Gisborough Hall on the edge of the North York Moors was built by Admiral Thomas Chaloner in 1857. It was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon or possibly his younger brother William Milford Teulon in Jacobean style.

The Rose and Crown Hotel at Romaldkirk, County Durham, is a historic eighteenth-century coaching inn. Built of sandstone, it overlooks the village green and retains an atmospheric interior. Above the door is a frieze bearing the date 1733.

Once an icon of Middlesbrough, the Royal Exchange was a palatial venue for the trading of iron, the lifeblood of the town. The architect was Charles John Adams of Stockton. The inspiration came from the town palaces erected by the wealthy merchants of the Italian Renaissance.

Middlesbrough's clock and water tower (1903-4) is the only remnant of the buildings that once served the busy coal port. It provided the hydraulic pressure needed to operate the lock gates and other dock machinery.

The Grand Hotel, #Hartlepool. This Victorian behemoth was designed by James Garry of West Hartlepool in 1898. Built for G. H. Ducksbury by J. Howe & Co., it was primarily intended for 'commercial men' visiting the town on business.

In Northumberland you often see the county flag being flown in quite a lot of places. People even put flag stickers on their car. The design dates from the 7th century with origins of St Oswald’s burial. It is the oldest flag in Britain.

Industrialist Charles Mitchell purchased ‘West Jesmond’ from Richard Burdon-Sanderson II in 1869. The house had been remodelled by John Dobson and Thomas Oliver Jr. Mitchell commissioned Thomas Ralph Spence to carry out further alterations, renaming it Jesmond Towers.

PUBLICATION DAY for God is an Englishman! "Of making many books there is no end" but at least this one is done and out in the world. I don't know if it contains wisdom more precious than rubies... /1

@PaulSuttonKing If nothing comes up via image searches, a tip is to search for specific architectural features plus 'listed building'. This often brings up relavant entries in the National Heritage List. In this case, I searched for 'brick buttress' and 'quoins'.
