Loughborough backstreets ~ 27

A view of the rear of the Market Street shops from the Carillon Shopping Centre car park.

Access was "your flexible friend" in the UK, a credit card that was available until 1996. How good that this sign still remains.

I thought about straightening the top of this shot, but decided to leave the bowing roof just as it is.

I remember the old access cards. In fact, my mum still says "Oooh, I must pay my access bill"!!

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

Love the variations of monotone and lines in this shot!

Another enjoyable trip down memory lane, Sean.

[Debbie]

Well spotted.

Interesting! Nice capture

[Ken "Tasian"]

Great window shot...and the info on the card is very interesting.

[Danny G.]

Nice composition

[Ross Walker]

Sort of a modern "ghost sign" and a bit of commercial history.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Haven't seen an 'Access' logo for years!
Still see the Switch one around though.

[Paula W]

Interesting to see how styles have changed, the writing on the Access sign looks so outdated. Well spotted Sean.

[Call me Joe]

[David]

Was it 18 years ago? I'm sure I was still using mine last month!

[Andy Roe]

Had an access card once - took me ages to pay off a large purchase!!
I do like the brickwork in this shot - I have no idea which 'bond ' the pattern is!!
