As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. bit.ly/yTBsjY

Replying to @plusnethelp
@plusnethelp this morning so far; cut off twice, 20 minutes on hold, finally spoke to someone about my house move, asked him to make sure he had my number to call back if I get cut off, he tries to put me on hold, cuts me off, doesn't call back. Superb. Please sort it out.

Barnstaple #Devon Bridge over the River Taw probably built originally in C13 of masonry. Sixteen stone arches, thirteen of them medieval, three replaced 1589. Widened three times but on underside of arches medieval width of 10 ft can still be seen.

Often associated with the practical & and not the beautiful, #concrete can yield diverse architectural results. The common construction material can be molded into nearly any shape, allowing structures to exist in both curvilinear and stark geometric forms ow.ly/1sqg50uqXG5

The advent of 3D modelling (automated photogrammetry) and use of our specialist viewer has transformed our view of Clifton vaults. This overview will show just how. billharveyassociates.com/bom…
