Odd stuff

[AY Mod]

A place to drop oddities in seen around the country.

 

Yesterday I drove past an old canalside cinema in Measham. Leics - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.705212,-1.5081827,3a,60y,343.37h,84.38t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHT1fcJU9ZEuONkddI7CgSw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

 

Apparently it seated 350 people, a bit of a crush I'd say!

The two buildings just up the hill, on either side of the road are interesting too. A very ornate end wall, with matching big arches on the front walls.

Two from me. First a magnificently disreputable garage at Llanrug. North Wales

 

Second 'straight outta Compton' , a lock up shop at Borth on the Cambrian coast.

That is the type of shop that I used to search for in the past. Often you could find some 'new old stock' toys and models tucked away in a back corner or rear storeroom. I found one here in a South Oz country town back in the mid seventies that had Dublo rolling stock and early bagged Airfix kits still marked with pre-decimal prices (Oz went decimal in 1966).
