Old King Coal which was held from 27th March - 30th March 2014 marked the start of our spectacular Great North Festival of Transport.
On Saturday 29th March it was the grand opening of the Pit Pony Stables. Led by a grand parade of brass bands and miners banners from The Town to the Pit Village, the Stables were opened by three former Pit Pony Keepers, Bill Tubman, Martin Gallagher and Tommy Clifford.
The Beamish pit pony stables are a replica of an exisiting block which served Rickless drift mine in Gateshead and serve to illustrate the role played by horses in a North East colliery in the years leading up to the First World War.
The Challenge - Make the story behind a photograph as important as the image itself.

The Response - Throwley Old Hall, stands in ruins on a commanding height in remote hill country overlooking the Manifold valley in Staffordshire. There was formerly also a medieval manor house and adjoining village, traces of which remain as cultivation strips and other earthworks. Throwley village was however deserted between 1377 and 1524.
Throwley was held by the Meverell family from 1208. The hall was built in 1603, probably on the site of the medieval manor house. The estate passed to the Cromwell family when Elizabeth Meverell was married in 1626 to Thomas, Baron Cromwell, created Earl of Ardglass in 1645. When Ardglass died in 1687 Throwley was inherited by his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Edward Southwell. The hall was thereafter leased to tenants. With its surrounding estate it was advertised for sale by auction in 1789.
The great hall and much of the old house was demolished in 1830). However in 1845 the hall was still noted as being "a very ancient house of decent gentlemen of goodly living, equalling the best sort of gentlemen in the Shire". Although partly ruinous the old Hall remained inhabited and the surrounding land farmed separately from the acreage of the newer Hall farm.
The Old Hall was occupied from at least 1836 until 1877 by Francis Allen Parramore and after he died by his son William Thomas Parramore. His widow seems to have continued living there until 1875. The family of William Thomas Parramore was the last to reside at old Throwley Hall. In 1877 they emigrated to Australia, and the Hall was abandoned as a farmhouse. However it may have been used, at least until the 1890s, as sleeping accommodation for domestic servants at the newer farm..
In 1921 the roof was removed, and the hall fell into its present completely ruinous condition. The ruins of Throwley Old hall are now a scheduled ancient monument, while remaining private property.
We spent last weekend (23-26th March 2012) visiting the Isle of Thanet area. This is the Old Neptune pub on Whitstable beach.
An old shot from the vehicle graveyard, I do miss this place.
Never had a bad shoot there.
Enjoy!

Closure of St pancras due "throat" remodelling saw all Inter City services from the East Midlands diverted to Euston. Most of the thru diesel services used the Bedford-Bletchley branch, others had electric power from Nuneaton. 45149 is a rare sight at Old Linslade with the 1210 Euston - Sheffield on July 3rd 1982
Stereoview images of the old Patent Office building on F Street (now the Smithsonian American Art Museum) are very common. However, this one I particularly like for its details. There's the lone horse tethered in front of the (unseen) Post Office building. The telegraph pole, plastered in notices and with curious signs--a hand pointing up 7th Street, a rectangular sign that says "Business College," a dark circular sign we can't read. The diminutive gaslit lamppost. The fire hydrant. The small boy, watching the horse and buggy from the sidewalk. The group of people exiting from a side door of the Patent Office. Lots to see. Also, note that this view is almost a precise opposite of the previous one I posted, taken from the steps of the Patent Office.
This appears to have been made from the chassis of an old lorry with rear diff/axle. No DVLA records for DEB 469C.
An old door in Diano Castello (Imperia, Liguria - Italy).
The wrought iron crescent over the door in Italian is called "rosta". I guess there will be an equivalent English term, but I don't know it, sorry. Contributions about this will be very appreciated.
Una vecchia porta a Diano Castello (IM).
This Rover 2000 has been here for at least three years;maybe much longer.It's sat outside a few hundred meters from the stormy Cornish north coast and is definitely suffering.
It's a pity,because the car is very complete and original and,apart from the doors,is in pretty solid condition.

These beautiful old books were on display at Westland London, a specialist restorers of period fireplaces and architectural elements. Their warehouse is like a museum.
Found this old person at the company guesthouse. He couldn't see properly; had some issue with his eyes. I asked if he had any children. He said he never got married and that his brother looks after him. He used to be a porter at the railway but now due to old age he is unable to continue that work. Misery is apparent from his expression.

The old Mission is a must-visit landmark in Santa Barbara. The typical Spanish style inside-and-out reveals how the life looks like 300+ years ago.
