A few awful window shots in another treasure trove from yesterday, unfortunately was too overgrown to try every access point. I'll try again in Winter.

When we were in France this Summer came across this old medieval town called La Reole. There were stacks of empty properties but little opportunity for serious exploring. Hence here's a couple of externals...

The thing that really caught my eye was the old police station. This would have been a right place to explore. Sadly all locked up...

A tantalising peak at what could have been:

Came across this unique little building on the Blyth Road near Bircotes. I think it had something to do with electricity maybe? It looked completely sealed but then round the back was a little pikey-hole smashed in the insulation bricks. I resisted the urge to crawl in as it would have been pitch-black in there and I didn't have my touch. Not enough for a full report so popping them in here.

Tower-like building on the other side of the road:

Stop teasing...You need to get back with the torch sir ;-)
 
Anywhere near the colliery? They tended to use lots of electrickery and thus have some nice big sub-stations and switch rooms.
 
Ah, close to the colliery, the railway and the land drains.
 
Nice view of the biomass domes and rail supply line to them konrad.

The way the wagons are automagicly moved through and discharged is good to watch.

I've posted a couple of images from Drax before but never bothered with a 'report'. Here's another random image. Taken underneath the separator building (railway discharging is way behind me). That wagon is a couple of hundred yards away and the biomass domes are either side of the roadway.
