Hi

Well, finally, got my camera to upload pics, good job too, as I found the car was nearly full today, and secondly, was fed up of looking at the pics on the 3" screen the camera has!!

So here they are:-











Cheers and an excellent place to visit!

Hi

Do I take it that those pictures were taken today, 'cause I'm 10mls up the road and it snowed all day. If it's clear of snow in Burton, perhaps pay a visit tomorrow.

Regards

Graham

Hi

No these were a while back now, still worth going for a look though if you have the chance tomorow! I have just driven home and it is snowing quite a bit in various places, so there might be a bit about tomorow.

Cheers

Hi Tom

I will watch out for you next time I come over, or ask for you as I don't know what you look like hehe, hopefully be over again in 2010 at some point!

Cheers

Thanks for the pictures. I really wanted to make it over there but had family visits and things getting in the way. I near as dammit drove past it both days as well! Oh well next time.
You should come down to Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester one day Dave, hopefully there will be all 4 beams working in the near future (but annoyingly and extra boiler has to be hired to run them - the council kindly ripped out the originals to install a museum on shit lol).
