Worthy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Somebody has asked a question? My answer would probably be a bit of both. http://norfolk.iwitness24.co.uk/en/phot ... stbin.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBA Marine Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It is sad that these buildings in this state, however i thought the broads hotel in hoveton was going to be re developed (proberbly end up as residential. but its hardly pulling the broards down to a dustbin, as you cant see most of these buildings from the river. The riverside its mostly tidy and the park area with its benches and pleasnt paths are a massive improvment on the scrubbland it was a few years ago, giving boaters an easy walk from the moorings under the railway bridge into the village. This area is also a nice safe area for family's to feed water birds. improvments can always be made but postings that only point out the area's that need developing/renovating does't help tourists make the decision to come, pan a few degree's on those camara shots and things look alot better.

Dan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Empty buildings or boarded up buildings are always sad to see, but the Broads cannot be totally excluded from a problem that is countrywide, if anything it certainly seems from the Broads I visit that these are a smaller percentage than other parts of the country... but to be honest you could go to any part of the country, holiday location or not and photograph some closed down businesses or buildings awaiting redevelopment... I think the reality is it is not a shameful problem that is ruining Broadland but of course it would be lovely to see these problems conquered nationwide, but perhaps it is not the reality of the real world?

Hockham Admiral Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This doesn't bother me too much as regards visitors as I've lived here for over 30 years and never heard of this rag. I can't believe anyone outside of Norfolk has either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneakp Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hardly a Dustbin IMHO - The images look typical of what can be found in any town if you look. If you want to visit a dustbin try Regents canal - even Baz wanted to get out out quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthy Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hardly the same thing wayneakp, that picture purely shows some street art decorating hoarding around a construction site. It would be nice if Station Rd Hoveton and parts of Potter Heigham looked remotely like that, but sadly they don't, they resemble something that looks like the Luftwaffe have visited.

Antares_9 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That looks suspiciously like the Limehouse cut, and stop dissing me art blood innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course easy to pick on parts of the broads that are not so nice, as I did, tongue in cheek, with a shot of London - maybe look at some of the other pictures of the broads on that same site. It would be nice for all areas to be pristine, but especilly in these times that isnt going to happen. Maybe if people focused on the positives in life Overall Gem I say ....

senator Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Actually Wayne, you have managed to make the canal look quite attractive there. Maybe worth a call to the London Tourist Board, see if they would like you to photograph some more of their less salubrious sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a nice waterscape Ian, do you think I should send the photo to Boris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
