This engine was built in 1935 at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-Le-Willows, Lancashire, England and was designed by Colonel Kenneth Cantile (a British railway advisor to the Chinese government) for passenger and freight service on the Chinese railway network.

The engine is 28.3 metres (93 feet) long and weighs 195 tonnes. It carries 12.2 tonnes of coal and 24,410 litres (6469 UK gallons) of water and is capable of pulling a load of 609 tonnes at a speed of up to 50 mph on level ground. Each of the 8 main driving wheels is almost 1.8 metres (approx. 6 feet) in diameter.

During the Second World War it was captured and used by the Imperial Japanese army. After the war it was used again on the Chinese rail network until 1981 when it was donated to the people of Britain as a gift from the people of China and put on static display at the National Railway Museum in York.

Livingston Thompson.

The Livingston Thompson, a "Double Fairlie" 0-4-4-0T type locomotive (built in 1885 and operated on the Ffestiniog Railway), now restored as a static display at the National Railway Museum in York.

The Ffestiniog Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd Ffestiniog) is a 23.5 inches wide (597 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway located in Gwynedd, Wales. It is a major tourist attraction located mainly within the Snowdonia National Park. The railway is roughly 13 miles (21 km) long and runs from the harbour at Porthmadog to the slate-mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, travelling through forested and mountainous scenery. The line is single track throughout with four intermediate passing places. The narrow gauge track allows trains to inter-work through to the Welsh Highland Railway of 1922 (operated by the Ffestiniog). The first mile of the line out of Porthmadog runs atop an embankment locally called "the Cob", which is the dyke of the Traeth Mawr "polder".

The railway company is properly known as the "Festiniog Railway Company" and this obsolete but contemporary spelling is the official title of the company as defined by the Act (2 William IV cap.xlviii) that created the railway. It is the oldest surviving railway company in the world (although not the oldest still working - a record which goes to the Middleton Railway), having been founded by the Act of Parliament on 23 May 1832 with capital mostly raised in Dublin by Henry Archer, the company's first secretary and managing director. Most British railways were amalgamated into four large groups in 1921 and then into British Railways in 1948 but the Festiniog Railway Company, in common with most narrow gauge railways, remained independent.

The famous "Rose" window in the South transept of York Minster.

The minster has a wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic choir and Early English North & South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338. Over the Lady Chapel in the East end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the North transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 16 metres (52 ft) high. The South transept contains the famous rose window while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design, colloquially known as 'The Heart of Yorkshire'.

Pendle Water in Winter.

Phil has posted:

Rising on Pendle Hill in East Lancashire, Pendle Water cuts a deep valley between Barley Moor and Spence Hill where it feeds the Ogden Reservoirs before making its way Eastward through Roughlee, draining the valley near Wheathead at Water Meetings (1 mile to the West of Blacko village), then moving South by Higherford and Barrowford where it is joined by Colne Water. Pendle Water subsequently runs by the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate West of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to its confluence with the River Calder in Reedley Hallows, North-West of Burnley.

See NOTES.

York Minster is a cathedral in York, England and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England and is the cathedral for the Diocese of York. The title "minster" is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches and serves now as an honorific title.
The minster has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic Quire and East end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338 and over the Lady Chapel in the East end is the Great East Window, (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the North transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 52 feet (16 m) high.

York, Constantine The Great.

nobody@ipernity.com (Phil) — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 11:05:57 +0000

Phil has posted:

Constantine the Great (Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus; 274 – 337), also known as Constantine I or Saint Constantine, was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337. Constantine was the son of Flavius Valerius Constantius, a Roman army officer and his consort Helena. His father became Caesar, the deputy emperor in the west in 293. Constantine was sent East where he rose through the ranks to become a military tribune under the emperors Diocletian and Galerius. In 305, Constantius was raised to the rank of Augustus, senior western emperor, and recalled West to campaign under his father in Britannia. Acclaimed as emperor by the army after his father's death in 306, Constantine emerged victorious in a series of civil wars against the emperors Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of both west and east by 324.
The first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan, which decreed religious tolerance throughout the empire. He called the First Council of Nicaea in 325, at which the Nicene Creed was professed by Christians. In military matters, the Roman army was reorganised to consist of mobile field units and garrison soldiers capable of countering internal threats and barbarian invasions. Constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the Roman frontiers—the Franks, the Alamanni, the Goths, and the Sarmatians—even resettling territories abandoned by his predecessors during the turmoil of the previous century. The age of Constantine marked a distinct epoch in the history of the Roman Empire.

The packhorse bridge in the Pendle village of Wycoller. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in Wycoller and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The footpath over this bridge has been eroded by centuries of use (mainly by clog-wearing hand-loom weavers in pre-industrial times) and is deeply grooved. Both arches are leaning slightly sideways as the result of many years of heavy use.

"Colne Water" in Winter.

Phil has posted:

Colne Water is a small river near the town of Colne in North-West England. It is formed at Covey Bridge by the confluence of the River Laneshaw and Wycoller Beck. From there the river runs in a westerly direction via Cottontree to join Pendle Water at Lowerford. The Brown colouration of the water is caused by peat particles from the hills and moors which surround the area. Photographed on a very cold and frosty morning whilst walking from Brierfield to Trawden. Camera Nikon D90 and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.
