More snow photos... but no apologies. It's not every year that we get so much down here in the bottom of the valley, though it didn't last more than half a day before it melted in the rain. So pretty though, and it completely transforms the familiar views around the village. Above is Albert Terrace, the cobbled street, brightened and lightened by the snow.
The corner of Amelia Street, where it joins Albert Terrace, has an even more timeless air in this weather. Amelia was Sir Titus Salt's eldest daughter, who acted as his personal secretary until she married in 1873.
The lion statues all had a little covering of snow, making them stand out against the backdrop. The building above is the old school, now part of Shipley College.
Sure does make the town look pretty and different.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like that first photo, the vertical accents make it something special. I used to know someone called Amelia Street but I don't think she had a Saltaire connection. Never met Albert Terrace.
ReplyDeleteCertainly you have sold Saltaire village to me. It looks delightful.The gas lamps are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow ! you have snow ! I haven't seen a snowflake since a year ! It snowed in the Ardennes but not in Waterloo. Anyway I am more for spring !
ReplyDeleteThe lion looks quite cozy in the snow.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where the snow is!
ReplyDeleteThe snow makes it all look so nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish it got cold enough to snow here in WA, how pretty it looks! Beautiful images as always Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThe snow gives it all a timeless, old fashioned sensibility.
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely!
ReplyDeleteJust a little dusting of snow goes a long way in your part of the world. All of your snow photos look like postcards or Christmas cards.
