A green bench and green drystone wall. HBM to everyone. Have a great start to the new week.

A Sunday morning visit to Beacon Hill near Loughborough. English Longhorn cattle graze on the Pre-Cambrian volcanics. Well, on the grass growing on the PC volcanics.... HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

The view looking east over the Soar Valley from Beacon Hill. The town of Loughborough sits in the valley. Pre-Cambrian metamorphosed volcanics in the foreground with Jurassic sandstones & clays on the horizon. HBM to everyone. Have a great weekend.

A view of Bradgate Park and Old John Tower taken from Beacon Hill, approx. 5km to the north. On the hill to the right of Old John Tower is the Yeomanry War Memorial. Erected on consecrated ground, the obelisk was built in 1924 and is dedicated to the Leicestershire Yeomanry field regiments that fought and died in the Boer War and the First and Second World Wars.

Quorn and Woodhouse station & full semaphore signalling seen from the footplate of D1705 Brush Type 4 diesel approaching the station from the south. The Starter is pulled off for LMS Black 5 45305 waiting in the Up platform with a train to Leicester. This station has been restored to LNER condition and is the typical design of the Great Central Railway's main line to London with one island platform and access down from the road overbridge. The signal box, Up goods yard to the right & Down lay-by to the left were also typical. www.gcrailway.co.uk/ Their web page is well worth a visit.
