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Passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 and Bennerley Viaduct closed altogether, along with the rest of the line, in 1968 as a result of the Beeching cuts.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.

The Wimple Estate near Royston has been lived on and farmed for over 2,000 years. The hall dates from 1640 with major rebuilds and additions in the 18th century.

It passed through several hands over the years (sometimes as forced sales due to debts) but its last owner from 1938 was the daughter of Rudyard Kipling and at her death in 1976 she left the Hall and estate to the care of the National Trust.

HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

80 years ago on May 8th 1945 at the end of the Second World War in Europe my father was with the RAF Regiment in Kiel Germany and a few days later moved on to Copenhagen where this photo was taken.

Here my father is standing second from left with Les Brooks to the right of him billeted in the Naval Academy with 2827 Rifle Squadron. The main squadron base was at Vaerlose airfield northwest of the city but a small section of airmen were allocated to this location which was also a flying boat base. The LuftMarine was still in occupation in May-June 1945 and he and his fellow airmen were the only Allied military personnel on site until the Germans were repatriated.
