The Shell Store revisited

In November 2021 we made our first visit to the Shell Store, a refurbished building on an industrial estate in Hereford.

 

At that time it was almost completed and we made a mental note to go back again when it was open for business. The link above briefly summarizes the history of this remarkable building so I won't repeat myself here.

 What I will say is I really like the saw-tooth roof line of the Shell Store, and I'm fascinated by the translucent material that forms its cladding. Thay both look great on a bright, clear(ish) day.

Industrial lighting

Industrial lighting? Well, not quite. Christmas lights  on an industrial estate in Ross on Wye courtesy of one of the businesses located there. Mercifully traditional green and red was chosen and we were spared the very unseasonal dark blue that has proliferated in recent years. My first sighting of these lights made me wonder whether a competition between companies for the "best" Christmas lights will spring up to match the rivalry between householders that can be seen at this time of year.
