Ilkeston - Flowers Around The Market
w/e 21 June 2020
All of this week's pictures were
taken with a Kodak DX6490
It was back to the old routine this week as with
coronavirus restrictions still much in evidence and our outings
have been mainly restricted to walks through the town centre.
So for this selection of photos we decided to look at the flowers
that are starting to add some welcome colour around the Market
Place.
Council workers despite the lockdown have been busy in recent
weeks planting and the line of tubs in the Market Place are already
looking colourful.
|
Red, dark green and silver appears to be this year's theme as
evidenced by the planting around the Cenotaph.
|
The Corner Cafe has only just been allowed to re-open and customers
sitting outside will soon be able to admire the roses and other
flowers.
|
There are roses too in the Garden of Remembrance.
|
In front of the Cantelupe Centre are two beds full of geraniums.
|
St Mary's Church is currently closed for public worship but either
side of the main door the planters are overflowing with flora.
|
The beds either side of the entrance to the church are filling
out nicely with a variety of plants.
|
Here's a closer look at one of the tubs before we head over to
the Town Hall.
|
The red and dark green colour scheme at the Cenotaph is repeated
in the narrow beds in front of the Town Hall.
|
But the hanging baskets that line the Market Place and also feature
on South Street and Bath Street are full of a variety of colours.
