Photography & General Ramblings…
East Mill
Polaroid OneStep+ – Polaroid B&W i-Type film
We’ve not had an ‘Instant gratification’ post in quite some time and indeed this image is from the first pack of film I’ve used since picking up a secondhand Polaroid OneStep+ camera from Harrison Cameras in Sheffield over a year ago!

Crich Tramway Village, WPPD 2021
Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole + ND8 filter, 66s, f167 – Foma Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 4 mins at 20°c.
Yet another image from the fantastic Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera and one of a number I shot on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2021.
Crich Tramway Village occupies a former limestone quarry at Crich in Derbyshire and is home to more than 60 preserved tramcars.
Visible above is former Blackpool Corporation Tramways single-deck ‘toast-rack’ tramcar No.236 which became a permanent member of the fleet at Crich in 2012 and has since covered over 10,000 miles there!

Victorian greenhouses, Holkham
Fujifilm X20, Fujinon Super EBC 7.1-28.4mm f2~2.8 at 11mm, 1/350s, f8, ISO 200
Another image from North Norfolk and given the unseasonably soggy May we’re having I thought I’d choose one captured during an unseasonably warm October!
The six-acre walled garden at Holkham Hall is an ongoing restoration project and a wonderful place to while away a slumberous afternoon.
Palladian-style banqueting house, Studley Royal Water Garden
Nikon F-801s – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Fotospeed FD30 at 1:9, 5 mins at 20°c.
I’m taking advantage of the current spell of poor weather to tidy up my negative folders (so far I’m up to 145 rolls labelled and filed…)
The sheet these images are from is one of a very small number with any details attached and by coincidence they date from a visit to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden 23 years ago today!
The Cellarium, Fountains Abbey

Belper Mill and The Triangle, March 2021
Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole + ND8 filter, 90s, f167 – Foma Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 4 mins at 20°c.
Another image of Belper East Mill, this time with ‘The Triangle’ in the foreground.
‘The Triangle’ was created c.1900 when a number of houses were demolished to improve the road juction here. It was used as the turning circle for the Derby-Belper bus from the end of the First World War until the 1970s.

Belper Mill and the River Derwent, March 2021
Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole + ND8 filter, 201s, f167 – Foma Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 4 mins at 20°c.
Another image from the fantastic Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera…
The seven-storey Belper East Mill dates from 1912 and as a child (not quite as far back as 1912!) I got to explore most of it thanks to my Dad being assistant general manager there.
The Horseshoe Weir (built c.1797) was built to enable the River Derwent to power the older West Mill and replaced a much simpler structure located slightly further upstream.

Tees Transporter Bridge
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 49mm – 1/210s, f/11, ISO 200
This image popped up today while I was looking for something else…
The iconic Tees Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough, framed by the remains of the Cleveland Salt Works on Vulcan Street in September 2017.
This fantastic structure has featured here before and no doubt will do so again…
Middleton Top, C&HPR
Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole + ND8 filter, 86s, f167 – Foma Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 4 mins at 20°c.
Another image from Middleton Top, this time from the fantastic Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera…

Jervaulx Abbey, May 1998
Minolta Autocord – Kodak T-Max T400CN
A couple of years ago I posted some images taken on a borrowed Minolta Autocord… a camera I’d completely forgotten ever using but some more negatives have recently turned up from it!
Jervaulx Abbey is somewhere I will return to (once we’re allowed to travel again), it’s a beautiful, tranquil place in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

Warren Street Station
Fujifilm X20, Fujinon Super EBC 7.1-28.4mm f2~2.8 at 13mm, 1/40s, f8, ISO 100
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Six years ago it was London during a day out riding the rails with Dad. From memory we were only in London for an hour and a half between trains but I had time for a brief wander out of Euston station and down to West End Cameras then located on Tottenham Court Road.
BT Tower reflection
Fujifilm X20, Fujinon Super EBC 7.1-28.4mm f2~2.8 at 16mm, 1/350s, f8, ISO 100
I couldn’t resist photographing the BT Tower, reflected in the University College Hospitals Education Centre, especially when a London bus sneaked into shot!
