Fastolff House was built as offices in 1908 to the design of R S Cockrill in a superb Art Nouveau style. The ‘W’ on this side door probably refers to James Williment who developed this block. Sadly somebody has recently placed the number 29 across it. The building is listed Grade II.

Some nice terracotta around the doorway on this house in Marple.

The Masonite factory at Drumsna, Co. Leitrim is a major employer in the Carrick-on-Shannon area of Ireland with a staff of around 300. Established in 1997, it produces door facings.

Just in case we didn't know what it was for. A nice detail seen on High Street, Lincoln.

Former Grimsby Waterworks offices, dated 1896. Hewins and Colson, architects; Hewins and Goodhand, builders. Listed Grade II.

Snape Farm POW camp, Weston. Further information received from others who have visited this site suggests that it was occupied by Italian prisoners of war who worked on the local farms. There is a suggestion that the camp was used to accommodate displaced Poles after the war.

A windy day on the Shannon. Central to the production process at the Masonite plant at Drumsna is a 44.5 Megawatt wood-fuelled furnace which utilises 5 large electrical air fans to sustain the combustion processes and to cool the exhaust gases.

Driving through Middleport I spotted this doorway on the premises of Impact Motor Services and just had to stop and make a photograph. The Art Deco lights and the (sadly altered) door with the detailing of the faience make for a very pleasing design. I always think of Co-operative stores when I see such buildings, but this one seems just that bit better. I wonder whether the lettering/design on either side of the lower doorway could be a clue.
