So many people will look at this photo and think:"What satellite dish? I just see brickwork!"
If you know your bonds, you'll spot the small area of garden wall bond among the Flemish

Pembridge and Kington. Part of Herefordshire's black and white villages trail. Peeved at how a Victorian colour scheme has become the orthodox! Would love to see trad finishes, colours and decorative schemes reinstated.

Church of St Mary, Marton-cum-Moxby, N. Yorkshire. 1540 rebuild of a C12th church, possibly using bits of redundant priory. Restored by Ewan Christian in 1886, who chose a strange mix of boring new windows, a receding tower and asymmetrical crowsteps.

The Devil's Arrows have such a strange immediate context. Town edge on one side, A1(M) on the other, farming, a ring of trees, a road and twee gates. 3 stones. The 4th and 5th ones were apparently toppled in the search for treasure underneath.

My first Bluesky post was of this church and it's many-buttressed tower!

What luck! This has never happened before: I found two lots of buried treasure today.

Pastiche works when there is attention to detail. Yes, some details are clear giveaways to these shopfronts not being old-old, but for 1987 this is a tremendous effort and clearly a source of pride for the people behind it. Nice to see it's been looked after too.

Same energy as these two shopfronts on streets leading into two town centres. The one on the right is in a mixed use building erected post-2020. The "shopfront" is just two big uPVC windows punched into the wall with a doorway in between. I've blotched out the name of the shop.

The Regency vibes are very strong indeed at this building in Settle.

Stradding the line between conservation area architecture and Pomo. Or a sort of Cheshire salute to Louis Sullivan but without the frills. Chester.

Church of St John the Baptist, Kirkby Hammerton, North Yorkshire. The SPAB advised on the restoration. Probably why the 11th, 13th and 1890s bits are so distinct rather than jumbled up.

Church of St James, Shipton, Shropshire. Love the three masses of the tower, nave and chancel. Also a very rare thing: a 'Gothic survival' chancel rebuild of 1589.

Shocking use of disc cutters on finely jointed stonework. Totally changing the appearance of the building for no reason. First photo shows how they stopped cutting near a frame, leaving a short run of the original joint. Last photo includes bits they hadn't buggered up yet.
