This former British Railways (BR) 16-ton mineral wagon is on display at the Prestongrange Museum in East Lothian.

Prestongrange Museum was originally founded as the National Mining Museum Scotland (now sited at Newtongrange in Midlothian) but is now dedicated to the area’s other once significant but vanished industries – salt boiling, chemical synthesis, soap making, glass making, potteries, industrial ceramics and bricks. It’s well worth a visit!

I’ve not felt like blogging much of late… or photography… or pretty much anything else really but as we approach the end of the year I’m doing my best to motivate myself to get out and about more.

Spending just a bit of time outdoors with a camera does wonders for my mental wellbeing, I just need a push to get me going again…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Three years ago it was The Birds, an abstract sculpture representing a flock of birds taking flight by Edinburgh artist Malcolm Robertson, displayed in the centre of Glenrothes in Fife.

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!)

The Grade II* listed St Mary’s Bridge in Derby has featured here before… and given my fondness for a pint (or two) at the Furnace Inn just a few yards away, it will no doubt do so again!

I’ve mentioned before the complete disarray a lot of my negatives are in and this image is a prime example!

A sheet of negatives turned up yesterday (whilst I was looking for something else) and after much head-scratching I worked out that this pic was of The Church of St Mary and All Saints in Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire and was taken in August… 1998!
