  3. Firstly, the photograph is just terrific. The top third is fascinating architecturally but it is the signage that really makes it outstanding.

    Then I try to fit the quote in. Knowing you, you have paired them quite fastidiously. But for the life of me, I cannot pick it.

    Now I await sharper intellects than mine, to get to the core of this.

    Pretty good post, I reckon.

  4. Good to see the noble art of tripe dressing has not died out in my homeland. I hope you managed to taste some.

  5. Julie, hm, perhaps it is all about the insecurity of the non-native speaker when reading such company labels? :-) Yes, the architecture is unique, I like this wood panelled buildup.

    Chicken, kobico, what are you talking about???

    ;-)

    AB, me? The veggie?

  7. kobico, ah, I didn't get the "frilly" - because I didn't really know how tripe looked like :-). That is a very dangerous blog you linked :-) (no 318 in my feedreader now, puh) thx!

  8. Loic, yes, opposite the short side of the market in Lindsey Street. It's hard to see in this photo that there is a second row of houses behind the tripe dresser's shop with a small passage between the two rows.
