Imposingly elegant 18th century buildings in Bordeaux’s old town - now taken over by on-trend cafés and boutiques.

19th century opulence on the Cap d’Antibes - still looking good two centuries later.

Hiding from the rain in Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam - home, since 1696, of Europe’s first coffee plants. Needless to say, the cafe has excellent coffee.

I’ve been painting Notre Dame for the last 15 years. So very sad.

Newcastle’s best building? Emerson Chambers (1903): a riot of Art Nouveau garlands, scrolls, towers and clock towers.

Work in progress: the totally mad Brighton Pavillon (drawn from a well-placed café at the end of Market Street). #brighton #sketchbook #archisketcher #brightonpavilion #watercolour https://t.co/3Le7mqVkt7

Sketch of London’s Marble Arch, built by John Nash in 1827.
Amazingly, the whole structure was moved in 1851 from outside Buckingham Palace (where it was a ceremonial entrance), and again in the 1960s, to its current location. Where will it end up next?… https://t.co/2tnI5zVO0o

St. Mary’s, Witney, ominous under a grey sky! The church dates from 1253 - but was substantially rebuilt by GE Street in 1864.
