Whiffs and Pongs!

Rather eerily, we visit Rievaulx Abbey quite often, and we always swear we can still smell the tanning troughs that are part of the Abbey complex...........🤔

Years ago we had a bonemeal factory nearby and up wind of us. Fortunately it is now gone.

I remember driving thru Hull around the Beverley road area past the Needlers factory-Humbugs smell, then a little further on hitting the tanners on air street🤢. It’s odd the way foul smells disperse nice ones. . .& hang around longer☹️

Not long after we were married we called on a friend of Mrs WN. She lived about 400 yards from an abattoir. We didn't make many visits to her house after that, always meeting on away ground!😰

Oh gosh WN, that would be my ultimate nightmare. 😱

And I will never forget the smell from Seaton's oil refinery on Bankside at 2 o'clock in the morning, when as a young PC, I was plodding the beat - it was so strong it used to give me chronic indigestion!  Both Seaton's and PCs on the beat are long gone

Don’t even mention the fish dock back in the day, you didn’t need to live in Hull to know which way the wind was blowing😂😂😂

Used to enjoy the aroma of the maltings in Bishops Stortford. After a hard days work in the city it seemed to revive me enough to get me up the hill (Havers Lane) and home

Any road that is being tarmacked, I tend to loiter wherever its being done 

Just outside Plancoet, France, and nearby large chicken sheds. These had extractor fans, and it was eye watering when the wind was in the wrong direction.
