There's plenty of badly-designed tall buildings proposed in London too, I'm afraid Simon ...
Bristol, is seeing lots of plans for tall buildings. Historic England recognises the need for new, high density, housing in sustainable locations but we lament the design quality. So we went to London today to look at tall buildings, and have a think about what good looks like.

There's a huge & high development proposed on the south side of the canal at #KensalGreen.
Its so high & dense it will crowd & cast deep shadows over much of the historic listed landscape of the cemetery.
Can we get a more sympathetic low-rise development?

If IK #Brunel was alive today, would he build motorcycles... and would they look this !?!
What a brilliant @IKBrunel-inspired #steampunk bike on display @Kickbackshows in Malvern today.
IKB is probably happily turning wheelies and stoppies in his grave.

One of the wonderful 3D scans of heritage buildings that @artfletch has made, the Dissenter's Chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery.

I've now also scanned the exterior of the Dissenters' Chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery.

I couldn't capture the flat roof so that's a bit blurry.

Who would have thought that one of these fine gents would go on to have along and successful career as a Sexton at West Norwood Cemetery? @fownc1837

Characters include the Victorian novelist William Harrison Ainsworth and his housekeeper Eliza Touchet ... real characters who now lie in Kensal Green.

I had to acquire an early (1896) edition of this, the graveyard flâneur’s bible. What a fab undertaking this was! Gods bless Mrs Basil Holmes! PS she really hated Kensal Green… now there we differ. #gravedigging
One of the curiosities of our older cemeteries - some have catacombs that were used by families almost like a mausoleum; while other people used them as temporary resting places.
Like this example from Kensal Green Cemetery's more recent past⬇️

This is a madness that should never have happened.
A lady bought a cemetery lodge and has been complaining that people walk past the lodge to get to the cemetery, setting off sirens and harassing them. She's making and example of this guy and is seeking damages in court!
Madness!
