Mundane pictures of the North

Here are some photos of the fire taken yesterday. The fire was out, according a friendly policeman in the third picture, but still smouldering. They were continuing to pour lots of water into it.

The back of the building, and you can see the damage the fire did, including to the roof.

And this tv presenter looks familiar, but I can think of his name.

And on a cheerier note, some random graffiti in Manchester taken yesterday:

Spot the addition of a bee in this one, the bee being one of the symbols of the city. I wonder if it means there is a danger of electrocution and being stung to death by bees? That would be doubly unlucky! :D

The one with the mask must have been boiling:

I've been neglecting this thread recently. A few taken earlier tonight:


I like this - a shop that sells nowt but pork products, and the old wall advert for golden pheasant. Wonder what golden pheasant was - probably not the game bird but a brand for something or other in the past. I've found a brand of flour with that name - so maybe this was a grocers before?

Is this cheating? Leeds in the '70s, not my pic:

According to this photo it was a brand of tobacco. It's been a pork shop for years now though, I'm not sure what it was before that
