Picton’s Harbour
The area covers the south and east edges of the Picton’s harbour and runs along Bridge Street. Buildings on the harbour originally served to support industry associated with shipping. As the transportation of goods shifted to land based methods, the once mercantile harbour has evolved to accommodate residential and recreational uses. There is a mix of residential and commercial buildings, as well as open space uses along the harbour. The harbour also functions as a tourist
destination with a boardwalk and docks for recreational boats.
Picton’s harbour has a rich and layered cultural history. Once used as a landing point in a network of aboriginal portage trails, and later informing the development pattern, transportation networks, and industrial and early economic history of Picton and Hallowell, the harbour is central to the cultural heritage of the area.
Up until the early 20th century, the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour were active warehouses with dredged and hardened docking areas for large vessels along the water’s edge. While the dockwalls remain largely intact to this day, all of the warehouse activity is now gone and most of the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour have been redeveloped as private residential and commercial sites.
The existing character of the streetscape within this area, along Bridge Street, is marked by what is no longer there rather than what currently is. The mouth of the harbour where the creek meets the bay was once a bustling intersection as a primary point of arrival and departure for passengers and goods. Streetwall buildings that met Bridge Street and extended towards Top-of-Hill acted as a physical connection of the harbour to the downtown core. Trading activity on the harbour spilled up from the harbour onto Bridge Street and funnelled to the commercial thoroughfare on Main Street. The vibrant streetscape character of the
area was lost with the demolition of the streetwall buildings and replacement with a modern strip mall at 18 Bridge Street.
Nevertheless, the remaining streetwall buildings at Bridge and Union Streets contribute to a terminating view and sense of arrival into the Town as one descends south-westward from the Loyalist Parkway.
Today, local residents and visitors alike are less aware of the harbour than they once were. At present, there is limited public access to the waterfront. A boardwalk provides access to marina slips, evidence of the harbour’s primary function as a
destination and launching point for recreational boating.
Despite its current diminished status, the harbour represents a hidden jewel for Picton, waiting to be re-discovered. The natural topography that defines the harbour basin, and which has continually informed patterns of movement and settlement in the area, remains intact. From the water, a dramatic approach to the
head of the harbour can still be experienced and, at a number of existing overlook points, a dramatic harbour-side townscape is revealed. Re-vitalizing the harbour, and re-connecting the harbour to the town represents a significant opportunity to
improve quality of life for residents and to attract more tourists, contributing to the economic vitality of the town.
One of many fascinating stores to be found in shopping centres in townships and township clusters such as Soweto. This store had used electrical goods for sale ( and perhaps repair too).
Within the intensive timetable of the GWSR's 'Cotswold Festival of Steam' gala, they did squeeze in a number of freight workings, which provided a very welcome, and varied sight from the normal diet of passenger workings.

Ex-works 20211 shunts Falkirk Grahamston goods yard on 23rd May 1978, with some contemporary railway vehicles on the right.
This was a Tinsley loco at the time, and I guess it had been overhauled at Glasgow Works then "borrowed" by Eastfield for some trip freight work. Not for long however, as I have seen a photo of it on a PW working at Warwick only 4 days later !
I was visiting the SRPS Wallace St Goods depot to the east of this, and luckily walked over with my Instamatic to take a picture of this class 20 whistling away in the goods yard. Not many photos taken here.
Nowadays this location is a Tesco car park, with their petrol station roughly where the vans are parked here.

BR Drury 0-6-0DM D2201 at Wisbech goods yard, on a cold wet day in November 1965.
The loco had entered service - as 11101 - in 1952, and took over services from ex-GER J70 Tram Engines, and this - the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway - became the first BR line to be operated entirely by diesel locomotives..
D2201 was withdrawn in April 1968, and scrapped in July. Nineteen ex-BR (Class 04) examples have been preserved, including one - D2203 - from this tramway.
Passenger services had ended as far back as 1927, and the line finally closed completely in May 1966, and D2201 hauled the last train.
Today (2020) this is the site of an industrial estate and car park.

The Bates Manufacturing Company was established in Lewiston, Maine in 1850 by Benjamin Bates. It quickly became one of the largest textile manufacturers in New England and transformed Lewiston from a struggling agricultural town into a booming industrial city. By 1857, the Bates Mill in Lewiston ran 36,000 spindles, employed 1,000 hands, and annually turned out 5.7 million yards of the best quality of cotton goods. Even after winning multiple achievements and awards for his textiles, including “Best Pantaloon Stuffs” and “Best Plain and Fancy Cotton Fabrics”, Bates wanted more. Accordingly, in 1858 the Bates Manufacturing Company wove the first Bates bedspread.
Upon the start of the Civil War, most New England mills started selling their cotton stock, assuming that the war would only last 90 days. Instead, Benjamin Bates bought as much cotton as he could find (despite the skyrocketing prices) and became the main supplier of Union textiles during the 4 year war. Even afterward, despite post-war depression, the Bates Manufacturing Company prospered and continued to expand. It was at this time that the French-Canadian population began to immigrate to Lewiston for work; even today the city of Lewiston continues to have a great French-Canadian influence (and many of the current mill workers have French-Canadian ancestors that began their American lives as mill workers).[Company website].
Lewiston is also the home of Bates College co-founded by Benjamin Bates.

Locomotive History
25299 was originally D7649 and was one of thirty-six class 25 locomotives (D7624 - D7659) built at the Manchester works of Beyer Peacock Ltd in 1966. Twenty-five locomotives (D7624 - D7649) of this batch entered traffic allocated to the Eastern Region (Sheffield) for local and inter-regional freight duties to the adjacent London Midland Region. 25299 was never fitted with train air brakes therefore despite being a late build class 25 its vacuum brake only status meant early withdrawal in October 1981, after only fifteen years service. After a short time dumped at Crewe 25299 was moved to Derby Works on the 14th February 1982 and was broken up three months later in May 1982.
