Sad news that the Big Apple, Mumbles has been damaged by a car. A rare survival of a 1930s Cidatone kiosk of reinforced concrete, converted to an ice-cream kiosk. It's not the first time - the 2019 listing specified it was Ford Fiesta last time 😉 Hopefully support will be available to fully restore!

UK's weird, wonderful and largely overlooked estate pubs are quickly vanishing Architectural investigators Matthew Bristow and Emily Cole warn that post-war drinking dens have fallen out of fashion, yet symbolise an important part of the UK's history

Before the bleakness of 2025 really sets in, why don’t you treat yourself to me waffling on to the Mirror about post-war pubs www.mirror.co.uk/travel/uk-ir...

And apparently we are on to Easter...

Have been looking for similar starter packs, so great to find this one. Hoping Royal Commission Wales/Survey Team will be on here soon!

Hard to believe that this Milwaukee home was built over a century ago! It’s one of the “American System-Built Homes”, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915, as affordable kit-built housing for those “of moderate income”. Sadly, stymied by WW1
