The Custom House, Lancaster Quay, built in 1765 and restored as Lancaster Maritime Museum in 1985.
The building has played a role in Lancaster's slave trade history, both as the place where merchants taxes would have been paid during that period, and today as a place where those links are presented for discussion.
NOTE: I'm on hols until Wed and having probs uploading pics, so unless I can get it sorted there will be a short hiatus on the blog.
After suffering several cloudy days, we awoke to gorgeous bright light again this morning. It was great to get out and see reflections in the still River Lune before breakfast.
Taken from the Millennium Bridge.
Another old church with colourful doors (yellow-doored one posted here). But unlike St Thomas', this one no longer worships a god. Instead, it helps people pursue more earthly pleasures. It's now a pub.
This is the last of the Edwardian Day photos, and I feel it's appropriate. Why? Because the theme was about promoting the Lancaster Market traders, and this picture (I think) captures the success of that effort. Well done the traders - you turned an ordinary trading day into something more interesting!
If only we had an Obama this side of the pond. Perhaps then we wouldn't be so despondent?
And another set of three for you this evening. Hats seems to be the order of the day.
And you might also remember this Edwardian gent - or his work - from a previous post. Meet Alvin of Lancaster Pottery, whose creations some of you so admired in this earlier post.
