Another shot of the various defences on Kilnsea beach. They are big lumps of concrete! The tide was on tne way out and I guess I arrived about 30 minutes late to catch the best of it washing around these blocks.
In November 2019 heavy rain in the Rotherham area caused extensive flooding in the Denaby , Mexborough , Conisborough and Parkgate areas causing millions of pounds worth of damage.
Since then work has been taking place to reduce the risk of it happening again . The 6D03 1952 Tinsley SS - Immingham Nordic with 66134 up front passes one such site to right at Parkgate , where extensive tree felling has taken place .
In common with other places named above , the railway signalling has been placed on stilts .

Seen heading northbound on the M1 motorway at Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
No information at all on this vehicle.
Nothing on the DVLA website appears for this registration.
It looks like Plaxton Panther body work.
I reckon its an MOD (Ministry of Defence) vehicle similar to FE14 DGF which I have photographed and is believed to be MOD.
Early morning. Mayday walk at Pitstone Hill.
Looking out across one of the ditches still clearly defining this Iron Age site. Our ancestors presence in this land can be clearly felt up here. We thought it a fitting place to go for a walk at first light on 1st May.
Saturday morning at Pitstone Hill.
Some recent scrub clearance means you can now clearly see these Iron Age defences on the hillside.

Another shot from Brighton, taken the day before the workshop when a few of us met up to shoot. It was very bright and pretty windy, but this shot of the sea defences at Shoreham harbour turned out better than I thought it would. I also have a nice panoramic crop of this that will no doubt show up online one day.
Thanks to Noel Clegg for showing us this location, and to Mike Diblicek for driving us all around!
A fresco (1537) of the defence of Constantinople against Persians dressed as Turks in 626 appears on the south wall of Moldovita Monastery in Bukovina, Romania.
A bunker constructed in the middle 1930s to defend the large city of Liege. The defence lines contained over 300 bunkers. Seen in September 2022.
No.2 Battery, Gosport - Military Sea Defences 1879
The dramatic, stormy light over the old fort reminded me of the foreboding reason the menacing line of old sea defences was originally built.
A long line of military sea defences was built in 1879 to defend the Solent shores against attack.
No.2 Battery consisted of a sea facing high rampart to mount guns that could dominate the beach and a casemated set of three gun chambers to fire down the moat towards the east. A large range of earth covered casemated barracks held guns that fired westwards over Browndown. No.2 Battery was completely encircled by the Stokes Bay moat.
The strategy being that the fixed guns and mobile soldiers would fire down, along and diagonally across the moat and shore should any beach invasion be encountered.
No.2 Battery is now the home of a superb Diving Museum.
