The view down Bridge Street

On the left is Barclays Bank building. A few ago a youth leant against the door of the bank while using his mobile phone and fell in! The staff had all gone home and left the front door unlocked!

I parked my car against the wall of Warwick castle around the back streets and walked down towards Lord Leycester Hospital. I couldn't believe it when I saw a traction engine climbing the hill on The High Street. I legged it all the way to the other end of the street as the only chance i had of a shot was if it stopped at the traffic lights. However the driver slowed right down in order to avoid stopping and crawled towards the lights until they turned green. I got my shot but its blurred! The engine is a Fowler built in 1931. If I ever get another chance I'll replace this shot!

Warwick

Lord Leycester Hospital. Built in the latter part of the 14th Century. More recently it was used for filming scenes from episodes of a Doctor Who series.
