Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A phrase coined by McGoohan. The opposite of areas of outstanding natural beauty such as the Surrey Hills or South Downs

I’ll start with platform 6 at East Croydon

The Thrupenny Bit building, 50p building or One Croydon building is quite synonymous with East Croydon. However, the derelict Post Office building in front of it certainly is an eyesore.

I quite like the 50p building. The derelict Royal Mail building- not so much

As far as uninteresting scenery is concerned, I've just remembered this old thread...

Gloucester town centre, especially around the bus station. Rarely has a place made such a dismal first impression on me. I thought that the place must have been destroyed by bombs. Unfortunately, I have no pictures available.

(Gloucester did suffer quite a bit of bomb damage, but this was not the reason for the town centre).

In fairness, the cathedral is quite extraordinary.

Preston Bus Station car park - at first, I thought it was an abomination but it's grown on me. And its Grade II listing is the clincher.
