Another scene from Wansford station. Super place for photos.

 

Possibly this is worth a zoom-in click to see the sharpness of this "Skopar" lens, the overhead gantry for example.

But is it a tool-shed? A strange design but clearly it works well enough. From a walk near Empingham.

This is an old packhorse bridge at Bottesford, built in 1605. Apparently it was built by a Dr Fleming who had fallen off his horse while fording this stream and was upset about it. :-)

 

Nice timeless black and white scene.

Another glamour location, the station at Stoke is quite dark but is otherwise architecturally fairly decent if not outstanding. It also has a bar and a cafe. This was taken on my travels with work.

This is a 12th century church which is apparently in "very bad" condition, "immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric; no solution agreed". Population of Stibbington is about 200.

I always quite like the perspective which is emphasised at railways, lots of lines vanishing to a point in the distance. I took this photo on a work trip to Macclesfield, about 8 hours of travel to attend an in-person Teams meeting...

I took this as all the brickwork and all the tiling in this town is really lovely. Where I live we have flat "slates" on the roofs (actually thin limestone) so these pantiles are quite a sight for me at least.

A nice contrast between the man-made and the natural, the old and the new, and the attractive stone and the fugly tables and chairs (which do have a certain appeal to be fair). Wish I could remember where this is, it's in a church, probably Empingham. Harvest time or thereabouts.

Some super brickwork in this backstreet area of Macclesfield. It's between Sunderland Street and the river Bollin, I guess it might have been a wharf area of the river was once navigable (before the trains came I guess).

The railway bridge over the River Nene by NVR Wansford. If it has a name I can't find it on google so far.

 

Clear blue skies for this shot so I tried to minimise them in the scene, pointing the camera down a little bit.

This is the Old National School at Bourne, which was set up in 1830 as the first primary education provider in the town. The National School was a charitable foundation. In 1877 the role of the National School was replaced by a council school. The building is now the local Conservative Club.

 

Mainly a record-keeping photo tbh, the building is a bit drab.
