Oldbury Canal
As a leg-stretcher after driving to Oldbury (Birmingham area), I took a walk along the Oldbury Canal to where it runs under the M5 and where a lot of reconstruction work is being done.

Comberton Church Full Spectrum Photography
Full-spectrum photography is great for dark church interiors without a tripod as it picks up all the available light. Here a few cameos from one of our local churches.

Bollington, A Town Based on Cotton Production
From the late 18th through to the mid-20th centuries, Bollington was a major centre for cotton-spinning. The high humidity enabled Clarence and other mills to produce the finest cotton in the world, and was sought after by lace makers in Nottingham and Belgium. .Clarence mill was the first in Bollington to be built for steam power. The raw materials and finished products were transported on the Macclesfield Canal, designed by Thomas Telford. There was also a railway which served the town.

Cambridge to Macclesfield Train stops
The scheduled trains were cancelled on my journey to Macclesfield so with replacement services I ended up with a bit longer in London and Stafford than I expected so I did a bit of architectural photography as I am putting a talk together for a future date.
