Mundane pictures of the North

Vandalised bog, Sheepwash country park.

Hebden Bridge this morning. Not my photo as there's too much snow here to bother trying to go out.

Pease Court, on the High Street. The wall fronting onto the street is all that's left of the house and business premises of the Pease family, a prominent merchant dynasty who founded the first bank in Hull in the mid-eighteenth century. The warehouses behind were converted into flats in the late 80s, and some new - and quite sympathetic - buildings added at the same time. Shame about the increasingly derelict remains of the flour mill in the background, just across the river: I wish they'd get on and knock the damn thing down.

I need to spend a day in Hull when the weather gets better.

Tynemouth is lovely, and I spent a happy few hours exploring it the other year with a couple of friends, the day after a mutual friend's wedding. And I found some excellent books at the market on the station.

Yeah, Tynemouth on a weekend is a good way to kill a few hours. I was planning on walking up the coast towards Whitley Bay to get the Metro, but it was raining so I retreated back to the market for a cup of tea and to buy a couple more books instead
