Seagull WWSC-10, Haiou 75mm f/3.5 – 1/125s, f11, – Ilford FP4 Plus
Developed in Adox FX-39II at 1:9, 6 mins at 20°c.

Handyside Bridge spans the River Derwent in Derby and used to carry the Great Northern Railway’s (GNR) Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension from Eggington Junction to Colwick.

You can now walk across the bridge from Darley Park to Chester Green… to the Little Chester Ale House should that appeal 😁

Canon EOS 30, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/350s, f5.6 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

I’m amazed that Paul Day’s wonderful sculpture The Meeting Place at St Pancras station hasn’t featured here before… Obviously this is just a part of the sculpture but I’d only got a 40mm lens with me that day and couldn’t fit any more in!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was Leawood Pumphouse near Cromford in Derbyshire.

The Grade II* listed building dates from 1949 and houses a Watt-type beam engine that pumped water from the River Derwent to the Cromford Canal until 1944 when the canal closed. The Pump House was restored in 1979 by the Cromford Canal Society and the engine is steamed periodically.
