The same spot 60 years apart on the approach into Bognor Regis (taken by me and my father). The 1938 Art Deco Southern Railways signal box is happily still there - despite not being listed #industrialarchaeology

This was formerly the tower brewery of Warwick's Anchor Brewery at Langthorpe, Boroughbridge. Different stages of the brewing process took place on different floors, with gravity aiding the process. Now converted to housing #industrialarchaeology #brewery #beer

The Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Kildwick is surely one of the most picturesque stretches on the whole route. Here the canal is carried over Newby Road by an aqueduct which forms a tunnel 50m long. #industrialarchaeology #canal

You wouldn't expect to find evidence of coal mining right in the centre of Durham but here it is - a blocked-up entrance to Elvet Colliery and even an exposed seam of coal. You can find this close to Prebends bridge #industrialarchaeology #durham

A set of functional industrial buildings left to decay and rust in north Lancashire. Still an attractive subject in my mind.

I returned to the site of my first BlueSky post - the start of the Stockton & Darlington Railway - and was pleased to see that information panels have been erected. Apparently there has been lots of visitors over the summer thanks to the @railway200.bsky.social celebrations #industrialarchaeology
