As part of the Breamish Valley Photographic Collection we continue to gradually add historic photos to the collection to build up a sense of the social history of the Breamish Valley.
As part of the Hedgeley Estate Carr-Ellison Family Collection, we have just added three new portrait photographs:
If you’ve been enjoying looking at the growing collection of images in the Breamish Valley Photographic Collection, you’ll be interested to know that we’ve just added another image to the George Blyth Collection.
As part of the Breamish Valley Photographic Collection, the images that were part of the 2002 Golden Jubilee Cookbook, compiled by May Wilson of Powburn, are now available for viewing online.
You can access the index of images here>>
If you have any photographs that would help us construct a visual social history of the Breamish valley and would be willing to share them, please CONTACT US.
George Blyth was an enthusiastic photographer. He took numerous photographs of people, places and events in the Breamish Valley.
A lot has happened since June 2017 when John Carr-Ellison of Hedgeley Estates led a public meeting in Powburn to discuss the Estate’s plans for the management of the Breamish Lakes. Work has progressed on developing unique and diverse habitats for both migrant and resident birds.
Thanks once again to photographer David Hanks, who was accompanied by Robbie Burn (Chair of Hedgeley Parish Council), we are able to view this rare development as a bird’s-eye, 360-degrees view:
Following our recent post showcasing photographer David Hanks’ Branton Lakes 360-degrees aerial ‘movie’, David has been out with his drone again: this time, photographing the Hedgeley Lakes.
His work provides another striking perspective on our local landscape. He’s created two movies: one shot at 100m (which gives the same perspective as the Branton Lakes 360-degrees movie that was also photographed at 100m) and one shot at 50m. You can view them here:
I’ve just had an email from Cheltenham-based photographer David Hanks who has recently been staying at the River Breamish Caravan Club site.
He’s created a stunning 360-degrees aerial view of Branton Lakes Nature Reserve.
If you want to see the Branton Lakes and the immediate surrounding area like (I suspect) you’ve never seen before then take a look at David’s work here:
The end-of-winter light at night creates some wonderful Powburn skies.
The above header image was taken from my back garden in Powburn, as is the one below.
It’s that time of the year again – when snowdrops appear seemingly everywhere along the Breamish Valley and throughout Northumberland.
The conditions seem to have been just right as there is a spectacular display of snowdrops this year.
Well…will it be a white one? I’m dreaming of one, are you?
2017 seems to have gone so quickly…but it’s been fun!
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone…
