shriek in Leek

I was given the wonderful opportunity to photograph the ghost walk around Leek the Friday before last and thought it was time i post one of the shots. The walk is lead by Bill Cawley and covers a wide range of buildings highlighting their links to the supernatural and macabre. Since doing this blog i have learned a lot about the history of Leek, but most of this walk was an eye opener, to the extent that at times i even forgot to take pictures. For more information on Shriek in Leek check out the web site.

Just to prove we are still in Leek you can see the roof of the Nicholson Institute in the back ground to this great looking orange number.

Every where i looked there were photo to capture, this is like loads i took just to capture the detail that goes into these machines, just look at all that chrome!

Looking like something straight out of a 60s Italian film, I expected Sofia Loren to stroll over and drive it away, less a means of getting from A to B than a work of art.

This really is Leek although for a few short hours it took on the appearance of a holiday resort, here is a shot the for me summed up the day a collection of great Scooters, great surrounding and people just sitting back and enjoying it all, the Scooters are all from Birkenhead Cloud 9 Scooter club (i think).

SCOOTER-FEST 2010

Sunday in Leek never used to be this busy, but this Sunday was SCOOTER-FEST organised by The Jesters Scooter Club and for once the town centre was jumping.

The local clubs 6th annual festival for Scooters and all thing related to the scene turned the town centre in to a riot of colour and noise with 100's of Scooters from all over the country turning up to enjoy one of the hottest days of the year and a great example of what Leek can do. Over the next few days i will let you all enjoy a bit of the colour for you selves.
