Brick-patterned frontage, Burnley, 2025

A modern barbershop with large glass windows and TOP FADE BARBERS signs above. Outdoor seating with tables and chairs is in front, along with a small decorative tree adorned with orange ornaments. The building has a brick façade and faces a quiet street.

All the best buildings have lampposts directly in front of them.

De Breyne Building, Keble College, Oxford, 2025

A tall, fortified-looking building made of yellow-brown brick, with multiple vertical columns and narrow, slit-like windows. The geometry is angular and brutalist. The sky above is cloudy, and a bicycle is parked at the far left.

A narrow, empty street curves alongside modern brick buildings with distinctive vertical buttresses. On the left, a stone wall with blooming white flowers and leafy trees contrasts with the architecture. The sky is mostly cloudy, and a white van is visible in the distance.

A rectangular metal vent with horizontal slats is set into a weathered brown brick wall. The vent is framed by a concrete border, and a white vertical line runs up the wall and across the vent, dividing the image symmetrically.

If I knew it was listed, I’d have attempted to take better photos. There’s some photos of the other side of the building on manchesterhistory.net.

London College of Fashion, Shoreditch, 2025

A building with a single square-ish mass, three storeys, and an additional smaller mass featuring a door and stairwall just out of shot to the right. The building is made out of London brick, with large thin-framed windows on the upper two storeys. The lower storey has windows, shutters, and graffiti. On the lower two storeys, the frontage is covered in large cream tiles, with a light-blue border around that and the front door.
