Red Mount Chapel
Photographed on summers evening in the golden hour One popular gathering place for pilgrims en route to Little Walsingham was the Red Mount Chapel in King's Lynn.

A not insignificant amount of the coastline together with a number of properties and other structures have been lost to coastal erosion. The Sky has been replaced.
Atlantic Puffin
Puffins are any of three species of small alcids (auks) in the bird genus Fratercula. These are pelagic seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water.

Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Spurn Point Lighthouse
The Iconic Spurn Point Lightouse stands on the top of the penninsular which is covered with grasses and shrubs that help to stem the constant shifting sands, not to mention the powerfull north sea that breaches the penninsular several times a year so much so that the families of the lifeboat crew are to be rellocated in the near future.
For Hire
On the cliff's edge, left abandoned to the elements is the old towing tractor which used to launch and land the many small fishing vessel that plyed their trade from Flamborough North Landing,salt air has speeded up the erosion process to such an extent that the paintwork has given in to rust, creating a patchwork of textures so inadvertingly enhancing further this scenic part of the East Yorkshire Coast
Spurn Point
Reaching to the most southerly point of the Spurn Penninsular the North Sea gives way to the mouth of the Humber, on the horizon is the coast of Linclonshire. Overlooking these busy seaways is the RNLI Lifeboat Station and the Humber Pilots who guide all the sea traffic to the Ports of Hull and Imingham some vessells will go to the Inland Port of Goole, it is very hard to grasp the sheer length of these beaches that circumnavigate the penninsula, everywhere there is signs of the costant erosion and sifting sands.

Greyfriars Tower is one of only three remaining in the country, and is the most attractive and complete. The tower is a key landmark in King's Lynn. It owes its survival to this as, for centuries, it proved useful as a seamark for traders and sailors navigating the difficult waters of the Wash.
Black 5 45428
The Black Fives were a mixed traffic locomotive, a do-anything go-anywhere type, designed by Stanier, who had previously been with the GWR. In his early LMS days, he designed his Stanier Mogul 2-6-0 in which he experimented with the GWR school of thought on locomotive design. A number of details in this design he would never use again realising the superiority of details not used on the GWR. Stanier realised that there was a need for larger locomotives. These were to be the LMS version of the GWR Halls but not a copy, as the Hall was too wide to run most places in Britain. They shared similar cylinder arrangement (two outside), internal boiler design and size and 6 foot driving wheel diameters.
Kings Lynn Custom House
The King's Lynn Custom House is one of the town's most iconic landmarks. It was designed by architect Henry Bell and built by Sir John Turner in 1683. It was not the first Custom House built for the town – originally one was constructed in 1620 on the site where the Hogge Mansion is currently located (currently occupied by Barclay's Bank); however, this was too small and as a result a larger one was needed; St George's Guildhall was used in the intervening years.[citation needed] It is a Grade I listed building.

A true place where the rural lifestyle meets the Seafolk.
Walled Garden
A walled garden is a garden enclosed by high walls for horticultural rather than security purposes, although originally all gardens may have been enclosed for protection from animal or human intruders. In temperate climates, the essential function of the walls surrounding a walled garden is to shelter the garden from wind and frost, though they may also serve a decorative purpose.

Fraisthorpe Beach
Fraisthorpe is a flat, sandy beach in the East Riding area of Yorkshire. It forms part of Bridlington Bay, a sandy stretch of coastline that stretches on for many miles southwards, down to the Humber Estuary Fraisthorpe like many on the East Coast has suffered from Coastal Erosion the 'Rocks' shown are actually the remains of The Pill Boxs erected in the Second World War as part of the Coastal Defences and where position several Meters Inland. * Panoramic images are NOT suitable for :- Coasters Mouse mats
Monkey Puzzle Trees
These trees' leaves are thick, tough, and sharp, scaly triangles around 1 inch at the base and 1.5 inches long. I have always found them mysterious, they can be just a few feet tall but also can grow to massive specimens - all very attractive to the eye. It is called a Monkey Puzzle as it is said that to climb one would puzzle even a monkey.
Black Five 44806
Originally numbered 4806 by the LMS, it had 40000 added to its number under British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. 44806 was one of the last locomotives to be withdrawn from service, surviving until 1968, the last year of steam on British Railways. 44806 was an early candidate for preservation, moving directly from BR to the Steamtown collection at Carnforth, where it was housed in the same locomotive depot where steam's final fires had been dropped only recently. This meant that it was not subjected to the years of neglect and parts-stripping at Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales which was the fate of many. This Image was taken on Day two of the North Yorkshire Moors Railways Wartime Weekend at Grosmont Station.
61264 Departs Grosmont
Luck was on her side: 61264 was sold to Woodham Brothers scrapyard, Barry Island, the only former LNER locomotive to be sent to Barry. By the time the locomotive was rescued from scrap in 1973, the 83rd engine to leave Barry, it was last surviving ex-LNER locomotive not preserved. 61264 is one of two surviving Thompson Class B1s, but the only LNER-built example, the other being BR-built 61306 Mayflower.
Andania at NYMR
200 of the Class 40 diesel-electric locomotives were built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows & Robert Stephenson & hawthorn, Darlington between 1958 and 1962. At one time they were the pride of the British Rail early diesel fleet and I remember them well on the North-West mainline roaring through Wigan and Warrington and pas Newton-le-Willows were some were built. After their initial success, by the time the last of the 200 were entering service they were already being replaced on some top-link duties by more powerful diesel and electric locomotives. On relegation from mainline express passenger uses, they ended up doing more 'local' passenger and freight services where they worked for many years, before retirement from regular service by 1985. At the time of writing ther are appox 20 in operation. So one could say that Andania is the stat of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (Heritage Railway) Diesel 2016 Gala, here she can be seen at Grosmont Station

Knareborough Castle Raven
The castle belongs to the queen under her title ' The Duchy Of Lancaster'. For the celebrations in 2000, it thought it would be fitting to have a northern version of the Tower of London. The difference being that the ravens would be captive bred hand reared birds. This would mean that they would be more approachable and visitors go then stand eye ball to eye ball if they so wished without fear of being attacked. It was also a way of uplifting these magnificent birds persona, by showing people that the old superstitions surrounding ravens were misguided.

The Scarborough Spa Express - Galatea Departure
In winter of 1994 the SVR(H) Board announced the sale of 45690 Leander and 45699 Galatea to the family of Dr. Peter Beet. 45699 was still in ex-Barry condition when it left the Severn Valley Railway in 1994. 45699 was at Tyseley until 2002 when it was sold to the West Coast Railway Company and moved to Steamtown Carnforth where it was given a complete rebuild. This also included the manufacturing of a new middle driving wheel after the original was cut through after a shunting accident at Barry Island. Gallatea returned to steam in April 2013 and operates on the main line as part of the West Coast Railway fleet. Its mainline ticket is valid until 2020.

Repton
By 1928 the Southern Railway was well served by large 4-6-0 express passenger locomotives, but there was an urgent need for a class to fulfill intermediate roles throughout the system. Maunsell’s previous attempt at developing his predecessor’s L class for this task had proven a disappointment, and the Drummond D15 and L12 classes were approaching the end of their useful lives on these services. An entirely new secondary express passenger locomotive was required to operate over the main lines throughout the system including those that had relatively short turntables.
