From Grantham we moved on to Stamford, which is apparently where the BBC TV series Cranford was filmed. The town seemed more prosperous tha Grantham had looked.
The approach was olde worlde but the High Street was a bit more modern. I might have expected Deco like this at the western end of the High Street:-
However on Broad street was a fine example of the style:-
It has a lovely rounded facade and original style glazing. Pity about not being able to get a photo with no street furniture in the way. That lamp post!
Central looks like it was once a cinema but now it’s a nightclub. At least it’s getting used.
I noticed it just after photographing the War Memorial, which is on the other side of Broad Street, set into the wall of quite an imposing building.
A couple more photos of Stamford are on my flickr.
