Urban Sketching an old road I used to walk down to Junior school. Not much has changed but there is a definite bump in the path where the cable television cable has been laid. Silverdale road is slightly up hill, the estate was built a long time ago, before I was born. Later Lower Earley would be born in the backs of the gardens on the houses on the left of the picture.
I particuarly like to include telegraph poles and tv antenna’s in pictures as they are slowly disappearing. It’s amazing how many wires actually cross the road when you look up and they all appear quite randomly placed, Maybe why the broadband is slower in England! I might do a sketch of the old style lamp-posts as some of them were built from concrete – again something you do not see too often these days.
