  • Single Purpose Shops

    An interesting thread on the Fortean Times Forum.

    Rotterdam - a shop selling only wheels.

    Edinburgh - a shop selling only brushes.

    Anything left-handed can be bought at a shop in London.

    Bead shops in Falmouth and London.

    Shops selling Christmas decorations throughout the year in Amsterdam and Edinburgh.

    A shop in Brighton used to only sell pianola rolls.

  • Aerial/satellite photographs of Yorkshire.

    I found these on a site called 'Google Satellite Maps.' I can't install Google Earth on my computer and so I don't know how the quality compares; the images do seem to have all the interactive features though.

    Eggborough Power Station - together with two other nearby power stations, Drax and Ferrybridge dominates the northern skyline from most parts of Doncaster borough. It's also possible to see the Trent Valley power stations to the south and east.

    Town of Whitby - not a very good image.

    Northallerton

    The Yorkshire Three Peaks

    Ribblehead Viaduct

    Fylingdales Early Warning Station

    R.A.F. Menwith Hill

    Crop circle, near Billingley, Barnsley

    Ferrybridge Power Station [mentioned earlier] - actually a stunning and very detailed photograph.
