Baldock High Street
Taken at 4:30 p.m. the traffic is beginning to build. By 6 p.m. this will be a nightmare. This is a lovely old town with an old coaching inn where you can bang your head on the ceiling.

Tesco Extra, Baldock
Definitely Extra. I can't think of any other building in this country which puts me so much in mind of Mussolini. This central portico of five bays would make a good façade for the railway terminus in a dictator's capital. But the full width of the building is more like 35 bays (sorry, I lost count). The style I think you'd have to describe as Art Deco-Classical, with Egyptian flourishes. For many years - before being acquired by Tesco - it was a hosiery factory.

Baldock: the former Kayser Bondor factory
Now fronting a supermarket, this huge Art Deco building was once the facade of the Kayser Bondor hosiery factory. It dates from 1924, its Egyptian frieze inspired by Howard Carter's discoveries.

Car park, Tesco Extra, Baldock
The car park is raised above the street level, so the ground floors of the houses are hidden

The Cock, Baldock High Street
A Greene King house - and in May 2013 still very much a pub in the traditional sense, rather than a restaurant. I've been here in winter, too - they had an open fire and mild on tap. (Mild is getting scarce, so I hope the landlord still keeps it, for the winter months).
