https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1216850
Skidby Mill with the 15 tonne cap removed for restoration. It took a crane and 7.5 hours of hard work to remove it. The renovation work (which also includes the sails) is expected to cost around £60,000.text/html2008-12-29T01:31:50+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker54.328994 -0.701216SE8493 : Sunset and fog over the Hole of Horcum

A picture of the Killhope Wheel taken in the late 70's, before the buildings were fully restored and re-opened as a museum. The place was totally derelict when we visited. Note the absence of the water chute which originally fed the wheel, now restored.text/html2008-12-21T20:58:27+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker54.428669 -3.006208NY3404 : Fallen tree
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1087087
Spotted on the footpath dropping down from Loughrigg Fell towards Loughrigg Tarn. The rest of the tree had been completely split away and had fallen across the track demolishing a section of dry stone wall in the process. Looking at the way it has split, I think it may have possibly been caused by a lightning strike ?text/html2008-12-19T02:27:59+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker55.954642 -3.187816NT2574 : Bridge over Leith Street linking to St James Shopping Centre

The Eastern Portal of Sugar Loaf Tunnel on the dismantled Hull & Barnsley Railway, closed in 1959. This short tunnel is still open at both ends (see Jonathan Fry's photo of the Western Portal).text/html2007-07-22T16:03:05+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker53.789232 -0.556006SE9533 : Drewton Tunnel West Portal
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/501726
The last visible parts of the Western portal of the 1 mile 354 yard long Drewton Tunnel on the dismantled Hull & Barnsley Railway which was closed in 1959. Sadly, quarrying works in the area have meant that most of the tunnel entrance has been buried by landfill in recent years.text/html2007-07-11T22:31:06+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker54.878781 -2.511168NY6753 : Railway bridge over the South Tyne Railway
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/492143
Bridge over a disused stretch of the South Tyne Railway, now the South Tyne Trail.
This line is unusual by the fact that from 1840 to 1976 it was standard gauge. In 1976 the re-laying of the line commenced as narrow gauge, starting at Alston. An ongoing project is in place which should hopefully see a section of the line eventually extended as far as Slaggyford.text/html2007-07-10T00:18:50+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/15706Nick Barker54.363800 -3.066491SD3097 : Memorial to Donald Campbell
