In this view northwards it took some cropping to remove the high 1970s bridge and leave the buildings and chimneys of Dean Clough Mills to stand alone. Built in the 1840s–60s for Crossley's Carpets & once one of the world's largest carpet factories the mill closed in 1983 & was bought by a consortium to develop the Grade II listed site for various commercial and cultural uses. This included returning the Millstone Grit stonework to its former beauty. In the foreground is the parapet of the Victorian cast & wrought-iron North Bridge which spans the Hebble Valley. As well as the river Hebble extensive railway yards were once located in the valley and in fact the Halifax & Ovenden Railway jointly with Halifax Corporation financed the construction of North Bridge which was completed in 1871. Until 1960 the former HOR North Bridge station was located beneath the bridge to the right. HFF to everyone. Have a great weeked.

Levant Mine and steam-driven Beam Engine at Trewellard, Pendeen near St Just in the far west of Cornwall. This historic tin mine is preserved by the National Trust and visits to see the engine and go underground are by appointment. Unfortunately we hadn't made one but the whole surface site was of interest including the lighthouse in the distance at Pendeen and the weather was perfect. HFF. Have a great & peaceful weekend.

Dean Clough mill & chimney from Corporation Street, Halifax. Dean Clough is a group of large factory buildings built in the 1840s–60s for Crossley's Carpets becoming one of the world's largest carpet factories. Closed in 1983 the mills now provide office space for some 150 companies, art galleries, restaurants and The Viaduct Theatre.

In 1982 the Eschweiler Bergwerks Verein (EBV) Alsdorf coke ovens and Grube-Anna mine (off right) north of Aachen were a hive of activity as was the DB main line in the foreground. The green-liveried steam engine is almost certainly Anna no 14 (later renumbered to Anna no 6) built by Krupp in 1940 for Dynamit Nobel. It has been preserved at the Westfälisches Industriemuseum in Dortmund. Unbelievably, gone today are the DB exchange sidings, the coke ovens and all the industrial plant of EBV Grube Anna. The mine closed in 1983 and the coking plant in 1987. The main line survives as does the signal box just seen top left.

EMR (the former EMT) Class 158 Express Sprinter diesel multiple unit 158854 manoeuvring out of Nottingham Eastcroft depot visible in the distance. The left hand lines run in from Grantham & Lincoln and over the Nottingham canal bridge at bottom into Nottingham Midland station on the other side of London Road. The overgrown area to the left is the former Low Level station sidings. HFF & have a great weekend.

The view southwards down Carr Lane in Slaithwaite is dominated by the massive stone viaduct carrying the ex-LNWR Standedge route railway line along the north side of the Colne Valley. The chimney is part of the Spa cotton-spinning Mill built in 1907. This vast mill is now the home of Spectrum Yarns and their well-known brand, Stylecraft Yarns.

The sun shines on Halifax's ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station & its remaining island platform dating from 1886 while the industrial scenery beyond stands in the gathering cloud.
