During an architecture tour, you will get to know Kvarken from an architectural perspective, its history, as well as stories about people who lived and live along the coasts of the Gulf of Bothnia. Höga Kusten Umeå Vaasa Seinäjoki Kristinestad Pietarsaari/Jakobstad Kokkola Höga Kusten and Örnsköldsvik Örnsköldsvik, even called Ö-vik, is part of the High Coast and its fantastic nature. Naturum Höga Kusten - is designed by White Architects. Located in the shadow of the mighty Skuleberget. Naturum Höga kusten, is an attention- grabbing building inspired by the nature that surrounds it. Interesting geometric patterns and angular displacements give the building rich and varied expression. It is precisely the rough and anything but 90-degree feeling that characterizes nature on the High Coast. The High Coast is characterized by odd angles and variation in rhythm, scale and color. The glazed long side represents the ice. The inner concrete wall symbolizes the mountain. ArkNat – is a combination of architecture and nature. Architect students from all over Scandinavia were invited to create unique “art” that reminds of typical wind shelters in the nature. As result you will find nine fantastic creations, places to rest or to have a picknick, located along the 128 km long High coast Trail. Ting 1 – is residential building in Örnsköldsvik Ting 1 is designed by Gert Wingårdh, who was inspired by Bengt Lindström's art.

Champion Tel: 07810 677723 www.mjc-associates.co.uk e-mail: [email protected] Heritage Consultancy Project Management Research Services South Porch, St Nicholas Chapel, Kings Lynn Project Summary The results of a raking light scaled photographic graffiti survey of the interior of the South Porch, St Nicholas Chapel, Kings Lynn, on behalf of the Churches Conservation Trust. Location: St Ann’s Street, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 1NH OS Grid Ref: TF 61845 20467 Designation Status: St Nicholas Chapel Grade 1 listed building (National Heritage List 384263), Date first listed: 1st December 1951. Background: Although constructed on a monumental scale St Nicholas’ is technically only a Chapel of Ease for St Margaret’s church; albeit the largest Chapel of Ease in England. The chapel weas founded in 1146 by Bishop Turbus to serve the growing commercial port of Lynn. The site was substantially reconstruted in the early thirteenth century, with a further major reconstruction taking place between 1371-1419 - replacing all of the earlier structure with the exception of the south-west tower. The landmark steeple was originally constructed in the late fifteenth/early sixteenth century. However, this structure collapsed in 1741, not being rebuilt until 1861 under the direction of Gilbert Scott. The chapel interior is considered to be one of the finest examples of the perpendicular style in England. The Site: The South Porch appears part of the late fourteenth/early fifteenth century building phase that saw the reconstruction of the majority of the chapel, and was largely constructed of high quality Barnack limestone.

  • Midnight Sunshine on Sula
    Midnight Sunshine on Sula A Journey from Scotland to Scandinavia May – September 2014 Sula is a 38’ Westerly Oceanranger, built in 1990 for comfort rather than speed. A centre cockpit and in-mast furling make her easy and safe for two people to handle, with space enough for extended living aboard and civilised entertaining. Leaving from our base in the Clyde, my wife Kyla and I spent the summer of 2014 sailing her north of the Arctic Circle to the Lofoten Islands in Norway, and then down the coasts of Norway and Sweden to leave her in Denmark for the winter. Scottish Aperitif A journey from Gourock to Gremista 18 – 24 May: Greenock to Wick – two canals, three firths and a couple of whales It was an inauspicious start. We set off from Greenock’s James Watt Dock marina in sheeting rain and a blustery wind, after the damp delights of fuelling up under umbrellas to keep the downpour out of the funnel. As we broad-reached past the Cloch Lighthouse at the entrance to the Clyde, I thought of my grandfather sailing the same waters almost 100 years ago, on one of the last square-riggers trading. Clydeport only sees container ships now. A massive cruise liner dwarfed the Ocean Terminal on Saturday but had left by Sunday morning – presumably one rain-sodden day was enough for the cruisers to take in the beauties of Greenock. The conspirators: John, Ian, Bobby The southerly wind became steadily more boisterous as we motor-sailed down river, and we soon had a regular 35 knots over the deck.

  • S.S. Dicky Heritage Impact Assessment
    S.S. Dicky Archaeological Management Planning Documentation – Heritage Impact Assessment ANNEX A – SCC BOREHOLE TESTING REPORT Geotechnical report sent via email on 3 November 2014. SS Dicky Geotechnical Investigations 08/10/2014 On the 8th October 2014 Cardno Bowler and Council officers underwent geotechnical investigations in the immediate area surrounding the SS Dicky. The purpose of the investigations was to see if there was presence of clay material under the wreck. The investigations showed that there is a consistent clay bed under the sand layer at Dicky Beach (see attached borehole log sheets & Nearmap overlay showing approximate locations of the boreholes from the day of investigation). The level of the sand layer and the clay bedding layer are represented on the log sheet have been converted to AHD measurements by Council officers (see handwritten notes on the borehole log sheet). The AHD measurements seem to indicate that the clay bedding layer is runs on an approximate 5% slope towards the ocean approximately 1.7m below the sand layer. At this location the clay layer seems to have an approximate 1.5% slope heading southwards. Please be aware that whilst these logs are a reasonable representation of the strata at the site and are accurate at the time of sampling the tide has the potential to change the depth of the sand layer on a daily basis. It is reasonable, however, to assume that the AHD measurements of the clay layer will remain consistent. Also, the locations of the boreholes shown in the Nearmap overlay are indicative only and during investigations the bore holing extended to the furthest possible point towards the ocean and was completed at a full moon, dead low tide and therefore the best possible outcome.
