Windsor: The former St John's Orphanage, Clewer
The photographer has to confess to being somewhat mystified by this Gothic extravaganza. It is obviously of some architectural interest and a search of the English Heritage Listed Buildings website gives the following description:
St Annes House Convent of St John The Baptist
1853, architect Henry Woodyer. Gothic. H plan. 2 storeys and attic, red brick. Steep pitch tiled roof. South front has casement windows. One bay window of 5 pointed lights ground floor. 3 narrow gablets above as dormers. 4 circular chimneys rising from 1st floor and made to look like medieval bartisans with circular shafts. 3 wider dormers between these."
In this a gablet is a small gable while a bartisan or bartizan is a small turret projecting from a wall, and we are looking at the south front.
Yet looking at old large scale Victorian Ordnance Survey maps the building is consistently described in each succeeding edition as St John's Orphanage. But would an architect be employed to build such a quirky structure for an orphanage?
It now appears to be called "Recognition House".

Windsor: The Colonnade, Clewer
Old Victorian Ordnance Survey maps show this building on Clarence Road as a police station. The date carved in the stone tablet in the centre is either 1876 or 1879 (photographer cannot remember!).

Royal Windsor Way
Looking towards the new Castle View retirement complex site. Here's what it's going to look like. http://castleviewwindsor.co.uk/about-castle-view
The road is the main one in Windsor crossing over the river since the one in the centre was closed to traffic, heading to Amersham via Slough. The other being the Albert Bridge to Datchet to the east.
