The Old Bank Theatre/Matrix House



The Old Bank Theatre/Matrix House, originally uploaded by spinneyhead.

My new route to work offers me a lot of interesting buildings to
photograph. And I’m walking, so I can stop to shoot more easily.

They were sequentially numbering the bricks on the back wall of this
building whilst diggers stirred the rubble of whatever had been next door.
I’m not sure what that means for the Old Bank’s future.


Flemish Weaver

A new phrase recently entered my vocabulary- estate pub. If you’ve ever
seen an estate pub the name clicks instantly. The Flemish Weaver* is such
an establishment, and one of the more basic designs. Further down the road
is the Woolpack, which is currently in one of the other natural states for
an estate pub- boarded up and scary looking.

*Or Lemish Weave. I imagine a lemish weave being a combined wig and fake
beard which makes you look like the lead singer of Motorhead.
