I will discuss how one can construct nice cellular

algebras using the cohomology of Springer fibres associated with two

block nilpotent matrices (and the convolution product). Their

quasi-hereditary covers can be described via categories of highest

weight modules for the Lie algebra sl(n). The combinatorics of torus

fixed points in the Springer fibre describes decomposition

multiplicities for the corresponding highest weight categories. As a

result one gets a natural subcategory of coherent sheaves on a

resolution of the slice to the corresponding nilpotent orbit.
