Maybe pure coincidence, but I've just been in correspondence with another member who posted Chesterfield's twisted spire. I explained that I was born in Chesterfield and that to my knowledge there were two or three such twisted spires in France but that there were only two in England, including this, which I know very well - a pub close by served me the most ghastly pub food in history. Nevertheless I had to return a few times in the 90s as I had some very good clients nearby,
Apart from that long aside, this is a very pleasing shot, Howard!

Thanks. I've replaced the sky with a Shepperton one, to head off some of the withering criticism that this picture is bound to get from elsewhere.

One could almost imagine this was a bus window shot. Hope you weren't driving, Mr Bean!

No, but I was standing on a 2' 6" high planter on the pavement opposite.
