Having driven Mr Kiwi crazy with wanderlust we decided one morning to hop on a train and finally visit St Albans, an outer-London destination we have been meaning to explore for years.

With a grand cathedral, roman ruins, quirky pubs, insanely grand coffee shops, leering gargoyles, a medieval clock tower and English Heritage listed train signal box, St Albans is a perfect afternoon wander.
Lovely pictures! Although I may have sniggered a bit at the "ye olde fighting cock" x
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! Good call on making them B&W - they look very antique-y that way. {Is that a word?}
ReplyDeleteLove quirky old places like this. That second photo is lovely - I think it can be difficult to gain a sense of the enormity of buildings like that, but you did it!
ReplyDeleteSt. Alban's looks like such a beautiful place to visit!
ReplyDeleteIt was really sweet, and only a 20minute train from Kings Cross!
ReplyDeleteIt was a town full of curios, perfect for a wander through. Aww, thank you! It was a stunning cathedral.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a sweet, crumbly town! Full of old curious. And yes, antique-y is definitely a word!
ReplyDeleteOh, we sniggered, and went in simply for the name...
ReplyDeleteEven though it was grey and dreary we loved our little escape. Black & White photos can seem so atmospheric sometimes...
ReplyDeleteOk I feel a bit guilty for not actually going to visit St Albans properly considering how close I live to the place! xx
ReplyDeleteooo I really like the black and white pics!
