Temmu ... it was built as a retirement home for a Shogun.
Here's another view of this magnificent building:
-
Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion Temple), Kyoto, Japan
Kinkakuji was built in 1393 as a retirement villa for Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga (1358-1409)
He intended to cover the exterior with gold, but only managed to coat the the ceiling of the third floor with gold leaf before his death. < - - - :hysterical:

Thanks,
Now, this unassuming looking building had a huge impact on the Industrial Revolution (and contributed to impacts on others!). Where is it, what is its function and which famous engineer is connected with it? Why would Henry Ford have benefitted from this building?

Eric the Red,
would it have anything to do with the Watt steam engine ?
GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:

Quite possibly.

So, this one has you stumped!
Time for a clue? There is a tenuous link to God's Wonderful Railway. :blink:
-
Would that be the same as the Great Way Round?
-
anything to do with fritz thyssen the german iron magnate gazillionaire?
-
Would that be the same as the Great Way Round?
They are one and the same but what is the link with the mystery place that is the subject under discussion?
anything to do with fritz thyssen the german iron magnate gazillionaire?
No, this predates him and has more to do with Britannia giving the French a good seeing to!
-
is it where the garment workers were granted shorter work days and children provided some modicum of legal protection? (although the law was never enforced...) jimmy hendrix sung about that in, 'all along the watch tower' me thinks.
-

No.
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who think that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And that is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
Because the hour is getting late
So, time for a clue. Think about the person who was the Engineer who oversaw the construction of the GWR. Where was he born and where did his drive, passion and inspiration come from?
-
woolwich dockyard where isambard made blocks for the royal navy?
-
Close but no cigar! We are not in Woolwich and it is not Isambard but a close relative, Would you care to try again?
-
i can't imagine this to be right, isambard's brother in law, benjamin hawes, soap making factory??
-
You are right, it's wrong. I know that the French have a reputation for poor hygiene but we didn't score a massive Victory over them by hurling blocks of soap! :blink:
-
Big clue, for those suffering from a mental block:
Sir Samuel Bentham had a significant part to play in this historic site. :uhm:
-
Eric the Red,
Would it have any thing to do with The Royal Arsenal

Eric the Red,

GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:
No, nor would it have anything to do with the Royal West Ham :D
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. It is not anything to do with Woolwich, if you need another clue you can find one by looking at my profile (left).
-
Hmmm ... I may have made this too tough. The world's oldest commissioned warship used 768 of the items made at this location to help her operate as a ship. A further 628 were used to help her fight.
-
Is it . The Mary Rose Ship Hall and Exhibition, Portsmouth:
-
Eric the Red,
I think it is time for another hint.
GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:
-
Is it . The Mary Rose Ship Hall and Exhibition, Portsmouth:
No, it has nothing to do with the Mary Rose but you are in the right location.
Eric the Red,
I think it is time for another hint.
What was done at this location was later repeated by a Mr. Thomas Blanchard and was the forerunner of a process used by Mr. Henry Ford.
Another clue, go back and read the previous posts, the answer is there if you can focus your reasoning powers, so go around the block one more time. :)
-
Time to bring this one to a close. The building is the historic Block Mills in Portsmouth Naval Dockyard (http://www.portsmouthdockyard.org.uk/Page%206.htm). This building was the site of the first mass production process where the production of blocks for sailing ships was mechanised with input from Marc Brunel, father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The processes introduced here were later used in other forms of mechanised production such as at the Springfield Armory.
Who wants to go next?

Temmu,
Go on you have a turn.
You post us a "Where in the world".
GR@PH;<'S :Hammys pint:
-
Temmu,
As I said at the time:
Close but no cigar! We are not in Woolwich and it is not Isambard but a close relative, Would you care to try again?
There is significant difference between Woolwich Dockyard and Portsmouth Dockyard (apart from 70 miles) in that, whilst both had sawmills, there was no block mill at Woolwich - their blocks there were supplied from Chatham. I could not have given you that although you came within a whisker of getting the right location. So, as you were the closest I agree with GR@PH;<'S - your turn next.
-
ah. so. got my ports mixeded upded.
ok. where in the world am i? careful here:

ok. these two are a models of hamburg.
yes, it is open to the public.
all of these models are part of over 3,000 ft sq model, so far, with over 36,000 feet of track, about 800 trains with 10,000 cars, so far.
yes, plans are to have it doubled by 5 years hence.
it (the model) is indeed located in continental europe.
ps, fixed the numbers to prevent googling.

