East Midlands Trains 156406 stands in the turn back platform at Mansfield Woodhouse, 15th November 2017. Mansfield Woodhouse station is on the Robin Hood line which was reopened in stages starting with Nottingham to Newstead in 1993, extending to Mansfield Woodhouse in 1995 and Worksop in 1998. It does not seem over twenty years since the Nottingham - Mansfield service was re-instated.

 

Unit History

156406 is one of a one hundred a fourteen 2 car diesel multiple units built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath between 1988 and 1989. Each unit was formed of two driving motors, one of which contained a toilet and are powered by 6-cylinder Cummins NT855-R5 diesel engines through Voith T211r hydraulic automatic transmissions and Gmeinder final drive units with a top speed of 75mph. 156406 was built in 1988 and initially allocated to Norwich primarily for the new regular 'Express' service from East Anglia to the East Midlands and North West introduced in May 1988. The class 156 units were eventually displaced on these duties by class 158 units and 156406 transferred to Tyseley for Birmingham and East Midlands local duties. It remained on these duties until the break up of Central Trains in 2007 and is currently operated by East Midlands Trains on local duties in the East Midlands and Lincolnshire

 

Heading a Class 8 freight bound for Gloucester New Yard, 'Hymek' Type 3 diesel hydraulic No. 7054 stands on the through line at Cardiff General on 6th November 1969. The raised metal 'D's' of the number had been painted over in green paint. New from Beyer Peacock Ltd in November 1962, it had a very short service life of ten years and one month. In reality, however, it was even shorter than that, as it was condemned and re-instated twice (1/72-4/72 and 7/72-9/72) before final withdrawal in December 1972. The loco was cut-up at Swindon Works during April 1975.

The fourth line is being re-instated as part of the electrification project.

Northern Class 150 diesel multiple unit 150275 takes the Wakefield line at Thornhill LNW Junction with a train from Huddersfield to Wakefield on the former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Calder Valley line.

 

There are no direct services today and all trains require a change at Leeds taking at least 45 minutes. Train services between Huddersfield and Castleford were cut by Northern during the Covid-19 Pandemic and have not yet been re-instated.

 

So much for the Northern Powerhouse & levelling up...

Multi-coloured Bombardier Litchurch Lane works pilot 08682 is stabled by the works entrance, 15th June 2016.

 

Locomotive History

08682 was built at Horwich as D3849 and entered traffic in August 1959 initially allocated to Trafford Park MPD. However its stay was short as six weeks later it was dispatched south, transferred to Camden, North London. In January 1966 it transferred to nearby Willesden when Camden closed and remained at Willesden for the next sixteen years until transferred to Toton in July 1982. In July 1984 it was nine months overdue classified repair (its last repair being in September 1975 at Derby Works) and was placed in store. It remained in store for five months until re-instated in December 1984 following classified repair and fitment of dual train brakes and transferred to Doncaster. In March 1994 it became the Doncaster Works pilot and remained on this duty until the works closed and in early 2008 and it moved to Litchurch Lane.

 

Aka the 'Bone', 'Kansas Air National Guard' North American Rockwell B-1B Lancer 85-0064 from the 127th Bomb Squadron in the static display at the 1997 RIAT held at RAF Fairford

 

The USAF 'Bone' was designed as a semi-stealth technology bomber to replace the 'then' aging B-52 force

 

However, President Carter cancelled the programme but within a few years it was re-instated and the developed B-1B was built in moderate numbers adopting more modern technology. With spiraling costs and the fact that the world had changed, production was capped at around 100

 

With the advent of pure stealth, the B-2 'Spirit' was introduced but that made even less, with only 21 airframes built

 

In the end the DoD opted for a mix, and with various issues, some earlier B-1's were retired to AMARC as were all the B-52G models

 

This left a mix of B-1, B-2 and the ever faithful B-52H, the latter, still the most potent in load carrying capability with all three soldiering on as the USAF's bomber complement

 

How long the B-1 will last is unknown but the B-52 is slated to be around past 2040 especially if they get the planned re-engine modification that at long last is getting serious consideration

 

There is also the new B-21 Raider in the future mix - the B-2's replacement

The small number of re-instated Class 30/EF electric locomotives are kept busy on the electrified portion of the North Island Main Trunk in 2022. Having had their decision to mothball the electrification and withdraw all of the remaining electric locomotives thwarted by the government a few years ago, Kiwi Rail have reluctantly begun an overhaul programme for the fleet. However at the present rate of progress it may be some years before they are all so-treated!

