The Ribblehead or Batty Moss Viaduct was completed in 1874 by a workforce of 2300 men, 100 of whom lost their lives by a combination of accidents, smallpox and fights. They lived with their families in shanty towns near the base of the structure. The viaduct carries the rail lines for the Settle to Carlisle railway in Yorkshire across the Batty Moss Valley in Northern England. It is 400 metres long and 32 metres high.
When I took this image, the temperature was just 3 degrees Celsius and a bitingly cold wind made the actual temperature -3 degrees! I struggled for some time to find a composition as I wanted something in the foreground to add depth to the image. The rocks I feel provide that depth and also help to balance the image. The image itself is a blend of 5 images because of the difference in exposure between the sky and the land.
Lyveden New Build
Not a ruin but an Elizabethan summer house that was never completed. Begun by Sir Thomas Tresham, the building remains incomplete & virtually unaltered since his death in 1605.
Round barn constructed in 1870 and used to break horses. What a delight to walk inside and find two Great Horned Owls waiting for me. :)
The lighthouse has helped guide ships and other mariners throughout its entire existence along the Lake Huron shoreline since 1886.

Llandudno Pier is a Grade II* listed pier in the seaside resort of Llandudno, North Wales. At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. In 2005 and 2025, it was voted "Pier of the Year" by the members of the National Piers Society.
At the end of the pier is a deep-water landing stage, completely rebuilt for the third time in 1969, which is used by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for occasional excursions to Douglas, Isle of Man, and for an annual visit of the PS Waverley or the MV Balmoral preserved steamers.
Early wooden pier
The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74 m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company, which had just completed its branch line from Llandudno to Conwy via a junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway near the present Llandudno Junction railway station to which the branch was soon diverted. That short pier was built to protect the rights of its owners to a much more ambitious scheme to build a major port in Llandudno Bay. The pier was severely damaged in the Royal Charter Storm of 25 October 1859,[1] which caused the loss of 223 ships and 800 people in British coastal waters. Although repaired and used for a further 16 years, the pier was too short and could only be used by steam ships at high tide.

Opening date1 August 1877
The new pier was reported to have cost around £30,000 (equivalent to £3,700,000 in 2023) to construct. The first pile was driven by Lord Arthur Hill-Trevor on 16 September 1876, initiating the start of a 10-month construction period.[9] By this time, 110 feet (34 m) of pier had already been completed