well, it appears to be the tree of life. but, so far, my friend google has not revealed anything...
-
Don't waste time going down that avenue, it is not a tree!
-
well.
it is a rather large art project, appearing to be 2 stories high.
is it a temple?
or
an homage to (the game of) chess?
-
Personally I would class it as a Folly. It was built by one man over a period of 33 years. Here's another view

Hi there :)
We are in France. It is Ferdinand Cheval's lifetime building Le Palais Idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives. Cheval began the building in April 1879. He claimed that he had tripped on a stone and was inspired by its shape. He returned to the same spot the next day and started collecting stones.
For the next 33 years, during his daily mail route, Cheval carried stones from his delivery rounds and at home used them to build his Palais idéal, the Ideal Palace. First he carried the stones in his pockets, then a basket and eventually a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp.
Cheval spent the first two decades building the outer walls. The Palace is a mix of different styles with inspirations from the Bible to Hindu mythology. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement.
Ferdinand Cheval lived in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, in the Drôme département of France. He had left school at the age of 13 to become a baker's apprentice but became a postman.
-
Correct!
It makes me think that if every climate change protestor in Copenhagen were to pick up a stone and start building a similar structure, in next to no time you would have.....
.... a big pile of stones!
Where are we going next?

Hi :)
Well, it took me 2 hours to find Le Palais Idéal (the "Ideal Palace"). Sometimes it's good to have Google around :)
@GR@PH;<'S
Thank you :Hammys pint:
@Eric the Red :
It makes me think that if every climate change protestor in Copenhagen were to pick up a stone and start building a similar structure, in next to no time you would have.....
.... a big pile of stones!
I can only say that it is a really bad idea if any climate protestor pick up a single stone in Copenhagen these days. I have seen bad results of that over the last past 3 days and I'll bet, if our politicians don't come up with some very good results in the end of COP15, there will be a big drama in Copenhagen. I do hope COP15 will end in a good way!
But anyway here is a few videos from the last past days in Copenhagen:

It's not a Roman road. You were closer with the first answer.

nice one.
"The Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through 10 countries and over 2,820 km. These are points of a survey, carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, which represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped to establish the exact size and shape of the planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping."

Does this date from the British Colonial period or US Civil war period? The layout is similar to that of one if my local Palmerston forts, Fort Gilkicker (http://www.fortgilkicker.co.uk/index.htm) which, if contemporary, would place your site in the latter period.

it is named for the same man whose name also appears as one of the rocky mountains.

I would say that we are in Småland, Sweden, in the workshop of the farm owned by the family of Emil Svensson. When young Emil is naughty he gets locked in the workshop by his Father and he carves the wooden figures whilst he is in there. The only problem with this is that Emil is a character in the books of the author Astrid Lindgren so I'm not certain that the workshop actually exists, is there a theme park where Emil is an attraction?

The workshop and the family where the family lived is now a museum/Teampark. The workshop I showed on the photo is from the Astrid Lindgreen Teampark which have address in a town called Vimmerby.

This has been hanging around for too long now. Here's a clue - it's in Europe.
-
Hi,
We are in Portugal. 'The Monument to the Discoveries' is a monument that celebrates the Portuguese who took part in the Age of Discovery, or the Age of Exploration, of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is located on the estuary of the Tagus river in the Belém parish of Lisbon, Portugal, where ships departed to their often unknown destinations.
The monument consists of a 52 metre-high slab of concrete, carved into the shape of the prow of a ship. The side that faces away from the river features a carved sword stretching the full height of the monument. It was conceived by Portuguese artists, architect Cottinelli Telmo and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida as a temporary beacon of the Portuguese World Fair in 1940. The Monument to the Discoveries represents a romantic idealisation of the Portuguese past that was typical during the regime of Salazar.

You are correct, a concise description although I'm surprised that Henry the Navigator wasn't mentioned. So, where is our "Voyage of Discovery" going to drop anchor next?

Golden Horns of Gallehus.
The original horns were stolen and melted down in 1802. Unfortunately, casts made of the horns in the late 18th century were also lost. Replicas of the horns must thus rely on 17th and 18th century drawings exclusively and are accordingly fraught with uncertainty. Nevertheless, replicas of the original horns were produced and are exhibited at the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark and the Moesgaard Museum, near Aarhus, Denmark. These replicas also have a history of having been stolen and retrieved twice, in 1993 and in 2007.

Reykjanesbær
with no luck at all!