Currently , just one overhauled locomotive is running.......

Very excited. Found a 2015 TokiDoki on Amazon for a very reasonable price and got Fan BingBing in the latest BarbieCollector sale. (I shan't tell you what it took to re-instate my account at that website. The trauma is still too fresh)

In a sorry external condition, 'Warship' Class diesel hydraulic No. 825 'Intrepid' stands at Exeter St Davids on 22nd June 1971 having arrived with the 13.10 service from London Waterloo. New to Laira (83D) from Swindon Works in August 1960, it had one reprieve when it was withdrawn in January 1972 but re-instated 4 months later, in May 1972. Final withdrawl came in August 1972, just one day short of 12 years of service, and it was cut up back at Swindon Works during October of that year.

It does seem that our PM is a compulsive liar, I couldn't put it better than this tweet I saw today.

 

"A man who lies so readily, without abandon, even where the lie can easily be disproven, does so with arrogance and contempt, who rejects all accountability, and who will turn on anyone who dares contradict him, is a dangerous man. And he’s leader of the country." Emma (@emma_jayne14) via Twitter

 

Yesterday's little outburst in Parliament was the latest example, where he tried to tell Parliament that Anthony Albanese knew where he was during the bushfires (on the beach in Hawaii for anyone who has forgotten), only to have to come back and retract his statement that he didn't actually tell Albanese where he was going when Albanese denied it and said he still had the text messages. I loved Albanese's line yesterday "I kept that text message confidential, as you do, with private text messages between private phones." a reference to Morrison's leaking of private text messages between him and the French President after Macron called him a liar too.

 

Sad state of affairs I think when we still have a rabid media protecting this lying loon, and still nearly half the country willing to vote him back in. This does not compute in my brain I'm afraid. Why anyone would vote LNP to re-instate the most inept, corrupt, climate wrecking government we have ever had, led by this liar, is totally beyond me.

Ration store in Solidad, Cuba.

 

The vast majority of Cuban families rely, for their food intake, on the distribution system, instated on March 12, 1962. The system establishes the rations each person is allowed to buy through the system, and the frequency of supplies.

 

The ration is not the only means of acquiring goods available to a Cuban citizen, as these and other products are freely available on the free market but the prices in the ration book are about 20 times lower than the free market

214) Milky Stork

Milky Stork, Mycteria cinerea, Upeh Bakau

This is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This species occurs in Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sumbawa and Sulawesi. The milky stork can be found in coastal regions and favors mangroves and low-saline swamps of these areas. They feeds on fish, amphibians, small rodents, prawns, and crabs. It finds its food on mudflats, saltwater pools, freshwater marshes, ponds, and rice fields. It is classified as Endangered owing to loss of coastal habitat as well as hunting and trade. The storks' habitats are being diminished by logging and farming. In some areas, the birds, eggs, and chicks are being taken for domestication, food, or trade. Efforts are being made to boost the bird's population to prevent it from going extinct. In Malaysia, programs have been instated to breed the storks domestically and release them into the wild. In Perak, Malaysia, actions are being taken to create laws of protection for the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserves.

Burung Upeh Bakau diklasifikasikan sebagai terancam kerana habitatnya yang semakin menghilang selain diburu. Burung ini kini dibiakkan dalam program-program konservasi di Matang, Kuala Gula, alah di Putrajaya dan Zoo Negara.

I have just returned from my trip to Chicago which is by far one of my favourite American cities. It's incredibly inspiring to be in a city that surrounds you in art of all shapes, sizes and mediums. It seems rather difficult not to include other peoples art in photographs whether its in the background or foreground of the image.

I took this photo in the Art Institute of Chicago where there are thousands of world famous works of art so finding a photo opportunity without a piece of art in it was a very difficult task. These folks are awaiting a guided tour of the museum, they're in for a real treat.

Hope you enjoy!

I was out of for almost 2 week now. Decided to post a image new image today. As usual overcast day with a beautiful snowy owl. So instate of following snowy from place to place we decided to stay in middle of marsh and there I got an amazing flight sequence. Hope you guys will like it.

