Bristol & West House, Bournemouth, 2024

A curved corner brick building with many windows under a bright sun, casting shadows. Several cars are parked along the street, and a few people walk on the sidewalk, including a person pushing a stroller. The sky is mostly clear with a few clouds.

A four-story building features brown brick walls and large, rectangular windows with green vertical panels between some windows. A white awning extends above the entrance, labeled Bristol & West House, under a clear blue sky.

A tall, art deco building with Bristol & West House on the top, features curved brickwork, tall windows, and a Be At One cocktail bar on the ground floor. People walk nearby under a clear blue sky, with leafy trees framing the right side.

Walking away from the Bournemouth Echo building, we were distracted by Bristol & West House, a 1958 art deco building. Originally it must’ve been offices + retail, with the upper floors being converted to become the plainest apartments imaginable in 2015. Externally it’s a very fine building, however.

Brighthelm Centre, Brighton, 2024

A four-story, weathered brown concrete building with vertical stains stands on a rainy street. The ground floor has a colorful storefront named Astoria with a blue fence beside it. Several cars are parked along the wet road in front of the building.

I’ve risked my last train home out of rainy Brighton to stop and take a picture of this beauty. This is the Brighthelm Centre. I love the textured concrete at the front of the building, and while the brick behind doesn’t do much for me, it certainly makes a great first impression. The cross recessed into the textured concrete is a particularly nice touch.

Bournemouth Echo building, 2024

A corner view of a 1930s-style Art Deco building with ECHO signs, clock tower, and large windows. The street has parked cars, bikes, trees, and red-brick Victorian buildings on the left. The sky is blue with scattered clouds.

Art Deco building with tan stone façade, tall central tower, vertical windows, and geometric lines. Large clock projects above blue double doors. ECHO sign on top. Tree at right, blue sky with clouds above, and a sidewalk and quiet street in front.

Lovely weather to see Bournemouth today actually, plenty to see here!

Harbourside beauty in Weymouth, 2024

A large, gray multi-story parking garage with vertical concrete slats stands under a cloudy sky. In front, there is a bus stop shelter displaying a digital ad and various signs. Bushes and street signs line the sidewalk alongside the road.

A multi-storey concrete car park with vertical slats and five visible levels. The entrance is at ground level, marked by a blue sign. Yellow directional arrows are painted on the road. Bushes and trees border the entrance, and a pay parking sign stands on the right.

A large, gray, concrete multi-story car park with vertical slats covers most of the frame. The sky is overcast, and the surrounding area has some greenery, street signs, and empty roads. A blue P parking sign is visible on the building.

Sherborne Library, 2024

A single-story building with a sign reading “Sherborne Library” stands behind tall hedges. A road in the foreground has STAFF ONLY painted on it. The sky is clear and blue, with autumn trees and trimmed grass visible around the library.

Audibly gasped when I saw the sign, the font feels very of the era with a quality modern fonts don’t have anymore.

The Scott Mills Bridge at Fleet Services, 2024

A long, enclosed walkway with green railings and large windows on both sides, showing trees outside. The pathway is empty except for a yellow caution sign in the distance, and the scene has a mixture of green and yellow foliage visible through the glass.

A wide, empty motorway with six lanes in each direction, divided by a grassy median. Cars and a white truck travel in both directions. Tall pine trees line both sides under a cloudy sky. The photo is taken from an overpass above the road.

A brushed metal plaque in a dark wood frame reads The Scott Mills Bridge with Scott Mills signature below. At the bottom, WELCOMEBREAK is printed, with WELCOME in green and BREAK in white uppercase letters.

A national ICON!

Spiral multi-storey, Romford, 2024

A circular, multi-story parking garage is lit by bright lights at night. Several cars, including a black SUV and a white sedan, are driving past on a wet road that reflects the lights. The scene is dark, with the garage dominating the background.

Goes to a new place; immediately goes down a back street and finds a car park.

