Rochdale Canal Artworks

 The following pictures - artworks are based on 3 pictures I took on the Rochdale Canal between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. It was my first attempt at creating a pencil sketch type drawing using photoshop.

The original pictures were taken with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet on the 9th November 2013.

I belive this picture was somewhere near to the medical centre at Todmorden.

This was about half way between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.

The moorings at Hebden Bridge.

Halifax Branch Canal Artworks

 Halifax Branch Canal artworks is a set of 6 pictures of the Calder & Hebble Navigation spur towards Halifax from Salterhebble Locks. They are digital creations of prints showing various points along the what remains of the canal that used to run up towards the Halifax.

The Halifax Branch of the Calder & Hebble canal is an approx. half mile waterway that stretchers from Salterhebble junction / locks to the Watermill bar at Salterhebble Wharf.

The canal opened in 1828 and rose through 14 locks to end at Bailey Hall close to where the train station and Eureka museum now stands. The Halifax Branch fell in to disuse with the rise of firstly railways and the road transport and the section from Salterhebble Wharf to Bailey Hall was abandoned in 1942 and this has now become a cycle / pedestrian route known as the Hebble Trail with a little evidence that it was once a canal.

These artworks are based on photographs I took in November 2013 with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet.




The 3 pictures above show the canal around Wakefield Road Bridge, which is the first crossing over the canal after it branches off from the main waterway at Salterhebble Locks.


The canal was being worked on when the original picture was taken and had been drained beyond the lamp post on the tow path.


The drained canal at Salterhebble Basin.


The canal again at Salterhebble Basin, the Watermill Bar stands on the site of the demolished Salterhebble Mill.

Sa Polleta des Punset and Entrance to Benirras, Northern Ibiza Artwork

 A short post of a digital artwork I recently created of a coastal scene I pictured in 2014 whilst sailing the northern coast of Ibiza. The scene pictures a rock I believe is known as the Sa Polleta des Punset which is found at the entrance to the cove of Benirras. On the day people were sailing and swimming out to the rock to use it as a diving platform. The picture shows a small boat to the side of the rock.

Willow Hall Dam Autumnal Artwork

This original artwork created by me is based on a picture I took in March 2018 around Willow Hall Dam, Sowerby Bridge. The day had seen a number of snow showers but i'd still gone up to the dam to get out of the house for a while. To the west of the lake are some old abandoned outbuildings -garages that were of interest even though they had nothing particularly characterful about them.

The original picture is shown above. Whilst I like the picture I didn't think that there was enough going on to make it in to an artwork, so I decided to give the artwork below an autumnal look fill of bright reds and oranges to give it a look of breaking dawn, the finished artwork below.

International Football Stadiums of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

 These artworks were inspired by the joint bid by England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland to host the Euro 2028 finals. They were put together for a short video collection - slideshow.


I am currently only sharing these pictures on here, copies are available to purchase from EBay UK if you would like sized 6x4.

Aviva Stadium, Dublin
Home stadium of the Republic of Ireland football and Irish Rugby Union teams, it was opened on the 14th May 2010 on the site of the former stadium Lansdowne Road. It has a capacity of 51700 and cost 410million Euro's to construct.

Hampden Park, Glasgow
Home to the Scotland international football team and until recently Queen's Park FC, Hampden Park opened on the 31st October 1903 with Queens Park beating Celtic 1-0 in a league game. The first Scotland International played at Hampden was against England on the 7th April 1906 when a then world record crowd of 102741 watched Scotland Beat England 2-1. The stadium was extensively renovated in the late 1990's and now has a capacity of 51866. The largest crowd ever to watch a match at Hampden was 149547 for a British Home Championship fixture with Scotland beating England 3-1.

Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
Home to the Wales Rugby Union team and occasionally hosting the Wales Football team now, the Millennium Stadium was opened on the 26th June 1999 at a cost of £121 million. It has a capacity of 73931 and the record attendance for a Wales Football international at the stadium is 73062 on the 19th November 2003 in a Euro 2004 Play Off that saw Wales lose 1-0 to Russia.

Wembley Stadium, London.
England's national football stadium, Wembley was completely rebuilt in the early 2000's and re-opened on the 9th March 2007. The cost was £789million and the rebuilt stadium has a capacity of 90000. The stadium also host's a number of football finals, the Rugby League Challenge Cup final and internationals. The record crowd at the new Wembley is 89874 for the 2008 FA Cup final between Cardiff and Portsmouth.

Windsor Park, Belfast
Home of the Northern Ireland Football team, Windsor Park opened in 1905 and at its largest could hold over 60000 spectators. Renovations in the 1990's and 2015 have led to the stadium now having a capacity of  just 18500. Despite being the home stadium of potential co-host's Northern Ireland, Windsor Park is unlikely to feature in Euro 2028 as UEFA hosting rules require all stadiums to have at a capacity of at least 30000. Hopes are being pinned on a new stadium at Casement Park to meet this requirement. The record attendance at Windsor Park was for a 1-1 draw between Ireland and England in the 1956 British Home Championship.

