Elland
in the county of West Yorkshire, England, south of Halifax, by the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. Its name comes from "ea-land", land near the water. Elland was famous for its durable flagstones which, thanks to the nearby canal, could be transported very economically all over the county (...)Top photos chosen by u all:
A right shower...
Made by itsjustanalias
I miss the Guy Fawkes' nights of old... the smell of cheap chinese gunpowder in the morning, the burns from dropped sparklers, the biscuit tin with the rockets in and the severe adverts advising you not to hold the fireworks in your hand when you let them off... Still, they did quite well at the Elland Round Table Fireworks display, there was parkin and tea and bonfire toffee from Dobsons, and youths misbehaving and parents overemphasising the oooohs and aaaahhhs for their young children, most of whom were more interested in their replica lightsabres.
Rule (over Elland), Britannia
Made by Tim Green aka atoach
At first I thought it was a young King Neptune (with the toasting fork) but it seems to be a not-particularly-feminine looking Britannia. She's by the bridge over the River Calder in Elland (between Halifax and Huddersfield).
