 | 10th Jul 2006 | 3 days in Scotland(and S+C) (20 images)
The Glasgow South Western line between Kilmarnock and Dumfries has many fantastic venues for photographing the frequent Anglo-Scottish coal trains,a little patience can be rewarded with some memorable photo's.Semaphore signals add to the attraction at some locations.
I spent 2 nights based in Sanquhar then followed the trail of the coal trains onto the "Settle to Carlisle"railway and had a rather hurried day doing the entire length of the line in one day,unable to do the S+C justice in one day I intend to take three next year.

This collection is now totally random-just things I liked whilst out driving or which caught my eye whilst waiting for trains.

 | 1st Jan 2005 | Derelict buildings (23 images)
I was fortunate enough to gain access to the main building at Brynmawr sentex during demolition and have loads of photo's of the interior/roof.The Boiler house is still standing in July 2006 and access is simply opposite the ASDA store on the site of the main factory building.(A467)
Penallta colliery buildings were stumbled upon during a visit to Ystrad Manach to photograph trains and were still extant in July 2006,I believe that they are listed.Access is gained from a small gateway to the north of the pithead baths.(off A472 on a new road just north of the station)
If anybody can point out any other disused structures with relatively"easy"access please let me know.

 | 26th Jun 2002 | Cwm coking plant (10 images)
When I saw "Cwm coking plant" as a delivery address I pulled rank and rostered myself as the driver.This was one of my last outings using 35mm film,I only had 10 exposures left on my film(if only I Had gone digital!).
When met on site I was given "carte blanche" to explore the site and cursed myself for having so little film.
Hay ho we all learn from our mistakes!

to 4th Jul 2001 | Brynmawr Dunlop-Semtex demolition (35 images)
Scanned images from three visits to this "grade 2 listed"building.This was the first post war building to be listed and is an abject lesson that a grade 2 listing counts for nothing if your local council doesn't like the building.Only the boiler house survives in 2006 and that is in danger due to neglect.If you visit the main factory site in 2006 you will be greeted by a magnificent tin shed called ASDA.
