Cool Uk Property images
A few nice uk property images I found:
Off to Methwold Old Vicarage (all because of a visit to Peake’s House)
Image by Unhindered by Talent
A mentioned earlier, our friend Jane stayed in Peake’s House, a wonderful old Landmark Trust property here in Colchester. This photo is Jane, Sub-Evil Boy and WeatherGirl as they walk towards Peake’s House (the half-timbered building on the left) in the evening.
We were so inspired by that great house, and the wonderful collection of properties being preserved (and made available) by the Landmark Trust that we promptly booked a stay in one during Sub-Evil Boy’s term break. So soon we’re off to Methwold Old Vicarage, which should be really fun. Between that and some looming deadlines, though, not much on-line time for a week or so. Just thought I’d warn you.
Back soon, though!
Lan Wei of Manchester

"Lan wei" is a Chinese term equivalent to Brazil’s "squelette" – an abandoned, part-constructed building structure.
The Chinese Arts Centre in the Northern Quarter has an exhibition on at the moment featuring photos of lan wei, called "Lan Wei / Decaying End", by anothermountainman (Stanley Wong).
The site of the exhibition is appropriate: Ancoats has a number of lan wei itself – four of them from one property developer, currently under arrest for the death of a construction worker.