Mayer of Munich signed the window; visible just above and to the left of the word "Clavesreont".

 

"Founded by German immigrants in 1856. In October 2016, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron entrusted St Joseph to the pastoral care of the Instate of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to serve as a spiritual home in th eArchdiocese of Detroit for those desiring to receive all of the sacraments in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Latin Rite. The Institute of Christ the King is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical High founded by Monsignor Gilles Wach and Canon Philippe Mora in 1990 in Gabon, Africa. Today the Institute operates in more than 80 locations in 12 countries and the Motherhouse and International Seminary in Gricigliano, Italy."

 

"The Church:

The original structure was a wooden Fram church built at the corner of Gratiot and Orleans, but by 1869 it became clear that it was inadequate for the congregation. The present church, designed by Franz George Himpler, was begun in 1870. It is a magnificent and largely unaltered example of Victorian Gothic Revival at its best. The building is a protected structure under the City of Detroit's Historic District Ordinance, is listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Sites, and is the only church in Detroit listed as "of national importance" on the National Register of Historic Places."

 

"The Exterior

 

"The Interior

 

"The Windows

At the liigturgical east of the church, the chancel is enclosed with five tall, slender, staned glass windows; these are the most important cultural objects in the church, internationally known for their position in the history of European and American stained glass. Beneat the figures of Christ and Peter, in the central window, is th signature of Mayer of Munich, the world-famous stained glass makers. These 1873 windows are the oldest known Mayer glass in America. But they are not entirely by Mayer; only the figures owith their pedestals and bases came from Munich. The geometric designs in red, yellow, and blue above and below the figures were made by Frederic's & Staffin of Detroit, based on a design by architect Himpler. This is the earliest documented involvement of an American architect in the design of stained glass and it must be assumed that Himpler was also in contact with Mayer for the Mayer glass fits perfectly into the pattern Himpler designed. Other stained glass was bought in Detroit from the firm of Frederic's & Staffin, whose owners were parishioners. The rose window is Frederic's family gift. The firm also made the window over the side door and the geometric windows in the body of the church. The Death of Joseph window was imported from Innsbruck, Austria. Across from it is the Good Shepherd window, made by Frederichs & Staffin, with both the old and the present St. Joseph shown in the lower panels."

Sherlock Holmes/ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Statue

This statue was erected in memory of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was born on 22 May 1859 close to where the statue stands in Picardy Place, Edinburgh - it commemorates the author and his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.

 

It was unveiled on June 24, 1991, removed in 2018 whilst tram works were undertaken on the street, then refurbished and re-instated in 2023

 

The statue was sculpted by Gerald Ogilvie Laing

 

A few months ago, CSX re-instated a pair of Grand Rapids to Detroit road trains, Q328 and Q329. While Q329 usually arrives in Grand Rapids in the middle of the day, Q328 is usually long gone by sunrise. Leaving early to head south to the Indiana Northeastern, combined with the train leaving GR a bit later than normal, afforded this view of 328 heading east near Woodbury, behind 2 GEs (one of which was dead in tow, the reason for the delay) and an SD40-2 not long after sunrise.

Commentary.

 

Volunteers worked very hard to re-instate this Severn Valley Railway as a privately run, Heritage Line, in the 1970’s,

following the notorious “Beeching” cuts of the early 1960’s.

The line consists of a 16 mile stretch from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster with four stations and two request “halts.”

Arley, is the third proper station after leaving Bridgnorth.

What a delight to see litter-free stations with well-tended garden borders, no graffiti, trains running on time and helpful, friendly, unstressed staff, in full, proper uniform, with a smile on their face.

Is the modern system really a mark of progress?

Or like the N.H.S. is it just over-loaded by population despite the tireless efforts of its wonderful staff to provide an excellent service, in impossible conditions?

Short, though our journey was, from Bridgnorth to Arley, return, we found it a most pleasant and agreeable experience!

 

47408 'Finsbury Park' eastbound through Dewsbury (before the centre road was re-instated) with Huddersfield-Batley ECS for a return private charter (for Case Tractors) from Batley to Kings Cross. A very gloomy 22nd February 1985.

Reaching the beach where the Gull photos were captured meant driving through Queen Elizabeth Park - which is also home to the Wellington Tramway Museum...!

