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at Lytham St Anne’s it moved to the Midland Railway-Butterley in 1990 where it ran for six years before being withdrawn for overhaul.

Fujifilm X20, Fujinon Super EBC 7.1-28.4mm f2~2.8 at 22.8mm, 1/160s, f8, ISO 100
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Eight years ago it was this sculpture by Liz Lemon and Gwen Heeney… I’m not sure if it has an official name but it’s known locally as the ‘Pit Top Arch’ as it stands on the site of Ripley Colliery.
Originally the arch was mirrored by a seating area but this was removed some years ago, presumably because people would insist on sitting there… 🙄
The Fujifilm X20 has recently returned after a period out on loan to a friend and I’ve started using it again.
