| Like its fellow Cumbrian town of Ulverston, Kirkby Lonsdale has many and varied local, individual shops, full of character, as the following set of images show. This one shows G.R. & R.D. Taylor General Stores. |
 |
| Dales the traditional butchers. The pork and haggis sausages which I bought here after taking this photograph, were extremely tasty!! |
 |
| You can choose from a vast range of cheese at Churchmouse Cheeses. |
 |
| Isaacs Jewellers occupy this very old looking building. |
 |
| The Green Room cafe. Note how many of the shops have the small windows. |
 |
| Could there be two more diverse businesses? Foxy Lady Fashions and Anthony Collinge, an Optometrist. |
 |
| There is nearly always a Chinese takeaway in every town. This one is called the Silver Moon. |
 |
| The Newsagents window was full of hand written cards advertising everything from hay for sale, to a cleaner wanted. |
 |
| Possibly one of the least interesting buildings from an architectural point of view, is this one for the Edge of the World outdoor shop. Note the date of the building. |
 |
| Soooo tempting! In the sweet shop window. |
Hi Mike, like you I have an interest in photographing interesting shop fronts and I've really enjoyed seeing this set. I like the old and the moor quirky shops and always include a shot or two of the good old "English" Indian or Chinese takeaway, they are now an established part of most High Streets.
ReplyDeleteI must include some of my shops in a future posting.
I'm pleased you enjoyed this set David. I find shop fronts, especially the older ones, fascinating to photograph. Its part of our social history and needs to be recorded.
