Still on my walk-about of Darlington. Thank goodness they are under new management. What did it look like before? PS. Darlington is actually a really nice place! It concerns me that I may be painting a fairly drab picture!

I like the sharp crisp detail and colours. I can't really tell if the place is functioning as a business or not!

@Michael Skorulski: Definitely closed! I don't recall ever seeing it open actually.
Another great image.

@Alun Lambert: Cheers Alun.
i always love those shades of green that for some reason only seem to exist on and around doors! they seem pretty emphatic about the 'new' management - the 'old' management must have really made a name for themselves...

The ambition of owning an emporium that never quite made it. Good framing Rhys and another excellent one to your docu-collection.

This one, in particular, I can see how it would have had a certain charm in its better days ... there's a bit of finer detail in its trim. What I notice here also (which I didn't notice in the previous shots) is how narrow the sidewalks are ... the scale is almost petite. In American English, "the filling station" would be the gas (petrol) station. Terrific image and series, Rhys!

belle atmosphère.

The new management doesn't seem very active.

Nice picture and great series. This picture has a malencholic feeling, but there is also some irony with this "new management"... It's almost black humour if you think about the previous owners and try to imagine how they came to lose their property to this new, entrepreneurial management...

I guess the potatoes put on their jackets and left in a hurry after meeting the new management. This shot just makes you think about the story that goes with it,a good thinking mans shot !!
