The "Stop Lock" at Hawkesbury Junction.
This is the Junction of the Coventry Canal and the Oxford Canal. Also the end of the Coventry Canal Art Trail, the start of the Sowe Valley Footpath plus a point on the Warwickshire Centenary Way!
The original name for Plymouth was Sutton, and it was only in the 20th century that we saw the vast expansion of Plymouth to take in and absorb neighbouring towns to become the vast metropolis that we know today. The oldest part of modern-day Plymouth is the Barbican, which is on the south side of Sutton Harbour, and from where this picture was taken. There are several marinas in the waters around Plymouth, and this is one of them.
68014 is seen at the classic location overlooking Kings Sutton as it passes hauling 1J53 18:07 London Marylebone - Stourbridge Junction. The locomotive carries a special livery celebrating its use of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) as a sustainable fuel.
The coaching set in tow, AL03 is currently formed up with just 5 coaches rather than the usual 6 + DVT. These Mk3 coaches are now very much in the twilight of their careers as a deal has now finally been struck for Chiltern Railways to take on the 13 sets of Mk5 coaches made redundant by Transpennine.
Training has already begun with the newer trains, which could displace the ageing Mk3's by the end of the year, together with a different set of class 68 locomotives, all of which it is intended will be HVO powered.
SB CN train M342 is rolling through Sutton siding with a nice looking C40-8M in the lead. I did not think I would get this shot due to a meet was set up at this siding. The NB sand train arrived first. Normally this shot would be blocked out by a normal size train. But today, a very short sand train is in the siding, leaving this end wide open. Also lucked out on the mostly cloudy sky cooperating with a decent size hole for the sun to shine down!
Sutton House is a National Trust property in Hackney. That would be unusual enough but it’s a Grade II listed Tudor manor house in Hackney. Despite its misleading Georgian frontage, this 16th-century home has nearly 500 years of history. A rare example of a Tudor red-brick house, it was built by a courtier of Henry VIII. It has been home to a succession of merchants, Huguenot silk weavers, Victorian schoolmistresses, Edwardian clergy and 1980s squatters, plus headquarters for a 20th-century trade union.

The original name for Plymouth was Sutton, and it was only in the 20th century that we saw the vast expansion of Plymouth to take in and absorb several neighbouring towns to become the vast metropolis that we know today. There are several marinas in the waters around Plymouth, and this is one of them, in the heart of Sutton Harbour in the centre of Plymouth. There is a large fish market on the east side of the harbour - in the distance - and this is where most of the fishing boats are moored when they are not at sea.
Sutton Valence Castle is a Norman stone keep and bailey fortress, founded by Baldwin de Béthune, count of Albermarle. Standing against an escarpment, are the broken ragstone walls of a small 12th century two storey keep, with a square forebuilding. The castle was abandoned in the 14th century.
The park is mainly comprised of grassed areas with areas of woodland and avenues of trees. The lake is located in the south east of the park, and is well used by anglers and walkers. Rumbles café is located to the west of the site and is located close to the play areas, a skate park, ball court and outdoor gym. The site also has bowling and tennis clubs.
Very strong winds were driving the snow in sideways in Sutton Poyntz in Dorset the other night. Made for a lovely scene though ⛄️💨❄️

20214 & 20170 are at Sutton Colliery, although I did not know it at the time of my visit 25/07/1989 this colliery was to close 18 days later on 11/08/1989, it was closed through exhaustion of viable coal reserves. Today it is a Country Park
The colliery was situated north of Sutton-in-Ashfield,i t was reached by rail from the Silver Hill Colliery Branch which left the Erewash Valley at a junction near Tibshelf.
The train loading at Sutton was complicated in that the MGR had to be split in two, each section loaded and then coupled up to form a full train. The picture shows a loaded half train with 20214 leading leaving the loader, the pit head gear still flies the flag.
20214 was built by English Electric, it entered service new to Thornaby 20/05/1967 as D8314 it was withdrawn 09/06/1993 and lives on in preservation.
20170 was built at English Electric as D8170, it entered service 25/10/1966. The loco was withdrawn 15/11/1991 and scrapped at MC Metals (Springburn) 12/09/1993

The Parish Church of Saint Michael
View of the Nave & Arcades
The village of Sutton Bonnington is located in the Rushcliffe district of south Nottinghamshire.
Sutton Bonington is an unusual village in that it has two medieval churches, St Michael's and St Anne's, a legacy from the days when Sutton and Bonington were two separate villages.
The church of St Michael was originally the parish church for Bonington, it has a 15th century west tower topped by a 135ft high spire.
The original name for Plymouth was Sutton, and it was only in the 20th century that we saw the vast expansion of Plymouth to take in and absorb neighbouring towns to become the vast metropolis that we know today. Sutton Harbour is immediately to the south of Plymouth's city centre.
There are several marinas in the waters around Plymouth, and this is the innermost one, in Sutton Harbour itself. There is also a large fish market on the east side of the harbour, and this is where most of the fishing boats are moored when they are not at sea. On the west side of Plymouth alongside the River Tamar is Devonport, which is home to the largest naval base in western Europe.
