Reading Time: 4 minutesFor the first time in some years the annual seaside trip that Unison provides me was not to the usual Scarborough or Whitby, but the smaller East Yorkshire Town of Bridlington, somewhere I have not been until now. We planned not to take children this …
Reading Time: 4 minutesInspired, in part, by The High Line in New York there has been discussions about creating similar on Holbeck Viaduct for some years now. So far this has sadly not come to anything, but on a smaller scale the Monk Bridge Viaduct development has started …

Reading Time: 3 minutesA welcome return after cancellations due to Covid19 has been the annual free trip to the seaside provided by Unison. I love Scarborough. It’s both beautiful and tacky, pompous and run down. I love the winding old streets and the ostentatious Victorian hotels and the …
Reading Time: 3 minutesFor all the time I have spent on canals, one stretch I have rarely walked any of is the stretch up out of Leeds staring at Kirkstall. Starting off the canal is pleasent, but unexceptional, passing first Kirkstall Lock and the non-descript fields which are …
