Yarnolds, Tamworth summer 1989

It looks like I was in Tamworth for a sporting event - most likely a town centre circuit race for bikes, from the evidence of barricades and a few spectators. Otherwise, a running event.

 

As yet, I don't know which street in this historic former capital of the Kingdom of Mercia that this gorgeous building is. I visited the town again in 2010 and missed seeing what had happened to the shop fascia, as Yarnolds is a chain I've not glimpsed for a good many years. There was a branch in my home town of Wolverhampton, though.

I returned to Tamworth in April 2012 and must have missed the building again!
