Great shot, Ian!

Pleased to have visited - finally - last year. Not quite such clear weather (could see the coast - sometimes, momentarily!) but a good day nonetheless.

It's on until Monday!

Loads here, from us and others - well worth some time.

The static content will stay on site for the remainder of Inspiration's stop at Crewe (until 19 January), so do head in & have a look!

Delighted to have this opportunity to share the Railway Work, Life & Death project with people like this - thanks to all involved!
