07 - Derby Street, Leek - Anna Watkins

Anna Watkins and Kath Grainger won their 23rd consecutive race and dominated the final of the Womens Double Sculls.  This famously ended Kath's run of a Silver medal in each of the previous three Olympics.  Anna won a Bronze in Beijing.  This was Great Britain's 6th Gold of London 2012.

Bunting and flags everywhere.  Weather was a bit drizzly driving in and the outskirts of Leek were uninspiring and rather bleak.  Thankfully the centre is nothing like that at all - we left with impressions of a nice, quiet little town.  Arrived at 7.37am so stopped for breakfast in a little cafe.  A good start to the day.
