<p>Chetham Spa Railway Station in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.<br />
<br />
The first railway to Cheltenham was the broad-gauge Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway (C&amp;GWUR), authorised by Act of Parliament in 1836, and opened between Cheltenham and Gloucester in 1840.<br />
 <br />
In the same year, the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway (B&amp;GR) opened its line between Cheltenham and Bromsgrove, whence trains ran on mixed-gauge tracks to Gloucester. Both railways had their own stations, but the B&amp;GR station, which was then on the edge of the town and was named Lansdown after a housing development in that area, is the only one remaining. The buildings were designed by the architect Samuel Daukes and the station was opened by the B&amp;GR on 24 June 1840.<br />
<br />
The C&amp;GWUR was taken over by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1844, and the B&amp;GR by the Midland Railway in 1846. Within the town, there were three other passenger railway stations: Malvern Road, St James's and Cheltenham South and Leckhampton; there was also High Street Halt and the Racecourse Platform, open only on race days.<br />

<p>The Lincoln Knights’ Trail, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. <br />
<br />
The trail was made up of 36 sculptures across Lincoln city centre - to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Battle of Lincoln and the sealing of the Charter of the Forest. Professor David Carpenter stated that “The Battle of Lincoln, one of the most decisive in English history, meant that England would be ruled by the Angevin, not the Capetian dynasty.” <br />
<br />
Each sculpture has been sponsored by a local business and painted by a talented artist, with a hidden symbol on each. If people found each symbol and completed the quest, they received a certificate and badge, plus discount off an exclusive Battle of Lincoln children's book.<br />
<br />
After the trail, the sculptures were sold at auction in Lincoln Cathedral to raise money for The Nomad Trust. This local charity which serves the homeless community of Lincoln and provides emergency accommodation for those who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets.<br />

<p>An old stone house at 13/13A Holywell Street, Oxford, England. This house dates from the early 1600s. It is currently owned by Merton College at Oxford University. The central passageway leads to a yard at the back, and at some point the building was divided into two cottages, with number 13 being the larger one on the right and 13A, the smaller one on the left.</p>

<p>A speedster type supercar inspired by the Aston Martin DB3S and paying homage to the legendary Aston Martin DBR1 sports racing car, the winner of the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.  The aggressive styling features numerous flowing lines and muscular wheel arches, as well as a large front air intake.  Many details refer to the serial Aston Martin designs, but at the same time it is a completely unique stylistic project created from scratch.  Carbon fiber was used to make the structure, while the frame supporting the suspension was created as a result of 3D printers.  This technology allowed to significantly reduce the total weight of the car without sacrificing rigidity.  Production was limited to 22 ex. only, hence the name.<br />
