County Arcade, Leeds

The County Arcade in Central Leeds (1898-1900), incorporating a cast iron framed glazed roof makes for good photographs. Restored in the late 1980s, the T-shaped arcade was one of the few places in the city open for business on New Years Day.

Bennerley Viaduct

The Bennerley Viaduct in Nottinghamshire is a disused Grade II* listed lattice girder railway viaduct which stretches for 443m in length. Built c.1876/7 and comprising 15 trestle piers, the structure spans the Erewash Valley. It remains merely due to the prohibitively high cost for the demolition of the wrought iron structure when it was taken out of use in the early 1970s.

Rutland Water

I made a brief visit to the area of Rutland Water around Barnsdale in October. Home to multiple sporting activities and more leisurely pursuits it is somewhere I will revisit next summer with my bike to complete a loop of the lake and explore the village of Upper Hambleton on the central promontory and also Normanton Church which survived the initial flooding of the area during the creation of the lake.

The Etherow Valley

A view of the Etherow Valley with the village of Compstall in the distance. As locations to work go, it is nice up in the hills during the summer months but very bleak in the winter.
