4 Pictures taken on the 21st June 2023

 This set of were taken whilst out for a walk on the 21st June 2023 around the Pye Nest - King Cross area of Halifax.

Darnes Avenue, Pye Nest. A number of the back to back terraced houses in this area are also over - under dwellings, a type of house common in Northern England.

Washer Lane towards the Wainhouse Tavern, Halifax.

Washer Lane is named after a house known as Washer Lane that used to occupy a site nearby. It leads from the old turnpike Wakefield Road and ends near the wall viewed in the middle of the picture. The Wainhouse Tavern built in 1877 started life as a house known as West Air. Built for John Edward Wainhouse a local businessman, the unique building is known for each window being a different style. The building would eventually become a public house using the names The Royal, The Folly and currently The Wainhouse Tavern.

This closed off water trough can be found at Upper Washer Lane, Halifax. Usually their is a car parked in front of it so taking a picture is quite difficult. Built in 1878 the J.E.W satnds for John Edward Wainhouse who owned a nearby dye works, built the nearby Wainhouse Tower and lived a short walk away at West Air, now the Wainhouse Tavern.

The Prescott Fountain, Spring Edge, Halifax.

This drinking fountain was originally placed at Ward's End, Halifax in 1884 as a replacement for a stone horse trough that occupied the site. It was erected in the memory of Marion Rothwell known by her married name of Mrs Cyril Prescott. The fountain is made of Cornish granite, featured 4 small troughs for dogs, 2 larger horse troughs, 4 drinking taps for people and an ornate lamp above the central column. In 1898 the fountain was moved to a spot outside The Prince of Wales Feathers (now simply The Feathers), King Cross, before moving again in 1932 to it's current location at Spring Edge near to Crossley Heath School.

Vintage Images from the 70's and 80's.

 The following post features a random set of 4 images I recently digitised from my collection. The were taken in the 70's or 80's mainly in the United Kingdom.

River Thames and St Helen's Church Spire from Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire. The picture was taken in July 1986.

This picture taken at a date unknown in the 1980's and shows a English village scene, again i'm not sure which village is featured.

The picture shows Sugarloaf and Abergavenny Castle, Wales, taken in the 1970's I have also recoloured this picture as my original image was black and white.

Taken in a foreign land in the 70's or 80's, again i'm not sure of the actual date or location and will probably never know being a beach front sunset.

Sa Polleta des Punset and Entrance to Benirras, Northern Ibiza Artwork

 A short post of a digital artwork I recently created of a coastal scene I pictured in 2014 whilst sailing the northern coast of Ibiza. The scene pictures a rock I believe is known as the Sa Polleta des Punset which is found at the entrance to the cove of Benirras. On the day people were sailing and swimming out to the rock to use it as a diving platform. The picture shows a small boat to the side of the rock.

Abandoned Farm Building at Bradley

 I found this building whilst walking from Cooper Bridge to Brighouse trying to find a route alongside the Calder and Hebble Navigation.  I just happened upon whilst walking a track that crossed the railway leading down to the canal and with the gates clearly being locked I only photographed the building from the track passing as I am not sure about trespassing.

The pictures were taken on the 27th May 2023 with a Nikon d3300 camera. Clicking any image should open a link in another window to a un-watermarked, higher resolution version of the image on Clickasnap.
