Some from a walk round town today.

This building is bound to get demolished at some point, which is a shame. It's been squatted recently - I think by the same group that took over the old Cornerhouse cinema.

The council have said they'll clear the square soon. The flower carpet is bigger now, and there was a bagpipe band all in kilts and bearskins.

A nice little warren of back streets round that bit of town - but not the bit next to noisy Atlas bar, obviously. I've lived next to a motorway and rail line, and that didn't bother me at all - but human voices always wake me up.

There were two of these petrol pumps still in use in Cloughton north of Scarborough only a few years back.
