The Criterion

31 Mar 2006

Another in my incomplete neon study.

I'd never been in this pub, which had apaprently been in operation for a hundred or so years (not sure on that, but certainly decades). Such old and unchanging establishments here tend to continue ad nauseum for the next generation(s), but in an unusual change of attitude this place didn't get a renewal on its lease and so it shut. The massive de/reconstruction happening in the block immediately behind probably had something to do with it. But hey, I'm all for redevelopment.

Anyway, despite being shut, the light was still on, and I'm glad I've managed to grab a shot before someone either flicked it off for good, or some asshole threw a rock at it.
