The side tourists never see

While mooching around the net for images of lovely Cumbernauld, the Scottish town that is so ill-favoured the population want it all knocked down, I came across this touching portrayal:-

Having only a weak grasp of reality and a brief attention span I quickly lost interest in the freezing north. I was charmed instead by these wry and gentle images of the real, perennially failing but perennially plucky, urban England shot by the same opportunistic, amateur camaraman.

It’s not that they’re great art. This guy will never win any photography awards. It’s an England we all know and it still has something about it to love. I just like his point of view.
