Ilkley Moor for this week’s Sunday morning wander. I’ve been meaning to go back here for far too long. I usually park up at the Cow and Calf, but thought I’d try somewhere new today and parked just below the White Wells Spa Cottage. Sat looking out at the view, bathing in the early morning sunshine, was a perfect, peaceful start to the day.
A part of the National Railway Museum that I have never seen before. It started out as a Flying Scotsman exhibit and then turned into a warehouse of stuff. It reminded me of the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts – where you go to hide something. There were model trains, model boats, model trains, badges, bits of signals, model trains, platform signs and model trains.
As I looked around at all the platform signs, I thought it was a real shame there wasn’t a 9 3/4 sign. Then when I looked down as we were leaving, I saw it. (If you missed it, it is in the top photo in the corner.) A nice touch.
Stephenson’s Rocket that is. Not the original, but a replica which sits at the National Railway Museum in York.