Lealholm Post Office and Service Station

Taken whilst exploring a section of the Esk Valley Railway, I'd just been to look at Lealholm Railway Station and walking back to the village centre I passed the post office and service station which to serve the village of Lealholm (Population approx. 380) and nearby rural villages and communities. I liked how what looked like a house had become probably a central part of the community.

The picture was taken using a Nikon d3300 SLR camera on the 27 August 2022, the artwork was completed on the 29 August 2022. Both can be seen and purchased on Clickasnap. I am currently working on a 2nd artwork to be completed shortly.

Old School English Football Grounds.

 I recently completed a set of 4 artworks showing Griffin Park former home ground of Brentford FC based on some drone pictures I took around the stadium. I enjoyed creating the artworks and wanted to see if I could create some more based on old style English Football stadiums, I searched for a selection of images that were public domain and created the following artworks.

Due to the rules on Clickasnap I can not share the un-watermarked versions there, so if clicking any image below it will open a link in another window to my sports grounds artworks album on Clickasnap, all the images there are my own creation based on original photo's by me.

Albert, Connel and Forth Bridges Artworks.

The major plus point to my job is that as a long distance lorry driver I get to see many parts of the United Kingdom I wouldn't get the chance to see. Because of this I get to photograph, sketch and create artworks of these places I visit. I recently set about creating a set of bridge pictures and the first 4 can now be seen below and on Clickasnap. They are based on pictures I have taken on my travels, in this case around Scotland and on 1 occasion to Northern Ireland.

There are 4 artworks to see below, they can also be seen full size, resolution and un-watermarked on Clickasnap. Copies can also be purchased if you require, just follow the link under each picture.

Connel Bridge, Oban, Scotland.


Built as a railway crossing over Loch Etive in Western Scotland, the Connel Bridge was opened in August 1903 by the Callander and Oban Railway to carry the Ballachulish Branch Line at a cost of £43000. In 1914 a roadway was added and the bridge was then used by both motor vehicles and rail traffic, however trains had priority and the roadway was closed whenever to vehicles whenever rail transport passed over. This continued until the railway was closed in the late 1960's. The bridge is still single track with traffic lights enforcing the right of way.

Connel Bridge is cantilever in design and has a span of 524 ft, it has a height restriction of 14ft. Near to the bridge are the Falls or Lora, because of the strong tidal flow caused by these the bridge was designed the way it was built. The A828 road runs across the bridge and Oban Airport is a little to the north.

The Forth Bridge



Opened in 1890, the Forth Bridge crossers the Firth of Forth to the east of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is often referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge, but its official name is the Forth Bridge due to it being the first crossing to be constructed connecting North and South Queensferry, the other 2 road crossing opening in 1964 and 2017. The Bridge is a UNESCO world Heritage site and probably the most famous man made construction in Scotland. It was designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, with construction starting in 1882 and at its height involving over 4600 men employed in the building of it.

The Bridge was completed in December 1889, and after tests were completed was officially opened by the Duke of Rothesay on March 4 1890 when he drove home the final gold plated rivet.

Built in a cantilever design, it has a total length of 8094ft, a maximum width of 120ft at the piers, a height of 316ft, and allows a clearance of 150ft at high water mark for ships to pass underneath.

Albert Bridge, Belfast, Northern Ireland


The Albert Bridge was completed in 1890 and crossers the River Lagan near the centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Designed by JC Bretland to replace an earlier bridge that had collapsed in 1886, the bridge cost £36,500 (£5200000 in 2022 Value) to build and is named after Prince Albert Victor, the Grandson of Queen Victoria.

Allan Park Art.

 Recently updating a set of images I posted in November 2016 of Allan Park, I found a set of 3 artworks I created of the park featuring the bowling green, a set of steps inside the park and a flower in bloom.

Allan Park is a public gardens and playground set in a woodland clinging to the Norland hillside. The park was once the grounds of Allan House which was purchased by the local council in 1922 and converted in to a public park. The park is something of a hidden gem being within a couple of minutes of the town centre and railway station, but never seemingly busy possibly due to its location on the other side of town from the major population centres. The park features a number of woodland walks, a playground and bowling green but no toilet or refreshment facilities, another reason it's probably quieter than most public park in Calderdale. Another feature of the park is the top of the Scar Head Tunnel entrance can be found by following one of the paths. The tunnel being part of the now closed Rishworth Branch Railway Line along the Ryburn Valley Bottom. Click here to see my November 2016 post featuring 11 pictures taken around the park.

The 3 artworks below are based on some featured in that set of photo's. They can be seen below or full size, resolution and un-watermarked only on Clickasnap.
