Here comes trouble

Harassment part 1:

I should have known better than to want to take photographs of grade 1 listed buildings. At the time that I took this shot I was standing on a small grassy roundabout on a public road having been photographing the rather nice art deco gatehouses at the Boots UK Limited production site at Beeston in Nottingham.

Clearly this was criminal behaviour as I soon espied the hi-viz security operative approaching. Soon he was demanding to know what I was doing and why I was doing it. On being informed that I was taking photographs (the camera was a bit of a giveaway) and that why was none of his business, he informed me that Boots didn't want people taking photographs and it was illegal for me to do so. When I pointed out that I was in a public place and could photograph what I wanted, he radioed to higher authority and was told to call the police immediately! I continued my walk onto the public footpath that runs alongside the perimeter fence where a second harassment took place.
