World’s largest lobster (1990) in Shediac, NB. Although it’s no longer actually the world’s biggest since the Chinese unveiled a bigger one in Qianjiang 11 years ago.

Rochdale Town Hall. From the outside, a rather handsome Gothic Revival building. Arrived too late to pop inside, so thought I’d go back in the morning.

Remarkable scenes here in Musselburgh. Opened in 1957, closed in 2008. B&M has come and gone, leaving the charming ghost signs.

Finally about to close after 220 years of trading. Being absorbed by a chain pharmacy. Hope the shopfront gets the respect it deserves afterwards.
