Random Thoughts

Being often random as i am sometimes. I was driving into Oldham tonight and thought i would snap this. Its the old building on the corner of Union Street and King Street.
Now we all know it used to be a nightclub, snooker hall etc etc with allsort of various names such as Froggies, Romeo and Juliets, Butterflies. but isn't it a shame that it is first thing you see when entering a town from the Ashton direction. Nothing has happened to this building for a number or years now and i think the tram has a lot to do with it. This is where it would have passed so the regeneration was put back when we failed to get the tram coming through the town. Anyway there you go. 1 more day of getting up at 4am then i am off for 5 days yippeeee.








On another note. If you can still see the smoke coming form the Oldham area well its because they are still dampening down the Maple mill.
Interesting seeing the steel girders all bent and twisted.

  2. For some reason the mobile shrinks the res when i post on the move. These are taken off the phone and uploaded via pc. Will have a play to see why this is so. Glad you are enjoying them.

  3. The building on the corner of Union Street was where I saw a little known Liverpool band called 'the Beatles' in about 1962!
