Huge structures do it for me.<\/h2>\n

Visually that is…<\/p>\n

I first saw Preston’s bus station in the 70’s, and it was probably the biggest thing I’d seen at that point – Clitheroe doesn’t have many huge buildings!<\/p>\n

Huge!<\/h2>\n

It’s the shape and majesty of the thing – the curved edges, the ribbed\u00a0reinforcement\u00a0bars, the unchanging pattern along the length of the car park…<\/p>\n

On seeing the Culture Show’s report about proposed the closing and demolition of the building, I decided to pop over and capture some images, just in case I never saw it again.<\/p>\n

Timeless<\/h2>\n

Here they are – timeless in black and white, apart from the buses, these image could have been taken any time in my lifetime.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the Photos
