July Photography Walk Northampton and Lamport Station


It was another rainy day


the clouds were ominous


the vegetation


lush, green and rain spangled.


Not the most photogenic sky


but a great day to road test wellington boots


and watch the rain making ripples in muddy puddles.


We had a wonderful time exploring the countryside


looking at the Evening Primrose and Thistles


growing wild on the railway embankment.


We found another signal box


and plenty of interesting rolling stock.


In spite of the rain there was still


 much colour to be seen.


We didn't forget to.....

before we reached the bridge on our return journey.



Slug by special request from the children!



The full set of the photographs from the walk can be viewed on the Flickr Set here where you can enjoy many of the textures and colours found on the engines and rolling stock in and around the station of the Northampton & Lamport Railway

Upcycled Accessories

The range of accessories designed and made by Year 1 textile students at Tresham College, many of who participated in the New Vistas project we staged during the Big Draw last year. Inspired by the Textures set of photographs taken by artist Carole Miles along the Brampton Valley Way earlier this year.
