The Crescent

A fine row of old houses, now used as offices, hair dressing salons & clinics.
The office I am working in this coming week is just behind these buildings.

Coffee on the Estate...

Another shot from Dillington House.

I don't know what someone was doing walking up the drive with a coffee but I am pretty sure that this is not what the architects had in mind for the pillar!

Dillington House

Sadly it was my last day at Dillington House today, back to HQ tomorrow then down to Exchange House in Taunton from next Tuesday for a few days. Hopefully by then the new offices in Quantock House will have been fitted out & we will have desks & computers. There is even rumoured to be a kettle on the way!
I'll believe it when I see it...

Taunton Town Charity

Taunton Town Charity on Magdalene Street.

A building that deserves a better photographer than me but hey, I'm all you have!

Anything that provides good, affordable housing for the oldsters has got to be a good thing in my book, just waiting for the good affordable housing for us (relative) youngsters now!

Post Office

The main Post Office building on North Street. Lots of hoohar (sp?) about the government planning to close another 2000 or so post offices as they are losing money on them hand over fist. No surprise when you can't do much else other than buy a stamp there. Things like buying a TV Licence you just can't do at the post office anymore, silly really.

Anyway, I am not sure when this was built but their is a really old doorway behind the castle that was apparently taken from the 'old' post office so I guess this is the new one. Judging by the architecture it has to be 1920 - 1939 or so to fit in with the Art Deco feel of the place. Might have a closer snoop around tomorrow.

Oh and do you see the pigeon? They get everywhere, not just on this blog!
