The World Of Love Charlie

A New Year A New Decade And A New Kylie   1990, a new year and indeed a new decade, one that would see Kylie Minogue take control over her own career, no longer would she be told what to wear, what to say or even which singles to release, she would ditch her 'girl next door' image for something a little more grown up, more sexual, the girl from Neighbours was blossoming into womanhood. The 1990s would also see Kylie lose her popularity and for a few years it looked like her career was over but in great survivor stories style in 2000 the lady was able to spin things around and made a sensational comeback.  Kylie's first single of the new decade was a cover version and also the theme tune from her film The Delinquents, Tears On My Pillow was originally released in 1958 by Little Anthony and The Imperials, the accompanying video showed Kylie in a black dress and 1950's style hair while clips of the film played both behind her and without her on screen. Released on January

 Following on from an earlier post on  Victorian Architecture  we pick things up in the 1860s. 1865 St Pancras Station/ Midland Grand Hotel / St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel In London 1865 while Midland Railway were constructing St. Pancras station they held a competition to design the station front and an adjacent 150 bedroom hotel. Midland Railway had decided to build their own terminus in London allowing better access to the capital for passengers on their extensive network across the North of England and the Midlands. The site chosen was located next to King's Cross Station, owned by rival company Great Northern Railway. Midland Railway decided their new station was to be an engineering masterpiece with architect William Henry Barlow designing a single span, iron roof that would create the largest enclosed space ever built in the world.

 'be warned the following post contains images, scenes and descriptions of unashamed pop music, it describes a period in time when music was bright, bold, sometimes tacky but above all it was fun, it may not be to everyone's taste, those who believe music has to be serious may be easily offended' Now, for those of you who are still reading this post, let's go back, back in time to the late 1980s, 1988 is were it all started for me, there is no internet, no social media and mobile phones are the size of a brick. Children and teenagers up and down the country are excited at the thrill of rushing to the shops on a Saturday morning to spend their well deserved pocket money on the latest single from their favourite pop stars, what would the cover be like? What would the B Side track be? Some records came with posters, some folded out into a poster and some were picture discs, oh the excitement! Then upon their return the delight of hearing that first crackle as the needle pl

Victorian Architecture is the collective name for the styles of construction over the 64 years of Queen Victoria's reign between 1837 and 1901. At the start of this period Georgian Architecture was the most popular form, it drew inspiration from Ancient Rome and Greece, with columns and simple detailing the main features on many buildings. More attention was given to city planning with rows of townhouses and squares transforming the shape of the busiest areas of the country however a more extravagant style was about to take hold.  Devout religious beliefs during this time saw the rise of Gothic Revival Architecture and as towns and cities grew rapidly following the industrial revolution the streets of England began to fill with wildly decorative creations many resembling little churches with towers, spires, gables, arches, high roofs and elaborate detail all featured on many of the new buildings. The Gothic Revival style was worked into all aspects of life and with civic pride at a
