Harness Maker

I think that this is probably the last picture for the time being that was taken at the Victorian Town at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum and it shows a portrait of the harness maker in his workshop.

 

 

Afternoon Tea

The Victorian Town is a brilliant venue for photography, so put it on your list of places to visit. The Ironbridge Gorge Museum is close to Telford in Shropshire and the area was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution in England.

 

Vintage Portrait

Another photo from a visit to the Blists Hill open air museum of the Ironbridge Gorge, in Shropshire, England.

This museum is highly recommended and is great for photography.

 

The Doctor Calls

A portrait taken at Blists Hill Museum’s Victorian Town in Shropshire, England.

 

Conversation

The late afternoon light filters into the cottage and the teapot stands forgotten as the conversation dwells on old friends and happy memories.

 

 

Mogul

I believe that this steam locomotive came from the scrapyard that we saw in yesterday’s post, so after rusting and mouldering for many years in South Wales, and after thousands of hours of restoration work it is seen in pristine condition on the Severn Valley Railway in this photo from the 80s.

Another scanned negative, itself restored, and seen for the first time.

 

Departure

This is a view of a departure from Bridgnorth, Shropshire, England on the Severn Valley Railway that was taken on black and white film in the 1980s. I have recently been scanning some of my old negatives, so this is the first time this picture has seen the light of day.

 

Siesta

A quiet moment during afternoon tea in a lovely old cottage in the Blists Hill Victorian Museum in Shropshire, England, and given an old masters treatment.

 

Worlds Apart

Two shop interiors and double portraits, one taken in Kochi, India and the other in a museum of a Victorian town in Shropshire, England.

One is relaxed, smiling and cluttered. The other is formal and ordered.

 

Cottage Bedroom

A homely scene of a Victorian bedroom that has a true lived in feel about it despite being found in a small cottage in the grounds of the Blists Hill open air museum in Shropshire, England.
