Clair The Cape Queen’s got a thing for post-war industrial architecture, with a great affinity for buildings from the 1950s and 1960s. She came across this abandoned factory on one of her exploration trips and couldn’t resist a few cape pictures being taken at the …

Even Clair The Cape Queen has to visit the shops and with the rain falling a cape was needed to keep her dry. Today it was her sweet bag cape – so-called because its stripes reminded her of the paper bags you’d put loose sweets …

There’s no rhyme or reason for this selection of images other than we thought it was time for some more monochrome goodness. We love the old-school look just as much as we like our colour images, but in black and white there’s just that something …

The Cape Queen’s interest in Mercia’s history means there’s plenty of walking in the hills, and it’s that often-happening bad weather that led to her love of raincapes and the all-enveloping protection they provide. Over Easter the rain fortunately didn’t come, but Clair still donned …

The Cape Queen’s blue cape came in handy on a recent country walk: the wind was blowing harshly, the rain was coming down, yet Clair was well protected by her 1970s American cape. Billowing in the wind it made a great sight as she continued …

In 1978 The Stranglers released a three-track single, ‘Walk On By’/‘Tank’/‘Old Codger’, the new wave seven-inch peaking at number 21. Whether Clair The Cape Queen was thinking of Surrey’s finest we don’t know, but she showed us the abandoned Sherman tank she’d discovered in the …

Clair The Cape Queen clearly has a thing for clear capes but she’s also got a late-‘60s/early-’70 black and white vibe going. It certainly recreates images from old-school rainwear magazines and it’s just what we like. We don’t sway one way or the other when …
