The Circus is an example of Georgian architecture in the city of Bath, Somerset, England, begun in 1754 and completed in 1768. The name comes from the Latin 'circus', which means a ring, oval or circle The Circus, was designed by the architect John Wood the Elder, although he never lived to see his plans put into effect as he died less than three months after the first stone was laid. It was left to his son, John Wood the Younger to complete the scheme to his father's design. Wood's inspiration was the Roman Colosseum, but whereas the Colosseum was designed to be seen from the outside, the Circus faces inwardly. The circus consists of 3 storey townhouses and mansard. 3 or 4 windows. Divided into 3 blocks, all of the same size but each with a different number of houses. Three classical Orders, (Greek Doric, Roman/Composite and Corinthian) are used, one above the other, in the elegant curved facades. The masonry between columns is not curved but this is not apparent. The frieze of the Doric entablature is decorated with alternating triglyphs and 525 unique pictorial emblems in the metopes, including serpents, nautical symbols, devices representing the arts and sciences, and masonic symbols. The parapet is adorned with stone acorn finials. The Circus is constructed from Bath Stone is a Limestone comprising granular fragments of calcium carbonate its warm, honey colouring gives the circus and much of Bath its distinctive appearance.

The Royal Crescent is a residential road of 30 houses, laid out in a crescent, in the city of Bath, England. Designed by the architect John Wood the Younger and built between 1767 and 1774, it is among the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in the United Kingdom and is a grade I listed building. Wood designed the great curved façade of what appears to be about 30 three storey houses with Ionic columns on a rusticated ground floor. The columns are 30 inches (76 cm) in diameter reaching 47 feet (14.3 m) and there are 114 in total, each with an entablature 5 feet (1.5 m) deep. The central house has two sets of coupled columns. Each purchaser bought a certain length of the façade, and then employed their own architect to build a house to their own specifications behind it; hence what appears to be two houses is sometimes one. This system of town planning is betrayed at the rear of the crescent: while the front is completely uniform and symmetrical, the rear is a mixture of differing roof heights, juxtapositions and fenestration. This "Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs" architecture occurs repeatedly in Bath It was originally called just The Crescent and the adjective Royal was added at the end of the 18th century after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany had lived at numbers 1 and 16. The Royal Crescent is constructed from Bath Stone is a Limestone comprising granular fragments of calcium carbonate its warm, honey colouring gives the circus and much of Bath its distinctive appearance.

Belas Knap is a neolithic long barrow, situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, England. It is in the care of English Heritage. "Belas" is possibly derived from the Latin word bellus, 'beautiful', which could describe the hill or its view. "Knap" is derived from the Old English for the top, crest, or summit of a hill. What appears to be the main entrance to the barrow, with intricate dry-stone walling and large limestone jambs and lintels is, in fact, a false one. The actual burial chambers are down the long East and West sides of the barrow and at its Southern foot. There are four burial chambers, two on opposite sides near the middle, one at the South-East angle and one at the South end. These are formed of upright stone slabs, linked by dry-stone walling and originally had corbelled roofs. This northern end measures about 26 metres wide and the barrow then tapers towards the south where it measures 17 metres in width and less than a metre in height. The whole of this trapezoid mound is around 70 metres in length.

ngel of the North is a modern sculpture designed by Antony Gormley in 1994, which is located in Gateshead, United Kingdom. As the name suggests, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, standing 66 feet (20 metres) tall, with wings measuring 178 feet (54 metres) across ? making it wider than the Statue of Liberty's height. The wings themselves are not planar, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward, which Gormley has said aims to create "a sense of embrace". It stands on a hill, on the southern edge of Low Fell overlooking the A1 road and the A167 road into Tyneside and the East Coast Main Line rail route. It has now come to be considered by some as a landmark for the North East of England and is one of the 12 official 'Icons of England'.

The breathtakingly huge main dry-dock of the Pallion Shipyard, Sunderland is one of largest structures I've experienced and a bittersweet reminder of when Sunderland was one of the largest shipbuilding towns in the world. The air of melancholy is reinforced as the main 181m x 49m dock at Pallion currently holds the historic Isle of Man Steamship Manxman in the process of being scrapped after the result of an unsuccessful campaign to restore her.

Designed by Architect Foster and Partners and Engineer Buro Happold the faceted roof of the Sage Gateshead concert hall changes appearance as it reflects the changeable british weather looking equally alluring on an overcast day or in bright sunlight. The roof of the Sage consists of 3,000 panels made from stainless steel and 250 made of glass. Each stainless steel panel has a linen finish to reduce the glare and is about four metres long and a metre wide. Each panel is solid and designed to prevent noise from heavy rain causing a distraction during concert performances.
