Perched atop Broadway Hill, the 18th-century folly overlooks the rolling Worcestershire countryside, with its winding footpath leading through sun-dried summer grass towards the tower. As the sun sinks toward the horizon, layers of fields and woodland stretch into the hazy distance, creating a peaceful and timeless English landscape.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/kensingtonpalace/">Kensington Palace</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kensingtonpalace/55385580308/" title="The Prince of Wales Takes Part in Royal Charity Polo Cup 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55385580308_f236afb5f5_m.jpg" width="198" height="240" alt="The Prince of Wales Takes Part in Royal Charity Polo Cup 2026" /></a></p> <p>10/07/2026.

Bush. Designed by architect Harvey W. Corbett, construction ran from 1925 to 1935, with wings opening in stages; by 1929 it was described as the “most expensive building in the world”. From 1941 to 2012 it served as the iconic headquarters of the BBC World Service, after bomb damage to Broadcasting House forced the European Service to relocate during the Blitz. Following the BBC’s departure, the building was extensively refurbished and incorporated into King’s College London’s Strand Campus, now housing the King’s Business School, the Department of Informatics, student facilities, and several global research institutes</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/darlo2009/">MKDarlo (Richard)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/darlo2009/55385047803/" title="Liverpool Street"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55385047803_bc6e472cd9_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Liverpool Street" /></a></p> <p>Bishopsgate Institute is a Grade II\* listed cultural and educational centre founded in 1895 to provide a public library, hall and meeting rooms for people living and working near Bishopsgate. Designed by Charles Harrison Townsend in an Arts‑and‑Crafts/Art Nouveau style, it was funded through centuries‑old charitable endowments from the parish of St Botolph‑without‑Bishopsgate, championed by reforming rector William Rogers. Since opening, it has hosted lectures, exhibitions and community events, and today houses an important independent library with major special collections on London history, labour movements, free thought, humanism, protest and campaigning, including over 250,000 images and the Great Diary Project.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/darlo2009/">MKDarlo (Richard)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/darlo2009/55385297245/" title="Liverpool Street"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55385297245_b41570459f_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Liverpool Street" /></a></p> <p>Bishopsgate Police Station has served the City of London Police on the same Bishopsgate plot since 1866, when the first purpose‑built station was designed by Sir Horace Jones, the architect behind Tower Bridge and Smithfield Market.

It lists over 1,100 names in 11 columns, with carved marble pilasters to either side, surmounted by a segmental pediment housing the arms of the Great Eastern Railway. An inscription at the top reads: &quot;To the glory of God and in grateful memory of the / Great Eastern Railway staff who in response to the call of their / King and Country, sacrificed their lives during the Great War&quot;.<br /> <br /> The memorial was originally located in the station's booking hall. It was unveiled on 22 June 1922 by Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson and dedicated by the Bishop of Norwich. A few hours later, Wilson was shot and killed on his own doorstep in Eaton Place, Belgravia, by members of the Irish Republican Army as he returned home from unveiling the memorial.<br /> <br /> It was relocated c.1990 when the station was renovated, and moved to a site above the main station concourse, near the entrance from Liverpool Street. An inscription reading &quot;Great Eastern Railway&quot;, removed from the nearby Harwich House when it was demolished as part of the renovations, was installed above the relocated memorial. Also relocated to the wall below the large war memorial are smaller memorials to Wilson, and to Captain Charles Fryatt, an officer of the Great Eastern Railway's marine service who was executed by the Germans in 1916 after being convicted at a court martial as a franc-tireur.</p>
