I visited the Cambridge Museum of Technology on 30 October 2019 after a month of re-opening the museum. So my timing was perfect. I spent there for four hours seeing most of the site and photographing and studying the history of the Old Sewage Pumping Station and the industrial history of Cambridge. This post is...

I visited Merridale Cemetery in Wolverhampton one year ago, on 20 October 2019. I had a city map and thought I am finding the cemetery easily. Well, I found the cemetery, but it was surrounded by a wall. I had to go back and find another route as the street turned out to be a... Continue Reading →