Moorgate Station to Liverpool Street Station tunnel, London, 2024

A long, tiled underground tunnel with curved walls and ceiling, illuminated by bright overhead lights. Three people walk along the tunnel, two heading away and one towards the camera. The scene has a symmetrical, futuristic appearance.

I thought CityMapper was sending me walkies round London for no reason but it was just trying to show me a very long, very repetitive pedestrian tunnel, DUH 🤦🏼‍♂️ And I’m so thankful for that!

Cuthbert House, the remains and environs thereof, Newcastle, 2024

A stone railway bridge with two large arches stands beside a modern building. Metal scaffolding is attached to the bridge. Vines grow on the stonework, and construction materials are stacked below. Graffiti is visible on both the bridge and the nearby building.

A large, rectangular, concrete office building with many rows of blue-framed windows. Some windows are boarded up with wood, and there are visible stains on the building’s surface, suggesting age or neglect. The sky is cloudy.

A rundown building with boarded-up windows, blue window frames, and signs of neglect. The sign reads HOUSE with missing letters. Warning signs and a speed limit sign are on the wall. Debris, green sacks, and a broken mirror are visible in the dirty courtyard.

A blocked, sloping concrete path between stone walls leads to a city street. A metal fence and warning sign stop entry; wood planks and metal sheets lean on both sides. Across the street, a yellow taxi and black SUV are parked near a large gray building.

That jerry-rigged gate at the end is making me laugh to this day.

Manors Car Park, Newcastle, 2024

A curved, multi-level road descends alongside a tall concrete barrier on the left. A modern, rectangular building with many windows is in the background. Cars are visible below, and the sky is partly cloudy, creating a mix of light and shadow.

A curved, fenced pedestrian ramp with streetlights winds upward under a cloudy sky. Vertical concrete pillars line the outside, and the image is viewed through red metal bars in the foreground. The pavement appears empty and slightly damp.

A multi-level spiral parking garage ramp with concrete columns and metal railings. Sunlight casts shadows across the surfaces, and a Drive Slowly sign is visible. Colorful graffiti buildings and greenery can be seen through the gaps outside.

A multi-level concrete parking structure with tall vertical bars, winding ramps, and sunlight streaming through clouds above. Greenery is visible on the ground to the left, and city buildings are in the background behind the structure.

Curved ramp inside a multi-story car park with concrete beams and vertical windows letting in sunlight. A yellow pillar on the right has a blue directional arrow sign pointing left. City buildings and a blue sky are visible through the windows.

A curved, dimly lit concrete ramp with metal railings and vertical bars on the side, showing green plants growing through the bars. Light streams in from the left, and a ceiling light is visible above, creating a mix of shadow and natural light.

A close-up view of two adjacent concrete parking garages with multiple floors and open-air designs. Vertical and horizontal beams frame each level, and metal railings run along the edges. The sky is partly visible at the top left.

A large concrete overpass curves above an empty parking lot with vertical pillars supporting the structure. Sunlight creates shadows, and a multi-story parking garage with open gaps lines the right side. The overall scene appears urban and deserted.

A modern, curving concrete overpass and elevated roadway stand above a parking area. Traffic cones line the road on the left. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds, and a tall brick building rises in the background.

Manors has to be my favourite car park yet. This wasn’t my first visit to it, of course, I don’t decide my favourite car parks on a whim! I’ve used this phrase before, I’m sure, but there’s just something pleasantly geometric about the whole space — not just the upright and cross beams of the car park itself, which repeat in such a mesmerising pattern, but how it fits into the space, too, and how the A167(M), the junction off it, and the pedestrian foot bridge (which affords great views of the car park) fits around its curves too. We were lucky to see it just as the sun came out after a rather grey morning, it looked extra beautiful.

The plaque at the entrance says “Manors Car Park — The first civic multi-storey car park in Newcastle Upon Tyne was opened on 27th July 1971 by Alderman Arthur Grey, leader of the city council.”
