Old Gala House is a museum and conference centre situated in the Old Town area of Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. The building was originally built as a tower house in 1457 by the Hoppringill family, who had been granted the lands of Gala by the Earl of Douglas. In 1583, Andrew Hoppringill carried out much improvement and extended the house as his family home. Further expansion took place in 1611, before Andrew returned to live at the family seat of Smailholm Tower in 1635, when his daughter, Jean, married Hugh Scott. A ceiling painting was rediscovered in 1952 celebrating that marriage. Hugh Scott, the new laird, carried out more improvements and extended the house. Further extensions were carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries, completing the edifice we see today. The five bay, U-shaped house is built of rubblestone and is embraced on three sides by gardens complete with water features.
In 1872, Hugh Scott 9th of Gala commissioned David Bryce, an eminent Scottish architect, to design and build a new house. On completion the family moved to New Gala House, abandoning the old house. New Gala House was demolished in 1985 around the time the Scottish Borders Council renovated the old house and converted it to a venue. As well as being a museum and conference centre, the house plays a role in the graduation ceremonies of the local university and also caters for all forms of meetings including marriages. The house also holds the archives of Borders Family History Society.
Олд-Бейли — традиционное название центрального уголовного суда, расположенного в величественном здании в стиле нео-ампир в Лондонском Сити, между Холборном и собором св. Павла. Ввиду своего расположения, не входит в систему британских королевских судебных инстанций и не подчиняется королевским властям, — процесс администрирования судопроизводства, от назначения и отставки судей до административно-хозяйственных вопросов и обеспечения работников суда канцелярскими принадлежностями осуществляется Корпорацией лондонского Сити. Функцию судебных приставов осуществляют специально подобранные сотрудники полиции Сити , не входящей в структуру Службы столичной полиции. Функция председателя суда закреплена за Лорд-мэром Лондона, который обладает правом проведения допроса свидетелей и других участников судопроизводства, судебных прений и заслушивания доводов сторон и вынесения окончательного решения по всем делам, разбирающимся в Олд-Бейли.

Nunnington Hall is a country house situated in the English county of North Yorkshire. The river Rye, which gives its name to the local area, Ryedale, runs past the house, flowing away from the village of Nunnington. A stone bridge over the river separates the grounds of the house from the village. Above, a ridge known as Caulkley's Bank lies between Nunnington and the Vale of York to the south. The Vale of Pickering and the North York Moors lie to the north and east. Nunnington Hall is owned, conserved and managed as a visitor attraction by the National Trust.
The first Nunnington Hall was mentioned in the thirteenth century and the site has had many different owners. They include William Parr, Dr Robert Huicke, Richard Graham, 1st Viscount Preston, the Rutson family and the Fife family. The present building is a combination of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century work. Most of the building seen today was created during the 1680s, when Richard Graham, 1st Viscount Preston, was its owner.

There is a gallery dedicated to the writer George Eliot, together with two others focusing on local history and fine art.

The Museum & Art Gallery opened on Sunday, 1 April 1917.
In 1941 a bombing raid resulted in Melly's death and significant damage to the building. Since many records were lost, knowledge of the origins of the museum's collection is now sometimes lacking.

Нориджская ратуша — здание I класса в городе Норидж в Англии, то есть здание, представляющее особый интерес. Построено на холме Джейл-Хилл в 1407—1413 годах в тюдоровском стиле. Резиденция мэрии Нориджа с начала XV века до 1938 года. Является крупнейшим сохранившимся средневековым гражданским зданием в стране за пределами Лондона. Одно из двенадцати исторических зданий в Норидже.
Ратуша была построена вскоре после того, как в 1404 году Нориджу был дарован устав. В 1412 году в подвалах здания уже содержали первых заключённых. В 1511 году, после обрушения крыши зала городского собрания, две башни на северной и южной сторонах здания были разрушены. В 1534 году зал городского собрания был восстановлен. В ходе проведённой реконструкции, восточная сторона фасада была облицована пёстрой кремневой галькой и украшена камнем, а также центральной панелью с изображением герба короля Генриха VIII с гербами города Нориджа и Общества Святого Георгия по бокам. В 1861 году по инициативе городского землемера Томаса Барри площадь здания была увеличена с южной стороны.
Гражданские дела рассматривались в здании до 1938 года, когда открылась новая мэрия. Суды магистратов продолжали проходить в старой ратуше до 1977 года, а заключенные содержались в здании до 1980 года. В 2010 году были проведены работы по восстановлению и укреплению часовой башни ратуши. В июне 2011 года в Нориджской ратуше состоялась премьера пьесы «Монстры» Никласа Радстрема об убийстве Джеймса Балджера.
