RMweb Gold DaveF Posted December 24, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2013 Some more at Manchester Piccadilly for today.

5050 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Some more great shots, thanks. I like the ones at Cadeby, we used to have regular club visits there as one of our members was a good friend of Teddy's. I remember sitting inside the hill on the OO layout trying to maintain the timetable, Teddy was very insistent on that! And High Dyke - I recognised that from Roy Jackson's (and friends!) layout!

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted December 28, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Time now for this evening's batch. We are back at Manchester Piccadilly for some slightly "different" images. Edit - my notes say February but judging by the lightness of the sky and the time (6pm) it could have been March. I remember having to rest my camera on anything that was handy to avoid camera shake. Manchester Piccadilly bufferstops February 1969 Manchester Piccadilly lamps February 1969 Manchester Piccadilly Class 108 February 1969 Manchester Piccadilly Trainex exhibition train February 1969 Does anyone happen to remember this? I've never been able to find out anything about it. David Edited December 28, 2013 by DaveF 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted December 29, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 29, 2013 A few more for today. I think the locations for the last two are correct, unless anyone thinks they are somewhere else. Manchester Piccadilly Classes 108 304 304 and 45 at bufferstops February 1969 (or it might be March).

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted December 30, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) This evening we come to the end of this thread, I hope you've enjoyed it. The other 800 or so of my black and white negatives were sold some years ago, they appear from time to time in books and magazines, captioned as part of whichever collection they are now in, not under my name. In June 1969 a group of us hired a croft near Loch Ness for a week after the University term ended, I decided to take some slide film with me and after that used colour slide film for all my railway photography. Just to complete the thread I am putting on my first colour railway photo as well.

Edit - yes, Glazebury. http://goo.gl/maps/qf4em Thanks for the information. I've just looked it up on Google Earth too. The pubs still there but the bridge has changed a bit and could do with a coat of paint. I've no idea why I typed Glazebrook, must have been thinking of the previous photo. I have to admit I've not been back there since. David Edited December 30, 2013 by DaveF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdlcs Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Off-topic: Have to agree with Paul, read Civil Engineering and it was lectures from 9am to noon or 1pm and then lab work from 2pm to 5pm with the exception of Wednesday afternoon, which I believe was to allow students to participate in sporting activities... I seem to recall it was my Accountancy and Law contemporaries that had somewhat lighter lecture schedules, plus the Arts faculty students :-) On-topic: Always enjoy looking at these pictures, most of which pre-date me.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2014 I read Electrical Engineering; up at the crack of dawn with a day full of lectures until 5pm!! Free time, yes I rember that on Wednesday afternoons, when all students had a half day off!! Goes into Monty Python mode: You were lucky, we lived in a paper bag in hole at the back of students' union building..... Great photos as always Dave. I read Biology, officially most days it was 9.30am (sometimes 10am) until 5pm, but in practice it was often quite a bit less - especially if you were quick and accurate with practical work.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 3, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2019 Just a post to check this thread still exists - no new photos to add at present though I did come across a few prints I had lost recently - I still need to check if I have used them before - when I get time. If I haven't used them they will get posted in due course David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
