The 2Y60 1032 Morecambe to Leeds with 158868 in charge crosses the river Aire at Gargrave.
The image was taken on the opposite bank at a lock on the Leeds to Liverpool canal.
This canal is another fascinating piece of industrial history in this area.
Note: I have deliberately toned down the colours of this image as I feel it suits the atmosphere on this dull winter day . 13-12-24.

The lock is used by the laundry next to the wall, to lock their door. My host in Istanbul brings her clothes here, and as I was waiting outside I noticed the abstract looking wall and lock.
Depending on your perspective.... the locos are returning from mainline duties in the evening and the gates are about to be locked. The passers by are about to be locked out.... in those days it was quite normal for pedestrians to walk along unfenced railway lines... remarkable!! Today they would be called trespassers.
LMS 4-6-0 5MT 5000 and in the background GWR 4-6-0 4930 Hagley Hall reverse into Bulmers at Hereford on 22-4-81
I think this is the right date. On 11-4-81 6201 worked the bottom leg of the WM with 4930 and 5000 on the Shrewsbury -Hereford leg and I am thinking this is the reverse working. Six Bells Junction website only identifies 6201 as having worked the top leg and not what was on the train from Hereford to Newport..

This ought to be a headline: "Donald Trump Takes Away NRA Members’ Guns." The Orange Twitler spoke at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Atlanta, GA almost two weeks ago, but the NRA told their members to leave their guns at home. So the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to the NRA? Trump campaigned on eliminating ALL gun-free zones, so he should practice what he preaches. If everyone having a gun makes us all safe, then what is wrong with having an auditorium full of AMMOSEXUALS all carrying semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols with or without a US (p)Resident at the podium? While they are at it, let’s make sure they serve lots of alcohol. What could possibly go wrong that hasn’t already gone wrong with this weird regime or his irresponsible supporters?
In related news, nearly every state legislature that has passed open carry laws also included a provision that exempted guns from being toted within their respective state houses. What are the lawmakers afraid of? Right now the Texas Legislature is actually considering a bill to allow the open carry of firearms without any kind of license or permit. And the same idiots in the Texas Legislature are also considering doing away with annual safety inspections of cars and trucks. “Conservative” extremists at national and state level are publically calling for the complete elimination of all environmental, consumer safety, labor protection, and financial regulations. Is there no longer any adult supervision in my nation?
You may notice that I shot this photo back in March 2013, but I had no reason to post it until now. A popular photo with a lengthy essay (in my 2013 folder) on gun ownership sparked a lively international debate on the subject. Read it. I like guns but only in appropriate places and not carried by irresponsible fools who intimidate ordinary people who I am sworn to protect.
I think that military grade small arms, magazines, and ammunition should be available for purchase by responsible adult citizens, but the weapons should be registered, and their owners and users should be licensed. The first step of the licensing process should be a thorough background check followed by mandatory training, both written and hands-on testing, and swearing the state militia oath. By swearing the state militia oath, all military grade firearms owners would be subject to military discipline and justice and could be mobilized by the governor for state duty in emergencies. Although individual state militia members should not be required conform to military appearance standards, they should be required to own and maintain at least one state-approved field uniform for both hot and cold weather and a basic set of field gear. The individual general militia members should not be required to join a local unit and train monthly, but they should be required to pass an annual Army Physical Fitness Test, pass an annual weapons safety and marksmanship qualification test for each weapon they are licensed for, and run a live-fire tactical assault course for each type of weapon. Unless they are simply transporting their weapons in a locked or sealed container, each time they appear in public under arms, they should be required to be in uniform in full kit and carrying their militia identification card and tags. That would eliminate much of the riff-raff that sometimes intimidates ordinary civilians but are unfit for serious public duty.
The only lock on the canal is known as Maureen's Lock after Maureen Shaw who was born on the water and lived in the cottage by the Wardle Canal until she died in 2012

Trent Lock is the area of canal locks around the point where the River Soar (flowing northwards) meets the River Trent (at this point flowing east). Near this point two canals also meet the Trent - the Erewash Canal, coming south-east from Long Eaton, and the short Cranfleet Cut provides a route for boats heading downstream on the Trent, avoiding a weir.
The Midland Main Line also runs past the area, over the Trent and the Cranfleet Cut.
Some way further to the west on the Trent is the Sawley Cut and Sawley Bridge Marina, and not far west of that is Derwent Mouth, where the River Derwent and the Trent and Mersey Canal join the Trent.Trent Lock (otherwise Trentlock) is located south of Long Eaton, on the borders of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire in the United Kingdom. The area is a major canal navigation junction, where the River Soar and Erewash Canal can reach the Trent and Mersey Canal by way of the River Trent and adjacent Cranfleet Cut.
Immediately to its north-east is Trent Junction, a similarly important five-way meeting point in the national railway system.

Locked in love, on old Port ofTel Aviv boardwalk.
The port is not active anymore, BUT it was transformed during last years into a lively center of cafes, restaurants, boutiques and just a fun place to spend leisure time any hour of the day...
Doesn't it suck when your with your crush and you have a million things to say, but nothing comes out?

The Worcester and Birmingham Canal is a canal linking Birmingham and Worcester in England. It starts in Worcester, as an 'offshoot' of the River Severn (just after the river lock) and ends in Gas Street Basin in Birmingham. It is 29 miles (47 km) long. There are 58 locks in total on the canal, including the 30 Tardebigge Locks, one of the largest lock flights in Europe. The canal climbs 428 feet (130 m) from Worcester to Birmingham.
These cottages are at Blockhouse Lock, number four of 58.
