The Clocktower in Macclesfield was built in 1871 as the administration block and part of the former Parkside Hospital (earlier known as the Macclesfield Union Workhouse and West Park Hospital). The stone chimneys are notable. It has now been converted to apartments and is listed Grade II.

Here’s some info from Wikipedia on Sears Houses:

Sears Catalog Homes were ready-to-assemble kit houses sold through Sears, Roebuck and Co. mail-order catalogs.
Time period: sold from 1908 to 1942
Scale: Sears sold 70,000+ of these homes in North America.
How they were shipped: parts were shipped primarily by rail (as kits), then local delivery to the building site followed.
What was included: kits typically included most materials needed to build the house; many models also offered the “latest conveniences” of the era (e.g., central heating, indoor plumbing, electricity).
Designs: the program offered hundreds of designs across many architectural styles.
Today: identifying/authenticating a true Sears kit home can be tricky because other kit home companies sometimes copied similar plans and details.

Houten - Fort Honswijk

Fort Honswijk, oorspronkelijk Fort Willem II geheten, is een fort van de Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie (NWH) en ligt op het Eiland van Schalkwijk bij de buurtschap Honswijk in Tull en 't Waal (gemeente Houten) aan de noordoever van de Lek.

In 1841 begon men met de bouw van een torenfort op de Noorderlekdijk ten westen van Honswijk. De toren telde drie verdiepingen met op het dak een open batterij. Hiermee werd voorkomen dat een vijand over de Lek of over de dijk in het geïnundeerde gebied naar het westen kon oprukken. In 1848 was het fort gereed.

In de jaren tachtig van de 19e eeuw werd het fort ingrijpend gewijzigd. De komst van de brisantgranaat en betere en zwaardere kanonnen maakte het bakstenen fort kwetsbaar. De bovenste verdieping die van grote afstand doelwit kon zijn, werd afgebroken en aan de oostzijde van de toren werd een contrescarpgalerij gebouwd voorzien van aanaarding. Deze renovatie werd tussen 1878 en 1881 uitgevoerd.

Het fort was in de mobilisatie tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog bezet. De bezetting liet later een Reünistenkruis Fort Honswijk 1914-1934 met een afbeelding van het fort vervaardigen. Op het fort konden zo’n 550 tot 650 man worden gehuisvest. Er stonden 34 kanonnen opgesteld op de aarden wallen. Daarnaast waren er tien mitrailleurs en veertien draagbare mortieren.

Black and white Holstein cows are typical in Vermont - world map cows are more rare. : )
