Mundane pictures of the North

[Dillinger4]

the tower is Sheffield University Arts Tower

 

[Dillinger4]

in the north you are closer to the sky and that makes the sky ANGRY

pff you call that angry? that's a summers day that is

The sky is indeed fucking furious today. I reckon its because the chippy was closed.

not with pictures like this

I think it deserves one more repost at least.

 

[Dillinger4]

it's ... it's beautiful. I feel like it is a summary of my life somehow. steps to absence, emptiness and decay.

Nantwich?

Salterhebble?

I think this picture could become the meme to end all memes.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Salterhebble?

The picture isn't Salterhebble (which I had to look up!).

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Nope! Keep going!

I give up!

Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

What's in the box?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Forlorn office blocks.

And another, lurking amidst the nicer buildings of UMIST. Apologies for the slightly blurry shot - I was trying to focus on what was on the red door, but obviously failed!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Abandoned building site in the gay village. They were intending to build yet more flats, but the money ran out here too, and its been sat like this for a few years, with nature gradually reclaiming it for its own.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

And yet another fine example of crappy concrete architecture.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Yet another old mill. Manchester has lots of mills, as you might have guessed by now.

It looks like it is suffering subsidence, given the slightly wonky windows on the upper floors, and the strange bulging brickwork.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Another incredibly dull building site. A sign on the hoarding describes it as a 'cultural facility' - slightly odd, almost communist terminology.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

1950s building? Looks like it from the very dull design - no frills here!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

And a dull if actually quite nice in my book, archway with obligatory stains on the walls from water.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Callie's first lot of pictures are from Pye Bank in Sheffield no? On a bit of high ground between Neepsend and Burngreave. I went up there once for a walk and it's pretty dodgy, I guess as a consequence of being a bit of deserted land so close to the city so handy for drug deals etc.

Although when I got to the top, by the boarded up Board School, there was an Asian family up there taking in the view with a gas cooker making food. Why not?

And was the pub The Fat Cat?

I was wondering whether it was Sheffield, given how hilly it looked.

That bank reminds me of Woodhouse Ridge in Leeds - a wooded ridge running for a few miles from the city centre, and a very nice place to walk along. No idea what it is like nowadays, so any Loiner's views welcome.
