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.

The once-splendid Great Western Railway Snow Hill station was slowly rotting away 8 years after through trains were withdrawn and 3 years since the last shuttles to Wolverhampton Low Level ran. At this time the station was used as a car park and the trackbed was filled so cars could park across the platforms. This shot was taken on a Sunday when the car park was closed.

Sunrise over Castle Hill & Emley Moor as seen from Waller Clough Road, Scapegoat Hill.

The Shakespeare Express is a regular summer season, steam-hauled, service between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon operated by Vintage Trains using Tyseley's locomotives. Great Western Railway Hall 4-6-0 4965 Rood Ashton Hall is seen at Snow Hill. The modern concrete station is not very fitting! HFF and have a great weekend.
