English Buildings: Nottingham
http://englishbuildings.blogspot.com/2015/07/nottingham.html
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Yet this very eclectic 1890s building* also looks quite palatial, with its big windows and curvy Jacobean-style gables and its rich decoration, This was also conceived as the office of an institution that wanted to suggest. There’s a date on the front, 1848, but this refers to the foundation of the company, not the construction of the building. July 31, 2015 at 8:58 AM. July 31, 2015 at 9:03 AM. Per Apse: Thank you. I think the figure is Pr...
English Buildings: Nottingham
http://englishbuildings.blogspot.com/2015/08/nottingham.html
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Waterhouse in Nottingham: a postscript. As often happens, I had a number of appreciative comments – both by email and in the comments section itself – on my previous post. August 1, 2015 at 11:14 PM. To be honest I have never liked the Prudential building on High Holborn and I cant say that I am taken with the building in Nottingham. Red Terracotta as a building material I find very unattractive and harsh in its appearance. I take back nothing...
English Buildings: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
http://englishbuildings.blogspot.com/2015/08/cheltenham-gloucestershire.html
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Friday, August 7, 2015. The church of pizza. Cheltenham has some fine restaurants, but few have interiors as striking as this one, set in a redundant church of the early-19th century. Now diners look towards the east end and watch priestly chefs demonstrate the craft of dough-kneading and the artful arrangement of toppings while the oven glows in splendour where the High Altar once stood. Sacrilege? St James's Church, Cheltenham is a branch of Zizzi. Goodness knows wha...
English Buildings: Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
http://englishbuildings.blogspot.com/2015/08/bury-st-edmunds-suffolk.html
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Its interesting to see how many the ways the architect uses to diversify surfaces of otherwise plain machine-made brick. Brick diapering is easy to do - why not on these blank, blank gable walls of recently built blocks of flats, where no doubt the architect thinks they have a vaguely Georgian feel, but actually look severe and austere? Bury is a good town to explore: can we see the station, please? Hels: Well, its a m...
English Buildings: Othery, Somerset
http://englishbuildings.blogspot.com/2015/05/othery-somerset.html
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Apart from the fact that is has one of my favourite English place names, I remember Othery* in Somerset for this fine preserved Hovis sign. I’ve pointed out Hovis signs before, including the typical protruding one I photographed in Brackley. The Oxford Dictionary of British Place Names. 8224; Since I seem to have taken an etymological turn, the name is a contraction of the Latin ‘hominis vis’, the strength of man. The other cultural oddity abou...

A selection of articles on history, politics, art and literature. Monday, August 24, 2015. Caravaggio in Dublin, Triumph of the Soulless.

The Taking of Christ. Is the latest Caravaggio to be discovered. H. Now it hangs proudly, all cleaned up, spic and span, in the National Gallery. Or any mythic-science-fict...
ThinkShop: Heliotherapy in Switzerland
http://www.pauldoolan.com/2010/07/heliotherepy-in-switzerland.html
A selection of articles on history, politics, art and literature. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Here is an intriguing photo that I took at the exhibition "Magic Mountains: Switzerland as Energy Centre and Sanatorium". In the Swiss National Museum in Zürich. It shows a nurse giving a child a glass of ovalmaltine. The child and nurse are on skis, they are standing on snow and surrounded by high peaks, but what makes the photo most odd is the near nakedness of the youngster. By the early 20. Captured the almost re...

English Buildings
Meetings with remarkable buildings. Tuesday, March 27, 2018. The foolish and the wise. The use of the word ‘folly’ in my previous post. Set some readers scratching their heads. What is. A folly, exactly? That’s a good question, and one that has had many people stumped. A folly is a building without a practical purpose, some say. But what do we call a practical purpose? And is a purely ornamental role enough for us to pigeonhole it as a folly? 8217; asks Stuart Barton.* Where indeed? The people who did th...
