Texture Tuesday & Shutter Sisters ~ The Look Down Edition

Communal Global ~ ATW Tuesday

 
Today, let me take you on a little tour of one of our local towns.
This is Crewe ~ a railway town, and a place best known as a large railway junction and home to Crewe Works, which was for many years a major railway engineering facility for manufacturing and overhauling of trains, but is now very much reduced in size. From 1946 until 2002 it was also the home of Rolls-Royce motor car production. The Pyms Lane factory, on the west of the town, now produces Bentley motor cars exclusively.
These are pictures I took on-commission for my brother-in-law, who has set up his own 'urban renewal' business (Urban Flow), with a partner - and they needed some fresh images for their website and publications. What a privilege!
 This is some of one set that I took.
