Stunning pics Cardiff. There looks to be some quality examples of new architecture there.

Not too sure about the overladen flower basket stands though.

(Apologies if posted before)

Well they are really huge and personally i dont like them, but something needs to be done to St Marys street during the transition period to part pedestrianisation. The Eisteddford is in Cardiff in a few weeks / days so i think its like sticking a plaster over a spot (or in this case over the mis mash of paving and signage etc.) by making people look up and see the great architecture along st Marys street.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j217/hellagood88/Album%206/DSCF9077.png

Nice shot there Hella. I really hope that something gets done to make that whole area more attractive as it has some of the best old buildings in the city down there!

Dunno where to put this but it's something that's rally making me wonder:

Anyone notice these metal curbs around town? can't seem to find anything on the web, they're quite curious things...

could be something to do with the old railways? Lots of the railways in Switzerland have toothed rails like this for extra purchase on inclines and for very heavy loads when engines where not that powerful!

Great pics by the way.

^^it looks like it, what with those ones being by the docks... but you see them in the middle of some (very) old residential areas.

Just back from visiting Glasgow for the first time in many years,
And have just given it my vote.
Very impressed with it's look downtown.
the hilly streets looked great -didnt fancy walking up them though !!

Properly focused shot of Trinity,

Cool pic. I didn't imagine though that Glasgow would be one of those cities who let lose the anti ciggie zealots, but just look where that poor sod has had to go just to have a cig in peace!

:lol: Afraid so.

Fucking hell, Glasgow's brilliant. Why didn't I ever live there when I was younger? :cry:

lovely area, reminds me alot of Bristol and bath. Is that stone really that colour or is it the sunset as its really similar to bath stone.

wow, still a lot of smokers in Leeds! hehe :P good pics though, is it just up a back alley? no pun intended. one thing Glasgow doesn't have is a designated gay 'quarter'.

got lots of these though ...i just long for a bungalow. well, not really.

It was the Leeds Half Marathon. The other big race is the Leeds 10k in July.

Fair play, that guy does well at his age.How old is he and, who is he?

who is he?? only the legend that is Jimmy Saville - who I notice none of the Leeds forumers have included in the '5 most important contributions to the world' thread - shame on you :nono:

just looked him up and he's 81.

Rather large yawn at all this tiresome drivel. In terms of current street scape my vote has to go to Glasgow, although it is evident that all the major Cities in the UK have some stunning urban areas ... sadly most have also been blighted by bombs and dodgy planning decisions. Having just trawled through most of this thread may I offer a big thank you for all the photographs posted ... truly enjoyable.

Cut the crap, folks.

Rant all you like in the city bashing thread, not here.

I agree, marvel at Glasgow or get tae...;)

Seeing as it was such a nice day in Manchester yesterday, I decided to nip into town, and get some shots.

Fantastic pics of Manchester

excellent pics, LOVE this one
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f111/chameleontel/DSC00564.jpg

woahh some well good pics. and it wernt raining either! :P

lovely pics, seems the area around the river looks alot better since i went with those pics being the best.

The art on Urbis looks terrible- simply because of it's execution. Why on earth did they not do it in the same colour? It's a very good idea but completely doesn't work with white.

Its manchester's answer to some big urban art contest i think, several other cities around the world are taking part, so i dont know if it's suppose to relate to the urbis or not, urbis is just being used as the canvas. I think.

Great pics. I was treated to a fine meal in that back alley restaurant thing by the good folks at URBED a few years back.

Some excellent Manchester shots ... they give a real feel for the City.

The sort of company i aspire to work for URBED. Or some shit like that.

Just give them a call and go and see them? Top folk they are, nice and approachable.

:cheers:

Deffo. But i'll wait till i've finished my degree. :)

what degree are you taking?

It's obvious, Kids is taking a performing arts degree :| ;)

I didn't think i was that dramatic.

Close though. It's History of Art Sebo.

I didn't think you were at all Kids :dunno: :?

hmm. well maybe you think i dress in all black and sing all the time?

I have the slight feeling you've gotten the wrong end of the stick :doh:

lol, nah, no stick. I guess i'm too dry to do sarcasm.

I actually hate performing arts students (no offense if you're a performing arts student), but only 'cos i'm their antithesis, although i'll probably end up marrying one.

good one!

Hopefully Tony. But i'm not too fussy.



^^ Not a good one.

lol, nah, no stick. I guess i'm too dry to do sarcasm.

i'll say! :doh:

One of the things that struck me was how clean the city looked, compared to only a few years back. Thank goodness it`s getting its act together in this respect. It makes a huge difference, especally in the eyes of visitors/tourists.

