Woodend Gallery and Studios
The Woodend Gallery and Studios is an art gallery in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The building was constructed in the 1835, for the architect George Knowles. It was one of four villas, the others being Crescent House, Londesborough Lodge, and the White House. In 1870, it was purchased by the Sitwell family. The interior was later altered by George Sitwell.
In 1924, the house was purchased by Scarborough Corporation, which converted it into a natural history museum. It housed the collection donated by James Jonathan Harrison, which had previously been displayed in the town library. However, the museum did not open until 1951. The museum closed in the 1990s, with the exhibits placed in storage. Management of the building was passed to the Scarborough Museums Creative and Cultural Trust in 2005, and in 2007, the building was converted into the Creative Industries Centre, housing an art gallery and studios. The gallery hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art.
The building is constructed of stone with a string course, a cornice and a blocking course, and a hipped slate roof. There are two storeys and an attic, fronts of five bays, and a two-storey extension on the west. On the north front is a doorway with incised panelled pilasters, scroll brackets and a cornice, and the windows are sashes. The east front has a tall stair window, and on the south front is a continuous balcony on a segmental arched arcade. The building has been grade II* listed since 1953.

It is constructed in stuccoed brick, and has a slate roof. The house is in two storeys with a symmetrical entrance front of six bays. Occupying the middle two bays is a porch with four Tuscan columns and an entablature containing a triglyph.

Monkcastle, North Ayrshire
Monkcastle or Monk Castle, sometimes known as Old Monkcastle, formed a small estate in the Parish of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland, lying between Kilwinning and Dalry on the A737. The property was originally held by the Tironensian monks of Kilwinning Abbey and was probably the site of the abbot's country retreat. The 17th-century Monkcastle is a category B listed ruin, although it has been consolidated and stands next to a private house, constructed from the converted old home farm buildings. The 19th-century mansion of Monkcastle House is nearby, and is also category B listed. The castle may have been used as a dower house or retreat.
College Bank
College Bank, known locally as the Seven Sisters, is a group of seven residential tower blocks in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Built in the 1960s, the towers are a prominent feature of the town's skyline and a symbol of post-war urban regeneration.
In recent years, College Bank has faced significant challenges, including structural deterioration and safety concerns. In 2017 Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) proposed demolishing four of the towers, prompting strong opposition from residents and the formation of a campaign group. Following the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak in a nearby RBH-managed property in 2020, RBH was placed under special measures, limiting its ability to secure funding for repairs to College Bank. In 2025 an independent structural survey deemed all seven towers unsafe, leading to plans for full evacuation in the coming months and growing uncertainty over the estate's future.

Inveravon
Inveravon is sited on the east side of the River Avon in Scotland. It was long considered to be the likely site for a Roman Fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland. The fort is one of the most dubious on the wall although some excavation and geophysics has been done. Near Inveravon Tower, the bare traces of a fort were found but there is nothing that an unskilled visitor could identify. Several excavations have unearthed the site's foundations as well as a section of the Military Way. Cobbled surfaces and some stone walls were found. Also ‘expansions’ were discovered, perhaps used as signal or beacon towers.
Two temporary marching camps have been found. In the 1950s aerial photography brought these to light. News about them was circulated in the Journal of Roman Studies by J.K. St. Joseph. The sites are south of the Wall and south-east of Inveravon. In 1960, aerial photography revealed a 3rd camp. It was also south of the Wall. Additional camps at Mumrills and on either side of Grangemouth Golf Course have been identified.
Many Roman forts along the wall held garrisons of around 500 men. Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal cohort of 1000 men but probably sheltered women and children as well although the troops were not allowed to marry. There is likely too to have been large communities of civilians around the site.
