burslem from tunstall	Canon IXUS 40
Tone took this one - it won the judges' prize for pictures of Tunstall. The shattered tiles in this picture could represent the recent history of industrial decline in Stoke-on-Trent. And although this scene is far from beautiful, there is some hope of cleaner, healthier and less impoverished lives in the spaces that have opened up between the towns that make up the city. Burslem, in the distance, is crammed with brilliant buildings - the best in mid-scale late-Victorian architecture.

 

allotment architecture	Nikon D70, Nikkor 18-70
Tone took this one - it won the judges' prize for pictures of Hanley, and the public vote These allotments lie on the banks of the Cauldon canal (an offshoot of the Trent & Mersey Canal) in Northwood. The allotments are of long-standing and extremely well maintained, and the ad-hoc architecture has reached a peak of sophistication and permanence. This place has such a warm tranquil feeling - it looks like the most desirable of lost lands - a permanent 1950s where there is always home-grown produce for tea and the Home service still broadcasts on the wireless. I took this picture whilst walking with Mike - one of my closest friends - it was one of the last long walks I took before  rheumatoid arthritis took its toll on my legs. This picture sums up the companionable and relaxed feeling of that day.

Tone was also given a photo credit in Dave Pegg's recent celebratory boxed set - A Box of Pegg's
