Mundane pictures of the North

loved it

The Halo is pretty good as well although I've not yet seen it lit up at night. Even if the sculpture isn't to your liking, the view from up there is fantastic. You can see Jodrell Bank on a good day.

I have to say these pics aren't very mundane...

The pub at East Lancs Railway, Bury is the best thing known to humanity. Six to eight strong and excellent ciders or perries on draught (three quid a pint) whilst looking at steam trains

This pic of a menu in Bolton market features a shark with a crab in its mouth. I think both of them are dead.

This gentleman was playing a recorder to the songs of The Pogues on a tape recorder in the middle of Bolton. Respect.

Haven't been to Bolton in a very long time. Does the museum with the Egyptology stuff still exist?

Yes it does. It is an excellent local museum with suitably random collection of Bolton things, mummies and tropical fish.

These are more foreboding than mundane, the skies are anyway.

Was that just before it pissed down this afternoon?

We got in just before the rain and timed it perfectly to leave as it relented.

It was so warm down on the Quayside. It's never warm when I've been down there in all the years...

Well, I'd be a bit surprised to see a live shark lunge out from a market stall with a crab in it's gob.

Morning from Manchester. A random street in Longsight a few minutes ago. The train stopped briefly as we were passing rows of terraces with the sun just rising over the Pennines.

Gloomy Northern weather. Kinder Scout is lurking somewhere behind that...

It's like this in the South West too...

I've taken a fair few pictures to put on this thread recently and then haven't got around to it. Maybe later today.

Nice wall by the canal in newton heath. I think the canal might well be my favourite place, no cameras, bucolic, a body of water by the side of you and it's long - What else is there?

 

[Frances Lengel]

Cassy.
