Throwback Thursday… The Bluebell Railway
Taking on water, Sheffield Park, June 2017
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 21mm, 1/320s, f8, ISO 400
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Two years ago I was travelling on the Bluebell Railway in East Sussex on an incredibly hot day!
Southern Railway (SR) Q class 0-6-0 locomotive 30541 (built 1939, Eastleigh) was in charge of passenger trains and the above image shows it taking a drink from an 1881 vintage water crane at Sheffield Park station.
London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) class A1X 0-6-0T No.672 ‘FENCHURCH’ (built 1872, Brighton) was on display at the south end of the station and I spotted this record of its mileage painted inside the cab.
1,158,420 miles

1,158,420 miles seems like a huge figure but it’s only an average of just over 8,300 per year!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was the fishing boat ‘Ellie Jane’ at East Runton near Cromer in Norfolk.
Fishing boats here are drawn up onto the beach by a variety of ageing tractors, this one (if memory serves) is a Fordson Power Major and has clearly seen better days!
We spent quite a bit of time at East Runton between 2012 and 2015, trading dog-sitting a friend’s Jack Russell for nights in a static caravan on the cliffs… it’s a lovely spot.
