I like walking in the countryside and coast. Like travel, in UK & abroad. Like animals and interested in animal welfare. Motto - you can if you think you can.

Pictured, this 'very unusual' WWI memorial, in concrete, placed in the grounds of a then Working Men's Club & Institute Union convalescent home by members of a Liberal Club in Wakefield. https://t.co/C4MBXbHFlk #historicengland via @historicengland

@kc_surfer @INXS You were lucky to see the band. I wish I had

Today's walk to see the sea was via High Mill & Scholes Park. Sad to see the Ivanhoe Pub/Hotel closed, but the Old Scalby Mill Inn open.

@WaltonBob Thanks for posting that I rather enjoyed it

[Robert Walton @WaltonBob]

Unusually exciting marketing for the new flats at the former Westwood school development in Scarborough. Hope they have soundproofing!

@WaltonBob I went in there for the first time to sign the Book of Condolences for Queen Elizabeth the second

Then & Now in Scarborough: St Nicholas House by architect WB Stewart in 1870 was for the banker John Woodall, but on his death it became the Town Hall, opened in 1903, with the unveiling of the Queen Victoria Memorial by sculptor Charles Bell Birch, the same day.

The Royal Hotel, Scarborough (pictured facing Harcourt Place) dates from the mid-C19 & its grade II listing cites that 'some of the first films brought to this country & made by Louis Lumiere were shown here in 1897.' Imagine that!

@WaltonBob I never thought of scaffolding like that before. It's a very good way of looking at it

[Robert Walton @WaltonBob]

An exciting shopping trip yesterday to Scarborough! I'm a fan of scaffolding, as its a sign that buildings are getting looked after. Nice then, to see so much of it at the railway station & in Westborough. A welcome distraction from shopping, indeed!

The 1884 Reform Act prompted the creation of politically-affiliated gentlemen’s clubs across the country: the Constitutional Club in Scarborough opened in 1888 to designs of architect Henry A. Cheers. It's fascade is listed, so the new hotel that's just opened is built behind.

Images from this afternoon's walk at Hutton Buscel.

[Robert Walton @WaltonBob]

In the churchyard of St Matthew's, Hutton Buscel, the memorial (near the lychgate) to a lady, Commandant to Ayton Detachment of the British Red Cross Society (Scarborough). She obtained her BEM in the 1957 New Years Honours. White roses have been placed close by, which is nice.

[Robert Walton @WaltonBob]

Festive door wreaths are THE thing in Hutton Buscel.
