Upwey Station 1974

Upwey station in Dorset was on the branch line to Abbotsbury. Closed in 1952, I photographed it in 1974, when it was already being taken over by industry.

Mam Tor

Also known as the "Shivering Mountain" because of its unstable strata, Mam Tor rises to 1696 feet near Castleton, Derbyshire. It is the site of an early Iron Age hillfort.

A625 road

This stretch of road was built in 1847 to bypass the narrow Winnat's Pass near Castleton, Derbyshire. Not a good idea! After collapses in 1912, 1933, 1946, 1952, 1966 and 1976 the road was finally abandoned in 1979. It used to link Sheffield with Chapel-en-le Frith in Derbyshire.
