Note: See earlier pieces in this series for details about the use of Adrian's photographic collection, both negative and digital.
** The eleventh in a series of 'look-back' mosaics using pictures recently made available to me from Adrian Wynn's archive, as we start the new year, I hope you enjoy these as much as I have putting them together from Adrian's most interesting Archive...
* Preamble
We both visited this area together in 2019, shortly before Adrian died and I visited as long ago as 2013, on my own, to make the Mosaic pice on 'The Killamarsh Junctions', see-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/11467602856/
Whilst my older pictures are still relatively contemporary, they are swamped by the magnificent images collected by Adrian, 12 in all, all taken in this area in 35mm & 60x60mm black & white media. Two sets of four have been selected, representing movements on the Great Central/L.D.E.C.R. lines and the North Midland, 'Old Road' lines, from the 12 available; 4 remain for a future date maybe..
In this second set of 4 pictures, the location is along the North Midland, 'Old Road', lines passing through the Killamarsh area to the west of the site. The Killamarsh area was noted for having no less than three local railway stations, 1 on each of the 3 separate company lines passing due north-south and close to the village centre; The Midland to the west, the Great Central next to the east and finally, the L.D.E.C.R. to the east. In the heyday of passenger use of the railways, all three routes were much used and the stations were given names to reflect the lines on which they were situated; Killamarsh West on the Midland, Killamarsh Central and just a little further to the east and south, was Upperthorpe & Killamarsh on the LDECR. The 3 stations were close to each other and aligned on a diagonal line to the south-east from the Midland Station, Central Station being 354m from the Midland and Upperthorpe & Killamarsh a further 272m south-east from Central Station, now there are no stations in this area at all, the Midland lines being the only ones to have survived through the area...
Regarding processing of both sets of shots. All of these, as well as the earlier GCR shots, have had some work done on them to remove a multitude of white & black specks, and much cloning out of white 'curly hair' marks, in addition, some enhancing of localised tone and sharpness, the latter particularly for the loco numbers, has been applied. As these shots were taken in the 'standard way for these times', with one third up to around a half of the picture taken up by bright sky, this affects the overall exposure of the shot so some light gradient filtering has also been applied to the top half of those so affected...
1. 48748. In the upper left picture is the first L.M.S., 'London Midland & Scottish Railway' loco, designed by 'William Stanier' and is class 8F-A, 4-6-0, number 48748, looking in pretty good condition for the early 60s. It looks to be working a modest set of flat-bed wagons, south and has just come under the Cow Lane bridge in the background, further back behind the train, the buildings of Brookhouse Colliery can can be made out whilst Beighton Colliery, further over to the west is around the corner. The two collieries were bounded by the Midland lines to the west, the GCR's Lincoln lines to the north and the Waleswood Curve snaking up from Killamarsh Junction and passing to the south-east of Brookhouse to join the Lincoln line, east of Waleswood Station.
Bridges. Cow Lane bridge was one of the 4 bridges which carried access ways over 1 or more of the 3 rail formations, Midland, GCR & LDECR, the tracks/lanes passing underneath and allowed access to the southern part of what was known as Wales Common. The other 3 sets of bridges passing over the tracks just a little further north were, Meadow Gate Lane, which went over the GCR lines first, then the Midland line, the GCR lines having crossed over the Midland line from East to West just south of this bridge on the GCR's skewed lattice bridge; it is shown in the picture to the right of this one. Meadow Gate Lane then went underneath the higher level LDECR lines, this 2nd lane finally allowing access to Waleswood Common, the land which stood on the northern side of the Waleswood area. The third bridge further north and long ago removed, took another track, School Lane, over the rails, from Beighton Cemetery to the west, the lane passing directly over all three sets of lines allowing access to the Bedgreave Mill area near the River Rother. Finally, the 4th bridge, still extant and once close to the Holbrook Colliery signalbox, is on the section of the GCR's line which takes their traffic over to Woodhouse Junction and on to Sheffield. This is a lattice footbridge and in the last year or so has received some renovation work to make the structure more safe, the footbridge path then continues over to a another footbridge a few hundred yards to the east, and this bridge takes the path over the Midland lines and finally into the northern end of what is now the Rother Valley Country Park close to where the River Rother passes east into the area. The southern corner of the area of land between the Midland lines and the GCR's lines from Beighton Jn. to Woodhouse Jn, is where the Thomas Ward loco scrapyard was situated. The land is of course now occupied by a different sort of 'scrap business', the 'Advanced Metal Innovation Co. Ltd.', recycling in a different form...
Back to the main attraction... Its a very great happenstance, and I have said this before, though not a fan of the multitude of pylon structures now striding across our natural spaces, that they are very useful markers when attempting to locate where trains are passing through, 60 or more years ago! It would be interesting to know what the wording is on the tarpaulin cover of that 2nd wagon is, there is one on the 6th wagon, even more unreadable. The 2nd one looks like '??AR50' maybe and appears to be standing quite prominent, the other one is impossible to read, there is the usual guard's van at the back, just about to come under Cow Lane bridge.
What is that phrase, from L. P. Hartley's 1953 book, 'The Go-Between', 'The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there..'
2. 63646. In the second picture at upper right, we move a little further north along the Midland line and see yet another Thompson locomotive, having juts come under the massive GCR's skewed lattice girder bridge and is heading north with a rake of the usual 16-ton metal-bodied mineral wagons, this one looking to be carrying coal. Its a shame one or two of the 12 negatives from Adrian's collection didn't have a move along the GCR and Midland lines with the GCR train crossing the bridge at the same time, through shouldn't complain as these are worthy pictures in their own right. Once again the area is bestrewn with then ubiquitous set of multi-wire telegraph posts which also carried wires from the signalboxes to various locations, including other boxes of course. The over-pressure regulators are 'blowing' as the set is now going down a very gentle gradient towards Beighton Junction. This is class 2-8-0, an O1 this time but rebuilt from an O4, 63646 of Gorton Shed, 39A, designed by Edward Thompson and introduced in 1944. Doesn't the permanent way look clean and tidy in this shot, and in most of them actually. In the background, underneath the GCR's lattice bridge, still in situ, see left-hand picture here-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/47438653482/
is the Cow Lane bridge seen in the earlier picture behind 48748, this track connected Filed Farm with Cow Lane on the western side of the tracks with land over in Killamarsh Meadows at Waleswood Common to the east, the track also passing over the Killamarsh single line branch which took rail traffic to and from the Kiveton Park Colliery. The farm has long since gone and the land, like all the other available space on that side of the tracks, has been occupied by industrial works here on the southern half and by a large housing estate, Sothall on the northern half...
3. 45221. At lower left, its back once more, further south, near the Sheffield Road bridge in Killamarsh which is out of view in the distance so this picture of a north-bound working, will have been taken from the Cow Lane, seen in the background in the picture above. Once gain the over-pressure regulator is blowing a bit of steam on this level section of track with, in the background, some wagons parked up on the Midland's sidings next to the road bridge. The Midland's station was just under the road bridge and with 2 other stations in the area, for the GCR, Central, and the LDECR, Upperthorpe & Killamarsh, this one was known as Killamarsh West. This is the 2nd of the photographs taken on the 4th May, 1963 and at that time all the trackwork in the Killamarsh area was still in place and in regular use, the line on the left, coming out towards the camera and veering off to the east is the Killamarsh Branch line which passed under both the GC and LDECR lines then on to pass the Norwood Colliery, finally heading directly east to Kiveton Park Colliery on the GCR's Lincoln line. Also prominently on view in the upper left background is the 'Glovers Victoria(Valley) Flour Mill' with the GCR line passing in front of it, and to the right of the Mill, a little distance off to the right, is the engine shed at the end of the GCR's Central Station, barely visible just above the loco's steam, in the haze of this May 1963 picture. This train is headed by William Stanier designed class 4-6-0, 'Black Five', 5MT, 45221 on a mixed freight with mainly 'Vanfit' type wagons in the consist. It has an interesting history and ended its days in this area. Built in November 1935, by Armstrong Whitworth, it was 1st allocated to 25F, Low Moor and its last shed was 9B, Stockport Edgeley. Being withdrawn just before the end of steam on British Railways, on 31st December, 1967, it was 'disposed of' here in this area at the Thomas Ward Scrapyard between the Midland and GCR lines at Beighton Junction.. see-
www.railuk.info/steam/getsteam.php?row_id=10163
for all the class 5MT details.
To the right of the train at the other side of the embankment, is the Holbrook Colliery branch line which diverged off the GCR's main line just north of Beighton Junction, right next to the Holbrook Colliery Sidings signalbox and extended all the way along to here, parallelling the Midland lines, to Holbrook Colliery which occupied a large area off to the right. Unlike the space further north of the Midland lines, the area once occupied by Holbrook Colliery is now a 'park' and on Google Earth its still possible to see where the railway tracks were located on the cleared site. The Midland lines are of course the only formation which remain, the other two companies who once had a significant presence in this area have long since gone, the GCR in 1966 and the as for the LDECR, the Beighton line was closed to local passenger services from 10 September 1939 though excursions continued, the LDECR's Upperthorpe & Killamarsh station having closed as long ago as 7th July 1930. The line closed as a through route on 9 January 1967 whilst colliery traffic continued to use the line as far south as Westhorpe Colliery, this side of Spinkhill Tunnel. That colliery closed in 1984 and thereafter the LDECR lines were removed except for one very short run-around loop at Beighton, though that was disconnected in 2019. One of the last workings to use it can be seen in September 2015, here-

