Nooks and crannies....

Cheers, despite the cooler weather it was pretty busy at the cafe and exhibition, plenty of people wandering about taking photos ;)

You don't see many little places like that anymore, i've had a chat with the guy who owns it- there isn't room to swing a pair of bootlaces inside :D
 
In one word, excellent.

Excellent pictures.

Unfortunately in later episodes we didn't see much of the town, but your pictures have reassured me the place hasn't changed much.

In 1998 we nearly bought a house which sat at the top of the steps in the right hand corner,but like the steps the whole place was covered in green,we then realised the house and surroundings never really got any sunlight on them,so the place would always be cold and damp,plus access in the winter would be hard having to walk some distance on slippery cobbles etc with the shopping
 
Great pics, brought a tear to my eye. I used to take my gorgrous German Shepherd dog up to the park and run him ragged round the shelter. Happy days way back in the mid 70's.
 
Really enjoyed seeing the pictures. Thanks for posting them. Weather looks a bit lousy.

It was pretty breazy but when the sun came out it was fine. Sat in the sun on the bench opposite Sids with our dogs and had a brew-lovely.
 
Thanks for the replies, glad you like them. Here's the last few.
A couple taken from behind the church, the next one from next to Cleggys house, the old bus station and the alley next to it and the steep road from the park.
