Good job well done Pete to you and the other staff involved . Graham Thanks Graham It was a lovely way to finish the day on Christmas Eve. Me and Suzette, one of the ladies in the photograph, delivered them personally. The young family have a roof over this heads, albeit temporarily, and on a crime ridden estate full of drug dealers and users, sex workers and general criminal sorts. We also bought mum a couple of presents too. Our housing advice team will be working with the family in the New Year to try and sort out some permanent accommodation. Victims of domestic abuse. Happy Christmas everyone. Pete 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thanks doesn't seem enough for the job you and countless others do to help day in and day out, it's just brought up more this time of the year. I know I slept in a school doorway, car, then was lucky it was Christmas eve and friends went on holiday and I had a roof over my head for a week minding the house. God bless you my friend.

Guest Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) I took a number of photos at Shipley Station [Bradford] on 28 April 1984. In this one however there is something that has puzzled me ever since. Take a look at the unexplained image on the platform edge to the right of the shot. It looks quite frightening to me yet I didn't see anything unusual as I took the shot. Your thoughts? Edited December 29, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) It was only when I scanned the photos for the first time just now [36 years after taking them], that I spotted those kids on the platform. I remember them playing there now though and that it was a Sunday. There didn't seem to be much else in the way of entertainment in the vicinity. I already have someone in mind on the site who I'm confident will know the answer.

Guest Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I had no idea what Huddersfield station would be like before I arrived there, however when I did I was overwhelmed by it. I returned just over two years later to watch Wimbledon get promoted to the 1st Division at Huddersfield in what was one of the worst matches I can recall being at, until the solitary goal went in!

Happy New year mate. Steve Thank you, Steve. That’s much appreciated. While I might have started the photography thread back in 2013 (was it really that long ago??), what’s kept it going strong is an endless stream of brilliant pics from so many Soul Source members. If we weren’t all curious to see the latest additions, or be so eager to add our own, the thread would have died ages ago. But it continues to go from strength to strength - and long may that continue! Given it’s the first day of a new year, I’ll start up the 2019 thread shortly... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
