Old warehouse, Hereford

The warehouse in today's photograph is on Gwynne Street near the River Wye and the old bridge in Hereford. It has been sensitively refurbished and displays its original polychrome brickwork, windows where the loading/unloading doors would have been and what looks like the housing for the pulley at the top of the facade. One feature I really like, and probably prompted my photograph, is the colour chosen for the paintwork.

Refurbishing boats, Gloucester docks

On a recent visit to Gloucester docks we noticed quite a few boats, launches, yachts etc undergoing refurbishments of one sort or another. It was a fairly typical overcast February day and on reflection I suppose it was a good time time of year to be getting everything in "ship-shape and Bristol fashion". Standing out among the muted colours of the vessels was this yacht with its bright yellow hull - a good subject to brighten up the photographic scenes in front of me.

Underneath the arches

Railway viaducts are constructions of great interest and attraction built to takes a line over a lower area, and consequently they begin and end at points of approximately equal height. The city of Worcester has such a viaduct that starts at Foregate Street Station and extends to the bridge over the River Severn. It was completed in 1859, is built of bricks and has no less than 65 arches (each numbered). In many cities railway arches were utilised as cheap workshop areas, and many are still used this way. Recently some of the Worcester arches have been developed as studios for creatives, and these in the photograph are awaiting their first tenants.
