Beaminster shops Use or Lose! Small town SW England

Beaminster (Population 2,300) At least ten shops or businesses or pubs in Beaminster LOST in last 8 years. Petrol station, gone, Butcher - gone, White Hart Hotel gone, Paper shop gone, Laundrette, gone, Royal Oak, gone, Deli - gone, Betting shop, Dress Shop going, Bank, gone, Shoe Shop, gone, 2nd Petrol station gone, 2nd Deli gone.
In the year 2003 when my digital camera gave me good pictures practically free I decided to take a picture of every shop, cafe, place of interest in the small town of Beaminster in Dorset. I did this on one day and started with over 100 pictures. Around the same time the following year I went round and took second photographs of each of the shops etc. Subsequently I have done this every year. You may think that this is easy. Taking the pictures is the easy part of it. Once you have taken the pictures you have to put them 'up'. Year one - just put the pictures 'up'. Year two - you need to sort all the pictures. This becomes more difficult as the years go by. By the time you get to year seven then you are (a) forgetting some of the places you took phots of in year 1, (b) running out of time (c) finding extra things of interest (d) taking months putting all the new pictures into place on the 'up'. Anyway - here is volume 7. This time I have included more maps to show more or less where the places are. It is not quite right yet and probably requires more work. Still this extra work will come with version 8.
You may say that this video goes through very quickly. Just remember that I am trying to show hundreds of views in 7minutes.20seconds and that all of this took over two hours to upload.
If you want to see any particular picture then just stop the video and look at it. You could also maximise the thing to see better.

@OIIieeeee I spent today on the beach in Dubai - I went to the Dubai Rugby Sevens two days ago and had lunch in the Burj al Arab last week.

I will fly back to England for Christmas before going off to China in 2012 - as you say I live a very sad life.

Do tell me what you have done in the last week. \

I need some excitement in my life before I fly half way round the world back to Beaminster!

[OIIieeeee]

Lol you must have a very sad life to do this! People like you make Beaminster boring as fuck!
