The Hepworth Wakefield

We had an overnight stop at Wakefield on the way back up from Bath so that we could go to The Hepworth Wakefield. It was built in commemoration of artist/sculptor Barbara Hepworth who was born in the town. As well as many of her works it now houses the municipal art collection started in 1923.

The building stands by the River Calder and was designed by British architect David Chipperfield.

I took a video of the weir from the main road bridge:-

River Avon and Weir, Bath

Just below Old Pulteney Bridge in Bath there is a weir in the shape of a part-ellipse:-

Knaresborough Castle and Knaresborough War Memorial both lie on a bluff above the River Nidd.

This was taken from directly beside the War Memorial:-

And this took in a wider angle in order to show the viaduct:-

Almost directly below the War Memorial there is a weir:-

Barnard Castle Interior (ii)

Between the Town Ward and Inner Ward of Barnard Castle there is a strange thing to find inside a castle’s perimeter: a valley, seen below with the modern wooden bridge across it.
