I recognised that immediately, I used to go the museum there a lot with my mum and stepdad (who was from Ashington) when I was young.
Also your Cresswell sunset picture is just awesome

I thought it looked familiar - I must have been there as a kid as we were dragged all over the place by my parents. Usually tied to the back of the car, but firm parenting never did us any harm.

Great pic- have you been down Cockersands Abbey way near Glasson Dock? Lots of wild sandy beauty
went for a walk to get fags about an hour ago, and at first i meant to post this (taken in manc)when i got in. everything has been making me *furious* this evening, and the randoms calling me 'girl', asking if i 'wanted to visit', and whether i was 'working' made me want to bite someone.
took a quieter route home, and saw these:
i have no idea wtf it is about, or that they were there in the first place will do some findouting..
saw this again, which i keep meaning to photograph. so i did.
e2a: my dayrover budget for tomorrow covers trains and buses. hebden bridge, here i come! (in a speedier way than it might've been)

Have you been to Tod market? They're got a great coffee shop in there. You can either buy a coffee to sit in (well, it's like a bar, rather than somewhere you go in), take away or buy beans. I love it. Only just in West Yorkshire, I believe (the train station at least). So your ticket would get you there should you wish to visit.
Apologies if you already knew about it

Sorry to hear about the dickheads last night tufty79 - morons everywhere sadly. No better in manc - when I was out one day with the camera I was taking a shortcut down a short stretch of canal which handily connects two parallel roads (the one where there were loads of kids jumping in which I mentioned), and as I got to the end of the towpath to rejoin the road, I passed two lads, probably around 12 years old so.
They asked 'why have you got a camera?'.* I quite reasonably said to take pictures, to which they replied 'oh, of the kids' meaning the ones I'd passed a bit earlier. Oh do fuck off you pair of fuckwits.
* apart from this being perhaps the most idiotic question ever! Errr, it might just be to take photos with, you pair of cretins.
They didn't sound like the sharpest knives in the block though.

The sad thing is that you get some adults who have the same mentality.

If kids ever say anything to me I just ignore them and keep walking. If they don't get a response they'll just give up. Shite state of affairs I know.

It's happened to me too, in London a few years ago, although I wasn't even taking photos at the time.

My "members of the public being scum" story: about four weeks ago I got egged when walking down Stretford Road, Hulme, back from the pub. Was a bit taken aback, but then the following morning walked back down that road on the way to college (purging the demons), and spotted several broken eggshells along my path. It seems like the fuckwits were in a car, tossing eggs at unfortunate randoms, including myself. Some people...

Blimey, £7.50 for a dayrider? It's £6.40 (off peak) for a bus and train dayrider in Greater Manchester
(Although the cost of a day ticket that covers buses, trains and trams in Greater Manchester is about on a par with your day ticket in West Yorks.)

I once had a dickhead chuck a macdonalds milkshake at me from a moving car as I was walking down Regent Road in Salford. Luckily they missed, but just what is wrong with these halfwits!

Tufty, if it's not too late, I recommend the Hole in't Wall pub in Hebden and the charity shops I love going Hebden. As a vegetarian, I do get slightly freaked out though by suddenly having a large amount of meal options to choose from and prevaricate to the point of tears.
