Rainbow over Christchurch Road, Tring
A sharp shower and a setting sun means that the rainbow points straight down into the ground - but as always - the pot of gold must have been at the other end of the rainbow.

Old Lamppost, Corner of Windmill Way
This old cast iron lamppost stands at the corner of Windmill Way where it leaves Miswell Lane in Tring. Sadly, its light is spent, but hopefully it'll survive for many more years. Pity lampposts aren't this attractive any more. For a close-up of the mirrored reflector see Image]

Christchurch Road Shops, Tring, in 2009
While the building has remained the same over the years the shop fronts have changed. The nearest shop had originally been a local sub-post office and newsagents. By the time this picture was taken it was only a newsagent, although the cylinder post box remained. The further shop had been used by an interior decorator but, as the picture shows, became a Pilates Studio. By 2013 (Image) The nearest shop had become a Londis store - while still selling newspapers - and the other had become a Ladies hairdressers.

The Christchurch Road Shops - Tring
These two units were built circa 1960s to service the housing estates on the ridge to the north of the town of Tring. The first shop was originally a newsagent and a post office - and the cylinder post box is still there. The post office was closed down early in the 21st century and became little more than a distribution office for the newspaper round. It closed at the end of May 2013 and after a major refit opened as a Londis store a couple of days before this picture was taken. The shop next door has also changed over the years - and recently opened as a Ladies Hairdresser
