architect John Lanyon.
Robert Lister@robertlister73
Willowfield Church in East Belfast, built 1872 with brick elevations, but look at the original plan and section drawings and you see cavity walls?? An article at the time proclaimed ‘damp is eliminated by a six-inch space at all parts between the outer and inner walls… 1/2

@__Capstone__ What brings you to Belfast, work or leisure? Give me a shout when you are over
English
@robertlister73 architects were pretty much engineers back then (tee hee). Nice drawings. Will be in Belfast in Oct
English
@__Capstone__ I feel confident in saying you wouldn’t have seen anything as impressive as this in Athens?
English
@robertlister73 Just back from holiday - Athens - can really appriciate this

Interesting tour around the grounds at Stormont today, with the Grade A listed castle and parliament buildings… but this classical substation was what really caught the eye!
English
Grey Point Fort in Helen’s Bay. Back open at weekends, free in and you get the run of the place, including the two whopping big guns looking out over Belfast Lough
English
An entire elevation of ‘LAVERTYS PATENT 5806’ bricks, all with a single horizontal groove presumably meant as a key for mortar. Caught my eye, anyway…
North Street, Carrickfergus.

What a great poster, a tour de force of Liverpool architecture! I think I somehow missed this a year ago
Shut Out The Light Films@SOTL_Films
We're thrilled to share the poster for #LiverpoolStory, our year-in-the-life documentary portrait of the city. Premiere details coming soon... Design: Jane MacNeil
