Textures in a chevron slate wall. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the mid-week.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day!

A real windfall. Non-taxable...

Another shot of the fabulously textured Glenfield railway tunnel wall. Opened in 1832 by Robert Stephenson for the Leicester & Swannington Railway to bring coal & granite into Leicester. At that time it was the longest rail tunnel in the world at 1796 yards! It was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1846 & closed to passengers in 1928 & goods traffic by BR through to Leicester West Bridge in 1966. HWW to everyone.

Grains on grain. Wind-blown sand slowly overtakes the weathered beach boardwalk.

Light & shadow on the footplate of narrow gauge steam locomotive Mallet 2-4-6-0 E18 built by Henschel in 1923. Now preserved.

Cabside number Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 44845, built at Crewe in 1944. I am contemplating the last day of steam at Newton Heath & the fact that the filthy cab won't ever be cleaned again. I don't think that left hand window has ever been cleaned! This engine still had 50psi of steam in its boiler but by the end of the day would be cold & ready for its last journey to the scrapyard.
