Vats.
If we were in America this would be a vacant lot.
Single old style lamp post.
All the other lamp posts were like these.

Sometime around the turn of the century, I remember a gable end round here somewhere with "GOD is from Clayton" emulsioned on it it white. Can't find it though, it must've gone.
Reclaimed by nature.
I wonder if that lamp post still works?
Twoc'd pram.
Droylesden centre - I didn't notice them kids outside greggs when I took the pic. Wait, what? Taking pictures of kids? What the fuck? Is he a fucking paedophile? - That's what I imagine the girl's saying to the lad.
The Droylesden centre - I rather like it.
Miles better than greggs.
Funny looking 3 storey terraces in Ashton.
This is what they look like from the front.
Margaret Terrace, Ashton.
Flats hiding behind Margaret terrace.
Ashton Council offices. Ace building.
Ashetton House, Ashton. Nice variety of window shapes & sizes.
Untended graveyard, Ashton.
Coffee table reading. I've posted about this book elsewhere - I only picked it up because I thought it was called "Doing A Dump".

My old flat!! 10th floor
Proper houses.
I don't think I've seen ones like that with three floors at the back anywhere else.
First I've seen too, they just look good old proper community houses. I wonder if they were built as housing for workers by a altruistic employer?
Possibly - I've just tried googling Hindley St/Smith St Ashton Under Lyne (that's where they are) but only came up with zoopla type house price bullshit.
I have just found that the Tudno factory that was/is a biscuit factory was originally a mill, the third of four in the Ryecroft group built in 1845, the houses may well have been for workers.

Good work. Nice one 
I think I'd be more surprised now if I took some pics and there wasn't one of somewhere you'd lived/worked/been out with someone from there etc.

Ptooff!
I was in Manchester city centre last night, my eldest was at the Academy to see Bastille (I have no idea who they are) so I dropped her and pals off and went for walk after going to the AMC to see FILTH. Tried using my camera's 'night mode' for the first time with varying degrees of success but didn't get many pics as my battery ran out - here's the best of a very bad lot...
I'm not sure. I always get those little shepherds pies.

That sounds familiar - I've had some nice pasties from Martins. Unfortunately, there isn't a branch near me - the nearest one is a few miles away. Might have to go to Greggs when they open at 6 as I want a pasty now!
To be fair on Greggs their pasties made massive improvements. Years ago you'd get a pastie that had all the filling in one end.
My mate likes to claim her husband was recruited by Greggs to create the full filling pastie.
Martins also did the veg curry. Their pastry was much better than Greggs but I'd have to do a cheese n onion comparison test to make that call nowadays.

I'm beginning to regret never buying anything from Martins now. Lived near on when I was in Levy but always just thought it would be sub-Greggs disappointment so never bothered.
That and the fact that the example entry in my job hunting diary from the labour exchange was something about applying for a position there.

I really really want a cheese and spinach pasty now. 
In other news, I find it curiously reassuring that in these end days of broadband, eye recognition and self-serve checkouts, someone somewhere is still making these stickers. ..

I always wonder if there is ever any hilarious mix-ups between the ACAB taxi firm and this slogan somehow.

I was just looking through old pics from my blog (woo, it's Friday night, let's PARTY!!!) and found this one which made me snigger four years on. It is from Stranraer in Scotland- the one shop that was open had faded brand named products artfully arranged very carefully in its window in little displays of 'fuck me, it's Heinz ketchup! like it was about 1945.

The loo roll was a personal favourite.
