I was privileged enough to be involved in a bit of history this Summer - buses have no been parked on Castlegate for many years.
As part of Silver City Stories, the FirstGroup Heritage Trust were asked to put on a display of buses from past to present at the city's Castlegate, along with an open top tour linking the other venues.
We got great weather and a fantastic turn out from the public. Bonuses for myself were covering a run on the open top tour and driving our Hydrogen VanHool in parade down Union Street on the Sunday evening. A fantastic weekend overall.
Seen at Castlegate on Saturday 1st July 2017.

Grantham, St Wulfram's Church. The Nave with pillars with decorated shafts and carved capitals are from late Norman cruciform church c 1180 and they originally had semi-circular arches. The pair of double pillars mark the west wall of the Norman church. The rood screen, the roofs and the open-plan layout all date from the 1860s. The church is a grade 1 listed building, restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott 1866/7. It dates from the medieval period. It has a wealth of detail in the carvings. In 1550 the south aisle was lengthened and the Lady Chapel was built.

In 1550 the south aisle was lengthened and the Lady Chapel was built. The spire is the 6th tallest in the UK, and is believed to have been modelled on Salisbury Cathedral. The exterior has changed little since 1500, however the tower and spire required extensive restoration in 2015..

A trip on the bus to Sheffield meant most of the time was spent with a B&W film camera but a couple of digital photos
Completed in 2000 this footbridge links Stockton's Castlegate Centre with the campus of Durham University at Stockton and other new developments on that side of the Tees. It is suspended from cables hung from a 40 metre high mast and was built under a design and construct contract, won by a team comprising Ove Arup and Birse Construction North East and opened in December 2000.
There are many new buildings on both banks of the river and a road runs along the riverbank on the town side. The bridge is popular with students and townsfolk alike, and good views of the river are obtainable from its footway.

From my collection. This scanned postcard (publisher unknown - reference PT35410), shows 1955 AEC Regent V/Crossley 207 (HRG 207) on the left, and beyond that in the centre, one of the 1961 batch of Daimler CVG6/Alexander 288 - 297 (RRG 288 - 297).
207 is identifiable by the unique set of adverts it carried - Black Velvet Port (rear upper), Harpers for Ford (rear lower) and Martell Brandy (offside).
Adverts on the 1961 bus are - Fyffes bananas (rear upper), John Begg whisky (rear lower) and John Begg whisky (offside). The rear lower advert was a sign-written one applied when the bus was new. The side advert was a paper one. When new many of the 1961 buses carried sign-written adverts for Harpers for Ford or Tuborg lager.

CASTLEGATE GETS GREY TO GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The scheme links Castlegate to the under-visited ‘hidden jewel’ of Victoria Quays and has transformed the almost redundant former inner ring road from a barrier to a green corridor with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art.
Castlegate (the Street) has been closed to vehicles to create a large riverside terrace with potential to accommodate outdoor seating for existing and future cafes and bars including the former public toilet due to open as the Two Rivers Bar and the Tap and Barrel, now under new management by the Peddlers Market team. The street will also hold the newly established Sheffield Pollen Market, the first fresh flower market in Sheffield, which will take place every third Sunday of the month.
Fifty-seven new trees have been planted as part of the scheme, along with a multitude of low maintenance perennial meadow plants and bulbs which will provide a year long succession of colour and natural habitat for insects, birds and mammals.
The scheme includes four distinctive, specially designed ‘totems’ containing ‘bug hotels’ which provide places for bees and other insects to thrive, along with nature and heritage insights.

In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ˈkeɪsən/ or /ˈkeɪsɒn/) is a watertight retaining structure used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, or for the repair of ships.
Aberdeen Harbour’s £350-million expansion has reached another landmark stage with the first 6,000-tonne caisson beginning its journey to South Harbour today, Monday 25th February 2019.
The concrete unit departed from Cromarty Firth this evening and will have an anticipated 48-hour arrival period into Aberdeen South Harbour between Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th February, weather and tide dependent.
The first caisson measures 50 meters long, 15 meters wide and an incredible 16 meters deep and will be used to form the closed quay section of the development. In order to transport the caisson safely, it will travel the 180-nautical mile journey at two nautical miles per hour, escorted by ‘The Strathdee’ towage vessel.
Once the caisson has safely arrived in South Harbour, GPS equipment will be used to position it into its designated location with an accuracy of +/- 20mm. It will then be filled with water to sink it to the sea bed. When in place, various fill material will be used to displace the water. The process from arrival to sinking takes approximately 30 hours.
A total of 22 caissons will form the foundations of Castlegate and Dunnottar Quays, which will be 540 and 400 meters long respectively.
Keith Young, Engineering Director at Aberdeen Harbour Board, said: “The arrival of the first caisson in South Harbour will be significant milestone in the expansion project, and a logistical achievement for us all. I would like to congratulate and thank everyone who has been involved in the design, manufacture, transport and positioning of these caissons.
“Aberdeen South Harbour is of vital significance for our region and the rest of the country, and we look forward to the remaining caissons arriving as the project progresses.”
The caissons have been manufactured in La Coruna in North-west Spain and travel more than 1,000 miles by sea to the Cromarty Firth for quality checks and inspections. They are then individually towed to Aberdeen, when required, as construction of South Harbour continues.
In accordance with maritime tradition, each caisson is named after a family member of someone closely involved with the expansion project. The first caisson to arrive will be named ‘Caisson Brenda’ – named after the Aberdeen Harbour Board’s Chief Executive’s mother.
