This is a local bank in Chester, England. MY bank does not look like this. As in, not the slightest little bit. I am going to print out this photo and show it to the bank manager, because he has some major renovations to do and he needs to get on it. (image JayT47 on beautyineverything.com)

Oak Corner in Rye, East Sussex, England. This is near the bottom of Mermaid Street, if you’re walking uphill; and Trader’s Passage branches off to your right. Oak Corner was originally built in the eleventh century, partially destroyed by the French-set fire of Rye in 1377, and rebuilt in 1490. It’s now privately owned by some
jammy bastardvery fortunate person.See the little sign on the side that says TRADER’S PASSAGE? There’s a June 28th post of Trader’s Passage in the Archives and IT IS SO GORGEOUS. I am not making this up. Daves Portfolio (no apostrophe in Daves) on flickr
The Smallest House in Great Britain, also known as the Quay House, resides on the quay in Conwy(a walled market town on the north coast) Wales. Built in the 16th century, and inhabited until 1900, the residence is 3 metres by 1.8 metres (10 foot by 6 foot) in size. (You can visit for £2.50.) The Welsh lady stands outside most days, according to the sources I perused, although no one seems to know why. (image by LSessions on beautyineverything)

Fraserburgh lies at the extreme northeast corner of Aberdeenshire, which is a unitary council (something like a county) that lies in northeast Scotland. (Scotland is divided into 32 designated council areas.) Aberdeenshire is the locus of a large number of Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological sites, BTW. So hurry on up there with your trowel and dig, or satiate your sea lust with the marshmallow-spun turquoise foam of the North Sea crashing around the harbour lighthouse. (T.