 

And as luck would have it No 159, which entered service on the streets of Wellington in 1925, was just leaving its terminus for its 2km journey back to the Museum's Tram Barns as I was leaving the beach...

 

There is talk of re-instating a Light Rail network on the streets of Wellington, but so far, that's all its been: talk! And that's not really surprising; the cost of re-establishing such a network would run into the billions of dollars...!

 

So, we The Public rely on the enthusiasm and hard work of a handful of volunteers who patiently and lovingly restore these old vehicles so that those who are too young to remember them rattling through the streets of Wellington at least get to ride one within the serenity of Queen Elizabeth Park...!

If I haven't left a Comment beneath your photo yet, be assured: I will...! Have a good day or a pleasant evening Folks, and I'll catch you some time tomorrow...!

  

Thank you for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath my photos...! Your support is very greatly appreciated.

East Midlands Trains 156406 departs from the turn back platform at Mansfield Woodhouse with a service to Nottingham, 15th November 2017. Mansfield Woodhouse station is on the Robin Hood line which was reopened in stages starting with Nottingham to Newstead in 1993, extending to Mansfield Woodhouse in 1995 and Worksop in 1998.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

 

...from the Tree of Knowledge Cup race meeting; part of the Tree of Knowledge Festival, Barcaldine, Queensland, Australia.

 

The name Barcaldine originates from The Oban region in Scotland. Donald Charles Cameron was one of the first settlers in the Barcaldine district and a direct descendant of the Campbellâs of Barcaldine Castle. He settled on a portion of land fronting the Alice River and immediately named his property âBarcaldine Downsâ. In 1864 the rail line came as far as Lagoon Creek and the township of Barcaldine sprang up on land from the Barcaldine Downs run.

 

The ghost gum, Eucalyptus Papuana, which grew outside the Railway Station, earned its claim to fame as the founding site of the political movement we now know as the Australian Labor Party. In 1891 Barcaldine was the centre for the striking shearers during the âGreat Shearers Strikeâ when they met under its boughs. In May 1891, about 3000 striking shearers marched under the âEurekaâ flag to put forward their protests against poor working conditions and low wages. Because the area beneath the Tree of Knowledge was the scene of actions and decisions which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia, it has become an icon of the Labor Party and Trade Unions.

 

The Tree of Knowledge was included in the National Heritage List on 26th January 2006. Sadly it was poisoned in 2006 and did not recover.

 

What was once a one day float parade on the Labour Day Monday and known as May Day Parade & Celebrations has grown to a full weekend of community celebration embracing a diverse range of activities including Street Festival, Rev Fest, and Goat Racing now known as the Tree of Knowledge Festival.

 

The May Day holiday was abandoned in 2013 but the festival proceeds as usual, using the motto "We may have lost the holiday but we haven't lost the tradition". The holiday has now been re-instated by the Queensland Government. (Source: www.treeofknowledge.com.au)

31460 & 31283 are captured parked at Hull Botanic Gardens on Christmas Day 1986. Glimpsed in the background is 31445.

 

31460 was built at the Brush Traction works, Loughborough, and entered service as D5696 in May 1961, then became 31266 under TOPS in 1974. By 1984 it was a Tinsley loco, then was taken into Doncaster Works (November 1984) for conversion to a 31/4 (ETH) and gained the new number 31460, plus a new depot; Immingham. It went on to be a regular sight on the Trans-Pennine runs from both Hull and Cleethorpes until disappearing to Old Oak Common in 1989, then onto Bescot in 1990. 31460 continued working up to the end of 1992, after which it was withdrawn and placed in storage at Bescot - joining others there in the scrap line. Although purchased by Fragonset in 1999, nothing actually changed, and 31460 continued to decay with its old BR Blue paintwork now very faded. By mid 2002 it had been moved to Barrow Hill, remaining there until November 2006, when it was dragged to T J Thomson & Son at Stockton-on-Tees and scrapped by early January 2007.

 

Note the small dent by the numbers - This remained untouched for the next few years until someone decided it needed tidying up.

