Window of Opportunity...

More archival digging...

 

The much photographed Fairbairn Crane down on the Harbourside. It was such a bright sunny day, yet the combination of iron and glass is almost monochromatic. I think it must have been the texture and the geometry that caught my eye on the day though...

 

This is the ONLY surviving Fairbairn Steam Crane in the world; patented in 1850 and designed by Sir William Fairbairn.

 

See where this picture was taken. [?]
