Chapelle SAN GHJUVANNI EVANGELISTA - SAN GHJUVANNI EVANGELISTA Chapel
De style roman, la chapelle érigée au bord du Tavignano semble veiller sur le pont génois (U Ponte a u Larice d’Altiani). Comme d’autres chapelles, sa datation fait débat : elle aurait été reconstruite en 1600 par maitre Alissandro avec des matériaux d’une chapelle précédente datant du 10e ou du 11e siècle (Dim : 11,50m x 6,50 m). La nef se termine par une abside semi-circulaire voutée de très petites pierres noyées dans un mortier de chaux. Deux portes donnent accès à l’intérieur : l’une à l’ouest et l’autre au sud. Des fenêtres meurtrières sont présentes de chaque côté et une au centre de l’abside. Cette petite chapelle champêtre actuellement désaffectée était dédiée à San Giovanni Evangelista. Classée aux MH le 14/01/77.
In Romanesque style, the chapel built on the banks of the Tavignano seems to watch over the Genoese bridge (U Ponte a u Larice d’Altiani). Like other chapels, its dating is debated: it was rebuilt in 1600 by master Alissandro with materials from a previous chapel dating from the 10th or 11th century (Dim: 11.50m x 6.50m). The nave ends with a semi-circular apse vaulted with very small stones embedded in lime mortar. Two doors provide access to the interior: one to the west and the other to the south. There are arrow-slit windows on each side and one in the center of the apse. This small, currently disused country chapel was dedicated to San Giovanni Evangelista. Listed as a Historic Monument on 14/01/77.

Another day with big blue.
I think this is a Class 310 unit. I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what the service is (though it says 'Bletchley' on the indicator blind). Back in the day this was just another electric 'mult' that initially took forever to find in our Combined's.
Looking again today, I'm really pleased that these shots were taken. Those lovely wrap-round windows, the all over BR Blue livery and cast BR symbols really date this shot.
The limitations of the 50mm lens on the Zenith B is fairly apparent here. The middle of the frame is relatively sharp but the rest just fades to complete fuzz by the time the edges are met.
This is another shot from our day in London after missing the Western Memorial railtour. We decided to travel round all the main termini and wait for the tour's arrival back at Paddington to at least say we saw it. In reality, by 7pm on a cold winters day we packed up and went home to Portsmouth!

Birmingham New Street: The Lickey Bankers had just dragged failed Peak 43 and it's train into New Street 28/08/1971.
43 was on 1S27 from Plymouth to Edinburgh Waverley.
7024 was withdrawn 01/72 & cut up at Swindon Works 11/72. 7022 lasted until 03/75 & was cut up by G Cohen, Kettering 01/77.
Note how the platform is crowded with young enthusiasts.
A line up of trainer vehicles at Doncaster Racecourse whilst Leicester Avenue depot was (presumably) being rebuilt. Far left is M101 (939 BWB) a Leyland PDR1 new on 19.07.62 alongside M12 (388 KDT) a PD2 new as 1188 on 01.10.63, M20 (477 HDT) a PD3 new is 1177 on 22.01.93 and lurking in the shade is Fleetline 1575 (NKU 575R) new on 26.01.77.
I dont have the date but if anyone can remember when Leicester Ave was shut, I'd love to know!
Various chassis at Doncasters Leicester Avenue depot with 1586 (UDT 186S), an East Lancs bodied Layland Atlantean (new on 04.07.78) creeping into the picture stands alongside Van Hool bodies Volvo Ailsa 429 (NAK 429R) new on 15.02.77, 1569 (NKU 569R), new 11.01.76 and 1571 (NKU 571R), new 22.01.77 and both East Lancs bodied Fleetlines
December 1984
I know the shadow of the signal falls across the front of the Peak, but it's still a wonderful reminder of what platform-ending was like back in the day.
We were in London ostensibly to be on the "Western Memorial" railtour. Ridiculously tight connections and the fear of escalators(!) made our party late and we missed the train. We did a couple of circuits of the major London termini before heading home somewhat disappointed!
This is one of Pete's early photographic efforts using the beast that was the Zenith E. I have done nothing more than enhance the contrast and colours slightly from the original sepia-like negative. I purposely didn't crop anything because I really like the clutter that makes the picture the memory-jerker it is.
45129 was withdrawn from service in June 1987. She was cut up at Vic Berry's yard in Leicester during November 1988. RIP.

