Barking New and Old

I had a spare hour or so before talking at Barking Photographic Society, so I stopped in the town and had a browse round the Shopping Centre. Vicarage Field was opened in 1990 and has the usual mix of escalators and a splendid roof. The third and fourth images show the difference that an hour can make at twilight to images. Even in a busy shopping centre there is often a quiet spot to read.

 Barking PS holds its meeting in an Elizabethan Manor House which is managed by the National Trust and open Monday-Thursdays. It was dark by the time I got there so this is a stock photo of the building. Thanks to the club for making me very welcome in this splendid venue.
