Still at the heart of Bourne, today my shot was taken on South Street which runs north through the market place before being renamed North Street.
Wellhead Park is off to the left of this shot, while Baldock's Mill is behind me.
As you can see, there are a variety of buildings along the right hand side of the street. The two brick buildings closest to me are interesting. The one with the stone around the base was once a warehouse that was converted to apartments only a few years ago.
The second brick building is a recent construction, with architectural elements that reflect details in the former warehouse, and which fits well into the street scene.
My Grandma used to live in a house that was right on the road with the narrowest of pavements on a corner. She had lorries go straight through the wall twice! The joys of quaint English towns that have had to allow the car into limited space. This scene reminded me of her. It does look a lovely place.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Sadly this attractive town is seriously affected by too much road traffic, as are so many others. There is a new link road from the main road to the south of the town to the main road to the west Hopefully one day a complete ring road might be completed, and more of the centre of the town can be redeveloped for the benifit of pedestrians.
Fortunately, the traffic here is slowing as it approaches a busy traffic light controlled junction where there is often a queue. It must have been terrible for your Grandma when the traffic came calling!

That is because I love to know as much as I can about places that I visit - particularly their history!
