Throwback Thursday… SIR KEITH PARK… at Keighley
Southern Railway Battle of Britain class 4-6-2 34053 SIR KEITH PARK
Nikon D600, AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR at 48mm, 1/125s, f8, ISO 2000
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was a steam gala at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (K&WVR).
Southern Railway (SR) Battle of Britain class 4-6-2 34053 SIR KEITH PARK was visiting from the Severn Valley Railway (SVR) but managed to wreak havoc with the day’s timetable thanks to defective sanding gear (something vital for the constant climb up to Oxenhope) and a leaking piston valve.
Built by the Southern Railway at Brighton Works in 1947 as 21C153 (designer Oliver Bulleid employed an idiosyncratic numbering system for his locomotives) and named after Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Rodney Park, GCB, KBE, MC & Bar, DFC, the First World War flying ace and Second World War Royal Air Force commander, the locomotive saw only 18 years service before being withdrawn in October 1965 but luckily preservation would beckon and 34053’s restoration was eventually completed in 2012.

A quick pic from the (digital) archives today… it popped up while I was looking for something else and as it was taken ten years ago today I thought I’d include it!
Weybourne Hope is where the shingle spit of Blakeney Point meets the North Norfolk cliffs and there is an old saying that refers to the deep inshore water here that would allow ships to unload troops and stores here in the event of an invasion.
‘He who would all England win, should at Weybourne Hope begin’

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the subway leading up into the Broadmarsh Shopping centre from the bus station in Nottingham… I remember thinking it had a Star Wars ‘trench run’ feel to it at the time…

Throwback Thursday… Villegeneray, France
Propping up the roof

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the commune of Villegeneray in the Nièvre department in central France…
A delightfully rustic place, the ramshackle woodwork above supported the roof of a building home to a tractor and the Hollyhock was growing through the framework of a water well!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
14 years ago it was the French commune of Mur-de-Barrez in the Aveyron department in southern France.
With a population of only 800 or so it was an incredibly peaceful little place to spend an afternoon, in fact we hardly saw a soul…
