Ken's Wanderings

A number of us are recording the redevelopment of the Market Hall and we can get access to the Hall as the changes take place.  You can see lots more on my flickr archive account - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ken_davis_archive/sets/72157627702794388/ Here is a photo from before the time the project started of the Trophy stall in the main hall: Here is a photo in the same area after the stall holders all left: and now the demolition is underway: in late December it's full of scaffolding:

On a visit to Hanley a few months ago I wandered past Falcon Pottery that was one of hundreds of working pot banks when I lived in Stoke in the 1960's and like the majority it is now a dilapidated shell.

We had an educational and enjoyable holiday in Normandy in June 2012.  This is a photograph of the Church of Joan of Arc, a recently built church that has striking and effective architecture.  Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in this city by the English but what needs to be remembered is she was condemned by a French court!  It's a long and involved story!

I've recently added a Leica M3 to the collection and tested it with a B&W and Colour Negative film, these shots are from this series. These women are waiting for the Number 25 and the reflection was in a Number 1A! The girls were eating lunch in the Peace Gardens in Sheffield
