Bike Park

Where do you leave your bike if you live in a terraced house? This cyclist has fixed a sturdy chain to the front wall of the house to use as a bike park.

Corner House #2

Another example of a corner shop conversion to a house. Nice brickwork detail above the old doorway.

Corner House

This corner shop has been converted to a house although some traces of is original construction still remain.

Corner Shop

Before supermarkets were thought of many of the terraced streets had corner shops, one on each corner, selling all the daily necessities. Most of the shops have now been converted to housing or to specialist shops like these.

The Old Corner Shop

The name of this house reflects its past use as a corner shop. Come back tomorrow to find out more.

Kings Square

Until earlier this year Kings Square was covered in cobblestones, however the council decided it was looking shabby and cluttered. Over the last few months it has been repaved and re-modelled to make it look bigger. Many people liked the cobbles and campaigned to have them remain. For my money they should have re-sited that black litter bin somewhere less obtrusive.

Busy Street

A busy morning on Monkgate for walkers and cyclists and good weather for sightseers on the open topped bus.