4. 90775. Finally for this two-part Killamarsh set, at lower right the view now looks in the opposite direction from the previous picture with Waleswood Common behind the pylons and the Killamarsh South Junction signalbox visible in the upper left background. I think this picture is taken from the Sheffield Road over-bridge in Killamarsh, which spanned the Midland line here, the road then passing under the GCR and LDECR lines a little further to the east. A different type of traction is now on view, this time its a class 2-10-0, War Department, 'Austerity', a 'W.D. 8F', 90775 and again, the loco looks to have more steam 'up' than it needs. It is hauling a long rake of empty flat-bed wagons which may explain the excess steam being available out of the regulator, it has got a clear run through to the south passing the sidings, as seen in the picture to the left, now of discarded locos to the south of a rake of similarly parked wagons; there is no date for this picture unfortunately. Beyond the parked up scrap? locos at right, one of the GCR's bridges can be seen at far right, spanning the River Rother whilst just behind it is a similar bridge on the LDECR but out of view here. Further along to the left, north, with the two line formations easy to see, the LDECR above the GCR in front of it, and another 3 bridges are visible, the foreground one with 'white' top is the Cow Lane under-bridge on the GCR. Whilst behind it at a higher level and to the left is the large LDECR over-bridge for the Midland's Waleswood Branch to Kiveton Park Colliery and to its right, another over-bridge for the Cow Lane track; took some working out this did! Looks like the drains on the left are going to have some attention in due course as the 8F trundles south, its number, though appearing to be referred to online, see-
preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/90775-wd-3652-wd-763...
is not the original one built, the above stating, '..The engine is numbered 90775, as the last British Railways engine of the same design was numbered 90774. 90775 was never owned by BR...', as none of these engines were preserved by B.R., the renumbered loco is now on the North Norfolk Railway. B.R.s 8F's were numbered 90750-90774 and none of them survived, see-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Class_%CE%9B%CE%B2
so this is one of the repatriated Greek 8Fs which did survive, along with a few others... So, this turns out to be quite a special photograph... I am still in a bit of a quandary as to exactly why this loco, picture taken in the 1960s has 90775 on the front, as the repatriation of them from abroad surely wouldn't have meant they weer back on B.R. metals a few years before all steam was withdrawn. Anyone have any ideas about this...
Note: for some reason the Pylon at left has its top missing/cloned out, but nothing to do with me, the original negative wasn't available so I couldn't re-scan it...
Given the amount of time I spent in the garden today (yay for sunshine), I decided to eschew the more obvious Easter theme for today, and instead share a photo of these dragonfly pot hangers we have that I really love.

