My little camera has been playing up of late and so it was when I was preparing for a shot of the service train arriving at Swanwick Junction. This view was the result of my trying a shot just before the train arrived in order to be sure that the camera was working. It was working, sort of, but it refused to zoom at all.

The tin tabernacle at the Midland Railway Centre, Butterley, was originally built as St. Saviours Church in Westhouses. This church was built in the late 1890s by the Midland railway for the workers and families at this rather remote depot. In 1995 it was moved to Butterley where it is still occasionally used for services.

As far as I can tell this is the West Pit of the Butterley Park Colliery of the Butterley Company at Swanwick. Today it stands with adjacent engine house in the middle of a farm park where visitors can feed and watch a range of animals. I think that the colliery was open from 1848 to 1946 with the main shaft known as Britain Pit.
