Burnley Wharf, off Manchester Road, Burnley, Lancashire, UK
Furthest from the camera is a four storey canal warehouse dating from 1841-4 which is now empty office space. The building is grade II-listed by English Heritage, and would have been used for the storage, loading and unloading of goods (mainly textiles and coal) onto narrowboats. The canal is widened here to allow the boats to turn round. The building next door, once a warehouse, was more recently a pub (The Inn on the Wharf), but has been closed and empty since Sept 2017. There were stables adjoining here for the horses which towed the boats.
Beyond the warehouse adjoining the bridge, is the former Toll and Wharf Master’s House; another Grade II listed building dating from c1850. This is now used as The Weavers’ Triangle Visitor Centre.

The loading bays on this pink warehouse building caught my eye when passing by. I'm not sure if it is derelict or not but there weren't any signs of activity on site.
One of the more interesting commissions I've had was to produce a series of A0-size panels depicting the actual production of flour at Skidby Mill. In the brief was a requirement for an image of an East Yorkshire Rulley (a horse-drawn cart used to transport bags of grain) pictured outside the old loading bay at the mill, complete with bags of grain.
There is a Rulley at Skidby, but it's tucked away in a shed and at the moment is too fragile to move, so photographing it in situ wasn't possible. I was given the one image in the museum's collection of said Rulley outside the loading bay which was taken on a cheap compact digital camera in 2007, and asked if I could "do something with that".
It certainly proved to be a challenge, as it "has to be a portrait shot, ideally with some of the tower included". So I took some shots of bags of grain at the mill along with some of the loading bay as it is now and set to work.
It took me four nights to come up with the final image. The worst bit was attemting to join up the brick wall on the left as the angles were significantly different on the 2007 image compared to the ones I took thirteen years later. The bags were individually cut out and pasted onto the Rulley; it took several attempts to get the scale looking right and I added shadows to match the lighting on the original photograph.
With it being so large, I was quite worried about how the final print would look; there is always the possibility you've missed something which will stick out like a sore thumb, particularly on a 4-foot high panel, but I have to say I was very pleased with the result.
This montage shows the various images I used along with the final result depicted on the right.
Jean Nouvel's choice of colours and heavy industrial styling reminds me of the Hacienda nightclub. May is for minimalism.
I probably wasn't supposed to have taken this one so i can't tell you where it is ; )
On a less happy note, all of these chaps are small businesses servicing the events and exhibitions market and as far as i know all of them are struggling to survive the Covid lock down. The government has made many fine promises of support for small businesses but so far, according to the ones i've spoken to, has delivered bugger all.
The parsnips remain unbuttered.
I was so overcome with excitement at the sight of these magnificent sprinkler tanks that i had to climb into the sleeper and have a little lie down for a couple of hours. Fortunately my rest was undisturbed by any sounds of activity until well after lunchtime. What better way to while away a miserable, rainy Friday morning after a 3am start, eh?
For a bit of contrast, the black and white version is here.
Stopped by an old warehouse on my way home from work. Just couldn't resist clashing the grunge of the environment with the lines of my subie.
I realise that some people may see a scene like this as an excuse for some off colour humour but i must ask you not to indulge in any cheap cracks or innuendo. This is Art, not some dirty picture taken by a moral degenerate...
Oh... Hang about...
Sam’s cool. Like… Well, yeah. Cool is a really good word. If you only just met her you’d probably think exactly that. And friendly. Jeez. But yeah, cool and friendly. I’m running in circles. I met Sam a little while back when her and my friend started seeing each other. What I said above is essentially what I thought at the time, still do. Over time she’s only gotten more so.
Her birthday was the day before I took this shot, they day I was talking about HONY with Mikey (76/365). I had been walking around Hastings-Sunrise all morning with Amy (72/365) and got a half invite to get sushi with Jessie (4/365). I was sort of busy as I was headed to the last Smash Event with Braxton (71/365) but decided to head over afterwards. A bunch of my friends were there and were planning on going to a free show at the Hindenburg for Record Store Day. During the walk over I had asked Sam if she wouldn’t mind me taking her portrait for the day. I think she may have been a bit reluctant at first but went along. We took alleyways all the way to the venue. I had been feeling really nostalgic and for me the shots were all looking amazing with light flooding in from the various shops loading bays. We did some video and met up with the rest of the group a few blocks down.
Sam had recently gone travelling and I had the chance to catch up and talk about her adventures. Some amazing things happened while she was about, including a serendipitous flight rescheduling that allowed her time with a grandmother she had never met in person. Originally the plan had been to go to Australia first but she ended up in New Zealand where she was able to connect with some relatives she only ever really got to talk to on the phone. Eventually she headed over to Australia to meet up with friends who had been working down under and spent some quality time catching up with them. Towards the end of the journey her boyfriend flew out to meet up with her as they headed to Bali and spent the last bit of the adventure enjoying the beaches and spending time with friends in what is probably one of earth’s more beautiful secrets.
While I’m envious I’m also in awe. Travel is something I’ve always wanted to do but felt that I couldn’t. Sam put it quite simply. Just do it. What’s stopping me? Social anxiety about leaving my friends behind? Job worries? Maybe, but it can all be worked out if you want it to. The conversation was a huge push for me. I hope to get out and about sometime this year thanks to Sam’s advice. Do you have any recommendations?
This site was originally planned for a Food Lion store, but the plans were cancelled and the land turned into a Circuit City and a Target. The Target still operates, but the Circuit City closed early on in a 2006 round of closures, likely due to being a small location within a stone's throw of the larger Melbourne Square Mall Circuit City. After Circuit City, it served Top Line Appliance Superstore for a few years, before shuttering again.After the redevelopment of the Merritt Island location, this is the last intact Circuit City facade in Brevard.
