West Approach Road opened c.1974 although its junction with Lothian Road was relocated later. Today it is at the northern end of the former Lothian Rd Goods Station site. West Approach Rd utilises the ex CR route into Princes Street Station.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
After some additional ballasting and rehab work following the initial re-opening in late 2014, by 2016 I observed several of the aggregate trains doing 25 MPH on the old C&NW jointed rail. Not this time, however. Was hoping to catch the units working a little harder with the >120 MTs. At least it allowed for some additional shots.

N467 approaches Wandong with 8333 Shepparton passenger. Due to a shortage of carriages, many regional services are operating as three car trains, requiring buses to supplement train services. V/Line has also sensibly restricted the carriage of "local" passengers on these services to ensure more seats are available for those passengers travelling further.

Workers place Geofoam blocks at the site of the north approach to the southbound SR 99 roadway bridge. The approach is where a highway transitions from ground level to a bridge. The Geofoam is a fill material that will support the roadway pavement. Learn more about construction underway to replace the south end of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
This is a potted history of Fitch Lovell meat division aka West Layton Ltd
It all started in 1950 when Fitch Lovell bought 7 shops called Layton & Burkett, Things seemed to go well even though rationing was on,
So they were approached by Bernard Thompson who went on to be a Smithfield trader he had 10 good shops in North London which they bought.
T M Cox was next with 4 good shops in the East end, Cox,s wife being Miss Cornell of John Best ltd fame,
By 1958 Layton & Burkett had grown to 49 shops with Cox in charge, Boosted by the acquisition of Edgley,s
By now Layton & Burkett were in a strong position so they merged with West Butchers who had built up a good group of 80 shops by Jim Preston which included Parish & Summerfield & Baldwin bros
Other Co,s acquired were Kemsleys,(13) (kent) E W Cripps(1) (sussex) Harts(1) (chichester).Wells bros (1)(guildford) Trotmans (1)of Newbury, Fitzpatricks (1)of Edmonton, John Best 1 at 34 Broadway.
Enter the Gunner side of the business, Started by Bob Gunner he opened butchers & provision shops in equal numbers & by 1960 had 118 shops, He went of to Canada to pursue other interest & sold out to Joseph Richards who had 40 shops which included Chalk & Cox,
Joe suffered with ill health & approached Fitch Lovell to merger which was accepted & the resulting company was called West Gunner some 250 shops.
Although Gunner & West Layton shops ran seperately but used the companys Highland food products for their small goods,
West which by then was the main trading name suffered the might of the Supermarkets in the 70,s & 80,s.
Fitch Lovell sold their West Gunner chain now down to just over a 106 branches to Union International in 1983 (Vestey) Dewhurst for £4.1 million,

Irish Beach in Mendocino county. I think I could live out my life on this beach with a camera and never get bored.
This abandoned 1960s building is Ossington Court in Northern Moor, and Ian Simpson's next target. He did Urbis, Beetham Tower, No. 1 Deansgate, and has several other Manc projects coming up. To see what this block of flats will look like after 5.3 million pounds, take a look at his Flash-heavy website and click on Projects -> Residential -> Ossington Court...
