Sarah Jones and Rob Stevens perform the time-honoured mirror routine in our highly successful amateur panto. The show, running at the Grove Park Theatre in Wrexham, North Wales from 10th December 2009 to 2nd January 2010, achieved 99.39% ticket sales over 27 performances, nearly all before the opening night. This scene looked better from the wings or the sides of the auditorium than it did from the centre, as both actors' facial expressions were more clearly visible. The scene evolved during ...

Telford's magnificent aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal, now part of a World Heritage Site, was drained for one of its regular structural inspections. Ten-year-old David Halligan won a competition to "pull the plug". After two hours of brilliant sunshine with the moon in the background, Sod's Law intervened and mist closed in just as the valve was about to be opened! The water plume took at least three seconds to fall 111 feet to the River Dee. The inspection, involving abseiling down the ...

Another attempt with the pole-mounted Nikon D90. Cruise boat "Thomas Telford" from Llangollen crosses with Aubrey at the helm and Helen and Phil as cabin crew, followed by Peter and Bev on "Sally". The towpath here is about 90 feet above the fields, increasing to nearly 127 feet over the bed of the river Dee. This view shows just why they call it "The Stream in the Sky", and it probably gives the best impression of the approach embankment from Fron, one of the biggest earthworks in Britain ...

Experimenting with a Nikon D90 on a pole to give a higher than usual view of a boat and emphasise the height of the aqueduct. A bit hit-and-miss, but the boat was in shot most of the time. The boat's engine made the railing vibrate!

Rocking and rolling in the buffeting wind, here's a pan from north-west to east on a sunny mid-October day. The spectacular limestone Eglwyseg cliffs and Panorama Walk give way to the River Dee and the eastern part of the Vale of Llangollen, with Henry Robertson's lofty Cefn Viaduct and the even higher A483 road bridge in the distance. Thomas Telford's Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, now a World Heritage Site, is faintly visible in front of the viaduct, its silvery grey ironwork almost blending into ...

Plas Newydd (New Hall) was the home for over 50 years of a pair of eccentric aristocratic Irish spinsters, Sarah Ponsonby and Eleanor Butler, who moved to North Wales in the latter half of the 18th century. Often pictured in black riding clothes and top hats, they became celebrities among the artistic and intellectual community, collecting works of art and decorating their house with antique carvings that have occasionally made it a location for fantasy movies. The equally dramatic hilltop ...
