Happy Christmas

Mural on Hope Street, Liverpool

I photographed this mural on Hope Street whilst spending some time in Liverpool recently. Stayed in a great hotel: Hope Street Hotel. There are plenty of good places to eat in the area too: The London Carriage Works (just next door to Hope Street Hotel) and 60 Hope Street.  Lots of fantastic architecture in the area - the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ The King is a favourite of mine.
Anthony Gormley's Another Place is on permanent display in Crosby - a short drive from Liverpool and well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Look at this building!

The Beach House, Baycliff, Cumbria

I came across The Beach House - a  Walter Segal 'Green Build' on a drive to Cumbria last weekend. I read about it recently as part of the Cumbria Green Build Festival. Walter Segal was a community architect and his name is synonymous with self build housing. Can't wait for the next London Open House Event - I'd love to see inside one of the properties on Walters Way or Segal Close. See pictures below.

One example of a Walter Segal self-build which is a little closer to home for me is a self-build cabin with a living roof which is used as a classroom at Offshoots, the community permaculture project in Burnley. Worth a visit I think.
