Memories of growing up in rural Easy Yorkshire. 1985 ish.  Market Weighton Old Brewery 1985 12020-07-27-0030 by Keith Hudson, on Flickr The old brewery Market Weighton a couple of years prior to its demolition, at the time used as a grain store and small work shops. Thus is the present day view of the opposite side of the site, at least the scale and foot print is sympathetic with the old buildings. Somewhere in Dad's photos there are images of the actual demolition, not yet scanned, one day I may get back to that project. On the old forum I mentioned that I had relatives that grew up in Market Weighton. Well I was wrong. I was up that way last weekend visiting family and saw my aunty. They lived in Little Weighton in fact. Before I knew that, I asked if they knew your family (assuming they were from MW). She said that the surname Hudson was known for Railway building or something in the area. That part of your history? My cousin owns and runs the Hotham Arms, only several miles from MW. From Little Weighton and Hotham they would be more likely to know my Mother's side of the family, Marson who were from the North Cave area on of my Uncles is still very active in the local pool teams, William aka Bill aka Peter Marson. His son, my cousin Mark Marson is best known for scale steam engines and has three (?) road registered engines ranging from a small traction engine to a 1/3 or 1/2 (?) scale Foden steam truck which is about 3M long.
Yes George Hudson was a railway developer in the area who bought Londsborough Hall about three or four miles outside Mkt.W before going bankrupt big time and taking lots of investors down with him. Any connection with the family would be difficult to prove as my Father's Father is a blank space on his 1930 birth certificate, when I was younger people did not talk about that sort of thing and I doubt there is anyone still alive that could provide more information.
(For all the - that's lots of info for a public forum - people, it is all easily collated from FaceBook, nothing said above is news)

Careful! You are sounding like my American relatives' Christmas greetings!! Ha! Christmas cards with double sided A4 circulars, no I don't do that. Occasionally do a snow scene printed on double sided matt art paper, Christmas card for my more arty friends but that's it. |

I can see why it's a favourite, Nigel. That sky is fantastic & there's nought wrong with the rest of it... Much appreciated Mike. I do like a good sky...  |

I take pretty most of my pictures as records in order to remember days out - perhaps less so this year because we've been revisiting the same place time after time and I've moved from the birds to the gardens to the insects and to the flowers so it has been more about things than places. Otherwise they are mostly memories and it is fun looking back, which I do quite often, that being an advantage of Lightroom in particular. Leaving out all the family stuff. This picture reminds me of a bitterly cold February day. I got so cold that I gave up and headed back to the train before the action really started. It was Carnival in Binche and the place was packed. No way to get into any café/bar for refreshment, they were all 10 deep outside the doors. I was carrying two cameras - 70-200 on APS-H and a 24-105 on full-frame. This chap seemed to have dropped out - probably popping back home to repair his make-up. It was the first and I believe only time I have deliberately pointed a camera at a "knowing" stranger with the intention of taking a picture and I was very nervous about it even though he was in costume, which I generally take to mean "photos permitted'. He was distracted - he had clearly touched his face and it was a shame that he'd spoiled the "costume'. He looked rather down. I missed the moment but he smiles beatifically at someone just after I took this. I don't know why "Les Stroumpfs" seemed so popular in Belgium. This was 2012 so they were quite "old" in terms of making a character appearance. In Brussels there is (or was, not been there for a while) a statue of one placed at a back entrance to the Central Station metro, direction Grand Place, and not far from a Novotel I used to stay at on business. This was posted in APForum in February 2018.  BV9R0040.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

The only one that comes to mind is this recent shot (March this year) which I initially over-saturated to the extent that it made the identification difficult. Over-saturated - wrong colour - too green by far  DSCF1691.jpg by Pete, on Flickr More appropriate treatment and "correct"  DSCF1691.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I generally prefer muted colours, so don't have many examples of over saturated, but I think this one probably qualifies:  aIMGP7937cr s by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr |
