What is it, it looks like Fremantle prison? It also looks freezing cold.

That shop at the back left is the general store/post office, I used to get sweets from there as a child, the shot is the centre of the village. The pub on the right is very nice, Lord Crewe Arms I think it is called. Didn't live here, lived in 1970's semi, but every summer cisited on numerous Sundays (in the days when only garden centres were open).

Of course it was freezing cold, this is the North East - does look a bit like a winter sunshine doesn't it

that's a lovely image. Tell me, if the camera were to turn left or right, or 180 degrees, would it be just as nice ?.

I found that taking photos in the UK I all too frequently had to be carefull that I only frame the good and avoided the crap that encroached on the candy box imagery.

The same is true of stuff in Aus too, but thanks to the sparsness it's less of a problem.

... a few paces to the left are scruffy public toilets with a quaint ye-olde flat felt roof, big steel doors and anti-vandal windows. :lecture:

I don't mind the , it was just that some poster (can't even remember who now) used them without any accompanying text or anything. Anyway, here's another good one I found, looks very typically British:

We have just returned from a goodbye trip to the North.
I always wanted to go to Blackpool. Here are the pictures they were taken in the 'height of Summer' end of August.

An old tram on the prom.

As you can see the weather was cold and dismal most of the time. We did have 1 day of sun out of 7 though!
