‘Scene’ in Bakewell yet again on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

It is not often that I follow a blog from one place with another from the same place. 

 

However!

 

The posting of my blog from Bakewell almost coincided with the arrival of a selection of images received from friend Peter Rose taken in the same place.

 

I decided to post them ‘back to back’ as it were, to show you, the reader/viewer the variety of public transport that can seen in this very popular, riverside, Derbyshire town. 

 

All these image are courtesy of Peter Rose and posted with his permission and my thanks.

 

He enjoys images captured in the environment rather than being close cropped the way I do.

 

Out of respect for his opinion, they are not cropped as close as I would normally do which also allows you to see a bit more of Bakewell!

The former bank to the right of the bus is a handsome building and is just waiting for some entrepreneur to come along and turn it into a pub or bistro.

 

Any offers???
