Some very old and very poor photos here I'm afraid, photo-shopped to within an inch of their lives, but still way before the digital era

Manchester's Trams in 2023
A mid-week break at the 'Midland Hotel' (cheap rates during half-term) and I managed to travel on all the lines except the Media City spur, it's big system now as I last visited in 2003 (just one photo though).

Stags Fell Mine, Wensleydale - SD 8708 9225
I believe this level was the flag stone mine rather than the lead mine. The Stags Fell quarry worked from c1813 to c1925 but the lead mine was much older, from c1680 to 1849.

The Kepwick Railway 1833 - 1893
A self-contained tramway from limekilns North of Borrowby to the quarries on Kepwick Moor. The gauge was about 4' 6" and horses worked the line, with the 1 in 5 incline being rope-worked. Well worth a visit for the views alone.

Donald Kelk
This collection of photos was given to me in the late 1950s by Donald Kelk, a railwayman, possibly even an engine driver!, from Darlington. There were no details of location or subject with them so the captions are my best interpretation. They all appear to date from the very early 1950s.
