Generally, as you drive or walk through the area you find the evidence of the way things were in the past, and the way things are today. For example, the house with the washing outside and the fading paintwork and walls, then there's the very grand Victorian house which is boarded up and derelict - a sign of the kind of houses people built around the area, and the old bus station tower, empty and boarded as a development opportunity. 
All these images were taken usng the nikon D80 with a 24 - 70mm telephoto lens. I altered all the images to black and white using Photoshop to add to the story.

The shops at the south end of Lord Street used to be bustling with people, but most are either shuttered or empty and to let, the only shop which had any life about it was the candy store, but still no customers.
Once again, I think that black and white adds to the sadness of the scene.
