West St towards East St in Rhayader Powys. Looking at the cars I’d day this was taken in the mid-1960s.

A old postcard of the Kyle of Lochalsh, on the northwest coast of Scotland. The ferry is gone now replaced by a bridge over to the Isle of Skye. The hotel is still there though. #scotland #kyleoflochalsh #postcard #vintage #1960s #daysgone #oldphoto #isleofskye #oldcar #streetview #harbour #history

Withernsea, East Yorkshire Nov 06. 6.30 am but with sunrise it made for a good in lens camera effect. I couldn’t resist talking a picture of the Tesco shopping trolley.

As an ex-Micra owner (for now 😁) all I have is memories. 15-01-13 and my 1.3 GX. I couldn’t resist seeing if she’d start, of course she did. 6 wks later we'd be in Ireland and stay there for the rest of the year, happy days 🥰

Where Jameson St meets King Edward St, Hull. I believe the mural is being kept though the building is being demolished.

A nice piece of symetry on Baker Street. Comprising two doors, two windows with a alleyway with wrought iron gates in the middle. This is part of a row of Georgian houses which are now a little run down. You can imagine, how beautiful it once looked.

Seriously, it's boycott day. Don't buy from anything *today* from Trump's tech cronies. Especially Amazon.

A mirror image of the Humber Bridge at sunset. This photo shows the bridge and the Humber Estuary reflected on itself to create a loop. Taken at sunset with the blue sky turning yellow. Whispy clouds complete the image.

Hull Interchange taken 30th Jan 2025. Looking quiet as I waited at stand 3 for the park and ride number 20 bus. Not a bad station I think.

An interesting place to visit, there seems to be less of it every time I go there though. I'll be a sad when when they pull the Lord Line down, which I am sure they will.

#hull #yorkshire #travel #architecture #photography #abandoned #fishingheritage
The former St. Andrews Dock lock gates with the abandoned Lord Line Building in the background. St.Andrews Dock is now filled in, but the old wooden lock gates remain with its chain railings. It was the home to Hull's deep sea fishing fleet. In the background is the now abandoned Lord Line Building. Once a symbol of power within the industry. It is an imposing art deco style building. Note "Lord Line" carved into the stone work at the top of the building.
