An industrial scene in a Yorkshire dale this is Salts Mill in Saltaire. The former woollen mill now houses the brilliant 1853 art Gallery & David Hockney exhibition. Have a Happy Wednesday Wall. Enjoy the day.

80 years ago on May 8th 1945 at the end of the Second World War in Europe my father was with the RAF Regiment in Kiel Germany and a few days later moved on to Copenhagen where this photo was taken. Here my father is standing second from left with Les Brooks to the right of him billeted in the Naval Academy with 2827 Rifle Squadron. The main squadron base was at Vaerlose airfield northwest of the city but a small section of airmen were allocated to this location which was also a flying boat base. The LuftMarine was still in occupation in May-June 1945 and he and his fellow airmen were the only Allied military personnel on site until the Germans were repatriated.

Baddersley Clinton, the house, is beautiful and sits in a beautiful location surrounded by a moat, meadows and woodland. Founded in Saxon times it mainly dates from the 16th century with 17th century additions and was restored in the mid-20th. The National Trust took it on in 1980. HWW to everyone. Have a great day.

It's good to see this Midland Railway relic is still in situ by the site of the long-gone Forster Square station in Bradford. It is at least 102 years old and the wrought iron MR is wearing thin! This was the entrance to the station back in the day but today it is just a fence in the Midland Hotel car park. The present-day station is some distance further north. HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Salts Mill and the surrounding village of Saltaire was financed and built by the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt in 1853 after he observed other textile factories and was disappointed by the working conditions he saw there. The mill closed in 1986 and the following year it was sold to Jonathan Silver, who began a long renovation scheme. HWW to everybody. Enjoy the day.
