Colourful Barking
Some nice examples of what a splash of colour can do to some otherwise ordinary blocks of property in a town centre. The yellow Travelodge is obvious, but look behind at the green on the flats and the highlights on the tower block behind.

Ripple Road, Barking ? 1978 (1)
This part of London was one of the last strongholds of the classic RT bus type, based at Barking Garage. This section of Ripple Road is not greatly changed in the early 21st century, although the tower block in the background has been demolished.
One of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

The old Town Hall, Barking ? 1978
Built in 1893 as Barking's Town Hall before the creation of the Grater London Council, it subsequently became magistrates courts https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3265650 . In 1978 East Street was still a major thoroughfare, but has since become entirely pedestrianised. This part of London was one of the last strongholds of the classic RT bus type, based at Barking Garage, to which RT3254 is heading.

Barking - A modern folly
Although this looks like it may be part of the Barking Abbey ruins, it was
actually built at the same time as the shopping centre, in 2007-8. It was
designed by the architects muf who intend it to be a fragment of an
imaginary lost past of Barking.