Cool video, cant help thinking that they are playing to their target audiance though lol i can say that as the first purpose built bingo hall was in Cardiff!

is that right? So we had the UK's first mosque, and the UK's first bingo hall? And we didn't win European Capital of Culture!? Shocking!

is that right? So we had the UK's first mosque, and the UK's first bingo hall? And we didn't win European Capital of Culture!? Shocking!

Liverpool also claims to have the first mosque,still can't see why that alone would make anyone CoC myself though? Maybe I'm confused and it's England's?

Er...the first purpose-built mosque in Britain is in Woking.The Shah Jahan Mosque.

Nobody said it had to be purpose built. ;)

Liverpool's was the first in England, predated in the UK by ones in Cardiff and Glasgow, I think.

here's the info on Liverpool's first mosque. I am pretty sure that it was the UK's first... dig out the info for your claims and see? :)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/heritage/england/liverpool/

Not according to this. First mosque in Cardiff in 1860....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4261292.stm

The Liverpool article states "England's first". It wouldn't be beyond the bounds of possibility for other sources to have picked up this fact and along the way replace "England" with "UK", being as they are so often used synonymously.

Ah we are down to semantics again! Im looking at Sheffield here ;)

blah blaH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Nice pics of Cardiff and Liverpool! Both look luvverly!

Cheers for those Cardiff, I don't know that city very well s oits good to see some. Are those the terrible Arriva trains in the station? I can relate to them :ohno:

I'm all for bigging up Swansea, but I think including a photo of Paddington station is goin a little overboard...!

Oops sorry, have taken it off! lol I try to avoid arriva

I think Swansea is great and that new tower is a fine one!

I like this one.

That forst shot goes to show what a great range of older buildings Liverpool has, but also what some trees would do to brighten the street up (similar to St Marys street in Cardiff in that respect).

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh78/danlad/buildings/leeds1.jpg

Can i ask Wiggleyleeds when did you take this picture this year or last year.

its not this year lol - altho lights have already gone up in leeds this year

Thanks for the news cheers mate, ill wait until a bit later on before i start the Christmas street light display villages , towns and cities post. I know sad.

just admit it, u want to be the big sparkely fairy on top of the christmas tree :) lol

lol no just like them. My local council HQ at Christmas each year has quite an impressive display something new each time. Not cheap a new pole mounted dec with L.E.D will put you back around £1000 per item.

Ultraviolet posted a load of Birmingham photos, beware some are not streetscapes but nice anyway :)

Birmingham's canals are beautiful:) The areas near the Beetham need some love though.

Agreed although there is a certain shall we say 'gritty' charm to them.

I'm not averse to a bit of brutalism, think Trinity Centre, Gateshead.

I like the brutalism buildings, it's the shitty flat pack buildings I don't like!

Brutalist buildings should be smashed down.

There aren't many brutalist buildings I can claim to like:ohno:

I like some, like the central library however others like the infamous fourth corner of Holloway Circus (last pic) should be killed.

Yeah the library is quite distinctive, it would look great with a refurb. The Anderston Centre in Glasgow is just vile though:ohno:

The superstructure won't be missed. Roll on the next phase of it's regeneration.

Great streetscene!

They're also going to squeeze the 630,000 sq ft 83m commercial behemoth that is Bothwell Plaza between the two buildings on the left side of the picture.

83m? I didn't realise it was going to be that tall. What height is the Pinnacle?

Yep, that's the height mate, just imagine that full glass facade coming over the bridge. The Pinnacle is 61m I think.

Cheers for the info mate.:)

I finally figured out how to post photos now, so I'm going to scoure the net for some beauties:happy:

I love Carlisle, it should get far more appreciation. Good stuff:)

carlisle is a lovely town, used to visit there all the time when i was little, parents used to drive there from gateshead on a saturday. remember shoplifting a desperate dan annual from a carlisle bookshop when i was about 6 years old, unintentionally of course. :lol:

Naturally, it just fell into your pocket:lol: Yeah, we used to visit Carlisle too, so great living in that part of the world, Tyneside, with easy access to Cumbria, the north Pennines, County Durham and Northumberland with all her charm.

Here's a good one, is this ok Boards?:)

http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr63/Indiekid_bucket/Chapple_ad_sm.jpg

its pretty good Indie. see page 125 for the standard we expect ;)

Glad you all like the pics. Yeh, this is a nice part of the world. Untouched by mainstream tourism which is good.

Whitehaven - this is an old georgian town on the irish sea - last time i checked you could get one of these houses at the edge of the world for under £200,000.

what happened to quality control (no offence magggie)?:banned:

I like it. Outside, now...Kinda brings home the vastness of Bothwell Plaza which will three times the size and sitting on the site next to it.

I wasnt really meaning that (though i do think its pish), just that we could have waited till the scaffold was down and the sun is out. silly ;)

The sun? I only have one lifetime.

sunset at least then :lol: Bothwell St is great for capturing and tunneling the setting sunlight... anyway.. i digress.

