A Stockport tunnel

The gated west portal of the disused, part-infilled Tiviot Dale tunnel in Stockport (WJP1 80 / SJ8933590703), part of the Cheshire Lines Committee route opening in 1865. The 205metre-long bore closed in 1980, along with its nearby cousin, the 225m-long Wellington Road tunnel. Both can be easily reached alongside the busy M60 to the north of the town centre.

Bored? Try THIS website...

Ever get so bored you could watch paint dry? Ever wonder what that dreadful noise is in the sky, or where that aeroplane's going?

Well now you can find out with Plane Finder, a real time website that tracks civilian aircraft world wide. Simply HOURS of fun just waiting to be had at the click of a mouse!! Ooh, a glider's just taken off from Aston Down...

(In no way am I endorsing any trades, products or companies, I'm just promoting a fun website!)

A list of airport codes (worldwide) can be found here.

Er, poor taste journalism - or tempting fate...

This surely has to be the least good taste bit of news on the web today, or was it just put together innocently but wrongly thought out - read the headline on the right first!

I truly never thought I'd live to see the day that an entire tower block could be gutted like that! Thoughts and prayers tonight go out to those who died and to all those poor souls who've lost everything. I live in social housing and I value my possessions. Yes, possessions can be replaced, but some folks in these flats have very little anyway through poverty, so to lose it all is utterly sickening.

Hello

Hello - I'm still around, just going through an idle spell right now. Don't expect any postings any time soon (later in summer I expect), as I'm not in the Urbex zone right now. Hope to get back there in July or August though.

As always, my older photos can be found on my Flickr page. Cheers.
