Beverley Station

This Grade2 listed station was built in 1846. It's not the busiest place on the rail network with only two trains an hour going north and the same number heading south.
At one time you could catch trains to York from here but that line was closed by the infamous Beeching axe. There were plans to reopen the York branch line but that was before the banks stole all our money.

Starburst

I believe that you can buy lens filters to produce a starburst effect but just pointing the camera at the sun through trees seems to work just as well. This was taken on the Westwood Beverley.

Warehouse Living

A Victorian riverside warehouse has been converted into apartments. I'm not sure I would like to live here considering that it is next door to the North Bridge (below) a busy connection between west and east Hull.

Big yellow crane

There has been shipbuilding on the Hull for centuries. The Bounty, of mutiny fame, was built by a Hull firm. This old crane and a couple of silting up docks are all that now remain of that industry.

Stained Glass


Leif Hagen asked for a peek inside Beverley Minster but as I don't have any shots from there this will have to do. Last year I posted some shots from inside the local church. Here are some more. If I've got my iconography right the top one is Mary and Jesus; the lower one is Elizabeth and John the Baptist, but I may well be wrong about this.
