https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7732685
Shadfen mine closed in the 90s. It was a privately operated mine; anyone could turn up and buy coal there.text/html2024-03-23T22:16:10+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/18685Leanmeanmo55.165499 -1.658719NZ2185 : Arwen and Isha
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7732683
The snapped tree on the left has a faded fracture and its direction suggests it's one of Storm Arwen's many casualties still not cleared two years on. The tree that has fallen to the right is a much more recent victim, probably Storm Babet or Storm Isha.text/html2024-03-23T22:00:53+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/18685Leanmeanmo55.169196 -1.632157NZ2386 : Spot the pillbox!
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7732680
Still gallantly defending the bridge from invasion forces 80 years on. The 'Beehive' style pillbox is in the centre of the picture, probably better camouflaged now than it was in its prime.text/html2024-03-22T21:12:30+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/18685Leanmeanmo54.969755 -1.619610NZ2463 : Victorian lamp bracket maybe?
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7732137
Not really sure what this fitment is, attached to the former Crown Hotel in Clayton Street West, Newcastle. It looks like it's made of cast iron.

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7726776
The 50 m³ dragline bucket is a lasting reminder of the Stobswood opencast site. The Ace Of Spades was a 4000 tonne Page 757, 'walking' dragline excavator, used to remove the overburden, thereby allowing the coal seams to be accessed. It operated at the mine from 1991 to 2003. The mine closed in 2005, when the hole was filled in and the land restored to agricultural and recreational use. See

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7695734
This small, iron rich, spring emerges from the fenced off boggy area before making its short (900m) but interesting [[7456973]] journey to the Forest Burn.text/html2024-01-25T16:59:17+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/18685Leanmeanmo55.310361 -1.936798NU0401 : Potts' Chair
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7695693
Potts' Chair actually comprises two carved stone 'thrones', the Queen's Throne is in the centre of the picture and the King's Throne is the shadow just to the left of the tree trunk. These seats with a splendid view of Simonside were supposedly carved in the 17th Century.text/html2024-01-20T18:16:04+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/18685Leanmeanmo55.312970 -1.942308NU0302 : A solitary victim of Storm Arwen
