This is what left the visible physical world at about 3pm yesterday. The two concrete spiral staircases were my favourite bit. Going to do a run of C-Type prints of this if anyone is interested. Not my best in terms of quality, but it’s does that thing it needs to do.

The reason it’s not up to my usual standard are several. It was midnight, I was trespassing, I had been in the pub for ‘a while’ beforehand. I was out of puff because I am portly and I had to climb over barriers. Shortly afterwards security told me to go away, which was funny.

Today’s Anglia Square interlude (imagine a death metal version of The Gallery theme from Vision On while looking at these) first spiral staircase has gone. It was emotional.

A few more from the demolition of Anglia Square from the day before yesterday. Two wings left now. It’s a very strange and quite a sad sight for anyone who lives in this area and even vaguely understands the community.

Ash Sakula did an alternative set of plans to the ones the original developer produced. These are quite nice. And Eco too. www.ashsak.com/projects/ang...

This is a poor part of the city, the centre served a lot of people with limited means, and those who really lacked access to transport; it had cheap cafes, someone to sit outdoors out of the rain, several discount stores, and a cinema. The architecture was in places staggeringly brilliant.

It was a very run down, with loads of derelict bits, but the shopping centre functioned as a hub and meeting spot. We won’t get that back, and what they build will probably not be what we need, which is affordable housing and a community space.

Little treat. Was searching for some filler images for a book I'm working on. Found these I shot in 2018 at St Michael and All Angels Barton Turf. One of my favourite Rood Screens. These are a mix of 15th-century saints and angels. Quite incredible things.

The lift motor housing on Sovereign House collapsed backwards into the roof.

Until this moment, I had completely forgotten the absolutely vast crush I had on Maggie Philbin when I was 12.

Grumbling has got the British nowhere, ever. The French are correct.

I haven’t really been sharing the Anglia Square demolition photos on here. But they’ve started on Sovereign House now, so here’s a few.

Did a selfie I don’t detest. Probably because I was quite far away from me.

I’ve learnt over the years to just buy several of the same thing. Trying to find things like things that no longer exist anymore is a problem, if you’re me anyway. I hate to think how many pairs of identical dealer boots I’ve got through.

I appreciate she’s clearly the expert on British food, but that’s not gravy he’s eating with pie and mash, it’s Licqor.

Saw my first Poppy Roundabout today lads. Just off the A1. We shall remember them, but make sure you indicate and give way.

I see they’ve appointed a new White House Press Secretary already.

Should have called the bombing of Yandex the Ram Busters. Here all week, try the chicken.
