Capel Lligwy

Capel Lligwy (sometimes referred to as Hen Gapel Lligwy) is a ruined chapel near Rhos Lligwy in Anglesey, north Wales, dating back to the first half of the 12th century. The chapel's original purpose is unknown, but it might have been used as a memorial chapel or in connection with a local royal court, or as a chapel of ease in a large parish with a growing population. It was used for a time until the early 18th century as a private place of worship for a nearby house, then later fell into disrepair. The walls still remain, with some traces of render on them internally, but there is no roof.

The Hogshead Hoist

This gargantuan warehouse is on an unequaled heroic scale and it dominates the landscape in this part of Liverpool.

  It extends along the whole of the south front of Stanley Dock. It is 14 storeys high with 42 bays divided by seven loading bays and is said to be the largest warehouse in the world and the largest brick building in the world.

  Its construction absorbed 27 million bricks, 30,000 panes of glass and 8,000 tons of steel.

  It could accommodate 70,000 hogsheads of tobacco (each weighing 1,000 lbs).

  At high level on the west end in raised figures and letters are "MDE, 1900" and "Tobacco Warehouse." On the north (dock) side are a series of iron stairs.
