Vehicles can be seen on the M6 motorway, the noise from which makes this canal for several miles a noisy waterway to navigate, though one notices it far more when walking. text/html 2009-11-10T20:27:40GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1837 Philip Halling 52.029061 -2.388101 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576338 Eastnor Castle was built in 1810 in a mock Norman-style for the 1st Earl Somers. text/html 2009-11-10T20:26:57GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1324 Tony Atkin 50.323272 -3.836142 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576337 Looking east across this grid square. text/html 2009-11-10T20:26:48GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7629 Stanley Howe 57.403276 -2.803942 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576336 South along A97. text/html 2009-11-10T20:26:34GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/2798 Nigel Cox 51.637110 -0.779522 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576335 As with many schools these days this one, in Mill End Road, has had a chequered history in terms of the age group that it has served, according to the prevailing dictats of both national and local government, and the changing demographics of the local population. Consequently it has had several names thus: 1936: Mill End Secondary School (11 to 16 year old children) 1973: Sands County Middle School (8 to 12 year old children) 1998: Sands Junior School (7 to 11 year old children) 1999: Millbrook Combined School (3 to 11 year old children) It is interesting to compare the Ordnance Survey's current 1:10,000 scale map with its equivalent from 1938 showing the school as originally built. Although the basic pattern is still the same, with a few extensions added, evidently the school originally had a central segment, as long as this frontage, which has now been broken in two to create a central courtyard. The whole building is topped by the attractive central clock tower which forms the School badge. As ever it is good to report that the clock was telling the right time.

The building is undergoing extensive renovation - which actually means all but the facade has been demolished and is being rebuilt - to become the headquarters of Aberdeen City Council. It was originally built between 1837 and 1844 and was designed by local architect Archibald Simpson. text/html 2009-11-10T20:25:56GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/22976 Rod Allday 50.264129 -5.062684 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576333 Beside the level crossing at Truro station. text/html 2009-11-10T20:25:21GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1837 Philip Halling 52.029336 -2.386355 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1576332 View from Eastnor Castle across the lake and parkland towards the Malvern Hills.
