Edingley Beck (January 2019)

Edingley Beck flows under the Southwell Trail near to the old Edingley and Kirklington railway station, Nottinghamshire. The old station house is now a residential property but there some remnants of the old railway including the bridges, the old platform and a height gauge for trains (shown in some of the images below).

Sections of the beck are lined with hedging and trees including these alder trees that have a bronze-like appearance from their early display of catkins:

I was lucky enough on this particular walk to get some bright sunshine under some dark clouds, which is always a good photographic combination:

Near to the old station are some poplar trees that always catch my eye and another tree with orange twigs. (I am not certain of its identity, and will check later in the year when the leaves form). Also, close the old railway height gauge, are some trees with red twigs which I think might be dogwood. All these trees and colours show well in the sunshine, and more so when set against dark skies:

 

Lastly, a small selection of additional photographs taken on the walk including some of the farmland adjacent to the beck:
