Monochrome Monday… R.A.F. Sutton Bridge Memorial

R.A.F. Sutton Bridge Memorial
Nikon F80, AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D at 50mm, 1/350s, f11 – Lomography Lady Grey
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3 at 1:9, 6½ mins at 20°c.
The memorial to all who served at R.A.F. Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, photographed during a trip to Norfolk in September. The propeller blade is from a Hawker Hurricane.
The structure in the background is Cross Keys Bridge, a swing bridge spanning the River Nene. From 1897 until 1965 the bridge carried both the A17 road and the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway line from Spalding to King’s Lynn. Now it just carries the A17.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
12 years ago it was the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway near Cleethorpes.
The railway occupies a short stretch of the former Great Northern Railway (GNR) East Lincolnshire Line that once linked Grimsby to Boston.

Railways and shadows… two things guaranteed to attract my lens! 😁
Howe Lane Crossing in Goxhill is on the railway line that runs from Barton-upon-Humber to Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire and with only one one train every two hours it definitely isn’t the busiest crossing in the country!
