Corrugated iron lamp hut at Ropley on the Mid Hants Railway. A fireproof structure for storage of paraffin for signal and hand lamps in former days. There is some more nice rusty iron on the roof of the building in the background.

Bloom Street

tarboat has posted:

In 1901 The Manchester Corporation Bloom Street power station opened with eleven Babcock and Wilcox coal-fired boilers and four 1,800 kW Musgrave vertical engines driving Westinghouse generators. It was built to supplement the nearby Dickinson Street Electric Light Station because demand for electric lighting and the new electric tramways had grown too high. From 1911 onward, surplus steam was piped underground to heat local city-centre landmarks like the Palace Theatre and the Refuge Assurance Building. In 1953, oil-fired boilers replaced the original coal plant. The station officially ceased power generation and closed in 1985. Parts of the building now house an electricity substation. It is listed Grade II.

The bridge looks a bit scary, but I'm sure there are spectacular photos to be taken from it. Unfortunately, because of limited time at the waterfall, I was unable to get down there and cross it. Best seen large.

Near Eidfjord. Although only the 83rd highest waterfall in Norway with a total drop of 183 meters, it is apparantly the most famous because of its dramatic setting. Best seen large.

Cruise stop and launching point for viewing the Vøringsfossen waterfall. As can be deduced from the umbrellas carried by the people in the bottom left hand corner, it was a wet day. Eidfjord is a pretty town located on the shore of the Eidfjorden, an inner branch of the large Hardangerfjorden.

Ventilation

tarboat has posted:

The fan house at Duke Pit in Whitehaven was built in a castellated style on the hillside above the harbour. It is a scheduled monument. The first installation in this building was an 8ft diameter 1836 fan wheel which moved 23,000 cubic feet of air per minute. This was the first attempt at mechanical ventyilation in the Whitehaven coalfield. In 1870 it was replaced by a 36ft diameter Guibal fan to move 70,000 cubic feet of air per minute.
