Photographer bait, Lancaster, 2025

Leaving a wee kids’ bike in front of a decaying warehouse on an industrial estate just as the sun sets behind it, to me, is like the proverbial van full of sweets. After deviating from my route back from the gym to take a photo, I’m surprised I’m not in some basement with my face on a milk carton right now.

Lancaster, 2025

I’ve had wineeeee at the French restaurant, so this is all you’re getting. The photo came out kinda neat though.

Williamson Power Station, Lancaster, 2025

Now derelict Williamson Power Station, Lancaster. Once used to supply power to the city’s linoleum factory, it has more recently been used for illegally storing compacted waste, which set alight in December 2023. Following the days-long fire and the operation to extinguish it, it now stands mostly empty, fire-damaged but no less immense.

More information and pictures available on the Lancaster Civic Vision website, for those interested.

Lloyds Bank, Lancaster, 2024

About as well photographed as possible, after orthodontic treatment, and with a bag of apples in my hand.

Fencing on Dallas Road, Lancaster, 2024

This was a high risk mission because a few weeks ago I fell on my arse on this slippery tree-lined road with such a thud a couple a street away turned back to check on me, but the barbed fencing on the right made me stop urgently and take a picture.