she was given the world so much that she couldn't see. and she needed someone to show her who she could be. and she tried to survive wearing her heart on her sleeve but i needed you to believe. you had your dreams, i had mine. you had your fears, i was fine. you showed me what i couldn't find, when two different worlds collide. she was scared of it all, watching from far away. she was given a role, never knew just when to play. and she tried to survive living her life on her own. always afraid of the throne, but you've given me strength to find home. you had your dreams, i had mine. you had your fears, i was fine. you showed me what i couldn't find, when two different worlds collide. i was scared, unprepared, lost in the dark, falling apart. i can survive with you by my side. we're gonna be alright. this is what happens when two worlds collide ♥

I was given the opportunity this year to sponsor the Budget Savvy Bridal Show that was put on by Totally Beautiful Moments and MBT Marketing Solutions.
Just at the look of the crowd that nearly filled every available space in the building, I'd say the event was a success! I was blessed with the duty of capturing the event and manning my booth during the event, which turned out to be pretty interesting. It turned out better than I thought and I was able to talk with several prospects to say the least. Mrs. Peterson had to do some school work and be mom, so she was unable to woman the booth this time around. She owes me one!!! Here is what happened at the show. To see what happened on the Red Carpet, check out my man JMF Photography!
Stay tuned...more to come.

Life is interesting…we are given these tiny gifts….we are to keep them safe…mold them…care for them…nurture them….and teach them….I think that the majority of us as parents just want what is best for our children and I think that in the end all we want for them is to trust us as parents and to be happy with whatever decisions they make…I am ill at the thought that somebody could do something like this www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18937421/ and be so selfish….
Our children trust us even though they probably don’t say it outright…they do…and to take that trust and turn it around and do something like this….it kills me….
I think that it is our responsibility as a community to be aware….mind you, aware doesn’t mean be all up in somebody’s grill day in day out…but be aware of any warning signs of abuse or neglect or any references to threats and report those threats to the authorities…for all we know it may have been the father seeking revenge but I think that even though we try our damndest to protect who we are and our families and our privacy…I think that every now and then it’s okay to butt in and lend a helping hand……peace….

Attendees are given tour of the Austin Community College ACCelerator after a press conference by ICUT and the College Consortium Presidents at the ACC Highland campus on Tuesday, October 3, 2017.
Given how far beneath the city we started, you'd think we wouldn't need to descend any further. It wasn't much -- maybe 10-20 meters.
I was given an impromptu tour by a fireman who was just proud of his job and eager to share. And possibly a little bored. His counterpart next door at Ladder Company 117 also served as an excellent tour guide, it should be noted. Thanks to the two of them, I finally learned the difference between an engine company and a ladder company.
