Estate Trading

Squeezing the last out of the 2011 photos. A sudden reinvigorating burst of camera after a couple of empty months.

I’ve always found The Faircharm unsatisfactory to photograph somehow. Possibly a clue is in the name. Somebody with a deep sense of irony must have thought that one up. What is there to like? So this is for the record. More new flats (Greenwich High Rd) in the background. An loads of banners telling us what it is.

I like the idea of the tide indicators that light-up ‘high’ or ‘low’ depending on the tide. But it is a statement of the bleeding obvious because to see the indicators you have to be looking at the creek anyway… fair enough though, it’s art.

I can’t remember the real name for this derelict trading estate just off Norman Road… I’m guessing the Norman Road Trading Estate. Now here, on the other hand, what is there not to like? I’m itching to get in there and photograph it in more detail. There may be guard dogs though, it looks that kind of place. Teeth…

This building is in a row that has been subject to serial arson attacks. Or they just spontaneously combust, coincidental to the fact that new build is going up all around them. A shame, because I love the colour of the brick here. Never replicated by the Barrett home replacements.
