I like that it's a mixed area. On one end of the scale you have the Countess of C--'s almighty property, and then huddled against her garden wall a waterlogged Mooslim slum. And pretty much everything in between. Some landmarks.
The afternoon market:
The friendly neighbourhood slum, with guard chicken:
M'neighbour who's in the recycling business and has even more cats than I:
M'tailor (actually a dressmaker, but since she only has to copy the sole pair of jeans that ever fit me...):
Stupid pictures (an occasional series):
The local Tudorbethans:
A traditional Thai car wash (the sign says 'wash car 5 times, get 1 time free'):

Delusions of grandeur:
Traditonalists! Traditionalists!:
Bring Me the Head of Consuelo Garcia (a motorbike taxi stand and recycling business):
The and-then-suddenly-you're-in-the-countryside effect of the Inner Urban Sprawl:
'Sir, excuse me, sir! Only we saw you walkin round the back of those flats, and we were wondering if you was all right is all.':
Another idyllic slum:
A melancholy hound (actually a playful puppy):
