1. A Tidy Towns Award commemoration

Sure, it might be 40 years old, but we’re still damn proud of it.

2. An immaculately kept patch of flowers like this

3.  A random statue like this

Because #art

4. And an artsy fartsy installation on the road leading out of it

We call this one “Perpetual Motion”.

5. A glamorous “Opened By…” sign like this

9. A spooky abandoned building that was once a big f**king deal around town

For instance, an old cinema or hotel.

10. A phone box that’s never used

11.  A street that’s just straight up filled with pubs and nothing else

For the young people, you know yourself.

13. And finally, a glamorous boutique

For when you’re going to the races or a christening, you know yourself.