Its never going to win any awards, but its still fairly decent. One of the few buildings which manages too look nicer in real life than the renders:)

By the way, I've emailed Charles Price telling him his next project should be a 190m skyscraper. Sorted;)

It reminds me of buildings around Callaghan square in Cardiff

About those 2 churches on the Great Western Road (?), is one Cathaolic and one Proddy and they had a who had the biggest spire fight?

The Beresford is like the campest building ever! A gay man's dream to live in:lol:

There's not many cities which can match Glasgow's variety in architecture:D

Its a fantastic Art-Deco (Streamline Moderné if Longford is looking) beauty. I'd live there.


Eer..

Actually most cities can match Glasgows Variety of buildings, some Victorian, some Deco, some Modernist, some po-mo, bit of Georgian.

It's just Glasgow has good examples of all... And the City center is primary undamaged victorian.

I've seen camper buildings...

In Bristol Bath that would be butch.

Oh really?

Took a few in Leeds city centre yesterday. Being used to the shopping experience in Liverpool and Manchester... I was somewhat taken aback.

I left my car in the multi storey and stepped out into this...

http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/mcqwerty_album/IMG_5882.jpg

One of those famous arcades - just off the main shopping thoroughfare, Briggate - a 10 second walk from Harvey Nics.

What? You don't like the pictures? But I thought the stats said... :lol:

Why the hell did you go there? Go to St. Johns, Victoria 1/4, Headrow, Clarence Dock, Brigate etc. The shopping scene in the Merrion Centre is wank - it's where students like me go for cheap equipment and matetials for uni. I didn't think tourists would ever shop there.

Leeds is going to crash out of the Experian ratings looking that bad. lol

Care to post pictures of the worst street in Liverpool and Manchester for comparison? I've found much worse ones on google images :)

Care to post pictures of the worst street in Liverpool and Manchester for comparison? I've found much worse ones on google images

Nothing in the current centres of Liverpool and Manchester are any where near that bad. Leeds is just incredibly ugly compared to these fine cities. Besides, the scouse and manc forummers don't post up bollocks all the time the way Wiggley does, so I don't care to provoke them.

As they say, the camera doesn't lie. These were all taken yesterday. To be honest, I was simply gob smacked. Having listened to Wiggley's vitriol and bile about other places. No wonder he's bitter! :lol:

And there's much more were that came from. I'm going to post a new nasty up every time he starts posting up his lovely stats and other forms of bate. Maybe I can train him to stop being a gimp?

:hahaha:

There are some awful concrete buildings between the multi storey and the Opal Tower, if you want more bait ;) The ugliest building in Leeds is West Riding House, but you don't really see it from street level.

There are some awful concrete buildings between the multi storey and the Opal Tower, if you want more bait ;) The ugliest building in Leeds is West Riding House, but you don't really see it from street level.

Yes, I have some of those :)

To be fair though, a lot of the modern stuff is awful as well. I was very disappointed in Bridgewater Place, it doesn't look like it was designed by an architect.

Manchester might have better shopping in reference to the shops themselves at the moment, but Leeds wipes the floor when it comes to shopping experience. It's far more pleasant to shop in Leeds than Manchester*- spacious Briggate is heaven compared to crowded Market Street. I'm glad that Leeds City Centre is not dominated by an Arndale style shopping centre, and that the majority of its shopping is open streetscapes or elegant arcades.

*I really must point out that I'm not saying its necessarily better to shop in Leeds, but the experience is definitely better. Its far more compact and easy to navigate. It's a shame so many shops are in the hell hole that is the Arndale Centre.

sometimes when discussing 'retail' you all sound like suburban passive consumers. Is that all cities are about?

In the case of Leeds then certainly yes, but then that's what most of our cities in this country really have left isn't it? a little sad but true. But it's not so bad...

Seems to me like a few of those pics are taken in back and side streets that most cities have. Perhaps if you had stuck to the main thoroughfares (?) it would have been a nicer experiance.

Exactly. Everywhere has it's cack areas in the city centre. I'm sure Leeds is lovely. I'vbe never been there, but perhaps I'll visit there for a football match if Leeds United ever reach the dizzying heights that Cardiff City occupy... ;)

Leeds City Museum Opened This Month

The brand new Leeds City Museum, opened September 2008 in Millennium Square. The museum will be housed in the former Grade II Leeds Institute building. It was also the home of Leeds Civic Theatre until it moved into the new purpose-built The Carriageworks theatre, also on Millennium Square.

