Some of my older photos – Oxenhope and Haworth

Firstly some pictures of an apparantly abandoned research facility on the Oxenhope moor in Yorkshire. It really is in the middle of nowhere. On a trip over to Haworth with family, we passed it and I demanded that we stop on the return journey. I couldn’t easily get close enough to really take pictures, especially with my parents watching – otherwise I would have been over the fence in an instant. The sign at the gate gives an indication what it was used for, Measuring raindrop sizes and the brightness of stars for the University of Bradford. I don’t know how long it’s been in this state for but the telephone number is pre-change. Seems a shame.. though at least it means I got to find and photograph it. Was a very unexpected thing looming on the horizon.

The second lot are just some photos I took whilst wandering around Haworth. Mostly shots around the graveyard where the Bronte family are buried. The village itself is lovely. I also discovered some old electrical equipment behind one row of houses. I put pictures in Miscelaneous because they had to be shown. I don’t think you’re meant to leave such things out to get wet, but never mind.

Theres also some random photos up, mostly from 2004 as thats the year I have sorted through so far. The picture to the right was taken at the war memorial in Grange Over Sands on a beautiful summers day. The rest cover topics and locations to far and wide to completely list here, but if you have a question regarding a particular photo in any set just leave a comment and I’ll try and remember. Oh for cameras with built in GPS !
