Model boats and chewing gum.

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 4 May 2013 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.

William Wight's general dealers on the fish quay in North Shields, certainly worth crossing the river for. This is shopping of an age gone by, bits and pieces served up as and when needed, in the fashion that one might expect. General banter and a damned good laugh. We were glad we went in!
I enjoyed doing a little cross processing and adding some texture overlays to these last two, I wanted to create the feel and atmosphere of a museum.
