Winter on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal... some new locations


Back to pre-Christmas again, and some recce-work for possible transport shots, combined with a walk to Frizinghall Models and back for some bits for a project.  The bridge (above) on the edge of Shipley is a cracking location, though hindered by the lack of variety of stock which runs on the Ilkley services...


...by contrast, more trains of a greater variety run alongside the canal, but the trees make angles tricky even here in the winter, come the spring this location will be pretty much useless.



Up towards Thackley Tunnel, there are some interesting remnants of old buildings, and this nice cobbled path going up through the trees...


...and another possible location for shoots, again until the greenery appears with the spring.


The bridge over the Aire towards the model shop...


A little later chronologically, but back along the canal towards Keighley, this is near the top end of the 5 Rise locks.




And finally, a grubby industrial building in Keighley itself, which caught my eye.