Hmm... Seems like you completely missed most of Leeds! And as for your cut-through to HMV, a very odd route which I'd be surprised if anyone in their right mind would go down there apart from to buy drugs. Which of course no one would ever do...

subliving.. dont bite.. he only posted those pics because he got ripped in the city bashing thread. So his pics posted here are specific pics of all the gritty worst back alleys found in all city centres, and everyone appreciates that, so i wouldnt bother biting. :)

funny how one post can elicit such thin skinned responses when Liverpool posters, responding to a sustained attack on their city are told to 'lighten up'!

No Tony..Liverpool posters were told to lighten up because of the personal attacks and racist comments which were becoming quite nasty (and incidently only reinforced stereotypes abouts scousers). They were totally welcome to city bash, given that it was the city bashing thread.. but chose to go down a slippery slope - which is why people were telling your lot to calm down.

This thread *isnt* the city bashing thread, and as such, tit for tat crap about other cities isnt welcome and only spoilts such threads. Thats all from me regarding this.

It's really good not having the foggiest what this person has just written!!!!

^^yep just non important murmurs. or a fart in a vacuum. ;)

Indeed, funny that. :yes:

:cheers:


anyhoo, back to the subject, sort of.

Portabello Red just posted this pic and link. Some interesting shots in the slideshow, including a really interesting arial shot from the 60s'

I love how tranquil and rural it becomes at the bottom of the page :lol: :happy:

Some really cool pics in the link too.

some heart-breaking ones too

I f*cking love the overhead railway, it would be so cool if it was still here :bash:

It wouldn't just be cool it would form a really useful function of tying neighbourhoods and various points of economic activity together. Given the route and dense populations the ovy served any British city would kill for an asset like that now.

On the pics Herr Rathbone threw up, they're so anti people, anti urban, inhumane. Forget where they are in relation to his post they're a disgrace and reminder of what happens when grandiose planning schemes take hold of a city and kill it.

No Tony..Liverpool posters were told to lighten up because of the personal attacks and racist comments which were becoming quite nasty (and incidently only reinforced stereotypes abouts scousers).

Umm.. Which racist comments exactly? All I did was post a picture of an Indian train and you then contacted Bammy and cried foul - despite the fact that you are one of the most demented and hateful forummers on SSC.

And what stereotypes about scousers? The logic of what you are saying is the same logic the bigot uses pal; you just aren't bright enough to see it. If you knew Leeds anywhere near as well as I do (i.e. if you weren't simply a smelly student who has adopted it as your new home), you'd know a bit more about the reputation of Leeds folk when it comes to racism. Hence why white people can no longer walk through areas of Chapel Town and Armley after 6pm.

Anyway, if you get that chip off your shoulder then I won't have recourse to keep posting lovely pics of the Leeds your stats don't show. I have loads of the horrible, shitty estates choking the city centre - Little London, Burmantofts, Seacroft (the largest council estate in Europe), Gipton, to name but a few.

It's a testament to the humility of the Liverpool forummers that they haven't torn into you after I posted up those pics - you really deserved it after the way you've behaved towards them. I guess they, unlike I, are unwilling to lower themselves to your level. Perhaps you should apologise to them?

Ps. why don't you invest in a camera, then you won't have to keep ripping lame pics of Leeds off Google. :lol:

They don't look that bad really, I have to say the Victorian Arcade was very, very nice .... it's what the Great Western Arcade in Birmingham should've looked like :)

Beautiful building, great public realm in fornt of it too!

i personally dont think its a lovely building. Although big inside, and depth, it looks small from the outside, and looks like it could do with a clean. It is in a nice spot thought, next to the carriage works theatre on millenium square, and just round the corner from the city art gallery, the henry moor institute, and the town hall.

Sorry, I can't hear you mate ^^ & until you calm down a bit, people won't want to hear or see what you say ..... :)

^^ i find it hilarious how the people who supposedly have you on ignore spend half their time on these forums posting straight after you have, referencing you. :lol:

Look, can we just drop it already. If you want to bitch, then do it elsewhere (The City Bashing Thread would make sense).

I have to say, Worcester, one of my nearest cities, & a population of just 95,000 people, has a better 'feel' to it's high street than Leeds. The buildings & shop frontages along Briggate have a 'small town' feel to them, not a major city feel at all. Worcester city centre feels a lot more 'grand' ..... this isn't having a go btw, just my personal observation.. :)

.... and off it's main shopping street it has streets like this ^^ :)

I thought that too wiggley, I hope its not actually manchester:lol:

looks very manchester in that one :)

:nono: it is very Glasgow.

ooops

i mean a lot of manchester's building look very *glasgow*

:hug:

aw, well shucks, thats very sweet of you :hug: but lets be fair to Manchester, it has its own style too :)

p.s. the cone on the Iron Duke's head is a long-standing Glasgow tradition. sometimes his horse can be seen sporting one too. perhaps even the same one - who knows! :dunno:

Thats better, Wiggley knows not to upset a Glasweigan, we'll the put the heid on him!:bash:
