"I hadn't even seen the inside just like you, but I just felt like one person, DJ equipment, had to fit in there somehow. We knew it could be Pandora's box in there."

The Page & Overton's Brewery started in a small red brick building on Overton's Yard and slowly expanded into buildings on the other side of the yard, dominating the area for decades.

MoonFest draws inspiration from John Draper, who made history in 1840 by capturing one of the earliest photographs of the moon, bridging the gap between Earth and our celestial neighbor.

The passageway is hidden in the last place most authorities would look for a person-within a set of drawers near the bedroom, on the second floor. There, a two by two-foot hatch opens onto a 15-foot shaft with a makeshift ladder extending towards the basement pantry.

As the dust settles on the demolition of the Murray house in Bohermeen, near Navan, Co Meath, it is hard to find someone in the town who has not seen the pictures of the flattened property or heard the story of the long-running planning debacle.

The mausoleum was designed by his wife in the shape of the tent they had spent so much time in while travelling around the Middle East, featuring a ladder at the back and a glass window to peer into the tomb itself.

Similar to four others unearthed nearby earlier this month, it is sitting upright at the bottom of a one-metre-wide pit. The skeleton's hands are resting in its lap. Like the others, its back is against the eastern wall, its face directed westward.

A remote Donegal parish and its Gaeilgeoir priest became near household names last year when the nation awoke on Easter Monday to learn St Mary's Church in Derrybeg had burnt to the ground overnight.

The whole reason we're here is we know something is impossible, but we also know it's inevitable. He pulled off a trick where a member of the audience mixed up a Rubik's Cube, then Blake presented a second cube with identically arranged colors, demonstrating the paradox of magic where the impossible becomes inevitable through skillful illusion.

The guided one-mile journey takes participants past buildings steeped in decades of dramatic events and reported hauntings while at the same dropping tons of fascinating history of San Jose. The experience began under the prominent arch at Paseo de San Carlos and wound through areas tied to everything from Wild West saloons and brothels to brewery tragedies to sorrows at San Jose State University.

It is with heavy hearts we would like to share with you personally that this season at Coney Beach will be our last. It's the end of an era. For over 100 years we and other showmen and their families have lived and worked in Porthcawl helping to make it a busy seaside destination bringing fun, laughter, and fond memories to so many.

I was actually shocked. Mori said it felt like a total violation of my parents. The niche is sacred. On Nov. 17, 2025, the same day the Mori family reported the missing items from Highland Memory Gardens in North York, Halton police held a news conference detailing a string of thefts at eight cemeteries across the Toronto, Halton and Niagara region.

While most people think of the New York subway as a way to get somewhere, I happen to think of it as one of the greatest art museums in the world - and it only costs $3 to get in. As long as you don't go through the turnstiles, you can go from station to station all day long marveling at the wall art.

The alley likely came into existence when the first Leadenhall Market, as a market for herbs, opened, with a long passage leading from the market to Gracechurch Street. The alley used to be longer and straighter, but the eastern half was cut off when a building was constructed on the site. That building was demolished in 2000, and archaeologists researched it for Roman remains in 2002.

I've interviewed a lot of booze proprietors and given that many of the bars in this town are in old buildings, at some point I usually inquire if the place is haunted. But this is the first time that anyone has brought it up without me asking. In fact, Billie did so only 3 minutes and 24 seconds into our chat.

For two centuries, from the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s, free and enslaved New Yorkers of African descent were buried at the Harlem African Burial Ground. Over time, the history of this site was lost - erased by the subsequent redevelopment of the land. Today, the Harlem African Burial Ground project is a community-driven vision to honor and memorialize this historic site with a new outdoor memorial and indoor cultural education center, while also addressing affordable housing and jobs needs in the East Harlem community.

This part of London sits just outside the historic City walls, so it attracted traders who wanted to avoid the strict rules binding City merchants. The land was later acquired by Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Cleveland, who developed it, hence the main road being named Wentworth Street. If you're wondering about Ann's Place, that was probably after his wife, Anne Hopton.

While working on a graduate school paper on the mystical powers of coral, gemologist Anna Rasche ventured deep into the archives of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum's library. Coral is the most powerful material to ward off the evil eye-a belief Italians have held since ancient times. Romans often gifted newborns coral amulets to prevent sickness and bad luck.

The first time Jake and I crossed paths was at a circus festival in Bathurst. It was 2010 and I was in my last year of high school. Aspiring circus troupes from across the country had gathered to showcase their acts. It felt like all eyes were on Jake's group from Adelaide, they were incredibly talented. I definitely remember him I even took one of his workshops but didn't think much more of it.

Picture this: you're knee-deep in renovation dust, crowbar in hand, when something unexpected tumbles from behind century-old plaster. A yellowed envelope? A strange metal box? That moment when your heart skips because you realize you might have just found something extraordinary. For some lucky homeowners, these discoveries turn out to be worth thousands of dollars, transforming a simple home improvement project into an unexpected treasure hunt.

For most of its life, the alley's main feature was the church of St Martin Orgar, possibly named after Ordgarus, a Dane who donated the church to the canons of St Paul's. Sadly, most of the church was destroyed during the Great Fire of London. The badly damaged remains were restored and used by French Protestants right up to 1820.

The story of this corner of London runs deep. The roots of settlement here stretch back to the 10th century, when King Edgar granted 13 acres of riverside land to 13 knights (yes, an acre per knight), with permission to use it for trading along he river. By 1125, there was already a dock at St Katharine's. Over the centuries, the area grew into a small but busy community, complete with a hospital, a monastery, a school, almshouses and its own court.

Heritage sites constitute complex spatial archives in which architecture, history, and collective memory converge. They encompass a wide spectrum of contexts-from archaeological remains, ancient and historic townscapes, UNESCO-listed landscapes, to early modern civic structures and industrial infrastructures. Yet these environments confront challenges: climate change, urban transformation, disaster, shifting social needs, and the gradual erosion of material fabric. Revitalization and restoration projects respond to these conditions by positioning architectural and spatial practice as an active mediator between preservation and the contemporary topologies.
