Show us what you've been photographing since the lockdown, it could be stuff through your window, in your garden, on your way to work or shopping, or what your town looks like....

It's just meant as a bit of fun to keep us all occupied during our isolation....

Day 8 of Lockdown: Not a great evening for photography

St James' Church, Church Kirk, a church has been on this site since 632AD, the tower is medieval. It's a grade II listed building and closed in Nov 2015, so I've never been inside.

The Globe Works. In the 1920's it was the world’s largest producer of ring spinning frames and Howard and Bullough employed over 6,000 people.

Something a bit more abstract, a light fitting on a modern apartment block opposite the Globe Works.

Consensus is people get these pets and can't look after them so 'dump them' in there wild. Typical that Dylan would be the one to find it.

Last three are a dolphin, regularly get washed up on the coast, I just happened to be the same day as the Turtle.

what is it used for now?

It used to manufactured machinery and parts for supply to the textile industry, but now but has now been converted to offices and conferencing facilities. It's substantially smaller these days at it's height it covered 52 acres.

Dylan went out for his daily exercise, found a Chinese Soft Shell Turtle - as you do - so brought it home, got in touch with BDMLR and its been collected and on its way to a local centre.

It was quite angry at the whole affair ?

Those don't look like wild rabbits Rye !

I don't think they are, the second was in a rear garden of a house but the first was on a path leading to a church next to the house. There didn't seem to be any hutches around or anything to stop them wandering about.
