A visit to Roundhay Park and the victorian Upper Lake bandstand. It was built as such but given the seating arrangement it's probably more of a shelter today.

Chichester cathedral was consecrated in 1108 and following a disastrous fire was rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1199. The spire was built in 1402 but collapsed in 1861 due to subsidence and was rebuilt. The cathedral spire is the third tallest in England and acts as a landmark for travellers.

Bridlington station was opened in October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway as the terminus of their line running from Hull railway station.

The present concourse shown here and the main platforms date from the 1912 expansion of the station, which included Bell's wrought iron canopies over the lengthy platforms 5 and 6. This new roofed concourse was built and the new station entrance included the original canopy from the old entrance.

Blue skies and summer clouds over Bradgate Park.

Formerly the estate of the Greys of Groby (including Queen Lady Jane Grey), the grounds of Bradgate House have been a public park since the 1920s when the then owner, Charles Bennion, bequeathed it in perpetuity to "the people of Leicestershire".

It's been a deer park even longer.

Attracted to the lights! Silhouettes in the tunnel that runs from Calke Abbey to the brewhouse.

The site was an Augustinian priory from the 12th century until its dissolution by Henry VIII. The present building, named Calke Abbey in 1808, was never actually an abbey but is a Baroque mansion built between 1701 and 1704.

HWW to everybody. Enjoy the day.

I was amazed you can get so close to this family of swans on the nest in Roundhay Park. The fence wouldn't keep them in or passers-by out.

As a child I was always told to keep well away from swans. They could break your arm with their wings my mother said & were especially dangerous when they were protecting their young. These beauties were almost in touching distance from the path and didn't even blink as people passed by!

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

HFF Bennerley Nottinghamshire 31st May 2026

nobody@ipernity.com (Loose_Grip/Pete) — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 22:07:25 +0000

Loose_Grip/Pete has posted:

Opened in 1878 it formed part of the GNR's Derbyshire Extension and after opening of the GCR main line trains ran from Nottingham Victoria to Derby via Bagthorpe Junction until closure. It is one of only two wrought iron railway viaducts remaining in the UK.

Passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 and Bennerley Viaduct closed altogether, along with the rest of the line, in 1968 as a result of the Beeching cuts. A contractor was appointed to demolish the viaduct but wrought iron cannot be cut up using conventional metal-cutting equipment and it would therefore have to be dismantled piece by piece. The cost was deemed prohibitive and the viaduct remained in situ.

HFF to everyone. Have a brilliant weekend.
