Huddersfield Canal, new flats

New apartments on Knowl Street, which runs at the side of the Huddersfield Canal. I’d like one of these myself, but with the canal on one side and the river Tame on the other. All we need is one flash flood…

Oldham, Market building

Oldham market hall known as Tommyfield Market.
Actually this is the new market hall built in 1990 as the old one burnt down in 1974.
This market hall is the fourth to be built on the same site. The first was built in 1788.

There will be questions later.

Onlookers.
Perhaps they should take part a bit more…

Littleborough, police

Amazingly, even the Police joined in with the Morris dancing.
They did turn the dancing into a total shambles, but still, they tried.

Stock Car

Number 55 Craig Finnikin.

The number 55 is famous in the Stock Car racing world. Craig’s father is ex world champion Bert Finnikin who also raced under number 55 (also number 28 and now number 5). And Charlie Finnikin, who was Craig’s granddad, also raced under number 55.

This picture was taken at Buxton Raceway.

Park Bridge, tower

And finally, a highly tampered with shot of the tower. Well, I like it.
