Another photo shot on my Voigtländer Vito B camera, that's almost 70 years old (I did say SEVENTY).
This is Front Street Arnold, Nottingham, part of our main shopping High Street. All these buildings are empty and are a sad reflection of today's High Street. I'm sure it is a scene seen in many towns and cities in the UK.
I think the last turn to appear at the "Working Mans Club" was in 2015 !!! FYI : For none UK readers a "turn" is an act / performer / entertainer .
It's a great 'vintage' shot from a 'vintage' camera and captures some of the feel of places of the past with so many stories to tell. And it's a scene repeated everywhere, not just in the UK.
Some of our abandoned urban neighborhoods are being revitalized with breweries of craft beer, restaurants and clubs and condos. Maybe it will happen in Nottingham.
Interesting seeing your film experiments. I often look at this kind of scene and think what a mess humans make. Wonder where the pride in architectural design and care of property has gone.
A wonderful composition with the various blocks.
Your vintage camera takes great photos!
It's not only in the Uk, we have streets with empty shops here too :-(
I hear you. It is the same everywhere. A small town near me, called Calavorno, used to be a busy place with all sorts of shops. Now only the bar survives. I like your capture though, it speaks volumes. Fav.
A thought-provoking, telling and sad capture. Yes, all too common now; high streets seem mostly to accommodate various types of refreshment establishments and little else now. It doesn't help that the proprietors of the little, independent businesses that would give high sts. a new lease of life can't afford the rents that local councils charge for the shops.