 

31283 was built at the Brush Traction works, Loughborough, and entered service as D5815 in September 1961. Throughout its early career it remained allocated within the Sheffield region, was renumbered to 31283 under TOPS in 1973, then headed north to Thornaby when allocated there in 1974. At the time of this photo it was still a Thornaby engine and, from early 1988, ran with large bodyside numbers but with normal sized BR arrows. By the end of 1989 it was withdrawn from service at Thornaby but was soon re-instated - only to be withdrawn again in April 1991. It then languished (in a very poor state) at Stratford Depot until eventually being broken up there by HNRC in March 2001.

HORSE SAND FORT

This is one of the larger forts, with two floors and a basement. It was originally intended that the guns be mounted in turrets, but these were never fitted. It was built on large concrete blocks with an outer skin of granite blocks, the interior being filled with clay and shingle and covered with concrete. At the top of the fort was a lighthouse, as well as chimneys and ventilators. The lower floors provided storage of armoury, guns and provisions for the men stationed on the site. This fort has its own Artesian well, providing fresh water. During the Second World War, a submerged barrier was built in the form of large concrete blocks, about 2 metres below sea level and running from the fort to the shore at Southsea. This acted as an extra defence against shipping and it still remains to the present day.

 

THEIR HISTORY

Known as "Palmerston's Follies", after the Prime Minister of the time, the four forts were built for the protection of Portsmouth and the eastern Solent from attack by sea, probably by the French. However they have never been used in anger which is presumably why they are referred to as "Follies". Horse-Sands, No Mans Land, St Helen's and Spitsand were built between 1865 – 1880.

 

When Louis Napoleon, nephew of Bonaparte, became President of the French Second Republic in 1848, his ambitions, power and large army aroused concern in Britain. Although there was a temporary alliance with France during the war against Russia, suspicions about France's intentions remained and the government set about reinforcing the fortifications in the Solent. As usual the wheels of government ground slowly and it was not until a Royal Commission had put forward conclusions, these were debated in Parliament and the Fortifications Act passed in 1860, then part of the plans were shelved and later re-instated, that the construction was eventually started.

 

The forts were designed by Captain E H Steward who was on the staff of the Assistant Inspector General of Fortifications, Colonel W F D Jervois. Sir John Hawkshaw, a noted civil engineer, was the advisor concerning foundations, while the ironwork and shields were designed by Captain Inglis and Lieutenant English. The two outer forts, Horse Sand and No Mans Land, are identical, being 200ft in diameter and fully armour plated. The other two are 150ft in diameter, with iron plating only on the front. The cost of building the forts, (excluding armaments) ranged from £424,694 for Horse Sand Fort, to £123,311 for St Helen's Fort, which was two or three times as much as land forts, due to the difficulties involved in constructing foundations on sandbanks 20 to 30 foot under water.

 

By the time the forts had been completed, the invasion scare was over and although they have been armed and re-armed as technology has advanced, they have never been used in the capacity for which they were originally intended. During the First World War, two were used as naval signal stations, even though they were armed. By the Second World War they were suffering from years of neglect and were not able to play an important role. They were not able to support heavy anti-aircraft guns for air defence, but they were brought to war-readiness for the seizure of French warships anchored off Portsmouth in 1940, after the fall of France. This was the only time that their guns were trained on the targets for which they had been originally built and even then, there was so little opposition that the guns were not actually fired.

 

After the war, the forts were deactivated and used for coastal artillery until 1956. Since then they have all fared differently and have had a variety of uses.

After Abellio NRW’s bankruptcy, the local government hired two operators to instate a temporary service on the RE11. Centralbahn was one of those operators. In order to run this service, Centralbahn hired some br111 loco’s and DoSto doubledecker carriages. During the last couple of days one of the trains ran with a rake of DoSto’s and a br111 on each end, rather than using the DoSto driving cab.

 

After spending a full day photographing along the line, mostly to get the replacement trains on photo during the last day of the temporary service, we went to the small town of Werl. We didn’t have too much time, but just enough time to check out this locations and if needed to move to a second location. We knew that second location was quite boring, but possible. So if this location outside Werl wasn’t okay we could move on. Although the location wasn’t perfect, mostly because we stood on the muddy edge between the road and a freshly plowed field with our ladder and pole, we took our chances. Less than 10 minutes later the train passed. With that our weekend photographing during daylight ended. And a few hours later all went back to normal on the RE11, with a new operator taking over.

