Too right its contentious, according to the oxford English dictionary the word building has 5 definitions;
1, A structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory. on a plot of land
2, The action or trade of constructing something.
3, ‘the building of motorways’
4, The creation or development of something over a period of time.
‘the building of democracy in Guatemala’
5, A flock of rooks. eg ‘a picture of her standing amongst a building of rooks’
, so I think you are going for number 2, however a ship can be built, but the end result is not a building. a good effort though, although a photo of a flock of rooks with 10 or more birds above each other would have been fine!
Also in Northampton, there is an Eleanor Cross. After his wife, Eleanor of Castile died, Edward I erected these crosses at places where her body rested overnight. Familiar places like Waltham Cross are so named because of this.
Anyway, please excuse the Heras fencing and dodgy focus (I was near a road and didn’t want to hang about). This is my Monument entry…
The three towers of Didcot A were demolished, rather spectacularly, by explosives on Sunday 27 July 2014 at 05:01am.
Sadly, subsequent to that, a large section of the boiler house at Didcot A power station collapsed on 23 February 2016 while the building was being prepared for demolition. Four men were killed in the collapse.
Didcot A was the, seriously polluting, combined coal and oil power plant - I can recall driving past and seeing the HUGE mountains of coal stock.
Didcot B is a natural gas power plant, currently active but owners, RWE, announced on 9 January 2014 that modules 5 and 6 of Didcot B will cease generation by 31 December 2023 at the latest.
Anyway … no Litchi mission.
I’d just got in the air when a cop stopped next to me. LUCKILY, he owns an MP. “A quick couple of photos, then bugger off!” were his words of advice to me. :
Whilst I wasn’t in a NFZ, and there wasn’t any reason not to fly, I decided I’d not test my case at the cop-shop @ 5:20am this morning.
A few minutes later and I’d have needed to explain how I can see my drone as it circumnavigated the towers. Quit whilst you’re ahead, without handcuffs, I say!
Was always going to be a couple of strugglers on the list within easy grasp, and with that I give give you Brayton Barff Reservoir. Popular spot to walk the dog and only a few miles away.
Its a covered reservoir, and the surrounding woodland is very popular with the locals
Not much to say about it … it’s a water tower … on the edge of South Wonston, next to the A34. Driven past it goodness knows how many times in my life.
