Some more town shots for you today.
There is an older part of town than I have previously shown.
The whole town centre was originally small lanes with small shops (except the High Street, natch).
The majority was bulldozed in the 60s for the new wave of brutalist architecture, which consisted of concrete, concrete and a bit more concrete. And when it rains (not a rare occurrence here) it goes the colour of sadness. They've since tried to repair the damage with revamps and facades and enclosing the shopping centre, but of course you can't replace history.
Anyway, here are some of the bits the planners managed to miss.
The Kings Head pub - was a coaching in as I'm sure you can tell be the entrance.
Sorry bout the wheely bin, no way to keep it out of the shot.
As you can see from the second pic, the pub is well and truly hidden. It has its own courtyard too.
