HWW German Gymnasium London England 8th August 2024

nobody@ipernity.com (Loose_Grip/Pete) — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 05:45:07 +0000

Loose_Grip/Pete has posted:

Despite the name the German Gymnasium isn't a school but a restaurant in the now trendy area behind Kings Cross station in London. The roof of St Pancras railway station is just visible far left.

It was designed by Edward Gruning and was in fact England's first purpose-built gymnasium, with funding coming solely from London's German community. It was built in 1865 for the German Gymnastics Society and hosted London's first indoor Olympic Games, back in 1866.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

HFF North Woolwich East London 9th August 2024

nobody@ipernity.com (Loose_Grip/Pete) — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 15:20:46 +0000

Loose_Grip/Pete has posted:

North Woolwich station opened in 1847 as the southern terminus of the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway from Stratford. The main reason for building the North Woolwich branch was to provide access to the town of Woolwich with it's military arsenal on the south side of the River Thames.

The railway ferry ran from North Woolwich pier seen here until 1908 when the Great Eastern Railway withdrew it in the face of competition from the adjacent municipal free ferry. The pier on the south bank was demolished but that on the north bank was retained and until WW2 was used by the LNER as a calling point for river steamers providing a service to Southend and Margate.

The free ferry still runs and the two vessels seen here are the Ben Woolacott and the Dame Vera Lynn both built by Remontowa shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland, to replace the previous fleet in 2019. They have not been without problems!

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

Abbey Wood station Up platform looking west from the footbridge. The 1849 South Eastern & Chatham Railway buildings look a bit grubby. Commuters to London city centre observe the two trackmen at work.

Today the station has changed completey out of recognition as Abbey Wood is the eastern terminus of the new Crossrail / Elizabeth line.

Phil Sutters has recently posted a great series of shots of the station:

Mobile phone cameras are great but not for telephoto shots! The original was getting pretty pixelated so I processed the image to enhance the distortion. Looks like a watercolour now!!
