Some good ideas there,
Not done trains before so thats a possibility and was toying with the idea of Birmingham but forgotten about Bourneville so that could work too.
See, I know someone here would have some good suggestions
Thanks Guys
I did suggest to the GF (who's a keen pentax photographer to) that perhaps we could shoot some fine art nude but she objected saying it's to late to fine a suitable model :-O

Prepared to travel a bit but don't really want to venture to far (probably and hour or so radius of Birmingham)
thanks in advance

Actually for a serious suggestion why not take yourself out on a mystery tour and just snap whatever you8 happen upon at random. Toss a coin for whether you drive north or south or east or west, etc

have a wander round the custard factory area. I was there last year and I Thought there was an interesting combination of hitech new build, old industrial and refurbished industrial/commercial buildings
