The 1345 from Immingham arrives at Ratcliffe, dwarfed by the pipework associated with scrubbing the exhaust gases.
Taken from near the site of the planned new sewage works. Pipework - laid; haul road - dug; pump house - built (but not fitted out); sewage works - no - 2023?
A different angle of the old pipework on Blyth beach.
Quite a balancing act trying to get this shot - but it seemed quite entertaining for passers by though LOL.

The Crown Pipeworks, makers of clay tobacco pipes were abandoned in 1960, and as the buildings and equipment had not changed in 80 years the pipeworks became a true time capsule. In the years that followed the buildings slowly began to crumble however they were saved from demolition in the 1980s and were grade II listed. Open days are few and far between however, save for two heritage days when they are once again open for the public to enjoy.

The Talybont Reservoir, Powys, Wales, GBR.
Despite the recent rainfall, the water level on the reservoir is reducing. Talybont Reservoir (Cronfa Ddŵr Tal-y-bont), covering 318 acres, is the largest stillwater reservoir in the central Brecon Beacons. Located 1.5 miles upstream of Talybont-on-Usk, it was constructed by Newport Corporation between 1931 and 1939 to supply treated water to Newport. Now owned by Welsh Water, the reservoir underwent a £10 million modernisation in 2019, including internal pipework upgrades.

This close-up looks at some of the fittings and pipework on the front of the Maudsley Engine.
The engine was the first beam engine built for the Kew Bridge water works and began pumping in 1838. It was extensively rebuilt at various points during its working life and little of the original remains.
The engine was built originally by Maudslay, Sons and Field of Lambeth, who were better known as marine engineers. The engine was later converted to work on the Cornish cycle in 1848 by Samuel Homersham.
In 1888, the beam cracked and half of it was replaced with a substantially-thicker substitute which is clearly visible today.
'Cornish engines' is a reference to the operating cycle of single-cylinder steam-powered beam engines. The main characteristic is that pumping is done by a falling weight which is lifted by the engine. The weight is above the pump, which is linked to a beam, with the piston attached at the opposite end of the beam. The weight is lifted by a combination of steam pressure above, and vacuum below, the piston.
During the pumping stroke, as the weight falls, the piston returns to the top of the cylinder because an equilibrium valve opens to allow steam to pass from above to below the piston. All of this means that the speed of the engine's movement varies during the cycle.
The Maudsley engine has a cylinder diameter of 1.65m and a stroke of 2.4m The beam weighs 20.2 tonnes. Water output is 590 litres per stroke, or eight million litres in 24 hours.
The engine last worked in 1943 but was returned to steam operation for demonstration purposes in 1985.

Spotted this neat reflection in Cardiff last weekend, taken from the side of the Techniquest learning centre with its pipework exterior. The door at the end was in a seperate building, not sure where it led to!

Massive empty hall in a abandoned power station in Germany. The other levels at this plant were still filled with rusty pipework and machinary.
Bit of a lie as if you follow me your about to fall five feet into pipework and water while im hanging one foot on the edge :)

The remains of the supports for what I presume to have been some pipework leading out into the sea at Harlech.
In the distance can be seen the Lleyn Peninsula beneath the clouds.

Home of insurance. All services lifts, pipework, ducts etc on outside.
I was going to upload a slightly tighter image, but I like the street scene in this image gives context.

The Bowater's Sittingbourne Paper Mill pipework was part of the scene at the heritage 2ft 6in gauge Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway (S&KLR), and in places offered timeless industrial cameos. Sadly, all this had to change when the railway was forced to close in 2008. The railway was churned up and damaged during some of the pipeline removal and by the mill demolition contractors, and even track-work was stolen by metal thieves. Happily, volunteers at the railway have worked tirelessly to get things back to presentable again after the reopening in 2012, on a much more secure site than before. Just before the closure, an opportunity was taken to charter the railway for a day, and thanks to the organiser David Fletcher, a number of virtually timeless opportunities were on offer to those lucky enough to attend on 15th November 2008. I have chosen monochrome for this series of images which I consider to be more in keeping with the vintage feel of the occasion, taking me back to my visit to the Bowater system in July 1969, the last year of industrial steam operation at the Mills and Ridham Dock. In this scene, William Bagnall 0-6-2 tank 'Triumph' (works No.2511 built in 1934) has just moved off from the loco shed and is setting back, beneath the former steam supply pipe to Sittingbourne Mill, onto a mixed rake of stock adjacent to the paper mill at Kemsley.
