Waiting for me to catch up.

Sewerby House, Bridlington dates from 1714 & has been added to & altered in C19 - it's grade I listed; the conservatory, gatehouse, courtyard archway & stable block (now a cafe) are all mid-C19 & each is grade II*. Well looked after by the local authority & are popular as a recreation destination.

St John the Evangelist, Sewerby, Bridlington, is a 1840s church by one of the greatest church architects of the 19th-century, George Gilbert Scott. In neo-Norman style, it's atypical in Scott's work & one of the last of this style, briefly fashionable at the time. Grade II* listed.

At Home Farm, Sewerby, near Bridlington, there's an Anglo-Saxon cemetery under the farmyard & grounds. Discovered when a new farmhouse was built in 1959, so excavated then & listed in 1961 as a Scheduled Monument for its protection - another smaller excavation was made in 1974.

Sad memorial in St John's Churchyard, Sewerby, Bridlington, to a recently-married couple killed in the PIA plane that crashed into a mountainside near Kathmandu, Nepal, in 1992 with the loss of all 167 on board, including 37 Britons - on the first leg of the couple's round-the-world trip.

The first event of the five-fixture 2025-26 rally season of The Siberian Husky Club of GB takes place here in Broxa Forest in the North York Moors National Park, 18-19 Oct. - & the final event returns here 28 Jan-1 Feb. No good for Border Terriers... they're in another class of their own!

It had been a bank since it was built in 1891. Now redundant as a bank, the listed building is to be converted into hospitality for the ever-popular seaside economy.

In Scarborough, St James' church was founded as a mission chapel in 1885, becoming a parish church in 1894, designed by notable architects Paley & Austin with a Arts & Crafts oak interior & a rood screen that's a WWI memorial & tribute to those civilians killed in the Scarborough Bombardment, 1916.

St Andrew's, the grade I parish church in Penrith, was rebuilt in 1720 after a fire destroyed much of the medieval structure. With panelled ceilings to Roman Doric arcades, wide aisles & theatre-like three-sided galleries & wall paintings around the altar, it's a stunningly impressive interior.

Today, appreciation of modern classicist style #architecture at the Penrith New Squares development, completed 2013, with principal architects Craig Hamilton Architects, classical architecture specialists.

Storm damage in Barhill Woods, part of Scotland's Dalbeattie Forest, where a mixed plantation of Douglas fir, Scots pine, oak, beech, & silver birch has suffered uprooting & snapping, creating a stark, dystopian landscape.

In Dalbeattie Forest, walking from Colvend, going past Barean Loch to where logging is taking place.

Scarborough c.1913 (Hulton Archive).

In the late 18th & early 19th centuries, Gatehouse of Fleet in SW Scotland was a thriving industrial town of cotton mills, shipbuilding, a brewery & its own port - known locally as 'Glasgow of the South'. It's certainly a hospitable place - a warm welcome in the shops & cafe we visited today.

In woods beside Cally Lake, Gatehouse of Fleet, the remains of Lady Anne Murray's Charity School, for girls (3-14), established circa 1820 until it's amalgamation with another school (boys) in about 1860. As well as being schooled, the children were attired & shod by a local draper & a clog maker.

On site this morning at one of the the locations for the filming of The Wickerman (1973), where these cottages (then estate offices) in Gatehouse of Fleet were used as The Green Man pub. Film study @madbasil.bsky.social

The remains of Cistercian-founded Sweetheart Abbey (1273) is a dramatic backdrop to the New Abbey Cemetery in SW Scotland. #cemeteries #graveyards

Carlingwark Loch, Castle Douglas, SW Scotland.

Early doors in Hills Wood, Dumfries; an invigorating walk amongst atmospheric scenes afforded by damp mist & abundant cobwebs.

At Southerness Point, in SW Scotland, the 1749 lighthouse served as a beacon for shipping in the Solway Firth until it was decommissioned in the 1930s. In the 1770s, a model village of coastline cottages was built for miners prospecting for coal, but the venture failed when seams were too thin.

In Wigtown, SW Scotland, this granite monument marks where, on a day in 1685, two local Covenanter women (aged 18 & 63) were tied to stakes & drowned as the rising tide of the River Bladnoch consumed them.

In Dalbeattie, a 2019 mural (in b+w) by Paisley artist Mark Worst, commemorates James (Jimmy) Paterson on the wall of his former motor business workshop. He was a lifetime member of Galloway Motorcycle Club & rode in Isle of Man TT races in the early 1950s.

Dalbeattie, known as the Granite Town of SW Scotland, was established in the 1790s as a planned town with an industry from granite in its local quarries - most buildings are built with it. Nice to see that the town centre retains a predominance of independent shops & has a busy atmosphere.

Roughfirth Road is the main thoroughfare in Kippford in Scotland.

At the famous 'Kippford Leaning Tree' that won Woodland Trust's UK Tree of the Year competition in 2021. The Hawthorn is thought to be 60-100 years old & survives harsh weather on the Solway Firth shoreline here in Scotland.

Looking for light in Dalbeattie Forest; a Scottish wooded landscape of moss-covered granite & Birch trees. The sculpture 'A Way To Look For Light' by the French artist Bruno Guiheneuf, is from when a Festival of Granite was held here in 2003. Granite from here is of high quality & exported widely.

On the Scottish Solway Firth coastline, at the film location for The Wife (2016) that starred Glen Close, Jonathan Price, Max Irons & Christian Slater, where this house masqueraded as a Connecticut beach house. #Film studies @madbasil.bsky.social

In October I’ll be running some writing workshops based on the John Atkinson Grimshaw exhibition at Scarborough art gallery. Come join me? www.ticketsource.com/whats-on/nor...

Kirkcudbright is an artists' town in SW Scotland on the river Dee estuary where scollops are famously landed. Broughton House was the Edwardian home & studio of artist EA Hornel & where he (with his sister) created a Japanese-inspired garden.

Today, a visit to #Scarborough & views of the Castle Headland & North Bay.

Terrific Heritage Open Day at #Scarborough's St Columba's, built 1922-26 to designs by renowned Late Gothic Revival #architect Temple Moore - his last commission (he died 1920). Listed grade II*, there's another #HODs open day 16 Sept @ 2-4pm.

Wrought iron grave markers made by local blacksmiths punctuate our cemeteries. These, in Brompton, Scarborough, from the 1930s have value as both art & historical artifacts.

The grade I listed parish church of St Martin, Scarborough, 1863 by Hull architect George Bodley, is described as the 'perfect High Victorian church' that 'represents an increasingly precious inheritance in art, history & worship' [National Churches Trust]. It has a fab cafe too, Beggars Belief.
