Ironworks at Blists Hill

The Ironworks at Blists Hill are not open generally to walk round but there are conducted tours during the day so I made sure we went on one as the colours in there are great - the steel blues  with all the earth colours of rust and discarded slag. I was handholding so the depth of field is very limited but for some of the shots it worked well.

Blist's Hill in Steam

 Blist's Hill was host to a number of small and large steam engines this weekend so there were steam enthusuasts to photograph along with the usual costumed persons.

Ironbridge

We visited Ironbridge Blists Hill on our way back from north Wales. As I had been fairly recently (August 27th blog), decided to concentrate on one area. The Ironworks is an 1815 cast-iron framed smithy building from the Woolwich dockyard (my homeland), whilst the machinery and furnaces housed are from Walmsley’s Atlas works in Bolton. I am still working through the images but here are five to show the colours and the shapes that occupied me for my time there.
