Rocky, are you sorry that you have been bending the rules so often?
Or is it a case of "Je n'egret rien".

I crossed Three Bridges on a ride this afternoon. It's in Hanwell, West London. It is a road bridge over a canal bridge over a railway. Apparently it's an ancient monument, 3 ton weight limit.

The entrance to the underground canal system at The Delph in Worsley. This is where the coal was brought out of the mines to be loaded onto the barges. Work has recently started to clear the overgrown vegetation and there are plans to dredge the area too.
The entrance to The Delph is through the bridge which is next to the original packet house.
The dry docks at the boatyard are still in operation.

Where are all the pictures of our industrial heritage from around the country?
I had thought there would more from the other Mancunians.
Has everyone been short of time?

I was considering a dead thread resurrection noticed at one point
Short on ability to get out in this case! I could do some old pictures from last summer in Chester... Wonder if anyone would notice.

These were taken on a bike ride on Wednesday:
Old signal box somewhere just west of the Severn (OK, so the railways are still going, but signal boxes are a sign of things past).
Lydney 'docks' - lock gates leading to what is now a small marina. This is the highest dock up the Severn estuary, and was once used for shipping out iron and coal from the Forest of Dean. Plus an interesting old lamp post - I read somewhere that the gear wheels etc were for turning a shade at the top which would have been partially blacked out, to give the effect of a flashing light in murky weather. And the fixed ladder because the gas/lantern would only have needed to be lit in horrible weather when you really wouldn't want to be just propping a ladder against a lamp post.

Here's my winner, featuring chimneys on an abandoned factory in the city centre, a majestic eagle and an eclipse!
The bit of blind is an added bonus, I did consider cropping it out, but I think it adds a certain je ne sais quoi.

It's certainly a 'je ne sais (pour)quoi' it's there !
Rather like it, though !
The blind doesn't go up properly and I wouldn't have been able to get the right angle to display the eagle correctly.
It does look better cropped though:
