Random Stuff - Dead Town

This is some random stuff I took the other day of places long past their prime. Including Lucy's Cafe, a nice cafe but badly situated and closed down some time ago. A shop whose name was not on the signage with an empty room but for a door and a few things inside. And the Portland Arms Pub, all boarded up. While taking pictures of the pub two passers by stopped to tell us about the history of the pub. One man mentioned that he watched Prince Charles wedding to Lady Diana in that pub and how he missed it. Telling us also that someone set fire to it before this Christmas gone. The other traveller recounted how he crashed out inside the building after he was made homeless and it was abandoned.

They both had interesting stories and genuinely missed the place.

Project – 'Landscapes' Update

Some little beauties this month for you on this project I would love to do more on given the chance. I have a confession to make … these images are not new. They were taken about twenty years ago somewhere north of Chesterfield in Derbyshire. They have been kicking around on my hard drives all this time, with me not knowing what to do with them. Well I finally put them into use and edited them. I hope it saws worth the wait.
