HBM Roundhay Leeds 29th June 2026

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.

HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of another week.

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.

HBM to everyone. Have a great start to the new week.

Two young lads walk along a fine cobbled road by the classic sandstone wall.

And oh yes, just by coincidence, in the background Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 45212 is running round its train in Keighley station prior to working the 14.25 to Oxenhope Mince Pie Special...

A Christmas Day walk in Roundhay Park by the Upper Lake.

This marks my first visit to the park since 1967 when I had a University vacation job selling ice cream from my Mr Softee van by Roundhay Waterloo Lake!

Another view of Salts Mill in Saltaire. A classic industrial scene of mill and canal in a Yorkshire dale. That beautiful tower is in fact a chimney built in 1868 and is based on the campanile of the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice!!

The original former woollen mill now houses the brilliant 1853 art Gallery & David Hockney exhibition as well as various other offices and units. The New Mill with the tower is the home of the Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust.

I wish everyone a Happy Fence Friday. Have a great weekend.

It's good to see this Midland Railway relic is still in situ by the site of the long-gone Forster Square station in Bradford. It is at least 102 years old and the wrought iron MR is wearing thin!

This was the entrance to the station back in the day but today it is just a fence in the Midland Hotel car park. The present-day station is some distance further north.

HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Loose_Grip/Pete has posted:

Salts Mill and the surrounding village of Saltaire was financed and built by the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt in 1853 after he observed other textile factories and was disappointed by the working conditions he saw there. The woolen mill closed in 1986 and the following year it was sold to Jonathan Silver, who began a long renovation scheme.

The 1853 Gallery is on the ground floor of the Mill & has a permanent David Hockney art exhibition. His huge "Pacific Surf" faxed drawing is seen here in the background.

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

Thorne South station where my father worked as a porter in the 1940s. British Railways Class 31 diesels 31105 & 31235 pass eastwards with a train of rails.

The photo was taken to highlight the Great Central Railway remains rather than the engines - rather obviously! All that was left of the Victorian station by 1974 were these rather delicate railings & gas lamp standard on the Down side & the partial wall on the Up platform. The truncated supports for the platform awnings can be seen on the Up side together with the fading Eastern Region blue "Thorne" running in sign. Later the whole lot was bulldozed and a new station built left of this spot which only ever had bus shelter waiting areas. The old MS&L stationmaster's house still stands however below and to the left of this view.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.
