SC98 - Post 2 June - Square format

This Clock stands in the centre of Cobb Gate Car Park in Lyme Regis, acting as a small roundabout. It is a square four sided structure with a clock face on three of the sides. The fourth side bears an inscription which reads:- "This clock was erected, by public subscription to the memory those associated with this Town who laid down their lives in the 1939 - 1945 war". Each of the corners of the four sides has gold edging design on it. The three sides with a clock face each has their own individual dedication. One face is dedicated to Owen Lovell, a former Mayor of the Town. Another pays tribute to Michael Lewis, he served as Town Clerk and worked for the Council for twenty-seven years. This face is showing here. The third clock face has gold letters and numerals under it, AD 2000, the new millennium, hence referred to as the Millennium Clock.

The beautiful picturesque village of Beer is located on the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast in Devon. Surrounded by white chalk cliffs, the shingle beach is lined with fishing boats still bringing in their daily catches and is famous for its mackerel.

A cold, dull and very windy day at Budleigh, but a very enjoyable walk to and from there from Otterton. The salt marsh programme along the River Otter is now complete, with new bridges, bird hides and circular walks. We must visit between October and March to see best of the wildlife. That day we only saw some swans, an egret, a few geese, and an oyster catcher. The PiP was taken about the same time of year in 2023. What a difference in the weather. www.lowerotterrestorationproject.co.uk/estuarytoday.html

SC97 – Post 26 May - Black and white, nature This was taken when Adrian and myself were playing crazy golf. Great fun and a close game, he beat me by one point. I did get a hole in one though.

What I love about this mural is the fact that it has been done by removing the surface rendering. It's such a pity that it has been paint-balled though.

SC96 - Post 19 May - Street consumers This our youngest grandchild, James.

SC94 - Post 5 May - Framed. The doors are open allowing folks to enter the car to go down the cliff. For over a century Bridgnorth Cliff Railway has been transporting the people of Bridgnorth up and down the 111 ft sandstone cliffs that separate High Town from Low Town, and the River Severn. It is first and foremost a working railway; its importance to both the townspeople of Bridgnorth and to visitors to the town is undiminished by age. The railway operates two cars on parallel tracks. Connected by steel ropes, the carriages serve to counterbalance each other – as one rises to the top station, the other runs to the bottom station. The cars are now powered by an electric winding engine, but were originally driven by a system of water balance, each carriage carrying water ballast in a tank beneath the passenger compartment. The cars were replaced with “up-to-date” cars of aluminum monocoque construction in 1955. Simple sliding doors at each end of the cars run on their original ball bearing rollers. Each car weighs approximately 5.5 tonnes when fully laden with 18 passengers. On that trip downwards there were only 3 of us, myself, Adrian and a local woman. The track is 201 feet long, with a rise of 111 feet and consists of a double run of track – one for each car. Concrete steps run between the 2 tracks. It doesn't take very long to complete the journey in the 'car', but we walked up from the Low Town, and that took much longer. ;-) You might be able to notice, in the top right hand corner, a screen which shows the operators and ticket collectors what the queues are like. Adrian is there wearing a black jacket and pale trousers.
