Snap Derby Updates

Posted in News on November 13, 2007 by snapderby

No new photos today…and it’s not because I’m in London. Jim’s taken some and will send them soon, but we’re transferring Snap Derby to our new Sustainable Website. Fingers crossed we’ll be back live tomorrow. Until then, look around you (and take a picture, then send it to us!)

Early evening, the sun going down, and regular terraces like these on Pybus Street take on a magical quality.

Picture Framers, Old Fascia on Curzon Street

This building has been a fast food place for ages. As most fast food places do, it changes name quite often. It was nice to catch the old fascia exposed mid-change, and see what used to be there.

Oink the Water Buffalo
Chilling on a Sunday at his home on Haslams Lane. To answer Emma’s question, he really is called Oink. He grew up with pigs, and maybe even considers himself one…albeit with giantism.
