3. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

6. Sudeley Castle Winchcombe
Sudeley Castle is located in the Cotswolds near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. The present structure was built in the 15th century and may have been on the site of a 12th-century castle. The castle has a notable garden, which is designed and maintained to a very high standard. The chapel, St. Mary's Sudeley, is the burial place of Queen Catherine Parr , the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, and contains her marble tomb. Unusually for a castle chapel, St Mary's of Sudeley is part of the local parish of the Church of England. Sudeley is also one of the few castles left in England that is still a residence. As a result, the castle is only open to visitors on specific dates, and private family quarters are closed to the public. It is a Grade I listed building, and recognised as an internat...

Day Out In Peak District, Derbyshire

A Slideshow of my flying visit to the Peak District in Derbyshire, featuring its magnificent sceneries and nature...truly a countryside to visit. Ilam Park and Heights of Abraham (yes like the one in Canada)are very nice places to see on a summer day. August 2007

3G Swing - Kingswood - Ashford

Ok so basically this is a thing I gone and done when I was in year 6 (I'm about to start year 10), don't ask me why this has so many views because I just don't even

Lamerton parish church

This video is of the inside of St Peter's church at Lamerton, near Tavistock, Devon, UK. This is quite a large church and was the first place me and some friends visited. It is quite a large church and is on the outskirts of Lamerton village. I called it a parish church but it is actually joined on with Sydenham Damerel parish but Lamerton is still it's own parish, for now.

Tamworth Freight - 16th October 2013

Today's Traction Action takes place at Tamworth on Wednesday 16th October 2013, yep it's another dive into the back catalogue again but worth the wait I'd hope.

Starting off in frankly naff weather we begin with a pair of DRS Sheds and in worsening weather we get EWS sheds too, two of which 66095 and 66121 were subbing for Class 60s so I had an iffy feeling about the day. Perseverance does pay off and eventually we get 60091 heading through with a tanker train. Colas 47749 comes through on the Steel and makes a wonderful noise as he opens up on the approach, the sound able to carry due to the sudden lack of wind.

There are some freightliner 86s out and about as well as a nice assortment of Class 90s too, the usual collection of sheds are out in force, the flying banana makes an appearance and 60063 makes a nice and steady approach with a pair of 67s on a test train following behind, 67028 & 67026 to be precise. GBRF let the side down by sending 66723 out on the Trafford Park to Felixstowe working but we still managed to get some Dyson action thanks to one taking the empty cartic back down south and 92041 piloting the mail train consisting of 3 class 325 units. Arguably the 8X09 stole the show with 20311 & 20314 opening up right on cue whilst hauling the underground stock with 20118 & 20096 on the rear.

All in all it was a good day, it started out looking like it would be a bad one but things worked out for the best. It was part of a long week for me starting with the trip to Barnetby on the Monday and a trip to Acton Bridge following the day after this. Tamworth is a good place to go as proven on other videos, just sometimes patience is a much needed virtue, as seems to be the case with this hobby.

Best enjoyed in 1080, with the sound up for 47749!

Coventry Canal - Atherstone to Fazeley (time lapse)

From Atherstone Bottom Lock No 11 to the Visitor Moorings at Fazeley Junction is a cruise of eight and a half miles and includes the two Glascote Locks and the Tame Aqueduct. This is along the main line of the Coventry Canal before the turn at Fazeley Junction onto the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.

As we were leaving Bradley Green after a quick stop for water, a single handed boat came through the bridge and gave us a most interesting demonstration of his mooring technique. Pointy end against towing path, run along side of boat and leap, rope in hand, as the boat went backwards out into the cut!

At Grendon Dock we came upon a boat either winding or turning from the dock, decorated in flat grey primer along one side and green coachwork along the other. For some reason best known to himself, the skipper of this boat dawdled along the next mile or so of canal at one mile per hour, continually looking back at us, mumbling into his beard and showing no sign of letting us past.

Sod it we thought and pulled in for an early lunch break. As we finished tying up, our good friend nb Katie of AWAY4AWHILE hotel boats, he who had followed us down the Atherstone Flight and is without doubt the FASTEST NARROWBOAT ON THE CUT, came past at warp speed 12 and informed us that he would have No trouble moving the slow bugger in front. No doubt he would adopt the same push 'em off the cut and up the towing path technique he had employed passing us on the Oxford Canal the previous Saturday!

A slight not changing the tape malfunction occurred around Polesworth, causing us to miss about a mile of canal.

Surprisingly as we approached Glascote Locks and Basin we actually caught up our good friend the speedy nb Katie. This wasn't, you will understand, because we too had been traveling at warp speeds, but rather because some twat had earlier in the day left open the gates and/or paddles of the Bottom Lock thereby draining the pound. Katie's skipper informed us that when he arrived there was a queue of 10 boats waiting to go down the locks. By this time we were number three and proceeded forwards by a number of small leaps till it was our turn to lock down.

Shortly after the Tame Aqueduct we had a temporary heave ho for an oncoming boat as our good friend nb Katie was now taking on board coal from a double parked working boat and reducing the cut to a single boats width.

Nick's Canal Planner told us that the Visitor Mooring were to be found around the Junction at the top of the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. This wasn't entirely clear from either Nicholson's or Pearson's causing us to stop at moorings just before the Junction, where the good lady wife went off for a butchers. Nick, as always, was right.

By the time we set off our good friend nb Katie had passed us once more. We made the turn and found nb Katie temporarily moored. As we started to moor, Mrs. Katie came by with shopping from the Tamworth Tesco Express, leapt aboard and off went nb Katie into the sunset at warp speed, never to be seen again.

Tesco Express had gin but no tonic, so fortified with a couple of bottles of antipodean vino calapso, I had a wonderful takeaway dinner of Lamb Tikka Vindaloo with all the trimming from the wonderfully named Spice Takeaway. The girls had Chinese.
