Humps on the road surface have told the driver exactly where to park in a forward/backward direction. The driver presses a button in the cab which communicates by wifi to the charging station. The red part of the charger descends - like an inverted tram pantograph - and makes contact with terminals on the bus. Charging commences. This method can provide top-up charging while the bus is standing by at the end of the route in addition to overnight charging at the garage. The bus operating Route 132 is an Alexander Dennis Enviro400 City EV. text/html 2023-09-02T11:54:56+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 52.455453 -1.467238 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7584846 The former Coventry Power Station seen from a narrow boat on the Oxford Canal. The station was demolished a few years after this photo was taken. text/html 2023-05-08T13:47:23+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 51.414916 0.020734 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7476944 Stink pipe outside 14 Minster Road, Plaistow, Bromley. text/html 2023-05-08T13:14:23+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 51.368175 -0.155016 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7476882 Stink pipe in Wescroft Road, Carshalton close to the junction with London Road and Manor Road North. There are still about twenty of them in Carshalton with these distinctive finials. text/html 2021-05-03T21:47:42+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 51.425202 -0.105108 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6827208 This thing stands on the east side of Knight's Hill near the entrance to Tivoli Park. Is it an ancient fire hydrant? The hole at the top is full of rubbish but may have been where a winding handle was inserted. On the side is the outlet and a curious loop below it. text/html 2020-04-26T19:31:35+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 53.956708 -1.081627 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6454901 The entrance to the former Clifford Street Friends Meeting House. This part of the meeting house opened in 1885 facing the newly created Clifford Street. A large meeting house was needed because most of the pupils and staff of the two York Quaker schools, Bootham and The Mount attended Sunday worship. History: https://www.yorkquakers.org.uk/Resources/History%20of%20Friargate%20Meeting%20House.pdf . Attendance from the schools is now optional so this part of the building has been sold off and is now residential. The current meeting house lies behind this building. Its entrance is up Friargate on the left of the picture. text/html 2019-08-28T22:28:54+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 54.202675 -2.835752 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6250181 A silver splash near Silverdale No clues to location in this picture but the camera has provided an accurate location by GPS. This image was taken with the camera on its normal colour setting but I am amazed at how close it is to monochrome. I could not have achieved that effect if I had tried! I converted it to grey scale. It is hard to tell the difference. The admins here have some funny ideas and would not allow me to publish the greyscale version. Wikimedia Commons is more relaxed and you can see both versions here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silver_splash_near_Silverdale_197068.jpg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silver_splash_near_Silverdale_197068gs.jpg It reminds me of the well known painting from ~1588, no longer ascribed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Landscape with the Fall of Icarus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_with_the_Fall_of_Icarus. In both that and my picture you miss at first sight the legs poking out of the water. But of course with my picture the owner of the legs surfaced safely a moment later. text/html 2019-05-06T13:33:10+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 52.590870 -1.986081 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6142478 The stables of Victoria Corn Mills, Long Acre Street, Walsall. The paved floor and stalls are still in place. Exterior view: [[6142470]]. text/html 2019-05-06T13:23:45+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 52.590959 -1.986229 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6142470 Victoria Corn Mills, Long Acre Street, Walsall. The projecting gable is a lucam (or lucarne) https://new.millsarchive.org/glossary/a-z-glossary/?action=show&which=3472 which would have protected the hoist used to raise sacks to the first floor. The doorway on the first floor is to load sacks directly into wagons. There is a weighbridge below it, set where the wagons would have been loaded, a good example of Victorian efficiency. Notice also the rather nice cast iron letter box set into the wall at the side of the entrance, still bearing the name of the original miller, J F Dolman.

So here is a reminder that the second Queensferry crossing is less than 60 years old. Taken from the ferry looking back towards North Queensferry. I have written notes to confirm the date of the photograph and that it was taken at 12:20 with an exposure of 1/50 second at f:5.6 on Kodachrome film. text/html 2017-06-06T14:43:19+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 56.250950 -4.711737 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5418458 My notes are preserved so I can confirm the date and add that the time was 11:00, shutter speed 1/50, aperture f:5.6 and the original is on Kodachrome. text/html 2016-06-20T23:34:30+00:00 https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3860 Roger W Haworth 53.966796 -1.072716 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5002863 Nos. 36 - 24a Huntington Road seen from just south of the junction with Park Grove. Being an offcomer, I had to ask why every house in this row and the one to the left seemed to be having building work done. It was explained that at 2015 December every one of these houses had been flooded to about half a metre deep because the relevant authorities had taken the agonizing decision to raise the Foss Barrier and let the River Ouse flood back up into the Foss (behind these houses). Now every house is having to replace flooring and furniture.
