Collecting texture reference

In order to create believable textures I went on a trip with three friends namely Tsanko Tsanev, Bryan Devenish and Tim Nightingale around the city collecting photographs we believed would make interesting texture reference. These ranged from tarmac textures to dirt, to metal and stone. Our destinations ranged from DIY stores such as Homebase and B&Q to actual construction sites which we were able to gain permission to enter. Below are a few examples of photos taken.
