Lincoln Street , Old Basford

This is Lincoln Street, Old Basford.

You've seen this building before on my 365, from Nottingham Road (the little street down the side of the picture)

It forms part of an ice cream factory (Federici Bros) although I think this bit of the factory is disused. It's also an old bank as can be seen from the 'Midland Bank' sign above the ground floor boarded window.


Shot and edited on my mobile phone.

Great b&w

If this is part of an ice cream factory, I'm in. One of my favorite things. Your b&w are always striking.

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens thank you kerri

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Really cool shot phil

[Sue Wilde]

Perfection in the composition...now here's the challenge...can you clone out the wire (personally I wouldn't bother as I'm a bit of a believer that what's there is what's there, but my head knows that it should be done)

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde ha ha sue, mobile phone editors don't appear to have a clone tool, although maybe I've not found it !

[Phil Howcroft]

@steveh cheers steve :)

[Juliette Packham]

great shot Phil, what a great building - love the edit too!

[Maggiemae]

Very nice HDR photo - very picturesque instead of ordinary!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Wow, wonder why they didn't build three stories beside it. Cool shot.

[Hazel Watkins]

Great composition and I like the processing.

[Al Bailey]

Super composition and I like the processing too :)

The bottom bit looks like my Dad's corner shop! So well captured.

@busylady thank you judith :)

@willowdragon cheers Al, just a few taps and swipes on my mobile :)

@haze65 thanks hazel, the upright vertical of the building made the composition easy to do :)

@sailingmusic maybe money was tight back in the day , so they couldn't afford to build sideways :)

@maggiemae glad you like this mono maggie :)

@sparkle Juliette , the building is a photographers dream :)

[Allison Williams]

What a great choice for a picture. Love the gritty effect and the B&W on this tall narrow building. Very atmospheric.

[Lee]

If this building could talk what a tale it would tell! Proper gritty image. Good one.

[Judith Johnson]

Love this one Phil, great black and white shot.

@busylady thanks judith i really like this too, not bad for a mobile shot :-)
