Friday My Town: Historic

The history of my town is pretty much founded on textile and fashion industry. So for the FMTSO Historic theme I’ll pick some of my photos from our Textile Museum.

Friday My Town: Hidden Niches

  

This was a difficult theme for me this week. I’ve not had opportunity to be out and about much, there are very icy and unfriendly winds blowing outside anyway and people are withdrawing to their indoors hidden corners. I also have no tags in my photo archives that fit this theme.

However, above are two suggestions from the recent Home & Garden Fair – which can’t really be called hidden since the whole idea of a fair is to expose things; and although they may be doing their best to look like quiet spots, the whole thing was really an extremely noisy affair!

I also recalled the window niches in our old Town Hall/ Courthouse. They’re hidden in the sense that most people never go inside this building. I’ve been there a couple of times on Open House days with guided tours though.

And since this is not just any Friday but Good Friday:

The niche behind the altar in the oldest church in town;
a church where I have a few times participated in all of the liturgical Easter services, from “Last Supper” Thursday to “Emmaus” Monday. Together they constitute a whole drama; and the Midnight Mass between Easter Eve and Easter Sunday is one in itself.

More hidden niches will be revealed here:

Happy Easter

it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly

Ruby Tuesday: Doors and Windows

A “new old” building. Some years ago the old wooden building was to be repaired but when they started the job they found it to be in such a bad state that it came to be replaced by a new “look-alike” building. I’m glad they kept the old style though, we have very few old wooden buildings in the town centre because of big fires back in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
