What's in a Corner...

What's in a Corner ? Well here we find a small tree/plant in a nice looking blue glazed pot.

This corner just happens to be in St Christopher's Place W1 where a couple of shops happen to converge. The colour orange the dark brick work along with the grey all brought together by the green and blue of the plant/pot really make this a rather interesting corner and very pleasant on the eye.

The grey stone floor along with the square glass inserts into paving just top off this corner and certainly make St Christopher's Place not just a great place to shop but a nice place to take a stroll down away from the chaos of Oxford Street.

What's in a Corner ?

Welcome to the new decade and more of the Corner Shot but what is it we find in a corner?

Here we are at the Strand just by the taxi-cab stand with the side of the RAF St Clement's Dane Church. What a beautiful stone corner we have here with a pretty old cylindrical drain pipe in the actual corner with looks like it is well bolted to the stone. Look a little closer and we can see that the building is earthed by following the cable and seeing that is disappears under the ground.

We can also see that some of the stone work has been pointed and some remedial work has been done on this most wonderful of church's.
