Sunday, July 7, 2019

A delapidated area full of urban decay rebuilt socially by a small arts community of which I am a part, and then gentrified by the rich and greedy. As an upstanding bobemian creative I am just awaiting being out priced from this area. Prostitution is not as common as it used to be but there are sec workers on the streets we real nights a week. The new influx of Chinese students is welcome.

The Redesign is Underway

The Redesign is Underway

Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
