The local tower, (shot with a tilted lens - I almost got the bottom of the tower focused)

One of the two water towers in town.   The other is plug ugly.  Local water supply is abstracted from the river Dee.

Shot tower (2016). Used to make lead shot.   The lead works is long gone, they were supposed to be preserving at least part of the industrial heritage but reneged on a lot of it.  I haven't been to look to see if the tower is still there today, it should be, this was 2016.

Weren't the other cinema goers pissed off? or did you do it in the intermission with the choc ice seller keeping 'em sweet?

Early baking lessons.

Be-Ro?  I have my granny's version.  

Yes, Be-Ro 32nd edition, 1967 (year before I got married.) I still use it. I also have the glossy 40th edition, but I seldom use that one.

I see it was printed in Willesden (London) and I once worked there.  I was with a building company initially (I think they were all pro-IRA) and that was a bit scary - and then I was with Rank Hovis McDougall, doing statistical analysis. That was great as we got offered products at give-away prices. Helped a lot in my early days in London when we were pretty skint!
