Trains, Boats, Buses, Trams and other things

We've just been a way for a few days break in Teeside and County Durham.  Below are a few of the places we visited.  Our journey started in rain and ended in hot sunshine.  

 Low cloud at Holme Moss near Holmfirth on our way up into Yorkshire.

High Temperatures on the M1 between Sheffield and Chesterfield on our way home.

It was good to see new and old remembered places.

 The famous Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate, Yorkshire.

 The Pump Room Museum in Harrogate.
 Ripon Cathedral in Yorkshire.

 Ripon Workhouse Museum.

 Durham Cathedral from the riveside walk.

Durham riverside

 St Hilda's Church, Headland, Hartlepool

 Andy Cap Sculpture, Headland, Hartlepool

HMS Trincomalee at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Hartlepool.

 'Puffing Billy' at Beamish Open Air Museum.

Vintage bus at the Beamish Open Air Museum

The beach at Saltburn-on-Sea, Yorkshire.

I'll be back with more on some of the places we visited in further posts.

    1. Thank you RR, the queue for Betty's went around the corner so we didn't go in for morning coffee - I have been in Betty's in York, a few years ago now:)

  3. Great photos of some places I've visited (and some that I haven't). I remember spending a fascinating day at Beamish and I expect it's grown in the intervening years. Looking forward to seeing some more of your travels.

    1. Thank you John, Beamish had changed since my last visitin the late 80s, there was much more to see - the main town was the same. There is a new 1950s project on the way with housing and etc, many things to be used were in their open to the public storeroom:)

  15. Oh Rosie, now I’m really homesick! I used to live in Harrogate and I still miss it. I also miss the North Yorkshire coast and Saltburn with its cliff lift is another place that I have very fond memories of visiting. How I would love to be walking on that beach! Marie x

    1. How wonderful to live in Harrogate, such an elegant city. Saltburn is a favourite place of mine as well as Staithes just down the coast. It was very hot and busy the day we visited but it was lovely to be there and have a ride on the lift and walk just a little way along the beach:)
