Old Photographs Falkirk Central Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Falkirk, a large town in the Central Lowlands. Historically within the county of Stirlingshire. It lies in the Forth Valley north west of Edinburgh and north east of Glasgow. The town is at the junction of the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, a location which proved key to its growth as a centre of heavy industry during the Industrial Revolution. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Falkirk was at the centre of the iron and steel industry. The area was at the forefront of canal construction when the Forth and Clyde Canal opened in 1790. The Union Canal built in 1822 provided a link to Edinburgh and early railway development followed in the 1830s and 1840s. The Antonine Roman Wall, which stretches across the centre of Scotland, passed through the town and remnants of it can still be seen. George Forrest who was born in Falkirk on 13 March 1873, was a Scottish botanist, who became one of the first explorers of China's then remote southwestern province of Yunnan, generally regarded as the most biodiverse province in the country. Robert Dollar, also known as Captain Robert Dollar, who was born in 1844 in Bainsford, Falkirk. was a Scots American industrialist. The title Captain was honorary and he was called the Grand Old Man of the Pacific. Both were bestowed after his entry into the shipping industry. Dollar became a lumber baron, shipping magnate, philanthropist; he was also a Freemason. His biography and an extensive introduction by him is contained within the book, Men Who Are Making the West 1923. Thomas Clement Douglas was born in Falkirk on 20 October 1904. He was a Canadian social democratic politician and Baptist minister. He was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in 1935 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. He left federal politics to become the Saskatchewan CCF's leader and then the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961. His government was the first social democratic government in North America, and it introduced the continent's first single payer, universal health care program. Robert D. Wilson was born in Falkirk on February 3, 1839. He was an American farmer and politician. Wilson emigrated to the United States in 1854 and settled in the Town of Melrose, Jackson County, Wisconsin. Wilson was a farmer who served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1880 and was a Republican.

7-letting bedroom Hotel in Nottinghamshire
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England
Advert Ref: 1984
Business Description
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this well appointed hotel, which was established in 1990 and has been operated by our clients since 2002. The business is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to emigrate. Tudor Lodge Hotel offers 7 letting rooms and is beautifully decorated and maintained throughout with a large lawned garden area and ample parking. The hotel provides accommodation for visitors and contractors and is used by Basford College, Nottingham City Council, Ashfield Council, and local police, universities and hospitals. We are advised that our client has recently secured a 5-year contract for accommodation for 12 people Monday to Friday each week. Our client has earned a reputation for a warm welcome and value for money accommodation. Turnover could be increased by offering evening meals and opening the restaurant to non-residents, along with promoting the hotel facilities for conferences, weddings and other celebrations. Should the new owner desire, there is scope to expand the business by extending the letting accommodation and restaurant area, subject to the necessary regulations. Our client currently has a web site in place containing information about the facilities, location and contact details, which has an internet reservation system incorporated. We feel this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a popular and established hotel on the outskirts of the city centre, which is well-maintained, and has opportunities to increase turnover. Early inspection and negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.

Blast from the Past - DBC 92's + Former British Railway Workings
Well seeing as I am feeling a little nostalgic, I thought I would turn my attention back to some footage I have taken since 2013 (as that's where my archive starts). They say in the railway industry, one year is always different to the next, so imagine three years or so on from 2013. During that time, some major changes have happened on the British Railway Network. On another note, I have included plenty of DB Cargo Class 92's which are now either stored, no longer in the country or not allowed on the Main BR network (except HS1).

RHTT's and Freight around the West Midlands - 21st October 2017
Must apologise for the lack of video content on here. Been very busy recently with one thing and another so haven't had the time to get out and do some filming of trains. But this one day presented me with a chance to get out and do some video. My announcement is due (sometime), but I haven't had chance to get it done yet.
Well seeing as its the leaf fall season once again, plenty of Rail Head Treatment Trains are out in force across the United Kingdom. These trains are around to clear the leafs from off the railhead, the leafs cause adhesion issues if the rails are left untreated. For this video, we focus on the RHTT sets around the West Midlands. With it being Saturday, not all the RHTT sets were out; but the ones that were out, me and a few close friends of mine went out and captured. There are also a couple of shots of freight trains that were sighted during the time I got some filming done.
