A photograph from a shopping trip to Leeds in June… On the rare occassions I go shopping I also try to fit in one of two things… some photography or a decent pint of beer.
On this particular day I managed both!
Bridge 225H carries the railway lines west of Leeds station over the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

Suffering from tinnitus means I don’t photograph nearly as much live music as I used to but when I found out Freeway were playing outdoors at one of my favourite local micropubs, The Bunny Hop Ale House I thought I’d go along and take a few pics (and have a pint or two!)

Lytham St. Anne’s
Kershaw 450, exposure details not recorded – Ilford XP2 Super
Not Lytham St. Anne’s the place but Lytham St. Anne’s the steam locomotive… or parts of it anyway!
This locomotive was built by Peckett & Sons in 1949 as works no.2111 and was used at Blackpool Gasworks. After intial preservation at Lytham St Anne’s it moved to the Midland Railway-Butterley in 1990 where it ran for six years before being withdrawn for overhaul.
