Nice shot David.
I still keep looking for a sign of an (old) railroad, but so far I could not spot it.

The old railway station is out of shot to the left of those green vans.

Ok.
And did it have a  connection to the harbor?
(that you know off)

I’m not aware of that.  The old building is still there and quite decorative.   I will have to try and get a shot if it.

Do you know if there is a place where you can see old aerial photo's?
A bit like this one.

Yes there are a few sites like that here.

Thanks!
I have created an account and that gives the option to zoom in considerably.

It does look like there could have been one track going to the river, but I see a stop buffer in that track, so I'm not sure if that was the case.

Interesting. Surprising how big the ships are that run in there (and are on the ground half the time)...

Oh wow,   I didnt know that.    I even see a turn table there.

If you see where the orange van is bottom right,   that whole area used to be boats that were being repaired out of the water.   The flats in front of that van are quite new and the boat repairs stopped when they were built.

It was quite a nice station.
Sad to see it all gone now.

The station is still there,   but the track is long gone,  but there are sections of the railway where you can still walk along the raised section where the tracks once were.

So much beauty gone.

There has been talk about reconnecting the line,   but I doubt that will happen.

Usually it is very expensive and often close to impossible due to changes in the landscape (buildings etc).
I just wish they had not cleared all these old railways, since they would have been handy in many cases now with more people.

Nice shot David, but starting to look a bit bleak with the onset of Winter.

Honestly.  That was a good day Mr B.    Currently getting battered with wind and rain.   But.  Snow is forecast overnight.

I agree.  And when they’re not being used they are great for photos.

Probably my fault.  I just took the mini2 batteries off charge and put the drone by the door ready for the morning sunrise.

I could be equally to blame, I've just spent the last couple of hours charging up every battery in sight.

Very true

Well no snow this morning,  but its absolutely bitter,  wet and very windy still.

Howling winds all night, and a light dusting of snow, which is already melting away

I do love some snow,  but thats not enough.    Oh well its a start I guess.

I'd have to go outside to see what's on the hills - and I don't want to leave my warm little computer den

I saw some pics of Staffordshire and they had a thick coating.

I'm torn between wanting to go out and photograph what's left, and wanting it to melt away

I’ve been out since 6:45 and it’s bitter out there today so wrap up warm if you go.

It's 4 degrees Celsius here and the winds have dropped considerably. There's a fast thaw at the moment.  Too windy for the drones, but the P2 might survive with an overcoat
