Nothings moving, not even the water. Hopefully one day a boat will pass, I’ll put the same photo on this day 2025, 2026, 2027- - - 2050, so keep an eye on it to see if any boats appear in shot📸👍😂

 I’d rather see one decent composed photo than 1000’s of random snaps though.

Torksey Lock. 

 

Was nice to visit with a different mode of transport and accommodation. Will definitely be going back in the near future. 

 

Oh and the newly opened coffee shop by the Lock is fantastic.

For a moment I though CRT had added two park benches to the roundabout at Old Turn.

 

I was wondering how tired passers-by were supposed to access them?

Black Sabbath Bridge BCN

 

I've said this before, but I still don't understand why CRT didn't name one of the many heavy metal bridges like this one as the Black Sabbath Bridge rather than a brick one.

It would have been more fitting, wouldn’t it?

but it seems it was important to place the Bench on Broad Street, the Birmingham Walk of Stars,

And I don’t think CRT had much to do with it other than accept it and of course appear for the opening and grab some limelight,

here’s good link to the bench: https://blacksabbathbench.co.uk
