Ladybird Artists Advent Calendar, window 15 ‘Christmas Time’ Artist: Ronald Lampitt

This is an incredible building and everyone should visit it at least once in their lives. From a time when architecture showed real civic pride.

The Paddock pub, Cross Lane, Salford, 1977 The same year, this pub became a stopping off point to Old Trafford with my dad. My gran was exactly like the lady in the photo. Headscarf and heavy duty coat, all year round. 📷 Phil Portus

If you remember these, you’re old as fuck.
