This shot I took a while ago now but I couldn't decided which section I felt it sat best in, in the end I thought the basic idea of it being an abandoned bike which sat for about a week in this position meant the logical chose was to place it in this section. Don't know what happened to it in the end but its gone now, most probably the scrap man had it but its a mystery. Maybe not a great photo but there's something about it that makes it a possible.

Although this building looks abandoned in actual fact it isn't its a full working factory located on the edge of the village. I took it the other month when we had some snow mainly because i made it look even more abandoned with the snow piled in the chairs and the boards up at the windows only increase this feeling and look. Unfortunately the foot prints in the snow kind of spoil the effect and I'm not sure about the angle either but still a interesting shot.

What this images has going for it is that it fits in well with the theme running through the photos I originally presented for this section. What it shows is the village garage up for sale, don't know the reason behind this whether for financial reasons or whether the lease has simple ran out. Either way it'd be another major loss if it closes down because it'd mean having to travel into the nearest town of either Lichfield or Burton on Trent to get any work done which isn't helpful as this would mean a twenty to half an hour journey. What I like about this shot most is that the texture of the door and the dirtiness really shows up well giving a strong sense of realism, a definite possibility in my final selection.

Yet more evidence of the difficulties on modern farms, this is one of two barns that aren't actually near a farm but instead located out in the fields. The one barn completely collapsed when all the slate was stolen from the roof many years ago while this example has unfortunately just become increasingly run down until it to has begun to fall down after the last two winter. Its a shame because you don't seem to find these kind of structures anywhere else in the area so it's like the area is losing some of its unique heritage yet few seem to care.