Bryn Celli Ddu is generally considered to be one of the finest passage tombs in Wales. Unlike many stone chambered tombs, this not only has a complete passage and burial chamber, but is also buried under a mound or cairn, although this was re-instated following its excavation in 1929. As it now stands, the passage is 8.4 m (28 ft) long, the first 3.4 m (11 ft) being unroofed with a pair of portal stones. The main passage runs between vertical slab rocked walls roofed by a series of stone lintels.

Crewe 1-7-85 The 12" to the foot model railway being constructed at Crewe during the 1985 re-modelling was a miracle for 40 fans with 12,60,118 and 135 re-instated for engineers duties. 97406 (40135) is seen in front of Crewe South Box whilst testing was being undertaken running light-engine through whichever tracks were available. Note the ladder on the curve to Gresty Lane

It was a cold misty frosty winter's morning when Peter Shoesmith took this shot of Crewe built Ivatt 2-6-0 46442. The train is a very mixed freight and has come off the Camp Hill line that avoids Birmingham New St, it was most likley to be bound for Kings Norton Yard just behind the photographer.

 

Age has taken it's toll on this, it was glass bound and was masked with the signal and left hand train removed, although faded to a different colour I thought it was worth re-instating them and colour matching

37893 & 37717 "Stainless Pioneer" pass through Todmorden station with 6M54 09:54 Leeds to Stanlow. 18/8/93. The fenced off area to the right is the former bay from which services to Rose Grove and Preston originated. It had long been disused by this date, as Todmorden west curve was no longer in existence. It has since been re-instated of course, although trains using it no longer start at Todmorden.

This Bangkok tuk yuk driver was extremely happy and outgoing!! Even though martial law has been instated in the country, you wouldn't know it. From talking with locals the problems have impacted tourism. I assume that's why this driver was so happy to get us in his tuk tuk - we're always going to pay higher prices!!

The original courthouse bell from Logan County courthouse. It was instated in the courthouse in 1905, and then reinstalled in the new courthouse after the original burned in 1912. It's located now in front of the Museum at Chief Logan State Park, Logan County, West Virginia.

A second shot of First Cymru Wright StreetCar 19038, this time from the front.

 

She and sister 19036 have been re-instated from the start of Swansea University's 2016/17 academic year to operate Service 8X, which provides a direct link every half hour on Mondays to Fridays between the Bay Campus and Singleton Hospital & Swansea University, omitting the City Centre. Such a service was quickly introduced a few weeks into the start of last acdemic year due to the larger than anticipated numbers of students requiring transport, and used re-instated StreetCars 19033 and 19038 for several months.

 

Both 19036 and 19038 have received a version of corporate livery in the same style and colours applied to Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs 67091-5, and is now starting to be applied to a number of Wright Eclipse Urban-bodied Volvo B7RLEs that operate alongside them.

 

In this mid September 2016 shot, 19038 is captured at speed on Fabian Way in the Crymlyn Burrows area of Swansea, where the lampposts lean in strange directions. It seems that difficulties are still being encountered reprogramming the LED destination displays.

Ration store in Solidad, Cuba.

 

The vast majority of Cuban families rely, for their food intake, on the distribution system, instated on March 12, 1962. The system establishes the rations each person is allowed to buy through the system, and the frequency of supplies.

 

The ration is not the only means of acquiring goods available to a Cuban citizen, as these and other products are freely available on the free market but the prices in the ration book are about 20 times lower than the free market

Built when the N&W was the property of the Pennsylvania Railroad, N&W 611 could still technically be considered on home rails while making the trek into Enola yard. The ferry move is passing under the now abandoned viaduct over the Susquehanna River that was instated by the Cumberland Valley Railroad.

This valley known as Whitcombe is part of Ham Hill Country Park, in South Somerset.

It is the site of a medieval village which extended along both sides of a road running through the valley floor and culminating at the village pond, beyond the willow trees in the centre of the photograph. The stream which flowed from the pond was piped underground some time ago, and since becoming part of Ham Hill Country Park, is being re-instated.

The left hand slopes forms the remains of the ramparts of the Iron Age fort on Ham Hill.

Now that looks a lot better. 34244 now has all her blind boxes re instated and blinds fitted. Also not the black around the windscreen and fleet numbers too. A proper repaint is on the list of things to do when funds can stretch to it.
