This is a view west along Meadow Street, Weston-super-Mare, at its junction with Orchard Street (if I remember correctly). The close network of streets here, just to the east of the High Street, is I think a visually stimulating part of town with a fascinating variety of shops. That this is a modern photograph is betrayed by the traffic lights, metal shutters, cars, satellite dishes, etc, but otherwise this scene probably hasn't changed that much for a few decades. When I took the photo I didn't even notice the fine tiling that adorns the T-Shirt shop, right. I can't help feeling that the Lock & Key shop itself, its windows full of carefully displayed goods, is of a kind that is becoming increasingly rare in our towns. Saturday 14th April 2012.
