Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram Cranes, cranes, cranes. After deciding the iron post in Riddlesden was a crane base I went looking for less 'minimalist' examples and found these in the canal wharf near Leeds railway station. You can see how the crane fits on the post and can rotate around it. The first crane here has been relocated during the development to a less meaningful place away from the canal edge, it was originally on a hexagonal concrete plinth giving it a bit more height. Cranes were named after the bird which got their name from a old word meaning 'cry hoarsely' refering to their call #crane #canal #industrialheritage #manualcrane #canalcrane #leeds #granarywharf #canalwharf #wharf A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Jul 27, 2019 at 6:13am PDT
