The Spanish City seen from St Mary's Island

The Spanish City, now a dining and entertainment centre in Whitley Bay in the North East of England, is referenced throughout the Dire Strait song "Tunnel of Love". At the time of the song’s release, it was a funfair with fair rides and other amusements.

Whitley Bay is also the home of Ann Cleeves, the creator of the crime series "Vera". Several of the murders in that series took place on the beach here.

I am aware that this is not a great photograph technically. However it is interesting for me because I used to live nearby.

Rugeley 'B' power station was still generating for a few more weeks when I took this, but was finally switched off on June 9th, 2016. It was commissioned in 1970 and could generate around 1000 megawatts of electricity.

The passing Pendelino is the icing on the cake.

Financial problems led to changes in management of the mill company and it was finally completed in 1913 by Philip Sidney Stott.

At its peak, the mill employed approximately 300 people to run 52 pairs of spinning mules with a total of 137,312 spindles. This remained until the 1950s when the mill was electrified and replaced by 33,636 ring spindles. It ceased operation as a textile mill in March 1978. Today it is a listed structure and divided into business units.

The mill is so named because it was built on the land of Pear Tree Farm. The building includes a number of decorative pears on the structure and as a dome on the tower.

tarboat has posted:

Dove Holes quarry is operated by Cemex and ships out vast quantities of limestone by road and rail. The quarry is an amalgamation of the earlier Holderness and Newline quarries both of which have been lowered to the water table. Recent developments have seen the quarry expand northwards into the Bee Low area. There is a large area of fixed plant for crushing and screening the stone. The stone is taken by conveyor from the tipping dock and primary crusher to a stockpile under the gantry at lower centre of the image.
