This really reminds me of somewhere in or near Hyde.

Quiet spot for a bit sit down. The people of Sunderland think it mundane as there's never anyone here when I drop by.

That's a great pic. Shame about the library though.

Our local village one has shut too, but the running of a (lesser) alternative has been taken on by a group of volunteers. As someone with a librarianship qualification (or just as a regular resident really) I'm not happy about that, or the fact the county council is shutting libraries/outsourcing library services to the voluntary sector.

Luckily that one is still open and well used, despite appearances.

Mundane picture from the past. The old main bus station in Sunderland. Looking at it makes me cough

Mundane & not so mundane. Morecambe this afternoon / evening. The weather played ball & the Bay looked amazing.

When I first came to Leeds, this corner unit was a grocery shop and since then a series of restaurants. Just noticed this sign the other day that seems to come from an earlier era with what looks like two crossed pipes - a tobacconist perhaps?

Fucking hell, I’ve passed that daily when I was in high school and almost daily for years since I moved back and haven’t noticed that!
Do you mind if use the image to ask about it on my local FB group? Or have you been researching too?
