Trolley 111

Captured somewhere not very far from base, that is to say Sainsbury's at Kiln Lane.

But, both curiously and irritatingly, I cannot not work out where. I had remembered East Street, but the road in the picture does not seem quite wide enough and the road markings are wrong, at least according to Street View. On the other hand, all the other likely roads in the vicinity are too narrow. All very puzzling, but at least the trolley was real. The camera never lies.

A trolley which was new enough to have an advertisement for Argos-in-Sainsbury's attached to it, the other side of the purple patch visible, but old enough for the side up against the lamp post to be fairly rusty. For which to happen, one supposes that the chrome finish must have been scraped off at some point. Returned to the special needs section by Timpson's.

Furthermore, we have got to trolley 111 and we never made the centenary lunch, now some weeks over due. Moment passed, so we will now have to wait until the bicentenary, which might turn up before Christmas 2018. We shall see.

PS: some hours later, having had breakfast and shaved, the brain is now in better working order, and I have tracked the trolley down to the top of Victoria Place, just off East Street, with the Hakim Fry car park top right. In mitigation I can plead that the Street View picture of the same scene was taken in the summer and top right is mostly green there rather than house. Plus some trick of the light is making a brown house look yellow.
