Early evening sunshine bathes the ruins of Burnham Norton Friary in Norfolk. The friary was the fourth Carmelite house of friars to be established in England and the first to be founded after the order was expelled from Mount Carmel in 1238 by the Saracens. The friary, near Burnham Market, was founded by Sir William Calthorp and Sir Ralph Hemenhale in 1241.

“Why EVER did you wear Winter stuff down here to New Orleans, Malcolm?” asked Norton. “You are going to burn up! New Orleans is a subtropical town and it’s usually hot and humid!”
“Honestly, Norton?! When I saw you were all in corduroy I feared it might be cold so I wore my hat and scarf!” Malcolm was in a bit of a huff with the criticism.
“Oh dear! Mama is going to make you stay in the house where it is cool, Malcolm!” Norton replied! "Hadn't you rather play outside?"
“It’s okay with me if Mama wants me to stay inside. I’m sure some of the little bears will be too hot to play outside as well! But thank you for worrying about me, Norton. I didn't realize it would be so warm in New Orleans!"
HTBT!!

The Parish Church of Saint Peter
View of the Nave
The village of Norton Disney sits close to the River Witham just off the Fosse Way (Roman road) between Lincoln and Newark on Trent, a 1st century roman villa was discovered by a farmer close to the village. The village church is dedicated to St Peter and was built in the 13th century, with significant additions in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Disney Chantry (North Chapel) contains five significant effigy tombs and a palimpsest brass commemorating various generations of the Disney family.
The d'Isigny (Disney) family owned the manor here and had a castle and a 17th century manor house built from the castle ruins, however nothing of these now remain. It is believed that the American film producer Walt Disney is a decedent of the Disney family, Walt Disney himself along with his family visited the village in 1949.
This pretty little cottage is situated next to the churchyard in the village of Wood Norton in North Norfolk, and is unsurprisingly called Church View. What perhaps is slightly surprising is that it seems to be constructed purely from brick, with not a hint of the Norfolk flint that seems to be so widespread.
Norton Junction is a key point on the Grand Union Canal, located near the village of Norton in Northamptonshire, England. It is where the Leicester Section (also known as the Leicester Line) branches off from the main line of the Grand Union Canal. The junction lies close to the famous Watford Locks, a flight of staircase locks that help boats navigate the elevation change. Norton Junction is historically significant for canal transport, serving as a crossroads for boaters traveling between London, Birmingham, and Leicester. The surrounding area is scenic, offering picturesque views of the English countryside.

Another shot I found on flickr and absolutely loved. I didn't really want to copy someone elses shot but I couldn't resist this spot so I tried my best to make it alittle different. With all the moss, the road curving into the distance and the tracks taking the upper edge, I really wanted to see it for myself and get a train in it. Although I knew that the straight on shots would make for fairly bright headlights, I still wanted to go for this one and it definitely turned out better than the previous straight on shots because of less fog.

A Norton prototype, the P800 of 1965 was an 800cc double overhead camshaft unit twin with a five-speed gearbox intended to replace the Atlas. Money being the usual problem, it never saw production. Who knows, it may even have been oil-tight.
6939 plods through Kings Norton with a freight from the Camp Hill line, perhaps it was bound for South Wales as the locomotive was Cardiff based.
6939 Calveley Hall was a Collett Hall class locomotive which entered service 27/07/1942. It was withdrawn 28/10/1963 and scrapped in April 1964

I modified this Kodak No. 00 box camera to shoot square flames on 35mm. I guess I should have tested it before going through all that effort because the IQ is terrible. I typically like at least something to be sharp in my frames. I'm thinking pinhole is sometimes better than this... What do you think? Is it worth further experimentation?

Norton Priory is a historic site in Norton, Runcorn, Cheshire, England, comprising the remains of an abbey complex dating from the 12th to 16th centuries, and an 18th-century country house; it is now a museum. The remains are a scheduled ancient monument and are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. They are considered to be the most important monastic remains in Cheshire.
The priory was established as an Augustinian foundation in the 12th century, and was raised to the status of an abbey in 1391. The abbey was closed in 1536, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries. Nine years later the surviving structures, together with the manor of Norton, were purchased by Sir Richard Brooke, who built a Tudor house on the site, incorporating part of the abbey. This was replaced in the 18th century by a Georgian house. The Brooke family left the house in 1921, and it was partially demolished in 1928. In 1966 the site was given in trust for the use of the general public.
Excavation of the site began in 1971, and became the largest to be carried out by modern methods on any European monastic site. It revealed the foundations and lower parts of the walls of the monastery buildings and the abbey church. Important finds included: a Norman doorway; a finely carved arcade; a floor of mosaic tiles, the largest floor area of this type to be found in any modern excavation; the remains of the kiln where the tiles were fired; a bell casting pit used for casting the bell; and a large medieval statue of Saint Christopher.
