Reading Time: 3 minutes Somewhere I have been meaning to get to again for some time, is Middleton Railway. This little heritage line, tucked away in the arse-end-of-the-least-salubroious-area of Leeds is actually the oldest surviving railway in the world. Built as a horse drawn waggonway in 1758 to serve …
Reading Time: 4 minutes I have been away for some time, back again in Norfolk. I grew up in Cambridge, so while not truly a Fenlander, The Fens were a place I travelled and raversed, and as my range grew they were the area of mystery on the edge …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes We went to Lincoln this weekend, so the week was quite oriented to that. VArious of the colours are quite random, though the end of the week is inspired by Cross Country Trains, Lincoln, and the blue hour (from when I photographed more trains at …

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have needed to travel to Worksop recently, and of course took my camera. Always liking a bit of Brutalism, a chance to take some shots of Park Hill and the arears around the station. On the station I got a great shot of this …
Reading Time: 4 minutes I was asked by work to attend a meeting in York the other day – so with my best bargaining head on I agreed to this if I could have the rest of the day off, as York in the run up to Christmas is …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I spend a lot of time travelling on busses and trains. Looking out of the windows provides a unique view of the surroundings which is detached and dispassionate, a different reality. You see places that you may walk through on different days, or that you …
Reading Time: 5 minutes There has been a bit of a buzz recently about this new film produced by Adox. This promises ‘Imploding Colours, Bursting Reds and Toxic Grain’. I have read that it was in fact a dud batch with one of the layers incorrectly coats. It is …
