This pic is the Iron works with the reservoir at the bottom. Last things made here where cranes shut the year I moved to Ripley. The brickwork where in Waingroves a mile or so away.
The modern view would have Derbyshire police HQ and helipad top left with the A610 bisecting the photo and the Midland Railway bottom left.
I’m a self exiled Londoner been living here for 9 years you can actually see the house my son was born in this pic

Snicker truck prior to the FL, this F7, first on the fleet with a sleeper…well so long as you dont count an 86 with a board on the back shelf
Morning Steelboy,

Morning Chris,

She hated Sheffield BRS night trunkers with a passion and I were following one up Butterley Hill when on a Ross trunk.She lobbed an empty bottle at BRS artic shouting summat like “Sheffield c***s” and it bounced off and clattered front of my SA400.

A driver from the Chorley depot shot off with out paying her probably!
I think that the Falkirk Wheel was one of the last large projects to come out of Butterley? All long gone now anyway, site is earmarked for housing.

Off thread , but I forgot to mention that the Lexus is nearly 13 years old Pete suitable for an elderly retired gentleman to tootle about in .

Well that is still like saying “My Rolls Royce is thirteen years old” isn’t it? Or “I only live in an old house,… Chatsworth”

Prince of Wales? Must be called something else now and the only Ripley pig I know is the ex!!! Lol
Slightly more modern colour view of the works and all that’s left now is the brick buildings in the bottom right. Will be houses before long
Nice to see one of ■■■■ Pountains on here. Heres another one Pete.

Morning Pete,
Those Lexus, IS200 model I think, was one of the nicest cars I’ve driven, very well made and smooth and Rigsby did live at Chatsworth I believe but had to move when ROF found out and kept coming round for free breakfasts and hiding BRS sheets and ropes in the stables, Cheer’s Pete
