Once part of Lancashire and a centre of heavy chemical production, Widnes now belongs in Cheshire and most of the heavy industry is gone. Parking in Widnes is plentiful and FREE! The town itself is being regenerated slowly with new factory/ warehouses, megastores and a new shopping precinct.
Backstreets and Backbeats!
Back doors, money shop and Jay in The Music Stall in Widnes market!

Madryn Street
Madryn Street is situated in the Welsh Streets area of Toxteth in Liverpool, close to Priincess Drive / Sefton Park and is one of the streets where Ringo Starr lived as a child.
The area is due for redevelopment and the time of taking this image, there were very few inhabitants left – most homes were vacated!

Image taken in a sandstone cave in Cheshire UK. Blue and green gelled flash each side of the camera and three flashes in the chamber behind gelled with yellow / CTO ( warm ).
The smoke was generated by lighting a small fire and putting damp leaves on it. Seemed a good idea at the time!!! Unfortunately, the cave was filled with dense smoke for about half an hour – which made life difficult!

Yesterday, while photographing caves in Cheshire, I found a young mole in the cave. Unsure whether it was ‘it’s territory’, I left it to scuttle around the cave. Later, I realised that it may be trapped and tried to rescue it but my torch ran out of power. I returned this morning only to find the poor critter had died just before I got there and its body was still warm.
View from near the cave…
