Pictured reversing out of the remaining sidings at Markham Main Colliery, Armthorpe, Doncaster, on April 6th 1994 was 60087 'Slioch' with a freshly loaded MGR train. The colliery was producing a good amount of traffic at this time even though the once extensive sidings had been severely rationalised. The photograph is taken from the long wooden footbridge that spans the tracks and joins one side of Sandall Beat Woods with the other.

The great restoration of 1883-7 by Oldrid Scott, partly funded by the 7th Duke of Newcastle, transformed what had been a sadly neglected old church with a roof on the point of collapse, perilously bulging side aisle walls and a dark low ceilinged interior crammed with ugly 200 year old box pews, into the light and airy building we see today. The north and south aisles were rebuilt, however the removal of plaster has revealed medieval jerry building which was never meant to be seen, nor the Victorian bricks packed in above the windows during a previous restoration.
c1896 Ninian Comper set about restoring the church at the expense of the 7th Duke of Newcastle. He installed the east window stained glass and angel riddel posts round the altar. The old screen was moved between the south chapel and nave flic.kr/p/RZhX4b and a new chancel screen and organ loft were to follow, however the vicar and churchwardens fell out with the Duke who used the money instead to install a screen and organ loft in Egmanton church instead flic.kr/p/PfszAC
Some medieval stained glass still survives in the tracery, however the custodians of the 18c & 19c who allowed glaziers from Tuxford to remove stained glass and replace it with "nice white glass"

This particular shot is a processing of 10 shots, 9 for HDR and one more to add the pond in front. As of today, this part is quite muddy so I thought I could add a bit of a different foreground.
