It's better than Banksy truth be told.

Welcome to sunny Salford!

I spent a weekend at Salford once. It was shit.

(I was skint and stranded)

Beyond vile.



A dreadful pub...



...in a dreadful structure. Again, just why?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Trying to work out where you are there. You opposite the museum?

Yes, directly opposite, on top of an older tower block (the uni maths tower), since demolished. Was doing a sponsored abseil and took some pics while I was up there. It was very windy!

Nowhere is nice if you're stranded and skint. Know that feeling too well.

Right, ran out of dull pictures of the north for the time being. Must get out and take some more soon.

One of the few mundane pics on the thread - Nice one for reading the OP. A crap, nondescript building and fuck all going on.

I agree - it isn't a good building. While I was rooting through my old pics earlier I found a picture of when that was being built, showing the much nicer building behind it (the Thistle Hotel). The block in this pic was only about one storey high at the time. Will dig it out and post up later today.

I take it the official title of that picture is 'secure compound' - you've got steel railings, a large moat and CCTV! That's what you call security!

Newcastle Grainger Market

I scouted round town this morning to look for boring sites to snap, and will post some more up later once I've reduced the file sizes. I'll have to go on a proper wander this weekend to fully document all of central Manchester's mundanity - in all it's non-glory.

Is that because you're trespassing?

where is this? It concerns me personally, as a Wiganese.

If it's the one I think it is, it's in Gateshead. It's not that far from me, but I've not been in for years.

 

[Al Kriegen]

Neonwilderness is correct it's in Gateshead at the top of the hill

Dead Man's Arch (near the bottom of the hill)

I am concerned that this thread is making the 'Londoners' even more sneery about their overpriced Leffe and contant fun .. So better up the ante...

Surely it's just a comment about his work?

I fucking love this thread

I walk through Dark Arches in Leeds twice a day, but don't have a good camera to take photos

ETA: Not my photo.

I walk under Dark Arches in Leeds twice a day, but don't have a good camera to take photos

That's an ace pic. It's like the end of a rave but with cars instead of munters.

Not mine I'm afraid... Will have an explore and take a couple tomorrow.

The best thing about the dark arches is the eerie minimalist music that's played.

I get my phone back tomorrow so I'm gonna take some pics around town as well (my current phone isn't up to it, and I like putting my own pics on this thread, rather than others').
