Neglected Brick Wall

Nikon D40 and 18-70mm lens.

Slatford Memorial

01 May 2019 135
A short epitaph lacking dates and sentiment. Not a big pay day for the monumental mason. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens.

Public Inconvenience

14 Dec 2018 2 1 207
In 2016 the BBC reported that some UK High Streets and public spaces no longer had any council-run public toilets. This photograph is a record of a closed public lavatory in Melksham, Wiltshire. It is situated between a public recreation ground and shops, and is adjacent to a car park. A funfair sometimes sets up attractions in the part of this car park closest to the toilets. There is no legal requirement for local authorities to provide public lavatories. Relentless pressure on council spending has resulted in many closures. At the time of the report, at least 1,782 facilities had been closed across the UK during the previous decade. Ten areas, including Newcastle, Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales and Wandsworth in south London, had no council-run public toilets at all. Public toilets have existed on UK High Streets for more than 150 years. They are vital for public health and decency. The absence of these amenities is felt especially hard by the elderly, people who drive for a living, and the homeless.

Westbury Railway Station

29 Oct 2018 92
A Victorian railway station, built to last. Attractive, in a utilitarian way. Yet like so many things in Declining Britain, it presents an air of defeat and neglect. Nikon D50 + AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G lens.

Dollar Street, Cirencester (Sandwich Edit)

19 Oct 2018 185
There is a general air of neglect round Stokes' premises. When that sign falls off the wall and hits a passer by, the law practice just up the road is handily situated to pick up the litigation. A doctor's surgery in this street would be a plus, too. Nikon D700 + Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 Di VC USD lens.
