'Rust Never Sleeps'

In the South Wales of my childhood, 1950-something, there was a tradition of building sheds and garages with corrugated iron sheets - they rusted like heck, but I grew up with them.
Tin sheds - You can't buy them now - everything is plastic or paint-coated box profile - no character to that.
This is the start of my memories of the 'Tin Sheds' of my childhood that still exist today.
They won't last forever.
MORE TO COME if my wife let's me - she thinks I'm a bit sad!!!!
Oops! Just got a bit sadder and started including rusty things too and remembering my older youth - Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

Croeso i Pbase. I have enjoyed looking at parts of Wales through your eyes, you have a good eye.Your collection of "Tin Sheds " appeal to me, an excellent collection, there is something about the colour of rust that seems to attract the photographers. Well done an excellent collection of galleries, will pop in from time to time. May I invite you to look at some of my North Wales efforts sometime. V