A scene re-enacted hundreds of thousands of times and witnessed many, many times, but photographed just this once.
The Class 501 units were common both here at Euston and most anywhere around the North London Line.
A strange tale surrounds the last two remaining vehicles of the class. Saved for preservation, they eventually found their way to a private site near Finmere railway station on the former Great Central line. Unfortunately, the ongoing saga of HS2 has resulted in the pair moving again (due to HS2 crossing through the preservation site), this time to secure storage at MOD Bicester. Not a site Joe Public can visit.
The light flare on the left is not an angel or some spiritual being, it is merely another example of light bleed suffered by the Zenith B.

According to the superb www.napier-chronicles.co.uk
"The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers" is seen here just after being shunt-released from the 1A03 07:30 Leeds - King's Cross. She apparently then ran light engine to Finsbury Park where she remained until the following Monday morning.
This was the Saturday of our missed Western Memorial railtour. Although I still feel a little aggrieved at missing the tour, at least Pete managed to capture some images that cannot be repeated.
The trusty old Zenith B (still displaying its penchant for light seepage) has managed to capture the fact that 011 seems to be only running on the one engine.
55011 lasted in traffic until the 8th October 1981. She, like all her broken up sisters, met her end at Doncaster Works. In her case the final disposal date of November 1982 has been recorded. RIP.

D1058 Western Nobleman awaits departure with the 2B10 08.40 Plymouth - Penzance. Nobleman looked one of the rougher of the Westerns as they entered their twilight months and it soldiered on until its withdrawal date of 21/01/77, just over a month before the demise of the class.

"The field" was a one-time grassy area of waste ground adjoining the bus garage site at Stainforth. It was at the edge of a housing estate and was presumably owned by the local council. It was rather muddy and uneven but has been slightly improved over the years by the tipping of brick rubble, cinders and crushed stone to extend the parking area for buses. There was usually a selection of interesting vehicles there.
On this occasion 7014YG, a Guy Arab IV was the first of a series of Roe-bodied Guy 73-seat double-deckers which joined the fleet from 1962. It was weeks away from withdrawal following a collision with a motorcycle.
PYG403M, a 1974 Duple bodied Ford R192 PYG403M. It became SYPTE 1092.
RWY892F, a 1968 Guy Arab V with a Roe body was, on the last day of operation from the Reliance garage of R. Store Ltd. in Stainforth in March 1979, to leave the narrow road between Moorends and Rawcliffe and was rendered unserviceable.
HWW776J, was one of four Daimler Fleetline chassis purchased in 1969, but the volume of new buses in production meant that it was not until early in 1971 that they were completed by Roes of Leeds and licensed. It became SYPTE 1123.
I've been in the loft attempting to clear it out ready for our proposed move. Amongst all the junk, I found a box of railway paraphenalia that included several strips of negatives.
After some investigation (mostly through all my old spotting books!) I've managed to ascertain where most of the pictures were taken. What's not so clear is whether they are mine or my brother, Pete's original shots. If I have any doubt, then I'll accredit them to him.
The location here is undeniably St Pancras. Unfortunately I cannot deduce the identity of the two Peaks, but the Rat is certainly 25310 (the only one recorded as being seen at St Pancras that day).
I'm not sure what the original film was, but I have left it exactly as it has scanned. The almost sepia effect really works for me with this memory-jerker.
We were in London because we were supposed to be onboard the Western Memorial railtour. A friend's previously unknown paranoia of the London Underground system's escalators saw us miss the special. It took me another 30-odd years to get Wizzo haulage!
25310 was to later become 97250 (ETHEL1) used to provide electric heating on the West Highland sleeper services whilst the conversion of Class 37/0 to 37/4 was being made.
As such, she was withdrawn from service in August 1994 and swiftly cut-up at MC Metals in Glasgow. RIP.
