Beautiful to see the different window treatments in one block. First I want to stop in the bakery before it closes! Then go to that apartment (I'm guessing) upstairs at the other end, where they've added red to the windows, just in the centers of them. I imagine they have a nice fire going and I can sit in a big comfy chair near it to eat my wonderful fresh baked whatever.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea. It's actually a digital marketing agency's offices and that's their logo. Peter (below) is correct that some of the houses got stained glass in the 1930s when it was fashionable, but that's not what those particular panes are. It's also true that some of the 'above the shops' here are flats but not that particular one.
DeleteWhat a nice time of day! The sky looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, those red panes in top windows are the originals, often surrounded with panes of bright green or blue. Whole rows of terrace houses were built identically so. During the war I played behind them in my sunny, colorful, warm, safe world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo at the time to go home hour, work done.
ReplyDeleteThe bakery would definitely draw me in.
ReplyDeleteJenny, next time you drive to Bradford along Manningham Lane drop down Beamsley Road on the left. it is quite steep. If you look behind the terrace houses (76) I feel confident that all those multi-coloured window panes looking out onto the ribbon gardens will still be there. But the steam engines (chuff-chuffs!) are long gone....
