History...this is just one of a number of historic sites run by Jersey Heritage (www.jerseyheritage.org) Hamptonne House takes it's name from the family who bought the property in 1633. It was Laurens Hamptonne who proclaimed Charles II King, in the Market Place in St. Helier, in February 1649. Over the centuries this house has been transformed a number of times, as tastes changed. Originally it was a large single room open to the rafters, the first floor was added in the sixteenth century in order to allow the farmer and his family more privacy from the servants etc...... |

This is the Guggenheim Bilbao as seen from the river. I guess its the "rear" view. I don't know how I managed to get this without people in the shot as there were some people taking evening walks and jogs while I was there. The building was built by architecht Frank Gehry |

In June 2009 a surprise exhibition of art by Banksy, the Bristolian graffiti artist, was opened at the Bristol City Museum. The amazing popularity of the exhibition took the museum by surprise as nearly 400,000 people queued for up to 5 hours to see the free show which closed on 31st August.
The tower is the Wills Memorial tower of Bristol University. Built after the first world war in gothic style it is probably the biggest clock in the world without a clockface. You only know the time if you hear the bell, Great George, striking the hour!! See my view from the top See also http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/33892/ for the view from the top of the tower http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28576 and http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27362 and http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27250 and http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27492 |

The Oval Hall is inside the Palau Nacional, which, since 1929 and to the present day, has hosted and continues to play host to the celebration of many different events, such as the Festa Literariia de Santa Lucia. This oval hall, measuring 1.600 m2, with a maximum capacity for 1.200 people, is an ideal venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of congresses and the holding of receptions of all kinds, plus cultural and business events. The Museum also has other areas available, suitable for the celebration of less heavily attended events, such as the vestibule. +info: http://www.bigpict.es |
