Manchester

Reading Time: 2 minutes I took these shots on a quick trip to Manchster with work to speak at a conference. Manchester is somewhere I would like to explore in more detail. I like the Juxtaposition of the modern and the old Industrial, something that Leeds has lost, at 

Unity Day 2016

Reading Time: 3 minutes Another great Unity Day.

Big Truck

Big Truck

Reading Time: 2 minutes A bit of random excitement for the day. National Grid have recently needed to replace a 150 tonne transformer at the Kirkstall substation – with some of the very small streets round this part of Leeds this proved quite interesting to watch! You can read 

Class 08s

Class 08s

Reading Time: 2 minutes Keighley and Worth Valley Railway have recently finished restoring a second Class 08 shunter for their fleet, and in celebration have held a special diesel day with their two Class 08s top and tailing, and double heading, journeys on the line. Over a 10 year 

Kirkstall Abandonment

Kirkstall Abandonment

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have completed various photoshoots round Kirkstall, around the river and canal. It’s an interesting place, with a lot of industrial remnants.

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have a dreadful confession.  Actually it’s probably not a confession, as it may well have become clear to those who follow anything I do artistically, and also I blame my son. But… I am a train geek. I think the polite term for this 

Further adventures in Copyright Infringement

Further adventures in Copyright Infringement

Reading Time: < 1 minutes I am a little torn about whether to post this – I don’t want to create disquiet, or appear like someone who is difficult to work with. But I feel I have to actually protect my rights, and ensure that other people do not run 

Wakefield to Dewsbury

Wakefield to Dewsbury

Reading Time: 4 minutes My aim on this walk was to join the canal at the end of Thornes Lane Wharfe, and so complete the Wakefield end of the Calder Hebble Navigation, but this appearded to have been cut off, I guess due to damage to the tow path.
