Last week I attend a day of presentations & work shops on offshore wind energy generation at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton. Organized by Envirolink Northwest, the event hosted speeches from numerous leaders in the renewable energy sector. That evening it seemed only appropriate to head down to Burbo Bank for the sunset & try to capture some photographs containing Liverpool coastline's very own wind farm.

Here's my mini tour of the beautiful, highly ornate Hammersmith Bridge in West London. The original iron suspension bridge was constructed in 1827 at a cost of £45,341 by Mr. William Tierney Clark, but because of the accumulated damage caused by heavy traffic and up to 12,000 people at a time crowding onto the bridge every year to watch the famous University Boat Race - causing the roadway to dip eighteen inches below its maximum margin - the bridge became structurally damaged and was pulled down and rebuilt by Sir Joseph Bazalgette (the genius Victorian civil engineer who designed London's sewerage system and saved the city from "The Great Stink" and the frequent cholera epidemics that were making London a lethal place to be!)

If this space looks large, think again, it was very small. Although the chairs look like regular office chairs they were only about 10 inches across.
"Known locally as the Navi, Partridge Jones & Co. Ltd. began stinking this colliery in 1907. Two shafts were completed in 1911 at a depth of 512 yards, it was well known for the very rich Blackvein seam, which in places reached a thickness of 18 feet. Employed 439 in 1945, nationalised in 1947."
Auf der Autobahn hat ein Navi nicht viel zu tun. Es geht immer geradeaus. Statt stundenlang vorbeifliegende Feldwege zu zeigen, könnte der Bildschirm auch so aussehen. Schön ruhig. Und die Infos alle im Blick.
Was mich nämlich interessiert ist bloß dies:
# Wie weit bis zur nächsten Abfahrt, die ich nehmen muss?
# Wie weit bis zum nächsten Parkplatz bzw. zur nächsten Raststätte?
# Wo muss ich mit Stau rechnen?

Marion lends a hand with our course. As the torrential downpour slowed, we made for île-des-Frères, one of the many islands in the river. In fact, this stretch of the Ottawa River is known as the 'Rivière des Mille Îles' - river of a thousand islands.
My camera only remained dry because when the rain started, it went inside my laptop sleeve, into my messenger bag, then the whole package was swaddled in my hoodie. Everything but the camera got wet.

George Billington lock, the first on the navigation when approaching from Evesham, was the third of the new locks to be built. It was constructed in November and December 1969, with the chamber completed and gates hung by the 15th December 1969. This new lock took the place of the lower Harvington lock, the remains of which can be found on the left bank a few hundred metres downstream. The water level up to Harvington lock is now controlled by the weir/ford that crosses from Anchor Meadow to the Fish and Anchor Inn, at Offenham.
Following the completion of the lock, a water main was lowered under the upstream lock cut and a bridge built to accommodate a right of way across Anchor Meadow. The remains of lower Harvington weir were removed in January 1970 and a substantial programme of dredging undertaken to provide a navigable depth above and below George Billington lock.
On the 30th May 1970 the first boat, Stan Clover’s tug Sharpness, navigated up to and through the George Billington lock, minutes after the downstream lock cut had been opened up to the river.
This photograph is one of a series showing the construction of the navigation works for two periods during the ‘restoration’. The first period covers May 1969 to the end of July 1970, during which time the first three locks; George Billington, Harvington (Robert Aickman) and Marlcliff (I.W.A.) were built. The second period was June 1971 to June 1972 which spanned the construction of Barton (Elsie & Hiram Billington), Luddington (Stan Clover) and Stratford (Colin P. Witter) Locks.
The Upper Avon from Evesham to a junction with the Southern Stratford Canal, in Stratford on Avon, was restored to through navigation by the Upper Avon Navigation Trust between 1969 and 1974, when it was formally re-opened by the Queen Mother. The navigation had been abandoned in the 19th Century and very little of the former navigation works remained. It was made navigable again by building nine new locks and three new weirs and by dredging a substantial length of the river to provide a navigable depth.
