I have quite a few modern buildings in my files but in my opinion the Midland hotel at Morecambe is not at all photogenic.

then it will have something in common with a few of us

But not in this competition - it's a modern building.

no, what i meant was, isnt it how you interpret the brief, i may class that as an old building as i can always remember it being there, therefore it isnt "new", where someone else may think of old as over a certain age, Gremlin supplied the brief, its up to the competitors to work within that brief as they see fit

no need for the "sigh" sue

Wasn't aimed at you Darren, just got woken up from a snooze by "Jack" from India wishing me a nice day etc etc. All I need really the way I feel at the mo.
Would like to be out there in the sun taking pics even if only the Midland Hotel but think I might fall over if I tried, also several other things that slow me down just now.

AArrgghh another call as I type this!

Apologies anyway - and I've uploaded five photos of old buildings now, if we were still allowed ten I'd probably add some modern stuff.

Oh yes...

Margaret Pilkington · 26-02-2013, 16:10

The Midland hotel was originally built in 1933 and was designed by Oliver Hill, with sculptures by Eric Gill....so I would have thought that it fitted the brief......and had I been in the vicinity I would have captured it and posted it to the competition.......but then that is just me....an 'ornery' being.
I think the rules of the comp are loose enough to allow for this......it is, after all a personal interpretation.

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit tender and delicate Sue...hope things buck up for you very soon.

Thanks M how did you guess - I'm frustrated as much as anything - want to be on the go!

Tender and delicate just about sums it up...

I think I should make clear my intentions regarding the photos for the competition before another war breaks out.
Most if not all building have been designed by an architect, new or old and I am sure that some new building will have some interesting features so why not include them when you find one.

I had to go to Accrington today and it is amazing what you see above ground floor level on some of the older building, there are great windows and little columns etc.
I was sat in the solicitors and noticed on one building opposite had a big stone with "Burtons Buildings" carved on it.

Keep on posting photos, however old the architecture is.
