In the area where we were staying in Telford is Ironbridge and it's famous Ironbridge. Nothing to report here apart from the fact that it was raining hard and it would be a really nice place to go when it's nice and sunny, which it wasn't, so it was quite a dreary place to be in some ways. After this it was off to the tile museum to look at… tiles.

Telford is a strange place. It's a big concrete town surrounded by little villages and a shed load of roundabouts. Just off from the monolithic shipping centre is this rather strange geometric park full of kids playgrounds, a small boating lake, a thing called Wonderland and this oriental garden called the Maxell Cherry gardens. Here's just a bit of it.

Here's the pub the Wickets Inn which is in Wellington a few miles from Telford. The trip here was to check the place out since on a census there appears to be my Great Great Grandfather staying there. In what capacity he was there is unknown, however since he was a Licenced Victualler on the census (an Inn Keeper) then it's pretty likely that he would have run the place.
Perhaps since the place is up To Let for rent as a business, then one of his descendants could take it over to run... or then again perhaps not.

Last few days have been spent in and around Telford. Here's Shrewsbury’s church. I must admit that day I didn't much feel like taking pictures even though the place was wonderful, so here's the best I could do, and it doesn't really look very good.

In the Art Gallery in Manchester there is an interactive section that the kids love. This secyion is a half room (more like a cubby hole) of mirrors where my Daughter was dancing; I thought it was a nice abstract snap. I couldn’t find a way to stop the DV5 using the flash so my finger was over the flash to stop it ruining the picture. This then stretched the exposure and we get blur. All the other pictures were with flash and were over exposed and an exact moment in time, which made them all a little a bit stark and horrible. I must admit the DV5's flash isn't it's best feature because it's difficult to get picures right with it. However that's OK because it's not an expensive camera, I don't like flash photography and it's really a video camera.

This is the last time I take a picture of this building I promise; otherwise it'll look like I'm stalking the building. I had to go into work on Saturday and so I took my camera and since the building looked taller than usual I snapped another couple of pics. Here's one. I'll stop now I know you're bored.

Here's a picture I took many years ago in print form on (believe it or not) Christmas Day. Both times I took the picture I've been prompted by the person I was with to take it. It shows quite well I think the many styles of building in Manchester I think you'll agree.
This time the picture was taken a little to further towards Princess Street because I'm standing right outside the doors to the Town Hall, whereas last time I was further towards Peter's Square.
