My Town

Hi Woo,lovely photo's of your town.I wish mine had some half decent buildings,unike yours with it's quaint shops.They are the sort of shops that appeal to me and Mr Kandy:thmb:

If we want to visit shops like yours we would have to go on holiday and become tourists and then we seem to find plenty of them.I also love the Architecture of old buildings but have to go over to the town where I was born to find some good examples.Thanks for sharing your town with us

PS,Is your town always as quiet as that with no cars or people?:D

 

I've been to Rochester once. It was really nice. I particularly liked the old fashioned independent shops where you could buy actual decent stuff instead of the mass produced overpackaged commercial rubbish that high streets the length and bredth of the country to be stuffed with.

Its not somewhere I would have ever thought to go to had it not been for the fact that my sister lived there at the time. Perhaps it is an undiscovered gem, except of course that it is not exactly undiscovered, having been there for centuries

 

My overiding memory of Rochester was seeing the results of a lorry losing its load of huge newsprint rolls of paper coming off a lorry at the top of a hill.
These rolls did huge amounts of damaged and took out several cars etc: on the way down.
Also a monster speam whale on the long low loader. I remember as a lad being rather impressed with the size of it..
Thanks for the memories Woo:gnthb:
