The Byker Wall, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Angleterre) Ensemble de logements Gyttorp, Norre (Suède) Ralph Erskine (1914-2005) Architecte anglais, Ralph Erskine est réputé pour ses créations postmodernes [The Byker Wall (1975) - complexe d’habitation en béton et en brique -, l’immeuble de bureaux The London Ark (1992)]. Réalisant la plus grande partie de sa carrière en Suède, il y conçoit, comme en Angleterre et au Canada, de nombreux bâtiments originaux. Motivé par une recherche de l’intégration sociale et physique des édifices avec leur environnement, cet architecte « social », fasciné par l’œuvre des grands fonctionnalistes suédois [Gunnar Asplund, Sven Markelius et Sigurd Lewerentz] offre une œuvre architecturale variée, imprégnée par l’utilitaire et l’esthétique. The Ark, 201, Talgarth Road, Londres Edifié par Ralph Erskine, l'immeuble de bureaux The Ark est caractéristique de l'architecture postmoderne. Gigantesque navire échoué à l'ouest de Londres, le bâtiment présente une articulation insolite d'espaces isolés autour d'un profond atrium.

Another gem from the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show, and a classic occupational photograph from the early 1900s. This one belongs to Candis Ibberson and is used with her kind permission. It depicts her Great Great Grandfather Ralph Holland and Great Grandfather, also Ralph, outside their butcher's shop on the corner of Thames Street, Wallsend, Newcastle Upon On Tyne. From what I have been able to tell (see archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NORTHUMBRIA/1999-0...), although Thames St no longer exists, it was parallel to Elton St West - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Elton+St+W,+Wallsend,+Tyne+And+W... Candis thinks that the date is c. 1910, but a quick look at the 1901 census shows that the younger Ralph was already 14 by then, which I think is quite close to the age he looks here. So either the image is actually earlier, or perhaps it is the younger sibling Walter, b. 1893? It's a divided back postcard, so unless it was an earlier image printed somewhat later, this would suggest a date of 1902 or later.

Stopped off on the way to work the other morning and took some hand held shots of the river and some reflections.

Destroyer Depot Ship "HMS Tyne", 11,000 tons, launched 1940, at Devonport Dockyard during the Plymouth Navy Day, 08/62. Behind is the "Roberts" Class Monitor "HMS Roberts", 7,970 tons, launched 1941, in use as an accommodation ship. Scanned photograph taken with a simple Brownie 127, hence dubious quality.
