Lloyds Bank, Lancaster, 2024

A three-story, gray stone building with six windows above a green sign that reads LLOYDS BANK. The bank entrance is lit and features glass doors. An ATM is on the left side beside the doors. The sidewalk is empty, and dusk light is visible.

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

Post Office, Windsor, 2024

A three-story building with a Post Office on the ground floor and many windows above. In front, a wooden market stall with a yellow sign sells German sausages. Several people walk along the street in winter clothing under a cloudy sky.

So distracted by the mesmerising repeating aluminium windows of the Windsor Post Office that I completely missed whatever was going on with The Works 💔

Street View to the rescue:

A shopfront with a blue and yellow sign reading TheWorks.co.uk. Sale banners with Union Jack flags fill the wide front windows. Above are rectangular concrete panels and circular openings at the roof. Neighboring shops and a red Post Office sign are visible.

Angel Way car park, Romford, 2024

A multi-story concrete parking garage with a dark brick stairwell stands on a quiet, empty street. There are signs on the building, parked cars at the right, and trees with sparse leaves on both sides. The sky is overcast and gray.
A grey concrete multi-storey car park with open floors stands above the Romford Auction Rooms shop, which displays furniture and goods outside. Bunting hangs above the shop. A leafless tree and a one-way street sign are visible in the foreground.
A multi-story concrete parking garage with red railings, open sides, and multiple empty parking spaces in front. A single blue car is parked on the left. The sky is overcast, and the building has a utilitarian, weathered appearance.

It has all the mod-cons a car park needs:

  • Season tickets available
  • Business parking available
  • “Video surveillance”
  • Faded red detailing
