Eiffel Street, Hebden Bridge

Sunday 29th May 2016, 10.00pm (day 1,739)

Eiffel Street, 29/5/16

A nice, sunny Sunday, which I saw nothing of, being confined at home grading assignments and wondering (among other things) what I was going to offer for today’s shot. But I did not give up; as night fell I got this shot of the tenement-style housing across the way. Why this line of top-and-bottom housing (the upper levels will be a different house from the lower, facing the street behind) is named for Gustave Eiffel I have no idea, probably it was all being built around the same time as that tower in Paris and so someone paid tribute.

Calder Holmes Park

Monday 16th May 2016, 5.00pm (day 1,726)

Calder Holmes, 16/5/16

I was working in Manchester all day, but there it was chilly and grey. Things were much more attractive on my return home to Hebden Bridge, so let’s depict that instead.

The hi-vis team

Friday 6th May 2016, 8.40am (day 1,716)

Track team, 6/5/16

it’s the ‘men at work’ post number n+1. All credit to them though, whatever they were doing not a single train through Hebden Bridge station was late this morning, and we have eight an hour in all directions.

Outside the gym

Monday 2nd May 2016, 10.00am (day 1,712)

Outside gym, 2/5/16

A public holiday in the UK today. I still had to work — courtesy of skiving off last Thursday mainly — but the gym didn’t open until 10. I like this shot because of the seemingly random arrangement of quadrilaterals running along the wall to the guy who, like me, was just a minute or two early.

Grown men acting silly

Sunday 1st May 2016, 1.45pm (day 1,711)

Morris dancers, 1/5/16

Even on May Day this kind of behaviour is inexcusable. Really, you shouldn’t do this kind of thing in public, guys.

British weather, late April

Tuesday 26th April 2016, 2.55pm (day 1,706)

April snow, 26/4/16

The solar panels over the road get a day off today, one of those days which proves that the British weather will do what the hell it wants, any time of year.

Playmobil Man (Silly Billy’s, reopened)

Saturday 16th April 2016, 11.35am (day 1,696)

Playmobil man, 16/4/16

Since being collectively taken out by the floods on 26th December, about two-thirds of Hebden Bridge town centre has reopened. There have been some subtle moves around, as well — like here, with the toy shop, Silly Billy’s, translocating to a new location on Old Gate and reopening in the last week or so. Playmobil Man serves as an advert to draw the punters in — let’s hope it does so.

Directive

No hippies sign, 11/4/16

I assume this is all postmodern and ironic. Then again, perhaps it is post-postmodern and they actually mean it.

In the park

Sunday 3rd April 2016, 3.05pm (day 1,683)

Mario brothers, 2/4/16

Spring is hardly barrelling in with both guns blazing but there are hints of it here and there in Hebden Bridge…. Last day of my Easter break today, one of the most uneventful in history, but in terms of relaxation it cannot be faulted. Back to work tomorrow though (but then don’t expect a great deal more eventfulness then, either).

Chimney pot

Wednesday 30th March 2016, 11.55am (day 1,679)

Chimney pot, 30/3/16

I am off work, but this is in no way the most eventful Easter break of my life. Nor the least chilly. Both facts lead to today’s photo being evidence of the fire being lit in the house across the road today — at lunchtime.
