Ten years ago it was it was this Hunslet class WD ‘Austerity’ 0-6-0ST steam locomotive at Rowsley South station at Peak Rail.

Slide Film Sunday… GWR 4900 class 4-6-0 5900 HINDERTON HALL at the Didcot Railway Centre

Great Western Railway 4900 class 4-6-0 5900 HINDERTON HALL
Fujichrome
Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.
This Great Western Railway (GWR) 4900 ‘Hall’ class 4-6-0 steam loco was photographed at the Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire… another place I really must revisit!
Again I’ve got no idea of the details of this dimly lit interior shot other than the film is probably Fujichrome Sensia and I almost certainly wasn’t using a tripod!

Great Northern Railway corn warehouse, Nottingham
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 23mm, 1/170s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Nine years ago it was a couple of odd corners of the city of Nottingham.
Designed by T.C. Hine, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) corn warehouse dates from 1857 and is Grade II Listed but was badly damaged by fire in 1998 and as far as I’m aware is still standing but derelict.
