Tender and delicate just about sums it up...

I can well imagine you are feeling like a caged lion.......when you have been busy and doing all of your life, it is hard to sit back and let others do the things you know you could do just as well(or even better) if fate didn't lumber you with an imposed bodily frailty.
Hang in there Sue......and keep your chin up.

Oh, dear I appear to have missed the end of competition 4 and didn't vote! Had a bit of a cold but more importantly husband had "man-flu" (same thing I had but his was far more serious!) and he was very demanding.... Well done Gremlin -nice topic for number five.

Most if not all building have been designed by an architect, new or old and I am sure that some new building will have some interesting features so why not include them when you find one.

I had to go to Accrington today and it is amazing what you see above ground floor level on some of the older building, there are great windows and little columns etc.
I was sat in the solicitors and noticed on one building opposite had a big stone with "Burtons Buildings" carved on it.

Keep on posting photos, however old the architecture is.

Was this the place you saw, Gremlin? The Montague Burton Chambers. Nice building -Accy is full of them if you look around! See attachment.

Yes, that is the building but the stone I saw was on the side near to the NatWest bank, opposite Ackland Bond solicitors.

The photo is of the side of the building, you can see the Town Hall on the edge of the photo which is opposite the front. There is a carved stone saying Burtons above the little side door which if I'm not mistaken in my younger days was the entrance to the Elite snooker club?
