tall, dark, and handsome

Solomon's playschool group took a trip to the seaside in July. It was a fun day but what made the greatest impression on me in the town of Hastings were these Net Stores (as in storage, not retail, for those who are not British!), which are unique to this location.


The sheds were used by fishermen to store nets and other gear along the shore. A maximum of 8' square footprint was imposed, so they were built upward like this to accommodate more storage within that area.
