Ghost signs off Tib Street
Never been in this cafe, looks really sweet. We'll go next time
For quick exit after some kind of heist
My best effort at not looking awkward. Taken by Hollie
Wearing - Vintage Woolrich jacket, Aubin & Wills jumper, Levi's 511s, just your basic work boots, Herschel backpack
This restaurant/takeaway was tucked away quite far down a dark alley
New building build around an old building, with the old sad one poking out the top? 
Not strictly in the backstreets but I though this packaging was worth sharing. No branding other than the swing label, has anyone heard of this company? I can't seem to find them online
You can always count on me lurking around some backstreets when I have nothing better to do, I can't remember the last day I just stayed in and did nothing. A couple of weeks ago I was in Manchester city centre helping Hollie out with some research for a project, so I took us on a short detour down some allies and around some corners to see what we could find.
It was only a short nose around but I try to do this as much as I can when I have spare time, cos you're bound to find something pretty ace. I was in Brighton last weekend and I reckon this would be an amazing place to do this. I don't think you'd ever have time to see everything there. Sadly I didn't take many photos in Brighton and the vintage market I mentioned was a bit of a disaster, the weather was a shocker. Market on the top of a hill + hurricane style winds isn't a good mix.
Can anyone recommend any good vintage/antique flea markets in the UK?
Good question, it's one that I was about to ask myself! I mean, all the vintage and secondhand shops must get their stock somewhere right?
ReplyDeleteLoving the typography on the cafe window. Definitely in the mood for eggs & soldiers now.

Love, love, love these. I've been daydreaming about nosing around in England lately. I want to plan a trip back. I get anxious just thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteI love the lurking in backstreets, too, and how interesting does Manchester look! The photo with the fire escapes has quite the New York vibe. Shame about the weather in the usually desert-like and hosepipe-banned south-east.
ReplyDeleteveryyy cool photos
ReplyDelete"Authentic Moghul Food" sounds right up my alley! And that first photo is delightful, I love seeing old traces here and there nestled amongst the everyday and modern.
ReplyDeleteThat's some good boots you've got going on there, they look like something people would pay a lot of money for. Not seen an outfit post in a while, good work! ALso enjoy the backstreets, some of these pics could easily be round Brick Lane, or even in NYC
ReplyDeleteLoving the pics!
ReplyDeleteLookign good Matt! :)
