Hi Ho it's off to work I go!
The pictures were taken partly to test new digital camera and partly to record something I do daily at present but will, one day, not be a part of my life. Loading onto site has been a bit difficult and the walk has divided into two parts.
It starts with the parking of my car (1) I then turn and begin my walk (2), sometimes posting a letter. This house (3) interests me. It would once have been a stable for the large Regency house to the left-hand side of it which overlooks the park. It was used in a BBC contemporary drama once, and somehow the road in front of it looked different, narrower and sinister.
I now cut across the top of Pittville Park (4), this photo was taken at the beginning of autumn. This tree is growing slowly and changes with the season. I guess it was planted when the park was originally created in the 18th Century, it has certainly been there since I was little and came here with my mother and, in all likelihood it will still be there when I’m no longer here.
I cut across the grass. Under this tree (5) I normally see the squirrels skitting about. At one time the park was surrounded by iron railings but these were taken away to aid the war effort, luckily the balconies on the surrounding houses (6) survived.
Looking down the road you can see the crane (7) which is changing the surroundings creating the sudo-regency houses I mentioned in a previous post.
Turning down towards the square (8), then behind the grand houses to where the stables would have been (9). I just like the design of this mews buildings windows (10) reminds me of art-deco. The fish in the final photo of this set is a door-knock.
Set two begins further down this lane where some of the stables have been converted into cottages (1). The end one has still to receive any TLC and become a residential property (2). Maybe if I win the lottery I could restore and convert it.
The next house (3) is closer to town and I like its usual shape.
Not sure if this photo displaying (4) beyond the car park this old chapel is now a health spa. I don’t actually walk past it, preferring to short-cut across long-stay car park (5). It would cost me £7.50 to park here for the day, that’s £37.50 a week! In front is the old brewery site where a leisure complex with hotel and casino is being built. On the main road (8) is a closer view of this development, situated next to a Victorian church hall. Again I take a back lane (9), called the rose & crown passage, probably named after a public house which no longer exists. This lane divides working class Victorian terraces houses. It’s narrow (10).
I like this picture (11) as the building is the rear of the post office, then you have the telephone pole in foreground and the steeple of a church in the background, all forms of communication.
The last two are the wrong way around. The lamp is in the alleyway the man is entering. The alley emerges next to my place of work.
Although this was my normal walk I’ve began to vary it and even go straight into town. Variety is the spice of life.
