Unexpected find on a strip of 1976 negatives today of ICI Weaver Power Station. The other 29 images are showing the wear to the turbine blades and this little gem is a moment in time where the photographer had taken a snap of the workers. They look happy in their work :)

Very civilised day spent #runcorntownhall to mark the 25th anniversary of #runcornhistoricalsociety - enough cake to lay us low for days but we powered on through! Honoured to visit the Mayors Parlour. Fave items the #widnesmarket bell from 1875 and driving handle from the #transporterbridge

A dry run (walk) on the route @thegladsatsuma is planning as @hazlehurstart participates in the Big Film Photowalk in Runcorn on Sat 28 June for the second year running.

Spoiler alert - we may be taking the path of the old locks via Bridgewater House amongst other places :) #analoguephotography

This morning’s walk across the bridge accompanied by curses for not realising the MOT was out on my car by a mere 6 weeks :)

Lovely #snapandsocial walk with @hazlehurstart.bsky.social and @thegladsatsuma.bsky.social today in #runcorn taking in the new Dukesfield murals and #wiggisland - a perfect day for it too!

What an absolute joy it is to see this project by #reconnectingruncorn come to fruition. A fantastic day seeing the creation of the murals and listening to the artists Aylo Nomad and Liam Bononi talk so passionately about their work. #murals #runcorn #dukesfield
